☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- No, that's not quite right... - she sighed heavily. - Or rather, it's not right at all. You see, someone here is upset with me because of all this. She decided that my absence for the past two weeks meant that I "abandoned" her for some made-up reason, and my explanations don't satisfy her. Apparently, in her eyes, I have a reputation as a liar; why that is, I don't understand. Maybe I just don't have a very trustworthy face? Or maybe it's that "fake politeness" that people react to with aggression? - Aiyano's voice held a hint of resentment. - So, I would be very grateful if you could explain the subtext of the situation to someone and that I wasn't at fault. Because I wasn't!
Crossing her arms over her chest, mirroring Bajene's posture, she glared at her.
- Although, maybe even that won't be enough for her. Perhaps I need to provide a notarized explanation, signed personally by the Emperor, and even that might not be sufficient, - she snorted in the same way and turned away.
