☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- I doubt I would have a steady job now, especially within the ranks of the Guard, if I were a frequent visitor here. But now, it feels like my savings won't last much longer, so I might as well try to see how the wealthy live. What do I do? I read books, watch the cats at home, fill out my diary, lie on the couch... do you have any better ideas?

"Well, mercenaries like to hang out in bars... although, it's hard to call that a "steady job," isn't it? In my case, I was "self-employed," haha."
— In a way, that's true. It's hard to predict exactly what the near future holds, but there will definitely be challenges. It might even get to the point where there's no time for such entertainment. So, I agree, it's important to treat yourself sometimes, instead of worrying about every coin. But it's also good to have some plans for the future, in my humble opinion. So that not only warm memories, but also those plans serve as an important motivation, allowing you to overcome difficulties. They strengthen your spirit and willpower," Alaria knew from her own experience that if you put things off for too long, the moment could easily be missed, "my ideas about spending free time aren't that different, haha. I also keep a diary, especially when there's nothing else to do. Sometimes I experiment with culinary recipes that I wouldn't dare try on anyone else. I spend hours on exercise machines or practicing with a sword. Sometimes, I have philosophical and not-so-philosophical conversations with my comrades. And, of course, books. What would I do without them? Probably one of my main pastimes in recent months. But mostly, I read historical fiction. I don't really read other genres, although I wouldn't mind it. What kind of literature do you like? Do you have any favorite authors or series?
