look at everything you've overcome - don't give up now
"Of course I'm here," Vai says through a laugh, hugging Flora as tightly as she dares without crushing any of the beautiful flowers that make up her gown. "I wouldn't miss your fathers' ten year anniversary. And I'm glad you didn't either - I had no idea Remi was planning all this." She squeezes her close, kissing her curls and reaching up, when they finally step back, to also help carefully wipe her tears away without ruining her makeup.
"Hush now," she scoffs, "I'm withered and wise on the inside. I was hoping to earn a mane of silver hair, but you'll just have to imagine it. Deal?" Winking, she fusses over the girl's dress, the flowers and her hair until everything sits just right, before nodding and ushering her over to the drinks table. "Several sounds great to me," she agrees, reaching for two chilled glasses of white wine.
"Come on now, tell me everything. You're queen of Torchline, you're gorgeous, and from what I've seen, popular, powerful, and everything I could have ever wanted for you and more."
