☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— Fortune-telling by the stars? — The shopkeeper frowned. — Sounds like occultism. — No, Beliana, dear, it's a respectable scientific field and a wonderful way to spend time. — Hmm. Well, let's say it is, and how does it work? — We use different types of telescopes to... — Tele-what? — Dear, the narrowness of your thinking sometimes simply frightens me. — The woman sighed heavily and put her palm to her forehead. — In matters related to our planet, you are undoubtedly one of the best experts in the world, but it seems that what lies beyond it is like a dark forest for you. How can I explain it to you in a way that fits within the framework of this short conversation... These devices are in a way like the glasses you wear. They collect and focus light radiation from celestial objects, which allows us to see them better. — Ah, those things. And then what? — Then we observe the movement and position of celestial bodies on the celestial sphere and relative to each other, after which we compare them with pre-derived patterns and templates, based on which we translate what we see into a format that is understandable to us. — Sounds like nonsense. — Heh-heh, I somehow guessed that you would say so. But it's more interesting than it seems at first glance. With the help of this science, you can learn fascinating stories about people-avalanches, cunning vampire hunters, narcissistic empresses, and much more. — And now it sounds like occultism again. But even if it's true, I still wouldn't want to do something like that. It's like someone is peeking at you while you're taking a bath. — Heh-heh, maybe. The dialogue between the two women came to an end, and the one who was not the owner of this store left.

— Welcome, Miss. Richard Goodville, a local psychiatrist, it would be my pleasure to meet you.
