-Oh, so the plate armor plus bow style is popular here, huh?

— As you can see, — the archer confirmed, — may fortune favor the most worthy among us.

-It is an honor for me to compete in the same tournament as you...

— Ho-ho, young one! You stand between me and the Elheim bunnies, so don't expect any mercy!

-H-h-hello, my name is Anders...

— Well, hello, Anders. —He winks at him. — I hope you won't attack such a fragile girl like me...

-Oh, it's nice to see a fellow crossbowman among the archers. I suggest we show some crossbow solidarity, if you know what I mean - Anders winked.

— Ke-ke-ke, of course, friend.

Ilva was glad to distract herself from the unpleasant thoughts of the past few days and enjoy the beauty of the greenhouse. After the noisy city, there was something vaguely familiar about this place. Perhaps her childhood spent in Baldur was affecting her in this way.
—How beautiful! I wish I could create something similar at our home... —unintentionally voicing her thoughts aloud, Ilva noticed a girl working nearby who might have taken the comment as directed at her. So, to avoid creating unnecessary awkwardness, she continued: —Oh, hello! Sorry if I distracted you from your work...

— Hello... And don't worry, the mistress warned that guests might arrive today. I don't quite understand why, but she insisted that I take a day off, but... I don't want to leave the plants unattended. Can you help me? Otherwise, I don't know what to do.

-Thank you again for your openness, Your Grace, this conversation has been extremely informative for me, and I would even say that it has more than satisfied my curiosity. I cannot say that I have any further questions on this topic.

— Well, then let's resolve two more issues, and you can leave. First, my friend told me that his student complained that he was recruiting students too "opportunistically" and thus ignored those who might be interested in the knowledge of the school of eight elements, so I thought about it and came to the conclusion that it would be fair if I offered training as an alternative reward for the successful completion of the task entrusted to you by Hecate - at least to rub his nose in it. — So, those who are interested should save their event point for the third week. — And second... —He takes a photograph of Imelda behind bars from the drawer of his desk and places it on the table in front of Calentia. — Is she with you?
