ISLA
Isla can absolutely imagine, given that she's probably got a few already - such is life when you don't feel the heat from the sun but it can still reach down and slap you. Still, she's appreciative of the shade to see Flora better, smiling after the server when they take the menus before returning her attention to the Doubletake. "The hostess going home with family, like a good girl? I can't decide whether you are or you aren't your father's daughter," she murmurs.
Still, she quietly disagrees, thank you - it absolutely could be worse, and Isla is about to prove it. With a soft grumble that suggests she's loathe to keep everything inside just as much as she doesn't want to say it out loud, the Remedy shakes her head. "I let my feelings get the better of me, that's all," she says. "I've known where things stood between Sunjata and I since day one, but with everyone making assumptions..."
Scrunching her nose and, when their drinks arrive, taking a generous sip of her own, Isla pinches at the bridge of her nose. "I asked him if things were more than they seemed, and was very much assured that they were not." I got friendzoned, in modern terms.
