☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- Nothing critical, but it turned out that touching the stone wasn't entirely safe either (although we didn't have a choice, otherwise we wouldn't have done it, *sigh*)... And, as for the madman's notes, it's best not to read them for your own mental health.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of such events; I don't feel comfortable in them, - she looks at the gnome, trying to determine if she is being sincere or just being polite. - ...but, if you're serious, I'll make an exception for you. Indeed, we have all been through a life-or-death situation, and this would help us put it behind us. Besides, I'll feel better knowing with my own eyes that there are no casualties. Thank you for the invitation, Aiko-tan.
