☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- When crafting weapons, the blacksmith or their client may convince themselves and others that they are doing so to protect lives or for some other noble purpose, but the fundamental essence will not change because of eloquent epithets. Stripped bare, anyone will see that the primary function of a weapon is to maim and kill. You, being a similar entity, pose the same threat, especially without a master and left to your own devices. Your hypothetical question is easily refuted by the reverse assumption: what if, in the situation you described, you are the one who causes this person's death? Considering the amount of chaos and suffering that celestial beings and those like them have brought into this world, this scenario seems more likely to me than yours. And therefore...
- "Scenario?" - Releasing the hilt of the dagger, Lord firmly, but not painfully, took Aiyano's hand, which had been restraining him. - What nonsense... There's no need to "assume" or invent anything when there is real life and facts based on events that have already happened. You clerics all preach about protecting this world, about how you care about the fate of the children of Anuzish, so listen to her son! Aiyano's appearance on this earth is the brightest event in my life. She showed me how beautiful even the most ordinary moments in life can be. Thanks to her, I learned that there are wonderful things that cannot be obtained by force, and yet I still want to strive for them with all my soul. Her sad gaze, which sometimes flashes across her face, leaves a gaping hole in my chest - I want to make her happy, but I don't know how. And yet, I know that she, more than anyone else, condemns what you, people of the church, call immoral, fights against evil, and defends all that is good, as she surely did in her own world, and now here as well. The whole world may turn against her, but I will always be on her side. Yes, this is definitely because I love Aiyano to the depths of my black soul, I love her so much that I don't know what to do with it! But it's not just me; ask anyone who knows her, and you will only hear good things. Just walk around this city, and if that's not enough, fly to the capital of the empire.
After thinking for a moment, Bruno puts away his rapier.
- Alright, let's say you two have convinced me. I am willing to tolerate your presence in these sacred halls, so be it, but you, - he addresses Aiyano, unwilling to call her by name, - will have to remind me of the purpose of your visit, otherwise, during these emotional exchanges, I have already forgotten about them.
