☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Alright, in that case, you need to go to the 69th residential district; there's a hospital there. Tell them you're from SRI.

"For some reason, I thought I'd be assigned to a camp for the needy. Although, in general, this assignment makes sense too – there were a lot of wounded people back then, and they also needed to be fed well. It's a little funny, actually, that if Gion decides to take on a part-time job as a medic, or decides to dedicate some volunteer hours starting next week, we'll be colleagues in a double sense," Alaria didn't continue her thought with reflections on how Gion, who became a guard or responded to Neik's advertisement, could also end up being one of the patients.

Thanking the receptionist again, the Tanarrian headed to the indicated address. Along the way, it was hard not to think about how, once again, difficult times had come for the empire that had taken her in. And again, she headed to the government headquarters as a volunteer to help. Although, of course, these similarities are superficial. She lived in Reim for longer, and the differences between it and Welfern were obvious. The tasks for her, as a volunteer back then, were much more dangerous than the current ones, and she received substantial monetary compensation for them. Here, there was no compensation, but Alaria didn't need it. It would undermine the very essence of the act. The fact of doing a good deed was enough now. However, it was easy to reason in this way from her position of relative comfort. The former inquisitor was well aware of this.

It's a little unexpected that her skills are now useful in this way. Initially, she took up this craft for herself. To be able to cook something delicious for herself. To prove that she was more than just an "ordinary warrior" and capable of more than just unskilled labor. To have a place in the bright Reim of the future, when its dark period in history comes to an end. And upon returning to Margel, she was very surprised to find that cooking services were not really in demand. And now, everything has suddenly turned upside down, and there is now a need for her skills.
