with each love i cut loose i was never the same
Flora watches the necromancer with that same sharpened attention, though now it narrows into something more pointed, her eyes slipping just slightly as if she’s trying to catch the seam of the lie. "Mhmm," she hums at last, the sound low and skeptical, her head tipping once in a slow, unconvinced nod that just like the gif of her.
As he continues, offering context she hadn’t asked for but clearly needed, her expression shifts again, the incredulity softening into something more dramatic, more deliberately performed as she exhales a quiet sigh and rolls her eyes skyward, as though the entire situation has become just a little exhausting in its innocence. "Well," she says, drawing the word out as if it needs the space to stretch, her tone easing into something almost philosophical, though the glint in her eyes keeps it from ever becoming too serious, "it’s probably for the best, really." Her gaze drifts briefly back toward the water before cutting sideways to him again, a small, knowing smile tugging at her mouth as she tilts her head. "I’m sure as far as rebounds go Sunjata would make it good for everyone," she adds lightly, "but no one ever really wants to be a rebound, so.."
Shrugging her shoulders, Flora will fix Niki with a more genuine gaze, the teasing sparkle having fallen away somewhat, but not enough that the necromancer might not be able to brush off the uncomfortable topic. "Though, just saying, sometimes having your first time not be like...y'know, the be all and end all, is not a bad thing. It's fine to just...get it over with so you don't put it on such a pedestal, y'know?" Remembering it, certainly, seemed a low bar, then again, Flora doubted if Sunjata wasn't highly requested at the House of Midnight for taking virginities for precisely that reason.
