i can't help it if i want to kiss you in the rain, so
Humidity clings instead of rain, the sky holding itself in a dull, swollen pause rather than splitting open over Torchline again, and Flora takes the temporary mercy without gratitude as she picks her way over the unstable slope of Apopo, boots testing each stretch of darkened ground before she commits her weight.
Her feather daggers rest steady against her hip as she turns slightly, gaze sliding toward Melita without slowing her careful pace. "Alright, Mel," she calls, voice bright but practical in the thick air, the kind of tone she uses when she’s already decided they’re succeeding and the details are just paperwork, "you’re the cannon expert here. Does volcanic rock work, or should we be focusing on metallic-y things?"
She nudges a loose fragment of blackened stone with the toe of her boot, watching it skitter down the slope and disappear into a hiss of steam below, then glances toward Kaisel with a crooked grin. The sleeves of her green rain jacket have been tugged back just enough to reveal the glittery copper band on her wrist. "Oh, hey, so since I saw you last,' she continues turning her attention back to Mel, the corner of her mouth curving as humidity slicks her skin and the air presses warm against her throat, "my dads had their twins. Boys, named Carlo and Calan."
