☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- How would I know? Geography isn't my strong suit, - she would shrug if she had the energy. - Maybe to some picturesque place, if I thought you were a sentimental person. Or maybe to another city, or somewhere where I won't be found. Not that there are many people who would be upset by my absence. It's ironic, isn't it? You give me a list of names, and none of them would even flinch if something bad happened to me, at most they'd sigh once. So, why should I care about them? If this city has created conditions where such a situation is possible, doesn't it deserve it? I don't have a good answer to that. ...aren't you afraid of harpies? They say they live around here.

- No, I'm not afraid. I've never met a competent person who would become their victim. - Sitting next to Ayano on the same couch, Lord puts his arm around her. - Let's assume for a moment that there was someone in this city who, for some reason, decided to take you captive. Can you imagine that? If that happened and I found out, I would rush to your aid without a moment's hesitation. Now, let's reverse the situation and make me the captive, and you the recipient of a note with my name. Would you bother to help me? I don't think so. Therefore, your question doesn't accurately reflect these people's attitude towards you. That old man even challenged me to a duel just to protect you from going on a date with me.
