☀️ Arselia and Akonia

probably another key NPC that I forgot about

On his way home, Klin encounters a girl dressed as a maid, whose face seemed too ordinary for him to remember.

One might think that Klin was too picky, or perhaps his gaze was focused on something else entirely, but they would be wrong—the image of the recent destruction still lingered in the knight's mind.
—Cute kitty... —he murmured thoughtfully to himself, glancing briefly at the lovely creature.

—In general, I agree with you on these matters, — the warrior nodded firmly, — I stay for the same reasons. I would have liked to take a break from all this and enjoy a peaceful life, but alas. Apparently, you can't escape fate. As for plans... — Alaria looked at the creed warrior with an assessing gaze, — ... you're not going to follow my example, are you? I'm alone. I have no family. I can afford certain risks. Your situation is different. So think carefully before rushing into heroism. Because I came to protect you, not to pull you out of a peaceful life, — the tanarisi sighed heavily, — we have a plan, but I can't say how it will all turn out. Otherwise, I wouldn't advise you to rest outside of Margel right now.

—I don't intend to, and that's why I'm grateful for your concern. I have given up on adventures and travels, but protecting my home and loved ones definitely doesn't fall into that category. A knight's duty does not depend on personal circumstances; otherwise, it is worthless. —Klin fell silent for a moment, contemplating the situation. —I don't know if you have any news about Her Light, but her prolonged absence also worries me. It would be a shame to leave my glorious patron in trouble. Therefore, if Sanexa wishes to stay in the capital, I would like to do everything in my power to prevent that creature from flying in again. If not, then... I wish you victory.
