Flora snickers, tipping her head and tapping one finger against her temple like she’d had the whole thing planned from the start. Breaking everyone up the way she had wasn’t an accident, it was strategy, and she’s not about to pretend otherwise.
At Niki's delicately phrased like that, her brows pull in briefly as she searches for what exactly he means. The sip she takes from her drink buys her just enough time for the penny to drop, and she laughs, bright with recognition. "Ah, yeah. During Leafchange, Ronin loses pretty much all of his charm and turns into a territorial monster." She shrugs, leaning back against the bench. "Even though he and Sunjata used to be besties—and they still are super close now—the Flood’s not immune when Ronin decides he’s got to stake out a twenty-foot radius around Remi." It was smaller than that, actually, but Flora, luckily, hadn't been witness to it.
Her lips purse for a moment before the shrug comes again, lighter this time. "It’s sort of sweet, in a way, y'know?" And if anyone ever wondered if Flora's daddy issues were rooted only in the past, the answer to that was a resounding no.

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