It's a bit like when you put a blanket over a bird's cage, or that thing you can do with chickens when you put their beaks on a line in the sand and they just...stop. So unused to be touched by anyone save for her twin, Jacks' fingers might as well have had magic in them (and boy do they ever) for the effect they have on Flora.
"Ha...ha. Yeah." Flora hums to herself as her fingers comb through her hair where Jack's had mussed it up. It's the final bit of the Captain's speech that has the girl properly returning back to herself. Exhaling sharply and letting her arms flop to her sides, Flora laughs with nervous energy. "No kidding. I bet I could get you one of Ronin's feathers far easier than Remi's in all honesty." She murmurs, reaching for one of the cupcakes and blowing gently on it.
