☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Yes, you truly are an extraordinary individual... Creep-Shinpu, - the alien creature finally replies. - I promise to consider this. Whatever name they give you, if some words strengthen hope and others undermine it, then I understand which ones I will choose and which ones I won't give a penny for.
She bows her head:
- Arigato.
It couldn't be said that this conversation instantly dispelled all her doubts - after all, creating is always more difficult than destroying - but she probably felt a little bit lighter. By a certain percentage.

- You know, I left the empire for a while and brought back souvenirs for friends and family. ...but unfortunately, after that event, I didn't think I would ever be able to look you in the eye again of my own free will. So, I had to abandon that idea regarding you. But I promise that the next time, whenever that may be, I will correct this unfortunate oversight.
After thinking for a moment, she asks:
- To be honest, that time I hoped to understand something. About Arselia. Is the whole story true - that the planet created its own mortal avatar? It's not that I couldn't imagine that it was generally possible, but honestly... a couple of times I had the feeling that the way some people interpret it plays less on unity and more on... it's hard to say what.
