I'd burn my house down just to hear them scream my name
Flora glares after Kai as he departs, because the pun is terrible enough to deserve public punishment, but the warm little flutter of affection that slips down the bond gives her away before she can properly commit to looking unimpressed. The canal inspection does turn up several sections that need work, including a few cracked edges and places where the sand has shifted enough to weaken the line. Luckily, some of the soldiers have water magic and will be able to hold the water back while others can use the remaining cement from the foundation work to patch and reinforce the damaged portions.
Flora nods along to Danta’s assessment with all the confidence of someone who has absolutely no experience moving giant fragile things but does appreciate when someone else sounds like they do. Kiada’s more specific suggestion earns an immediate point of Flora’s finger, her expression brightening as if that makes the whole thing feel significantly less like flirting with catastrophe. "Okay, the three of us then?" she says, glancing between them and the carefully packed glass panels before rolling her shoulders back. "I can lift, if you two want to guide and install?"
She looks toward the sea-facing wall, then back to the glass, and exhales through a smile that’s only slightly edged with nerves before getting into position to lift the glass while either Danta or Kia hold it in place.
Danta/Kia/Flora to fit the glass panel!
Kia to fix up the cracks!
