The intercom sounded. She listened. How frank. Would that she could be happy for the honesty, but a denial of illusions was nothing refreshing when the one doing it was still every bit as horrible when pretending otherwise.

The door unlocking was as a starting gun, and while she disliked the thought of possibly moving to the beat Landel's drum, the fact that what she was going to do do something to help was a comfort. Switching her slippers for shoes, Flora then grabbed her flashlight from under her pillow, and then took the case. Orihime, rightfully, looked upset, and Flora wished there was more she could do for her, but they both had things to do, goals to accomplish. Maybe getting them done was what they really needed. Still, she should have been able to do something. She shook her head kindly. "Don't be sorry. Good luck to you all. Please, take care of yourself." There was a weight to the words, they meant more than just something said when seeing someone off. She wanted Orihime and everyone with her to stay safe and unharmed.

Flora smiled, brow furrowing in mock-apology as she did. "I wish I had some nail polish on me. Slumber parties aren't much without at least a little making over but we'll find some way to manage, I'm sure."

She clasped her hands in front of her, promising herself as much as she did the other girl. "Yes, we will. I look forward to it."

She stepped out not soon after, flashlight and pillow case in hand. Time to start her little trip.
