Flora sags into him without hesitation, arms looping around his middle, though it’s a stretch to make her fingers meet at his back. "Yeah.." she murmurs, the agreement shaped in a voice that’s warm on the surface but edged faintly with something sharper. "Probably is." She still hated it though, or at least, she hated the circumstances which had led up to the decision.
She tilts her chin, peering up at him with a glimmer of mischief. "A castle? I’m always down for an upgrade." The smile she flashes is bright enough to hide the rest, and she lets the moment slip into something lighter as she draws back enough to keep her gaze on his.
"Speaking of Torchline," she begins, a sly curl to her mouth, "what do you think we ought to do this season?" Her nose wrinkles in open distaste before she adds, "And if you say train more soldiers, I might drown myself in the fountain." The joke lands with a twinkle in her eyes, and she lets it roll into a more extravagant suggestion. "We could just make sure the city’s ticking along. Or—" and here her grin widens, voice dipping into mock-conspiracy, "we could try piping the lucky rum fountain into all the drinking fountains in the city. Imagine the morale boost."
