"Until then, do you think we should keep harvesting resources? Or we could always focus on some improvements for the city." Training soldiers had similarly seemed ineffective to Flora's mind for the same reasons that their region's weapon was, but perhaps that had more to do with her lack of experience leading soldiers.
"I'm working on something like that right now, actually." Flora chimes, her eyebrows raising. "So that my mind can't be read." No, her request had nothing at all to do with Vox or the Family, but now that Hadama had laid out the connection, the queen was happy to take it and run. "Obviously it won't start out terribly strong, but the requirements aren't too hard if others want to do it as well."
Then as the queen mentioned the first bit of gossip in quite some time that was about her, she watched as her co-ruler sunk silently beneath the water. Twisting herself into a standing position so that he'd see her with her arms crossed and a furrow across her brow so deep it was pressing her eyebrows down into a scowl, the queen huffed as he surfaced. "That was weird and rude." She muttered, before giving her head a shake. "Yes, but probably not for the reasons you think." Presumably Hadama had thought Flora was worried for Jack's safety when it infact the conversation had been entirely transactional. "When I asked if he'd keep an eye on the caches of healing items that we planned to put around the city, he asked for one aboard the Ark as payment." That had also been before they were dating, but Flora doubted if their relationship would have changed the outcome if she'd asked it of him now.

The rumors are terrible and cruel
But honey, most of them are true
