"That's a better way of putting it." Flora hums with warm agreement, quite liking the ring deception over just stealth. It felt well-rounded in her mind, whereas stealth seemed like the business of street urchins and those merely inclined to be shady. Not that the Doubletake had a problem with either persuit, more so that she simply wanted more for herself in that regard.
Blinking as Anju's thumb moves to brush her fingers, Flora pauses in her ministrations to glance up at the older woman. 'You do?' Given Anju's indomitable presence, the Doubletake wouldn't have thought anyone would ever make the mistake of underestimating her, unless of course purely on the basis of her sex.
Biting at the inside of her cheek, this flirtatious meaning having taken quite the turn, Flora opts to continue down its twisty pathway rather than forcing them back toward the straight and narrow. "During the war..instead of staying in the Haven where it would be safe, my twin and I decided to fight for Torchline. He only went because I did, and he..." Swallowing, her fingertips shaking slightly against Anju's palm even as her gaze remained steady, Flora tries for a smile. "He died. Sort of hard to believe in yourself when you get someone that close to you killed because of your choices." She says in a low voice.
As for having someone to train with? Exhaling in such a way that it causes her bangs to bounce across her forehead, Flora shrugs. "My other brother lives here, Mateo, but he isn't much of a fighter. I know a few of the dragoons, but.." Thinking of Koa, she crinkles her nose and shakes her head.
