Flora’s lips twitch thoughtfully as she listens, eyes drifting out across the molten colours of the road. "We didn’t really go to the village much," she admits. "Our Nonna would go if we needed something, and sometimes Enzo and I got dragged along, but it always felt like doing chores, so we usually stayed home instead." The smile that curls at the corner of her mouth softens when he mentions the orphanage, though, her brightness dimming just a little without losing its spark. "What happened to your parents?" she asks gently. Enough time had passed that it didn’t feel like prying now, not when he was living under her roof and potentially wearing her clothes while she wore his.
The glitter in her eyes returns quick as lightning when he leans into the bikini talk. Pressing her lips together to try and hold back her grin, she tips her head, voice dropping into a faux-thoughtful murmur. "Like sequins? Or lace?" Flora, of course, was the sort of girl who had plenty of bathing suits that were not in fact suitable to get wet.
Had his cane not been in his nearer hand, she would have swatted his shoulder. Instead, she angles him a playful look, aqua eyes bright. “"Have you ever met my father? Remi?" she asks, almost daring him. "Because he’s a total coffee snob. Didn’t do a lot right in the parenting department, but at least he taught me how to make coffee properly."
