Her grin tilts crooked as she remembers, aqua eyes glinting. "Somehow, though, he was always conveniently gone whenever we actually caught some." At his mention of being a fisherman, she tips her head, considering it. "I can see that," she muses. "You’ve got the patience for it. Sitting still, mapping out the best spots."
When their turn comes, she orders a latte with coconut syrup before moving aside to stand with him. A low hum slips past her lips as she tries to remember what being four had been like herself.

"So they could see what has become of you." Flora will understand, though, if he'd rather than subject himself to that, but still the offer stands.
With a laugh, she takes their drinks from the counter, handing his over with a flourish. "I heard you the first time," she teases, grin curving as she lifts her own cup. "But now that I know it isn’t your preference, obviously I’m obligated to make a huge fuss about it."
