i could be the reason you can't sleep at night
Flora melts a little under the sudden affection, the ache in her chest momentarily softened by the press of Sohalia’s face against her curls. She tilts her head, leaning into it with the ease of someone who’s been loved this way before, who knows how precious it is when someone reaches for you just because. Not to fix or solve or carry the weight—but simply to remind you that you’re not alone under it.
"I love you too, you know," she murmurs, voice quiet but sure, her fingers finding Soh's hand to squeeze it once before letting go.
The teasing that follows draws a more genuine smile to her lips, crooked and real. "Oh, thank gods," she sighs, dramatically flopping back into the grass like she might die if she had to plan her own party. She turns her head to look at Sohalia, eyes still a little red but brighter now, lit from within by something more hopeful. "Maybe I'll go visit my mom again in King's End. You can use the magic of the rooms for more than just sex, you know. I could make it feel like I was falling asleep in the Greatwood again with Enzo."
Or aboard the Ark with Jack.
