Well, well, well.
In a backless sundress the colour of a sunset, the Doubletake breezed through the gathering. She no longer felt like she was missing half of herself, but had instead grown into the spaces her twin had once occupied. When last she saw him in the company of Mort she'd promised Enzo that she'd live a life worthy of the both of them, and by gods she planned on doing just that.
With a glass of whiskey in one hand and her aqua gaze set on Hadama as he called for their attention, Flora glanced around at the crowd wondering who else might make a bid for leadership. Should she wait for her opponent(s) to step up, and then dismantle their arguments? Or should she swoop in and make a grab for the crown that no one else could possibly match?
Choices, choices; weren't politics fun?
Opting to go first -- it's what she thought Enzo would do -- Flora stepped forward. Sashaying toward the channel and offering Hadama a wink, the Doubletake placed one foot in the water and the other on sand. (See? Politics.) "Hey." She called out with all the charming informality ofAlexis Rose someone not daunted by public speaking. "I'll keep this short and sweet." Flora purred, her eyes sweeping those assembled, offering a few winks here and there.
"I think it should be me, and here's why.
One, we all know who my family is and instead of pretending like that doesn't matter, we all know obviously it does. At the drop of a hat I can have two demigods here to defend Torchline, one of which is Safrin's chosen. Not to mention my mother, who is well-loved in Halo securing any relationships we might need there, same with my brother Mateo in Stormbreak." Was that necessarily true? Shh, truth doesn't matter in campaign promises.
"Two, I've lived here my whole adult life. I fought for us during the war, and had I not, I wouldn't be standing up here alone today." No, had she gone to hide away, Enzo would be at her side.
"And finally, we all know that leadership is Very Important and Serious--" Here she frowns emphatically and her words grow stiff. "But, we need someone who can balance out Hadama. No offence babe," Turning to the merking, Flora winks adoringly at him. "-but you can be a bit uptight, and we already know we work well together."
Oh, and just one last little thing...
Trying to spy Melita in the group, Flora beams in the Honeybee's direction. "AlsoMelitaShouldLeadToo, okay bye!"
Flora nominates herselfand also Melita.
