☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- That's right, hurry up with the dress. I was lucky; I solved a similar problem by visiting a good acquaintance in time... Penelope Howe. I want to praise this girl; she used to be a member of Carnelian, appeared in our lives in a critical situation, and untied one of the tight knots that weighed us down, and now she has saved us again: I definitely don't have a strap for Alice's creations.

— And I happened to meet her once. She was interested in the old Ideal at one time, but I didn't have time to visit. I went to the new one and decided to ask about the work, just out of curiosity. It turned out that I "didn't fit," — the Tanarian girl shook her head with a smile, — it was a little strange to hear that, especially since I had done some part-time work in the modeling business, albeit not professionally. And I even won beauty contests. But, well, that's how it is. I haven't been there since, though. Not because of any resentment, but simply because there was no point. The prices there are, to put it mildly, not the most modest. I didn't know that they also rented out dresses. And that the new owner was somehow connected to Carnelian. It's probably good to have connections all over the city.

-- Regarding the huntress, having a contact is good. But, of course, it's a little sad because, in case of a force majeure, it will again force us to run around, and who guarantees that an external employee will be in the right place? I understand, however, that you can't put a free bird in a cage... Let it be for now. The quest is completed 👍

"We also had problems with finding an internal candidate."
— Thank you. In any case, nothing prevents us from looking for someone else on a permanent basis? But such contacts are still important and useful, in my humble opinion. And the lack of open affiliation with Carnelian, in certain situations, may even be an advantage. It's still a success, even if it's partial.

-- Well, as for me... I seem to be a bit of a slacker compared to you today, although, — she shows a badge from the art school. — I'm discussing the philosophy of art with Kalina. Also, after all this... the grand change near our headquarters, I'm starting to think about supporting Beate as well. Independence is independence, but I have one idea, maybe it will come in handy. Well, for now, is there anything else you need to know? Maybe you need some help, just quietly?

— Ha-ha, you can surprise me too, — the warrior's eyebrows rose in slight surprise, — I thought you were just getting ready for the morning meeting, but it turns out that's not the case. Hmm, I can share something interesting about this later, but I don't have time right now. Help... — Alaria leaned close to the knight's ear and, making sure no one was listening, whispered, — ...I prepared a little surprise for the guys for the evening. I asked Astellia to make sure it wasn't spoiled. Unless, in that regard, something happens. — Having said that, she moved away again, — besides that... well, while Beate is away, you can get to know our assistants better. And I'll go to Alice, I'll try my luck.
