☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Garrett quickly reviews the terms.
"So, if you look at it, there are only advantages, even a steady salary is included. Yeah, the princess arranged all this so that her direct subordinates wouldn't be involved in any shady dealings."
— My name is Garrett. You can consider me a mercenary who is temporarily taking a break. I've been in similar organizations before. They weren't very successful, so I didn't stay for long. The fact that I'm standing here now should speak for itself. As for my skills... My specialty is reconnaissance, stealth attacks, and staying in the shadows. I know how to hit the target where it needs to be hit. And my bolts have a surprise, they really mess things up.
The former (?) rogue gave his interlocutor a crooked smile.
— Any more questions?

An assassin... A dangerous type who doesn't quite fit into the princess's wealthy retinue. But... the more dangerous, the more interesting. After all, such a guy definitely won't be useless. But what does Ayko think about this?

— Very impressive. I believe you are indeed a master of stealthy assassinations," Keliandra smirked, knowing that she was absolutely right about the stranger. — But remember one thing: we are not just a bunch of mercenaries, but a more... refined organization. Here, some kind of loyalty to the cause and to each other is valued. Can you guarantee that your bolt won't end up in me at the most inappropriate moment?

What Keliandra meant by this, everyone could understand in their own way. And where did she get such devotion to an organization in which she had only fainted once and slept once?
