"Puurrrrrrrfect. Everyone will want to be half-naked during LongHeat anyways given how hot it is." And that always made flirting so much easier (and also harder, wink wonk). Crinkling her nose, Flora pulls a face at her sibling. "Ewwwww David Mateo." She complains through a smile.
For a brief moment, there's a flicker of pure reasonableness on Flora's face. It makes her look older and sad as her shoulders rise up toward her ears only to drop hastily back. "I know. Maybe one day I'll get rid of the chip on my shoulder, and do something about it, but if I'm being honest?" Which apparently she was. "It's sort of easier this way. I haven't spoken to my mother in months, and dad just...well, I don't even know. It doesn't have to be the way it is, but for right now I think everyone is content to just...sort of complain about it."
As for Mateo's clothes? Looking her brother up and down, Flora finds her lips twisting with horror and fascination, not least of all because he's managed to make the ugly scarf she'd gotten him look so damn good. "Okay fine, I suppose you've got me there." She concedes at last.
