As Kael's words settled, silence covered the hall.
For a while, it remained like that until Alenia spoke, deciding to break it.
"And how," she asked, folding her arms, "do you plan to go on with this system, exactly?"
She was curious, as there were many ways one could go with this.
Kael, however, blinked once. Then, with a lazy tilt of his head, he replied, "I want you to handle that."
"…Me?"
"Yes." He leaned back, the faintest smirk curling at his lips. "You seem like the type who enjoys thinking things through. I want you to create a working system—something that keeps everyone busy and useful."
Alenia's brow twitched. "You do realize that making such a system is far harder than talking about it, right?"
Kael's smirk deepened. "That's exactly why I'm giving it to you. I want to see what you're capable of."
The others exchanged glances.
Lyra was smiling behind her hand, Evethra's lips twitched faintly, and even Selene hid a small chuckle.
