☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Biba and Boba arrive at Grace

All the books cost 200 gems each.

Beata's eye twitched at the cover of the book about Rinze.

The couple quietly talks to each other.
- What should we buy him? Maybe a textbook?
- A textbook? I think that's a bit degrading. It's pretty obvious that he already knows all this perfectly well. Both medicine and especially trade.
- You're right. Maybe we should give him a book about XXX?
- Are you crazy?
- It's from Bronya. It will be suggestive...
- Stop matchmaking! Maybe we should give him a book about demography?
- Not bad, but I don't know, it's boring... I was thinking, since he handled that Rinze, may he be interested in other celestials? And Sophia... What I heard about her, she is the patron of love!
- I think you're too inspired by the upcoming wedding, - Gion couldn't help but facepalm. - maybe a book about the High Prince? I wonder how he feels about her?
- I don't know how he feels, but Aiko said that we shouldn't talk too much about our friendship with him, at the High Prince's request. I think Sophia is a good idea. Or even Rinze.
- Definitely not Rinze, he said he's already read a lot about her. Maybe something new to broaden his horizons. I also think demography is interesting. As far as I remember, I was even advised to read it.
- Listen, why don't we buy two books, and let Bronya choose? Or give them both!
- Sounds like a good idea. By the way, I also saw some strange treasures with our new boss, and she was complaining that she didn't know what to do with them, I overheard... Maybe we can hint at that option?
- Well, we need to talk to the boss! What if they are precious to her as a memory!
- We will definitely talk. But first, let's figure out the books. What, shall we take a couple to choose from? And a trade textbook? It will be useful, especially without Aiko...
- You go, because she's looking at me not very friendly... Damn, a month has passed, they could have already forgotten that I was a star in the criminal chronicles, I'm a completely different person now!

Gion turns to Belyane.
- Hello! Judging by the inscription on the spine, "Demography of Welferen" is your exclusive? Sounds very interesting! Please give me it, the trade textbook, and the book about Sophia...
Beata looked at him pointedly, then at the book about Rinze.
- Oh yes, - Gion added, - a silly question, but the books about celestials... I heard a story about how a cursed painting of a celestial enslaved human minds, and eventually drove an entire city mad, and everyone died because they spent all day looking at this painting. It sounds stupid, but... I hope the books don't have that effect?😅
- Yeah, and he says after that that it's me who makes him look like an idiot, - Beata sighed in the background.
