"A river?" It's a ridiculous thing to say, which is precisely why Flora nods so immediately in understanding. Probably she and Koa could yes-and themselves right into oblivion, but it hadn't gotten them into too much trouble yet, had it? "Rivers can be so tricky." She agrees. "I grew up right by one." Thus making her an expert, and rendering her nod of approval all the more justified. "Well, you really should see Mateo." Flora says, not wanting to sound too concerned for fear that her worry might across a bit too mom-like (and whatever fetishes Koa might have had, that wasn't one the girl was really up for exploring).
Trying not to think absurd thoughts like how perfectly tall Koa was compared to her, or how good he managed to smell despite the fact it also smelled like he hadn't showered yet today—and gods what if she could suggest they do that instead of lunch? it could also be her treat—the Doubletake had to blink herself back into the moment.
Just in time to hear him agree, conveniently enough. "Perfect. I've just heard about a new place I've been dying to try. And we can pick up some stuff for LongNight along the way." Though Flora falls in stride next to Koa, it's only because she's actively matching the length of his strides so that they don't bounce out of sync. It's one of those subtle things she hopes makes her unconsciously more appealing, and if nothing else, it makes it easier to keep herself pressed neatly at his side.
"I guess you'll be working LongNight, huh?"
