Flora groans into Sohalia’s shoulder, muffled and theatrical, before leaning back just enough to fix her with a look equal parts pity and mischief. "Soh, babe. You cannot complain about lack of romance and then say you went dancing with the literal god of casual hookups." Her brows lift, incredulous and amused. "That’s like wandering into a candy shop and being surprised there’s no nutrition."
She sniffs again, wiping the last of her tears away with the heel of her hand before tugging lightly at the hem of Sohalia’s dress. "You deserve the real thing, though. Not just chemistry or... dislocated shoulder blades from sex on the rainbow road." Cackling, she nudges her friend's shoulder.
"And for the record?" Flora continues, clearing her throat and lifting her chin like a queen regaining her poise. "Royal blue and gold it is. I’ll make it so shiny you’ll be able to see it from space. I'll name it something obnoxious and perfect. The Iridescent Regret, or maybe just S.S. Bad Decisions."
Letting her laughter melt into something softer, Flora swallows against the lump in her throat. "Will you help me come and pack my stuff? I won't bring everything..I assume one day I'll be able to go back into the city, but..y'know, the essentials?"
