Want to volume down by a variable number

Hi guys!
I feel such an amateur to ask the following, I just can't see the logical flows I need to create for what I am trying to accomplish.
What I want is the following:
Let's say me and the gf are watching a movie and we want to turn down volume. I want to say: Ok Homey, turn down volume. I want Homey then ask me by how much... If I say 5. I want to lower the volume by 5.
Is this even possible or do I need to make 10 flows stating like this:
Flow 1: Turn down volume by 1 - Volume down by 1
Flow 2: Turn down volume by 2 - Volume down by 2
etc....
I hope someone can help me out
Kind regards,
Dennis

the only things homey can ask back by default is a
yes or no question
or
asking for an exact password.
it is possible, but only if you made an app for it, since developers can add such a (specific) question to their app.
For Volume Down make 3 other flows and you have 6 flows all together for volume Up and Down
OR
delete the Omhoog card in flow No1 and only change Flow 2 and 3 than you only need 5 flows for Volume Up/Down :-)
This is how I managed to get it working:
The "Set a textual variable" in my first flow is for my autocorrect (Better Voice) function. Because sometimes when I say: "Volume omhoog met 3" (Volume up by 3 for non dutchies) it understands: "Volume omhoog met brie"... So I made an autocorrect word for brie wich will be replaced with 3.Since I don't want to keep turning on my volume when Homey understand the word "brie" I set the textual variable in Flow 2 to "null" so my Autocorrect function won't proceed since it looks for the variable: VolumeActie with the value "omhoog"
My Autocorrect function looks like this:
