I'd burn my house down just to hear them scream my name
Flora glances up at the sound of Dantalion 's verdict, her aqua eyes flicking from the separated boards to the Maverick himself with an expression that manages to be both suspiciously amused and practically concerned. "Okay, wood expert," she calls, lifting her brows as her gold-ringed fingers tap against the edge of the crate in front of her, "do we need to replace them, do you think? Or do we have enough to cover it?"
Kiada ’s announcement has Flora groaning before she can stop herself. "Of course we are." Exhaling, she turns a pleading sort of smile toward Kiada, trying very hard to make it more charming than desperate. "Would you mind heading into town and checking Brass & Brine Hardware? They should have the rest of what we need."
With that delegated, Flora turns back to the furniture crates just in time to watch Kaisel go after them with the crowbar, and the grin that curls across her mouth is helplessly fond before she tucks it away behind a far more official-looking inspection of the packing straw. "Very dramatic," she murmurs, brows raised as if she’s scoring him privately and generously. "Ten out of ten."
She leans in to check the pieces he’s uncovered, brushing aside packing paper until weathered leather comes into view, rich and worn-looking in a way that makes her smile sharpen with satisfaction. "For the booths, I found this really weathered leather," she explains, smoothing her palm lightly over the material without letting herself linger too long on how nice it feels to see one part of the place already looking like it belongs. "I didn’t want everything to feel squeaky new, you know? This way, the second someone spills rum on it or drags a dagger across the seat, it won’t look like the bar’s been personally victimized."
After another quick look through the crates, Flora straightens and glances toward the soldiers, ponytail shifting over her shoulder as she hands the clipboard back to Kai. "Okay, since you’re more familiar with the soldiers, can you start having them get the foundation materials ready?"
Danta can decide whether the warped boards need replacing, can be salvaged for decorative or low-stress use, or should be set aside entirely.
Kiada to head into town to Brass & Brine hardware with the list of missing items!
Kai to start organizing the soldiers around the foundation materials
