Meeting Hadama on the coast was the most neutral place that the Doubletake could think of for this meeting. If manta crystals would let her speak underwater instead of just breathe, she'd have taken the bubble stream right down into the mercity, but alas, Flora didn't feel like having this conversation via a game of charades.
Was a week enough time for Hadama to do his thinking? Flora honestly didn't know, and while impatience was perhaps not the best quality in a leader, the longer the Doubletake let things stew in her mind, the more attractive a coup seemed to be. So really, it was in everyone's best interests that they just hammer things out before it got really messy.
Speaking of, despite the warm weather, Flora was wearing a long-sleeved shirt in order to cover the bandage on her arm. The stupid bite still hadn't healed despite her bathing in the healing fountain, and she really hated to look at the dark rosettes of blood that kept blooming through the white cloth. Tugging at her sleeve, Flora looked across the waters, her lip curling slightly at the unseasonably high waves churning and frothing farther out toward the horizon line.
