Her voice floated through the air, as warm and bright as Longheat sunrise on the beach, and the slow smile tugged at his lips as he set aside the report he was reading to look up at her.

"Mmh. How else will I pay for our next mani-pedi day?" He regarded Spice's investigation with fond affection before he pushed back from his desk, standing and coming around it to offer his hands to the Doubletake, the corners of his eyes crinkling with warmth of his own. The scent of sun and salt and a lingering hint of the lilies he had been sitting beside clung to his brown skin, and the gold of his tattoos seemed to glow from the indirect light scattering from above as he took her hands and squeezed them gently. "I have been busy in the Underwater City. But well. My parents are both in good health, and my sister's wedding was... mmh. Uneventful." If he looked slightly disappointed that nothing had happened to interrupt it, it was only because he was relaxed enough around Flora to reveal his true feelings. With a slight shake of his head he refocused on Flora and his smile returned. "How have things been with you?"
