flora
Flora emerges from between the red-barked trunks with her grin already in place, curls bouncing as she crosses back to Maea. "Went great," she declares, that particular brand of satisfaction in her voice like she’s just finished making the perfect mischief. She flashes the ancient a quick, conspiratorial smile before rocking back on her heels. "Told Ludo I’m building a new place in Torchline and asked if they could hook me up with some ghosts to haunt it."
Her hands slip into her pockets as she leans in a touch, like this is the good part. "Nice ghosts, obviously. The kind that’ll make you cocoa or tea if you’re polite. But if you’re rude..." She arches her brows, drawing the words out, "...maybe they’ll make your shower run cold. Or pull the blankets off you while you’re sleeping. You know—gentle hauntings. Character-building stuff."
She straightens, shrugging one shoulder. "I figure that way, even if I’m technically living there by myself until I bring Enzo back, it won’t feel like I am." The sentiment is tossed out casually, but it hangs for a moment in the cool Leafchange air before she brushes it aside with another crooked smile, her deep-seated loneliness not a thing she wanted to actively discuss.

My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you
And now I'm covered in you
