- Perhaps I can do this small favor. Where can I find you, Sir Coldnose?
- For the foreseeable future, my home is "The Hearth." I think you should at least know the name, as it's a local landmark.Author
- I, in turn, live nearby, in [K-1]. I'm part of the multi-tasking combat squad "Carnelian." If you're interested in working in a similar field, feel free to reach out," she said with a charismatic smile. "And in general, I'd be glad to see you.
- I'll keep that in mind, but I doubt my modest skills would be useful to a team of professionals.Author
- Well, what about that? All intelligent professionals have their own self-deprecating humor; why shouldn't you have some too? But I was just thinking that homunculi are... well, they're something, right? - she makes an indefinite gesture with her hands, presumably to depict an amorphous, slimy creature with furry tentacles, then shrugs. - Well, okay then, that's a relief. At least this Dakini isn't a homunculus of that monarch, which means we can expect fewer tricks from her. But even so, that doesn't bring us any closer to solving the mystery... She's probably been alive for a very long time, but how did she manage that? Maybe she drinks the blood of infants born to unfortunate slaves? She must be incredibly powerful. It's unlikely that we'll find anything about her in the archives... Maybe someone in Risserlande can provide some information? What other options do we have?
- If they were like that, Aiyano, then King Sillion would be... at the very least, a man with extremely unusual tastes, and his subjects would hardly be able to accept that without telling their children that if they are disobedient, the royal homunculus will come and do something unpleasant to them. - She sighed again. - If the Dakini can "change bodies," then I think that answers all the other questions - that's how she stays young, and the new appearance prevents anyone from suspecting her true age. She probably doesn't use the same name outside the coven, so I think searching for information about her is a futile endeavor.
