NERON
show me how defenceless you really are
Before they know it they find themselves back among the bustle of festival-goers, of sleigh rides and hot cocoa and trinkets from stalls, and Neron straightens back up as if to preserve Flora's dignity - or to save her embarrassment. Who knows, truly? "Maybe you will. I'd not say no to a pretty face darkening the doorway," he purrs, offering her a shallow bow (noble) and a crooked wink (less so).
"The VlamVloed in the Hollowed Grounds," he says, as a reminder in case she should ever need it. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Flora. Until we meet next, don't do anything I wouldn't do." And without a kiss even to the hand, the Hailstorm takes his leave of the young woman. Alas.
Perhaps she can tell the story about how gallant he was at their wedding instead.
