☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— Hello, thank you for the kind words. You are right, — the Tanarian woman smiled broadly, — I am Alaria Doran, nice to meet you. And thank you for the kind words; I tried my best to ensure everything is of the highest quality. I hope the patients will like it too.

— Perhaps you are right. However, you are a private individual, not a society... It seems to me that, despite the nobility of the members of my squad, they would be a little more motivated if it involved some modest reward for their work. I am sure that there will be no question of identifying patients in this case, but from a statistical point of view, information about how mercenaries think is useful. — She smiles.

— I wonder how Metarma is feeling in the company of the doctor? Does he look at him with eyes full of another fleeting infatuation? Is he not exploiting her?

— Is this the only question, or did you want to talk about something else, sir?

— They didn't seem bad to me, and they were even quite polite. Especially the second one, which is surprising, given his background, — she pauses for a couple of seconds, remembering what color the second boy was marked with. — I hope their decision to join this operation will not backfire on them... Yes, you know, I just thought of something. In my homeland, no one would ever think of sticking their hand into a donation box, for obvious reasons. Firstly, people are decent; secondly, they do not want to anger the gods; and thirdly, there is mostly small change in it. But here, I somehow don't trust people as much. They have not yet developed the necessary spiritual values to a sufficient extent to avoid making a foolish and sacrilegious mistake. Although I sealed the box from the inside with talismans, I still feel that something more reliable would not hurt it. After all, here you can't throw a stone without hitting a superhuman. Maybe some kind of mechanism or something like a bear chest... Or maybe dig it out of the pit, bring it, and convert it? What do you think?
