Whether I'm gonna curse you out or
Take you back to my house
Take you back to my house
The fact that Sunjata doesn’t tell her to move on or offer to help clean the room out—doesn’t treat it like something broken that needs fixing—means more than Flora can say. The breath she releases is shaky, but it carries something lighter with it, some quiet uncoiling of gratitude. She leans back into him again, letting her arms slip around his middle and squeeze, small but fierce. "Thanks," she murmurs against his chest, the word soft as seafoam before she straightens again, brushing the back of her hand across her eyes.
His laugh about the mud earns a grin that flashes quick and real, tugging her back toward warmth. "Oh my gods, yes," she says, seizing the idea like it’s salvation. With zero hesitation, she drops her sponge straight into the bucket with a dramatic splash, hands going to her hips as if declaring herself officially done.
"Dinner sounds great," she declares, all bright energy now, her voice carrying that familiar tilt of humour that always rushes in to fill the cracks. Spice chitters from her perch on the windowsill as if agreeing, tail flicking like punctuation, and Flora grins at the dragon before looking back at Sunjata as she gets to her feet, already imagining what she might have for dessert.

I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna get you back
