your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand
Flora flashes her brother a grin, full of tooth and trouble before Kai’s voice—low and close and dipped in that gravelly warmth that never fails to undo her—sends a shiver cascading through her like someone just cracked sunlight over ice. She tilts her head toward him without hesitation, her aqua eyes gleaming as she leans in, lips barely parting as she whispers just for him, "One of the metaphors involves Apopo and the lava tunnels beneath Haulani."
The implication smoulders there between them as she lets it hang, her lashes fluttering once as she draws back with a perfectly timed eyebrow bounce that somehow manages to be both filthy and regal at once. With all the casual grace of a queen returning to the real work of ruling, she helps herself to a generous portion of jambalaya and a healthy stack of shrimp, clearly planning to take no prisoners; not with her plate, and not with the conversation.
Propping her elbow on the table, she rests her chin in her hand like she’s the very picture of idle curiosity, though the glint in her eye betrays her entirely. "Oh yeah," she says with mock-innocent interest, dragging the words just a little too slowly to be sincere as her gaze drifts toward Remi and Ronin. "And while you’re at it, remind me again how long you two had been dating before you got engaged?"
