[se] you're just the only what-if

flora

A playful retort was just shaping Flora's lips into a shape which promised to both be witty and utterly filthy, when the girl's attention was suddenly pulled away by the sound of a name called out. Blinking, the Doubletake frowns at the general lazy hum of the shoppers around them as ifsilently demanding that they hush so that she might know whether or not her date was about to be ruined or not.

The name came again, not dawn, but instead Flora. With a huff which was far too disappointed to be anything but entirely sincere, the girl turned her large aqua eyes back to Iskra with a playful pout. "Duty calls." Standing up on her tiptoes and not thinking at all about the stain her lipstick would leave, Flora aims a kiss against one of Iskra's scruffy cheeks. A quick peck, and nothing more.

Whether she missed or connected wouldn't change the coquettish wink she trailed after the gesture, nor the way her eyes ghosted across his lips as if she might transplant the kiss there instead. "I'll find you again, Hiro!" She called before disappearing—quite literally as it happened—leaving just a candle and perhaps a bit of lipstick to remember her by.
