☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- There's still plenty of time until autumn. If the contest is truly family-friendly, and if something changes by then regarding the... conditions I have to operate under... then I'll consider it. But it would be irresponsible to promise anything in advance, I hope you understand. It's not easy to choose the right words when you're an alien offspring, whose very appearance can make any priest's blood boil and cause them to foam at the mouth. - Hmm... Is this survey information published somewhere later on, or...? Does it go to some kind of competent authority? Just curious. Oh, and yes, we got carried away, and I almost forgot. A water talisman appears from the bag of Christmas gifts: - This is for you, a small souvenir from beyond the empire. At first, I thought I'd get you an earth talisman, for strength, so to speak, because after that interview, you seemed a little unwell... But then I realized that this one might be more suitable for you.

- Unfortunately, I don't know much about this city yet, so I won't be able to fill it out with a clear conscience.

- Yes, that's a shame. Well, maybe next time.
