☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Not every item is meant for... working folks, - the priestess's gaze eloquently slid over the speaker's clearly non-working-class and expensive attire. - Certainly not luxury items. And not every working person has a natural need for such things to begin with. Honest labor can ennoble and fill a person's soul more than expensive, ornate possessions.

— It's required of me by my duty, — the "working man" winked at the priestess, understanding the meaning hidden behind her gaze, — I'd like to agree with your words, but alas — I cannot! For we live in a society, and no epithets can hide its social inequality, and whoever buys this painting will do so at the expense of those whose labor, however noble, he has stolen. By the way, — now the man was addressing the saleswoman, — since when do souvenir shops sell luxury items? I'd sooner expect to see something like this at a bourgeois auction, where it wouldn't hurt to toss a powerful bomb, or better yet, several at once. 

— Ha-ha, you're such a joker... It's a joke, right?..

— Um, I got it from a relative, and now I can't sell it, but it'd be a shame to let it go for less. I'd still like to hand it over to worthy hands. 
— You're mistaken, dear lady. To a rich man, your painting will be no more than a napkin, while a simple person would pray over such a masterpiece. So you're wrong about that.
— Uh, I see.
— Well then, unfortunately I must be going — world social justice won't achieve itself. All the best, ladies! 
He leaves.
