Swallowing hard, the Doubletake reaches out for the vial with fingers that grasp it reverently. “Thank you so much.” She whispers, finding this moment somehow quite anticlimactic. Surely that was only because of all the prep work which had gone into this moment. Now all there was to do was send Remi the letter and put the vial somewhere he’d reasonably think had been his idea.
”Oh, by the way?” Turning her eyes up to Safrin and trying not to gawk too openly at the goddess’ beauty (not that Flora thought she would mind at all), the girl clears her throat. “A few people have been asking about you. Non Torchers for the most part.” She pauses, her grin turning slightly catlike. “I told them all you were the best.” Not in so many words, but certainly that had been what she’d implied.
“Anyway. Thought you’d want to know. Thanks for this!” So saying, the Doubletake, now with butterflies in her stomach, flit away from the shrine to complete the last phase of this personal quest.
