☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Gideon realizes he doesn't know what day it is, so he thinks that perhaps Nysha should postpone these questions until the main Carneola returns. But who is he to tell her what to do? Back in the mountains, he felt responsible for her. Because of him, she stayed and didn't fly away with the rest of the team, ended up on the crashed ship, and spent several days in the wild rocks and forests. She's not like Beata or Erephir, who are used to everything. Gideon didn't doubt that Nysha wasn't as weak and helpless as she seemed, and she had enough tricks up her sleeve, but in the wild, many of them simply wouldn't work. That means he, as the stronger, more agile, attentive, enduring, and simply more trained member of the team, had to be responsible for her life and take the lead. Here... He has things to do at home, he'll quietly sit, help Astellia, maybe write down a couple more of the darkest and most depressing memories of his life. And Nysha...
- It's your decision, but I'd rather wait for our people to return, - he added, thinking, - we report directly to the princess, and Erephir is not a much worse leader than Ayko... Or maybe not worse at all. It's better to talk to her first about how we should proceed.
