☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- A unique charm, huh?... Maybe so 😔

"Perhaps that wasn't the best choice of words. 😅 On the other hand, it's hard to deny that Mary probably doesn't hear the same praise as Brescia or Clydne. But it's a double-edged sword, and some "compliments" might be unwelcome. It could be the wrong kind of attention. Or that people won't see the person behind the pleasant appearance. That potentially desirable suitors might, on the contrary, be "intimidated" by their beauty. And some "gentlemen," on the contrary, might try to take advantage. I know this from my own experience. Though... I still won't be able to speak for Clydne or Brescia. Perhaps their life experience has indeed been more successful than mine."
— Everything is fine with you, so don't dwell on it, — the Tanarian girl said with an encouraging smile.
Perhaps it would be better to change the subject to distract Mary from these thoughts. Not all problems in life can be solved with words, through a short dialogue. Although in Alaria's heart, there was hope that she had at least helped her companion a little in accepting herself.
— Hmm, by the way, how long have you been working here, if you don't mind me asking?
