Alma makes an indignant noise at Flint discrediting her.  "How dare you?! I'm sure if I studied it in my lab I could find some vulnerability in it.  It's a much better plan than... smashing it into dust," she frowns and puts a hand on her hip.  She helped save his life and yet he still insults her so.  "However, we need to be prepared for the possibility that it cannot be destroyed at all.  In that case, we would need to find a proper way of containing it and keeping it out of the hands of unsavory characters," she adds and sits on the edge of the table.  Looking to the stone and back to Flint, she realizes he could technically be described as an unsavory character as well.  While he was a dishonest thief, in an odd way he did seem to have good intentions though.  "Come with me back to the estate and we can experiment on it, and I can restock potions and materials," she suggests.
