look at everything you've overcome - don't give up now
"That's all I'd ever want from a book I wrote, honestly," Vai says with a softly exasperated sigh, as if to say is that so hard? "Perhaps I'll have to start sending chapters to your father and trust him to piecemeal it together until I can visit to give it a final edit." Winking to Flora, like this is a conspiracy for a future book deal, she contents herself with knowing that she'll have plenty to do back in Mort's halls. Resting is optional, in her opinion, however much peace there might be.
She scrunches her nose and gives the Doubletake a gentle swat to hear Flora, in her opinion, do herself so dirty. "Scars and emotional damage make us interesting, dear," she reminds her. "No matter how much wisdom your brother might have gotten, don't think that makes you any less charming or smart or gorgeous. You make even floundering look graceful, and don't ever let yourself think otherwise."
Taking a drink of her wine and smirking around it, Vai tips Flora a knowing wink. "Well," she says, "I can't promise anything of course. But leave it with me and I'll see what I can do." And Remi will have to make sure his book is an interesting one.
Tilting her head, though, as Flora continues, the humour leaves Vai's expression and she reaches out to tease gentle fingers through the Doubletake's hair, adjusting the flowers here and there with warmth and affection. "I don't see why that shouldn't be possible," she says with a soft nod. "And between you and I, I know there's a lot more you might want to demand of Mort, so this... it's a good start, no?"
