Flora tips her head in a slow nod, sympathy flickering through her expression. "Might’ve been when he was infected by the void..or just after," she says, nose wrinkling faintly at the memory. "Not exactly peak health either way. How nice you got to see him again, then."
When Niki’s frown all but seals the refusal she’d expected, she lets out a long, theatrical sigh, flopping back against the bench as though the weight of her disappointment is too much to bear. "I don’t need someone to go," she says, drawing out the word with mock injury, "but it’s a long flight, and Spice isn’t always the best conversational partner."
Above them, where the palm fronds sway lazily, the little white dragon cracks open one frosty blue eye at the sound of her name. Without lifting her head from her coil, she exhales a slow stream of glittering frost in Flora's general direction. The queen just lifts a finger to point skyward, lips curving in smug vindication. "See?"

I hold my breath just a little bit longer
halfway out the door but it won't close
