karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Flora listens as the voices rise and settle around her, her gaze moving easily from one speaker to the next while the conversation gathers shape. Melita ’s enthusiasm draws the faintest curl of amusement at the corner of her mouth, the Honeybee’s hooting enthusiasm as predictable as the tide and just as welcome. Remi ’s voice lands softer but carries weight in a different way entirely, the question tucked inside it practical rather than challenging, while Isla and Lyra follow with the same quiet sort of caution that speaks less of doubt and more of care for the people who make their lives along the harbour.
"Okay," she says at last, when it seems there's no more to be said on the matter. "Docks it is." Her gaze shifts briefly toward the open view of the harbour beyond the columns, the faint glitter of water just visible in the distance before she looks back to the group. "And I agree about the placement. We don’t want them right in the middle of businesses or trying to shoot through the harbour." Her hands spread slightly, palms angled outward as if laying the harbour out between them. "So maybe right at the start of the port? Far enough out that they can target anything coming in before it reaches the docks themselves."
Pausing for a second, Flora's brows lift a touch as she circles back to Remi's question. "Who do we think should actually be able to fire the cannon? If anyone can do it, that definitely makes them more useful, but obviously opens us up to issues of people using them for their own personal gain or settling scores." One shoulder lifts in an easy shrug. "Whereas if it's just the council, that means right now it's only Ronin or I who can use them. I know we're both normally around, but if we ever aren't..."
