karma's a relaxing thought, aren't you envious that for you it's not?
Flora listens as the suggestions gather and braid together, her gaze moving easily between Lyra, Isla, and Melita while each offers their own solution to the question she’s just thrown into the air. One of her rings spins slowly beneath her thumb as she considers it all, the gesture absent-minded but familiar, the way someone might trace the edge of a coin while thinking through a gamble.
Lyra’s idea earns an approving tilt of her chin, thoughtful rather than dismissive. "Keys could work," she says, though the faint wrinkle at the bridge of her nose suggests she’s already spotted the trouble lurking behind the elegance of it. "But yeah like you said, they could be lost or stolen." Her gaze flicks briefly toward Melita as the Honeybee offers the password variation. "And passwords get told," she adds, spreading her hands in a small, helpless gesture. "Or overheard. Or passed along after someone’s had one too many drinks and decides they trust the wrong person, or even just someone trying to be helpful."
Her fingers tap lightly against her chin now, thoughtful, the breeze lifting another stray curl as she tilts her head. "I think Isla might be onto something. If the cannons require a certain number of Torchers to activate them, it means we’re not relying on Ronin or me being physically present, but it also makes it a lot harder for someone to just wander over and start firing for fun." Her gaze drifts across the gathered group again, weighing the shape of the idea as it forms. "So...how many, do we think?"
She lifts a brow slightly, the corner of her mouth tilting as she thinks it through out loud. "Two? Three?" Her shoulders rise in a small shrug. "Obviously the more people it takes, the less it can be abused. But if something is actually attacking uslike during a KQ it might be hard to peel three or four people away from whatever’s going on just to fire a cannon."
Last round!
Lets do x number of Torchers to fire the cannon! But how many should it be?
