-- Okay. I was just nervous about the water. Thinking about it, we... We... Probably won't make it. Haha. Hahaha... And I was the only one of my kind, the Rat Queen, Miss Zorica. I had a real, rare crown of some monarch or duke, I don't know exactly," the gnome said, dragging Nora's body somewhere into the nearest suitable heated building, preferably one already filled with corpses for camouflage. "That's what they say, from royalty to rags. I wasn't cut out for mercenary work; I'm a merchant, and I value not fighting, but exclusively and only my assets. And people are such a valuable asset that I find the very idea of wasting them absurd... Okay, let's see, maybe here?
-- Look, while we have protection, it won't last long, but... Let's try to hide among the corpses," the girl smears herself with weapons to make it look like there's more blood, then heals herself with a gemstone, but the crust remains. In any case, Ayko tries to ensure the following:
- she's not wearing anything valuable. Absolutely nothing.
- she looks as much like a naturally burned corpse as possible...
- ideally, there's no real risk of catching a cold (by lying down in a relatively warm building).
- if necessary, she adds more corpses on top.
-- The plan is this," she explains. "These bloodthirsty creatures will be looking for three things: someone to kill, someone to rob, someone to rape. We all look worse than death with these burns, so they won't rape us. I don't leave anything behind, not even my boots... And there's no point in shooting at the dead. If they do, the corpses on top of us will protect us. After a while, their bloodlust may subside, and we'll be mistaken for civilians... True, I'm a gnome... But? A child who survived a fire. Yes. Maybe. If they don't look too closely.
-- You know, it's all because you big races are not ergonomic... Me... I'm no worse than any Carnelian, and you can see, I weigh almost nothing," she can no longer hold back the tears, although they had been welling up regularly before. "I... I could outdo anyone. Like this... And... You need to disguise yourselves like me. Somewhere nearby. Okay, Miss Zorica, can you manage? Miss Nora should too, I think, when she wakes up, I'll tell her.
-- Haha, we'll rise from the ashes... From the ashes... Haha. What have I become? I am Ayko Viresenser. The Rat Queen. It's me..
