Lafrenia

To avoid wasting time, I'll do everything this way. Through Fragmenta, I'll buy "Agapé" (-82 hit points) and teach "Comrade" the "Magic Attacks (paralysis)" skill. Then, Tav will give Airlys 100 hit points. While Coriel was pondering the questions and telling the others about the work at "Sails," Airlys decided to visit her old acquaintance who lived in Medivi. Although not entirely out of a desire to see him, as she didn't have time for that right now. The reason Airlys decided to visit her acquaintance now was much more prosaic: he had once borrowed money from her, and her group now needed it more than ever. Finding the right house, the swordswoman knocked on the door, and it soon opened for her. However, upon entering, instead of a welcoming host, she felt something cold against her temple. Something that looked very much like a gun. "Calm down, Tav, it's me," Airlys sighed tiredly, glancing to the side. "Besides, you're holding it wrong. Even I can tell that." "Thank the Seven," the elf exhaled wearily, then lowered his weapon. "You scared me!" "Did you get into some kind of trouble?" "Well, how should I put it..." the lily-born man said, inviting Airlys to follow him. "...yes, I guess I did. Some people asked for my advice. I gave it to them. They overestimated my skills and failed. And now, here I am. While some sleep with their beloved wives, I sleep with..." the elf playfully patted the barrel of his gun, "...this beauty. But unlike a wife, she's cold and doesn't respond to my affection. What brings you here?" "As if I couldn't just come and visit an old friend," Airlys laughed. "You're being silly! However, I came hoping that you could finally return that old debt." "So, that's it. You thought it was just a visit from an old friend, but in reality..." the lily-born man sighed and looked pointedly at his gun, "...even colder than you. What is the world coming to, huh?" The elf smiled slightly, raising his head. "Just kidding. You've given me plenty of time. I'm not the type to demand debts. What's the matter?" "It's a long story, but in short..." Airlys recounted, albeit in a shortened version, the recent events of her life. Although Tav had a tendency to get into all sorts of trouble, and he was somewhat of a rogue, he was also a loyal and reliable friend. "I can't return my full debt to you right now. I simply don't have enough money. But I think we can help each other," the elf concluded after listening to his friend's story. "I could join you. If your words are true, the composition of your squad will deter my ill-wishers. Besides, I might even make new connections," the lily-born man added dreamily, "or even gain favor with Her Highness." "Are you sure? This is a very risky business." "Ha," Tav waved his hand. "Everything is risky in Medivi. Nothing new."
