☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Well, that's great, - Elle nods. - No matter what you say, even with a more relaxed lifestyle, it's always good to take a break, - she takes the juiciest and most delicious piece of inarka and puts it on the mermaid's plate. - Come on, don't be upset, we are pleasantly surprised by your charm. Imagine, all this time, Emil-san was hiding such a treasure. Although that was also right, because he is obliged to protect you.

- What an interesting company. - After swallowing another piece of hayamaki, Bruno voices his observation. - A servant of Arselia, a mermaid, a bard, a postwoman, a pilot, a shop owner, a hotel receptionist, seven children, and... two foreigners. It's as if you've gathered everyone you've met during this visit to Mitten.

Perhaps this question was addressed to Lord or Trude, or maybe to no one at all - certainly not to the "virus" herself, whom the grumpy cleric considered it beneath his dignity to look at or address in any way, and perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to pretend that this comment was not heard... But Nihonka decided not to stoop to his level and still answered, even if she didn't expect a response: - That's right, holy father, you are a good observer. It so happened that all the people we met turned out to be exceptionally kind, sweet, and hospitable, and to see them in good company with each other on this mild June day is one of those tender memories that you want to keep in your heart forever. The very one that will first come to mind when thinking about these idyllic landscapes, and perhaps the last in the moment... it doesn't matter. Such events, even if fleeting, are only possible in a cozy, warm community of like-minded people, which means they are quite rare in their very nature. I hope that this memory will remain in the hearts of other participants in the same way. Although, most likely, there will be many more such days in their lives.
