She merely hums in acknowledgement in reply to Kamui’s comment, her head nodding in agreement. Though shorter hair was easier to take care of, Flora appreciated the length of the royal’s hair as well. If her liege so desired it, Flora would be able to do much more with how long her hair was now ( in their youth, the quantity was greatly limited ).
She was at peace, standing behind the princess and running a brush through her hair. Being alone in her quarters like this, it was almost as though they had returned to the Northern Fortress, locked away from the outside world and away from the terrible conflicts. The desire to return bubbled within her chest merely thinking of it, and with the inquiry, she wonders if her master had lingered upon such thoughts as well.
❝ I have, ❞ she replies with a reassuring smile, the brushing ceasing momentarily. “Before I was… I was overcome by stress but now, I feel calmer. Perhaps it’s from being within your presence again, milady. It feels… Natural like this.”
The princess's cheeks became flushed at her maid's comment. Natural... She was right, something about this moment felt so natural. Maybe it was meant to be like this, just the two of them at peace. Kamui could feel her face getting redder by the second as she let her mind wander. She shouldn't think such things. Flora was just her maid, surely she was just being kind to her. Still, hearing her say such things made Kamui so happy.
" I get what you mean… I feel so calm when you're around, Flora. I'm… I'm glad to have you around. "
