Royal AU: Yellow Jessamine

Comfrey Tea

After the last visit to Jennifer, Flora had isolated herself from work even more. By then, more than a month had passed and she'd completely avoided anything related to the blue kingdom, except noticing that surprisingly some people from it had decided to move into her kingdom instead. Although her cough was persistent, it didn't worsen when she avoided thinking about Skylar and the situation. Recently, however, she had been wanting to meet him again since she missed him.
During the morning, she took Blake and rode through the forest to get to his castle and finally visit him again; when she arrived, she greeted the guards and was asked to be let in. Once she was allowed to, she hesitantly walked into the throne room composedly and looked around, unsure if the rulers were sitting there or elsewhere in the castle. "King Skylar?" She called him formally, her voice echoing a little

The prince had just exited his office, sighing quietly and closing the door behind himself. He was about to leave the castle for a bit before he heard the familiar voice through the hallways. Although he seemed quite tired he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards where he heard the voice come from "Mh?—" he seemed to be surprised by her sudden appearance in his castle, turning around to her yet hesitating to speak almost as if he was unsure whether it's her "...Flora?"

She turned towards him and stared for a moment as she fidget quietly with her sleeves as if she was nervous still, then began smiling slightly at him. She also seemed a little hesitant but she slowly began approaching him with calm steps until she sped up a little once she was close and simply went for a tight hug quickly, for once happy enough to see him be able to momentarily forget about Caroline.

He kept looking at her, watching what she was doing until he noticed her approaching and speeding up at a point until she went for a tight hug. The action had taken him off guard, glancing down at her for a moment and staring. At some point he decided to hug her back just as tight, smiling slightly to himself overly relieved

She exhaled softly at the nice feeling of seeing him again but she soon got paranoid again about Caroline, causing her smile to fade a little again as she slowly pulled away and glanced down, clearing her throat while trying not to cough in front of him. "I apologize for keeping you waiting. How have you been?" she asked quietly, hesitantly looking back up at him

He let go of her when she pulled back and smiled softly at her "No no, it's alright. I'm just so relieved to see you're alright" he mentioned, seeming as if he was quite worried about her over time "Let's say uh..it could go better but- I don't want to complain much" he shook his head to that "On the other hand, how have you been? Is everything alright?"

"Oh? Are you not doing alright, Skylar?" She asked, seeming a little surprised to hear that but then waving her hand at his question. "Everything, as usual, nothing interesting. Say, could I stop for a nice cup of tea?" She asked, smiling again at him

"I am, I'm just not in the best shape is all" he chuckled and nodded briefly at the question "Of course, I could never say no to that. The usual?" He asked as he started walking towards a different room, waiting for her to follow up

"The usual" she agreed and followed him calmly, tho she was a little worried about him now. Glancing around the castle she would notice more things matching more to him and Caroline rather than him a Jennifer, making her furrow her eyebrows a little.
In the hall they were walking on, suddenly Caroline came out of one of the rooms angrily, appearing mad at one of the maids for having messed up something more likely. "Unbelievable I say! Such a simple task, too!" She scoffed, turning around and seeing the prince "Skylar, you need to get more professional sta-" she immediately froze mid-sentence once her eyes had laid on Flora, looking fully surprised. When Flora brought her attention from Skylar to her, she also locked her eyes on the woman and simply stared at her.
