[Raine hadn't known there were, though on some level she'd assumed there must be; Dirk didn't spring from a boulder fully-formed and crafting fine art.]
...but in other words, it would be best if the key crest wasn't noticed. However, there's no practical way to do that. Even explaining to Lloyd alone...
[Lloyd would have questions which would be impossible to answer given the other informational restrictions.]
Mm. Perhaps we 'found' it by chance? My own was scavenged, after all. Coincidence isn't the best attribution to rely on, but it's better than ascribing responsibility to any person who could not or should not have done it.
