Whether I'm gonna curse you out or
Take you back to my house
Take you back to my house
Flora snickers under her breath, glancing sideways at him through a curtain of curls. "And is that working," she asks, lifting a brow as she wrings out her sponge again, "or do we need to teach the mud to read first?" The question drips with mock seriousness, but the corners of her mouth won’t stay still, tugging upward with mischief.
She hums as he talks about King’s End, the sound soft and agreeable under the steady slosh of water. "Gods, no kidding," she says, leaning closer to scrub at a stubborn patch that shivers darkly under her touch. "It's nice to be able to look at you again without it seeming like you have too many eyes and your face is melting." The teasing comes lightly, but there’s a quick glance over her shoulder that betrays genuine relief beneath it, one they likely both share.
When he mentions things being boring, her grin widens, bright and conspiratorial. "Boring, huh? Don’t tell me mom's busy with another one of her projects again." The wall gives a little beneath her next swipe, the mud thinning reluctantly. "Torchline was good, though," she adds, matter-of-fact and pleased. "No one drowned, and only a few fingers were lost to fireworks, so I’m calling that a win."
