☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— I actually met her once. She used to be interested in the old "Ideal," but she didn't have time to visit. Then she came to the new one and, out of curiosity, asked about job opportunities. Turns out, I "didn't fit their profile," — the Tanarian girl chuckled, shaking her head. — It was a bit strange to hear that, considering I'd done some modeling, even if it wasn't professional. And I even won some beauty contests. But, oh well. I haven't been there since, not because I was offended, but simply because there was no point. Their prices are, let's just say, not exactly modest. I didn't know they also rented out dresses. And that they were somehow connected to Carneol. I guess it's good to have connections all over the city, right?

"We also had some problems with finding internal candidates."
— Thank you. But nothing prevents you from looking for someone else on a permanent basis, right? However, these kinds of connections are still important and useful, in my humble opinion. And the lack of open affiliation with Carneol can even be an advantage in certain situations. Overall, I still consider it a success, even if it's partial.

— Ha-ha, you know how to surprise me too, — the warrior's eyebrows rose in slight surprise, — I thought you were just getting ready for the morning meeting, but it seems I was wrong. Hmm, I might have something interesting to share about that later, but I don't have time right now. Help... — Alaria leaned closer to the knight's ear and, making sure no one was listening, whispered, — ...I've prepared a little surprise for the guys for tonight. I asked Astellia to make sure it wasn't ruined. Unless something happens in that regard, — having said her piece, she stepped back again, — besides that... well, while Beata is away, you can get to know our assistants better. And I'll go see Alice, try my luck.
