[ Sparkling Water ] - Fresh spring water that has been magically carbonated. Served with a squeeze of lime or a dash of one of the many fruit syrups available at the bartender’s disposal.
So Princess Camilla was not lying to her...not that she'd have a reason to. Flora catches herself wanting to turn around and hide in the garden's bushes once more. But this is Elise, the kindest soul of the four nobles. It has always been somewhat fun to serve her...even if the fun was never truly genuine.
"Please help yourself to this fresh water. There's sides of fruit syrups to try as well," Flora holds forward a small platter of the sparkling water glass alongisde small cups of rainbow-colored syrups.
"Also...take one of my pearls for brooch exchange. Your own exchange...is not necessary if not desired," Flora places a pearl from her string in front of the beverage.
Elise gasps, very clearly surprised by the appearance of her sibling’s old retainer. “Flora! You’re here too?!” Though she’s less surprised to see her offering out a tray to her, and more surprised by the fact she’s here at all. The tray things pretty expected honestly. “It’s SO good to see you! It’s been forever!” She can’t even remember the last time she saw her. Was it that time with the Ice Tribe thing…?
…Did she ever apologize to her directly for that? It was kinda her fault they started fighting since she brought it up, even if it was an accident…
…Eh, she probably did if Flora’s not bringing it up. That seems like a thing that would be mentioned if she didn’t. She especially doesn’t think she would be offering her stuff if she never apologized, anyway.
“Of course I desire! Here, take mine too.” She quickly reaches for her own brooch, the little bell jingling in her hand as she removes it to swap places with the one on the tray. “You did so much for Corrin, this is the least I can give you as thanks, right?”
She smiles up at the familiar face for a moment before reaching towards the glass, but something stops her before she grabs it. Has Flora had one? No, probably not. That doesn’t seem fair. This is a ball! A party! She should be having fun too! It’s not fair if she’s not.
But she’s met Flora. She’s met all of the people who were assigned to her sibling at one point or another. If she offered something to them normally they’d probably just refuse it. Something about ‘professionalism’ or whatever.
…Best way to go about it is probably to make it seem like agreeing would be for her benefit, not Flora’s. Like a favor. Yeah. Then she’d be having fun, but still technically be doing her job! The perfect crime.
“Hm… I don’t really wanna be the only one having one. That feels awkward, you know? You should have one, too!”
