Flora snickers at that. "Well, I’ve got more parents than most," she points out lightly, "and I could channel any one of them right here and now if you’d like." One of which being Sunjata, but she opts not to call him out specifically.
At Niki's suggestion, her brows lift in immediate agreement. "Oh, I will," she says with a grin, already nodding, "and I’ll be sure to tell Kai it was your idea." The potential threat of it hangs there, bright with mischief, before it’s cut short by the sudden, decisive tap of his cane, and this time it lands.
Flora lets out an exaggerated, pained groan—"OWWUH"—the sound loud and theatrical as her other foot drops instantly to the ground so she can lift the offended one, as she waggles her toes dramatically in his direction. "What kind of monster goes after a girl’s pedicure?" she demands, scandal thick in her voice.
She tuts at him, lowering her foot again, abandoning the balance game as she flashes him a grin that’s all lingering amusement as she paws a few wisps of hair away from her face. "If you’re quite done maiming me," she adds, as if this whole thing hadn't been her idea, "could I interest you in an iced coffee?"
