☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- It's quite possible. Our people are wise beyond their years. But you know, EdgeLord-kun... - she sighed. - Sometimes it seems to me that you took lessons from the Kraken. Yes, I remember the six out of ten very well; this memory comes back to me day after day... And I assess such things realistically, but almost any woman would be offended by that. Even if it seems objective to you, each of us would give ourselves a ten, or at worst a nine, if we have self-esteem issues or view such things without prejudice. So, you're lucky that I'm not one of those, otherwise... - she paused, unable to come up with how she could annoy or take revenge on a superhuman with millions of rem in his account, spheres of space-time, and his own business. - ...I don't know. But it would be a pity," she added after a moment of silence. "Don't think that I'm pushing you to offer compliments - insincerity doesn't suit a person. But I know that you're not the type to do that consciously. As for the dresses, you can thank the one you almost started a war with," she said with a light smile. "Thank you. I thought they wouldn't suit me at all, but I've already gotten used to them." - Yes, I see, but for some reason, I often associated you with a bat. Let me answer this question as a bonus by saying that I'm very drawn to exotic fish, although you probably already knew that... There's something in their funny, yet elegant form and colors that gives them an aura of freedom, even though it seems at first glance that we - large and cunning land creatures - are completely in control of them. Now, you answer an additional question that I keep forgetting to ask - what was the initial answer to the box? Bors-san avoided my suggestive question, as usual... - she added after a couple of seconds. - I doubt there's anything so personal that it needs to be kept secret, but if it is, I don't need to know. - What is this mysterious goal, I wonder...? - the priestess said vaguely. - A strong quality... And can you guess it? I think you have a chance; you already know me well enough.
