☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Garrett shook his head. Ayko spoke very reasonably and convincingly, like an adult, but it contradicted what he saw with his own eyes.
— That's not what I meant... You're certainly smart for your age and you're doing a great job, but... a little girl leading a combat squad? Is this some kind of joke? And if you really are a leader, then... how? Do you have any supernatural abilities? I told you about myself, but what can you do besides recruiting?

— Garrett, you're an experienced soldier, you should know: she's not human. Just like me, actually. Gifted children are interesting, but Ayko gained her skills through experience, — Kelian dra appears very suddenly from the adjacent corridor. — Our leader is a worthy person, managing to solve all issues and, I believe, she is no worse in battle. Everything around exists thanks to her enthusiasm and the princess's support. 

Kelian dra smirked. Did Garrett mistake Ayko for a child? Seriously?
