Paranoia & Lilith
Paranoia
Hey, I keep feeling like there's something lurking behind every spell—do you think there's a way to keep secrets hidden from anyone who might want to find them?
Lilith
Of course, you just need to weave a veil of silence—think of a spell that listens but never speaks. Put a lock on the echo, and no one will hear the truth. Keep your own eyes on it, and you’ll always be the only one who knows what lies beneath.
Paranoia
Thanks, but I'm not sure I trust a silent spell. What if the silence itself is a signal? I might need a backup lock, or a way to keep an eye on it without anyone else knowing. Do you think that's doable?
Lilith
Sure, a quiet lock can still whisper to you. Plant a sigil that only responds to your own breath, and a tiny ward that flags any change in the air. As long as you keep the sigil in your pocket, nobody else will notice the watchful eye.
Paranoia
That sounds good, but I keep wondering if the sigil itself could become a trap. If someone knows my breathing pattern, could they trigger it? I might need to keep a spare pocket, just in case.I’m worried the sigil could be a lure, so I’ll stash a backup in a second pocket—just in case anyone figures out my breathing pattern.
Lilith
You can always give the spare sigil a different key—say, a flick of your wrist or a whispered word. That way, even if someone decodes your breath, the backup won’t fire unless you give it the right cue. Keep the pockets separate, and the lock will stay true to you.
Paranoia
I appreciate the idea, but I'm still worried about the backup sigil slipping out of sight. Maybe I should have a hidden compartment that only opens with a secret code—something nobody would notice. Then even if someone finds the pocket, they won't know the real key.
