☀️ Arselia and Akonia

"Well, how should I put it," said the warrior, amused by Krey's expression of annoyed confusion, "it's more like the opposite. 😈"
— You're a professional, 😎" the Thanarian smiled again, "so you're right, it's time to get to work."
The former inquisitor cleared her throat.
— As I said, you are straightforward in your speech, and your words are rich with curses and epithets that can be applied to your interlocutors. Whatever anyone says, this kind of rudeness also requires a certain amount of imagination and ingenuity. Despite your directness and unwillingness to grovel before clients, as sometimes happens elsewhere, no one is thinking of firing you; on the contrary, you earn well and can afford to pay for a personal clown. How many ordinary workers can boast that? Your efficiency speaks for itself. Or perhaps you are the owner of "The Rumor"? Then it's even better – you are a thriving businesswoman, and based on your appearance, you are not even a native of Margel, but you own a very profitable and socially useful business. Your magazines are a model of informativeness and impartiality, being both informative and interesting reading. I say this as someone who read the first three issues in one sitting. At the very least, this means that you are good at selecting staff, and if you are the main author of the articles yourself, Alaria gives a slight bow, then allow me to take off my metaphorical hat in front of you. This speaks of you as a girl who is extremely erudite, hardworking, and impartial. You critically evaluate the world around you, not allowing sympathies or antipathies to cloud your mind. A rare professionalism these days. And you are still very young – this is only the beginning of your journey. If you are so knowledgeable about politics, what can we expect from you in the future? Perhaps one day a magazine will be published about you if your knowledge earns you a place on the imperial council? However, even if I am wrong and your duties are limited to the position of a salesperson, my previous words still hold true. You are still a young and successful woman, more than worthy of praise. And at the same time, you don't let yourself go and have a sense of style, which also positively distinguishes you from the gray masses. You know your worth, which is very, very important.
