Flora laughs brightly at that, the sound easy and immediate as she tips Niki a quick, conspiratorial wink. "Good," she says, as if he’s just made a very important and binding promise.
At his question, though, her grin widens again, and she lets out another soft laugh, shaking her head. "Oh my gods, he has dreams about people becoming ghosts so often," she says, rolling her eyes fondly. "Usually he talks a lot when there’s a new demigod, because it means new merch, which he collects, so he gets real excited about it."
She nudges his shoulder gently, nodding with unfettered approval. Much fun as she liked venturing North (soon to be East) to see Niki, it was refreshing to see him out and about in a way that didn't seem to cost him too much to do it. "Both of my brothers are living with me now, and some days it feels like we’re all just twelve again." She says with a laugh, before her gaze flicks briefly toward her mother, her expression easing into something quieter. "I’m not sure how long she’ll stay for, but...yeah, it’s nice having her around."
Her eyes shift again, this time toward Soh, and when she speaks next her voice dips just a fraction. "I don’t think she’ll stay much longer either."

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
You know that I caught it
