it is the scent of garlic that lingers on my chocolate fingers

One thing Flora always keeps handy is her recollection of everyone's favorite foods. Of course, even though Jin's preference is for seafood, he's bound to have varied experience with less...clean, refined flavors.

Like garlic, which Flora happens to love (and use plenty of, in savory dishes), swooning for alliums without fail - pickled onions? Couldn't have picked better.

When the dishes are done, and she's donated the Paragon a kiss on his cold-planed cheek as thanks, he wrinkles his nose.

"What's that smell?"

"Nothing you haven't sniffed before, I'm sure," Flora replies innocently.

Jin's look is long-suffering, but he nods.
