☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- That's the thing, we're spoiled for choice... We almost want everything. We had to think more practically.
- Metal suits us both. We are primarily warriors, down-to-earth people without magic or any other tricks.

-- Metal is reliable, I approve. Although, your notes say "matter," but I somehow get a feeling like it's metal, the best thing.

- The problem is that this cat is special. As Guiyosha said, he could be a good defender. But the problem is that it will take some effort to direct him where he needs to go. And with school, we'll be so exhausted that we won't be able to do anything.

-- Whatever you want. If it's too much, give it to whoever has the most strength.

- No one is going to fight them! Oh, come on. But we shouldn't completely forget about these guys either. We won't go looking for trouble, of course, but it won't hurt to be cautious and keep an eye out. A constant patrol is too much, it's an option if the situation escalates.

-- No, it's not too much, I've spent half my life like this, it's just that in the city, they'll look at us like we're weirdos. Or maybe they won't, considering that there's a guard, an army, knights, and everyone lives like this. No, you know what, the more I think about it... Even if not from bandits, we need to protect ourselves from arsonists, there's no point in hoping it won't happen, that's just stupid. Let's put buckets of water around and patrol in pairs, we probably won't be able to detect an invisible person that easily, of course, but if something happens, we'll have time to put it out, and we'll also see an open window if a thief climbs in. At the same time, we'll test the laws of wartime: we might have to use them in practice someday. So get ready.

- Well... There's one thing. I don't know, I think Guiyon should tell it himself.
- Yes... I'm ready to tell, if Beata is ready, and it concerns her too.
- I'm ready.
- We can do it now or later, as you wish. If you want to know, of course. It's not something that will affect our effectiveness.

-- Well, tell me, -- the redhead said, not objecting, wavering between curiosity and the desire not to interfere in what didn't concern her, and ultimately choosing the former, with a slight advantage.

- Oh, come on! It's all that stupid painting!!! I'm just glad Guiyosha ran to Evgeny, and not to the church.

-- No one is blaming you, but if an old-fashioned priest found out about it, he wouldn't spare anyone and would complain to the authorities.

- Great! Evgeny is a great guy, we vouch for him!
- Yes... And a little more about our plans for tomorrow. We'll receive gifts, maybe discuss something else, but we want to spend the whole day in the archive. There's a lot of interesting stuff there, we want to read. And spend all our gold on books from the archive, if Reven will allow it.
- Uh-huh. And starting the day after tomorrow, we'll start studying and spend the rest of the time walking around the city, helping someone, I heard that Alexandra needs a designer, and Linetta has returned, we need to gather news for her and share it, maybe we'll do something else.

-- Okay. I'll look for something of my own, maybe something related to forging, or writing, but later. It's worth earning some money.

-- Now, a piece of news from me, in Ornament they offered us to improve the flag so that Her Highness would be even more favorably disposed towards us for taking our symbolism seriously and rewarding us with gifts. I'm not sure if it's worth it, but if you want, we need to collect 214 resources from each of us and go pick up the order today. Do you want to?
