[SE] killing me slow

you put me on & said i was your favourite

Flora cackles, head tipping back as if the laugh is pulled from the soles of her bare feet. "Gods, if it’d been me, I probably would’ve invited them to stay." There’s a wicked glint in her eyes as she nudges Sohalia back with a hip, her grin equal parts playful and pointed. "Guess we both got lucky back there." Wickedly, Flora bounces her eyebrows at her friend.

The teasing softens when Soh bumps her shoulder, and Flora leans in without hesitation, letting their arms press together as though she can anchor her best friend through sheer proximity. "Then we’ll figure it out," she says gently. "Together." Her gaze lifts, catching the flicker of distant sunlight through the fog behind them. "And if weird aliens or void monsters are trying to stop you from getting the love story you deserve?”" Her smile turns fierce, all teeth and glittering intent. "That’s just one more reason to take ‘em down."

At the mention of the pool party, Flora hums thoughtfully, curls bouncing as she glances ahead. 'Oh right. That," she says, tone light but careful. "Just...don’t get too close to the action." Her gaze flickers sideways, words vague but meaningful so we don't break timelines. Not quite a warning—more a thread of caution sewn into silk.
