Florence should do red honey. as a treat. she loves doing inadvisable things and if somebody offered her drugs she'd do it no hesitation, esp if she got to live through somebody's memories of the Surface

#it's the closest she'll ever come to feeling the warm sun on her skin. the real breeze. the shade of trees. the bright stars above her.#grass underfoot and cats that don't talk to her and she could travel as far as she could ever day of her life and never see it all #the Neath is suffocatingly claustrophobic sometimes #I think that like. Elliott ALSO struggles with how small the Neath feels (having LIVED on the Surface!) but it's different for him #he's a zailor. he can still travel to anywhere a ship can reach. take the train to the Hinterlands. go anywhere he's pleased to travel #but she doesn't leave London. it's all she's ever known and all she ever WILL know #and knowing that there is an entire world up there the scale of which she could never even hope to understand...#how could she be content in this fishbowl knowing the ocean exists?
