mistaking cardiac arrest for butterflies
Flora sighs, not quite able to keep the edge of it from her breath as confirmation settles in about Tal. Her fingers press gently against the bridge of her nose before falling away again, the motion weary but wordless. "Ughhh," she groans, exhaling through her nose.
At the mention of the Citadel, her gaze sharpens again, brows lifting with interest. "Smart," she says, the approval plain even as it’s tempered by exhaustion. But when Deimos adds mention of a meeting, her expression shifts. Something bright flickers behind her eyes—amusement, mostly, though it carries a twinge of something dry and sharp. "Ooh, a meeting," she echoes, feigning delight. "So official. Super glad my name isn't on that VIP list."
She shrugs a shoulder, golden curls bouncing lightly. "I’m sure Hadama will fill me in, but, lemme know if there's anything you need." Her gaze dips briefly to the blood he now carries.
The affection that rounds her next smile softens her tone. She wrinkles her nose at him, the same way she might at a protective uncle trying to offer sound advice. "I’ll be careful," she promises, though the grin that follows is impish. "Ish."
