As a result of this small job that the companions, led by Airlys, decided to undertake, only Pizhma benefited. The squad suffered significant losses, not to mention the senseless and tragic death of Tav. Father Milorada and their family lost two young, talented, and loyal soldiers. Milorada herself almost certainly blamed herself for the deaths that followed her naive desire to see her father. And if her conscience doesn't consume her, her parent's lectures certainly will, as they expressed their love for their daughter in a rather questionable way. Even the bandits who robbed her squad most likely lost some of their comrades. At least, if the Suitangi and the trio encountered by the group earlier were acting in common interests. For the koal, against the backdrop of the death of an old friend, the financial losses worried her less than her companions. After all, if Suitangi, like Raum, was responsible for an entire settlement, then her trinkets would at least feed a couple of hungry mouths. However, if the situation did not change, there was every chance that these hungry mouths would either choose the same dubious path as their parents or be deprived of any future by Orion squads. And all of this was hypothetical reasoning, not all of which was necessarily true. Let Airlys hope for the best, even in such a sad state of affairs. Upon returning to the city, she first went to the Temple of Avaritia, where she presented Tav's pistol on the altar as an offering. At first, she thought about keeping the weapon for herself, as a reminder of her friend, but in the end, the koal decided that he would always live in her memory anyway. And this way, she would at least pay tribute to him, according to his own life principles. In contrast to most other prayers that accompanied offerings to the goddess of success, Airlys did not pray for her own well-being. Although it was hard to deny that the favor of Avaritia would not hurt her squad right now. The girl prayed that Tav could spend his afterlife without worries. That all his dreams and aspirations, which he pursued throughout his life, would come true there. And that all his unfinished business on this earth would be successfully resolved, without causing him any further anxiety.
