i could be the reason you can't sleep at night
One might think with who Flora was that the sight of an ascended's teeth would have the mirth turning to cold slush in her belly. Instead, it was precisely the opposite. If it was a trope that teenagers liked the things their parents hated, at least Flora came by it honestly.
A more experienced Flora might have touched her lip and murmured something about not being able to feel anything while pouting suggestively up at Neron. This Flora though was hoping that at the very least, maybe the burn would give her lips some colour for the time being. "I'm Flora." She replies, raising her cup to her lips, tucking the chunk of ice into her cheek, and blowing onto it as Neron had. "I suppose I should have blown first, too." Which of course was an incredibly subtle innuendo, just in case you missed it.
Thinking she'd done quite well on that bit of banter, Flora straightens as some of her nerves and the adrenaline from having burned her entire mouth begin to subside. "Uhmm..." Twitching her lips (ow), she glances around with a skeptical stare before turning back to Neron. "I mean...okay look—" Pointing to a boy and girl nervously getting into one of the sleighs, Flora shakes her head. "Like, he clearly wants to put his arm around her from how he's fidgeting, and she clearly wants it too, but I bet they're just going to go around and around on the sleigh and have some long doe-eyed goodbye before everyone goes home and —" She was about to say touches themselves to the version of events they'd wanted, but the chunk of ice is suddenly sloshing towards the back of her throat, choking off her words and also just choking her in general.
