☀️ Arselia and Akonia

After a while, Christoph brought Beate and her companion a plate of hearty borscht each.

The couple thanked the waiter and began to eat with their spoons.
“I was thinking…” Beate, with her mouth full, started sketching something on a napkin.
“Oh gods, she’s thinking, everyone run for your lives,” Guyon sighed.
The adventuress shook her spoon at her companion and continued to sketch.
“Check this out!” she shoved the scribbled napkin under her companion’s nose.



“Gods, WHAT is that?!” he almost choked.
“Well, until they pass a law on modest clothing, I want to have some fun while I can! Have you seen any ateliers around here?”
“No, and even if I had, I wouldn’t tell you! How did you even come up with that?!”
“Well, I’ve spent a lot of time in the lands of the dark lunari… you know that.”
“Yes, thanks for reminding me! But do dark lunari have cat ears?!”
“No. It’s just a headband to make it look cuter. Everyone loves kittens!”
“And does the fabric of this… bodysuit have to be transparent?”
“Yes! Everyone should see my otherworldly beauty!”
“That’s why you don’t think like a normal person… Seriously, is that some kind of armor bikini? Have you ever worn armor? Do you have any idea how it can chafe?”
“Well, if you line it with good leather on the inside…”
“…forget it. And what about orthopedic shoes with stilettos! Have you thought about how you’ll walk in them?”
“Pfft, I’m a circus performer. You forgot?”
“You’ll forget soon enough… I have a daily circus with clowns with you.”
“You’re just jealous. You couldn’t come up with anything.”
“I can!” Guyon snatched the napkin and pencil and started sketching. Beate shrugged and went back to her cooling borscht.
After a while, he solemnly handed her the napkin, which he had drawn on the back.
“Here!”



“Pfft, ha-ha, what is this?”
“What? I think it’s quite cute. A very pretty outfit.”
“And how am I supposed to jump on roofs and climb over fences in that? I’ll get tangled up after three steps!”
“You won’t get tangled, I checked…”
“You complained that you got tangled.”
“Well, not that much! See! I think you’ll look very cute in it!”
“Especially with that neckline, right?” Beate said sarcastically, pointing to a part of the drawing.
“My hand slipped, okay?!” Guyon blushed and tried to draw a more modest blouse under the laughter of his companion.
After a hearty lunch, the couple paid and went to “Chronos” (I don’t remember if anyone was there)
