☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— An organization?... — the Tanarisi girl gave the couple a questioning look, — But I can do various things, yes. Like making classic omelets and something a bit more complex. Although, I confess, — she shyly scratched the back of her head, — pastries and milkshakes are my passion. They partly motivated me to take on this job. And what about you, by the way? What do you do? You clearly look like experienced, well-trained individuals.

- Pastries? Can you bake pies too? 😍
- Gods, Beata... We should visit "Pam-Param" sometime soon...
- I was just asking!
What do you do... Beata felt a little uneasy. Both Carneol and she herself had already managed to make enemies here, which meant they had to be careful. But Alaria seemed quite friendly. Not entirely sincere, but there was nothing sinister about her. Although, if all assassins looked like assassins, life would be easier... And she herself would have been hanged on the first branch eight or ten years ago.
"I'll regret this," she thought. Aloud, she said:
- We are mercenaries. Adventurers. We arrived here a few months ago and found a permanent job. Of course, it's a dangerous job, but it's perfect for people like us.
- Sometimes too dangerous... - Gion sighed. - Prone to injuries.
- Yes, you know how to make a good impression...
- I'm just warning Alaria about the consequences of this lifestyle.
- Well, of course, we don't go on vacation! But we have fun, a good team, and a loyal boss.
- And we make enemies in no time...
- Don't remind me... Anyway, if you're interested, we can tell our boss and arrange a meeting sometime.

— Well, um, since we've switched to "you," why not? And I know about the school; I was even a little surprised to see it in the local archive. As for the story, — Alaria said, — I think a personal experience is better than any retelling. But if you need a brief synopsis, the story revolves around a group of young people, siblings not by blood, but by upbringing. I think everyone will find something for themselves. There's romance there, even if it's not in the foreground. There are plenty of adventures. And drama, yes, but it's better to see it as the story unfolds. If I tell you directly how it all ends, it won't have the desired effect.

- I understand, spoilers, spoilers, we'll have to find out for ourselves. Okay, thanks for sharing, we'll look for it!
