☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Alarii, quietly:
-- Well, your food was clearly a hit with the guys. I didn't explicitly tell them who to thank, otherwise, I had the feeling some of them would immediately start proposing. But if that's exactly what you want, don't miss the opportunity, -- she winked. -- By the way, what about the dress?

"I wonder how many suitors I would have inadvertently created if the poor guys in the hospital knew what their temporary cook looked like," the Taranian thought, a rather immodest thought. "And who among the locals could it be? It's unlikely to be Creon, Dax, or the clowns. So, is it Laikos? He certainly doesn't seem like a bad person, but I think I can manage without him... although, people who rush to propose so quickly, without even getting to know you, generally don't seem like the best material for a relationship."
-- It seems the saying about men's hearts and their stomachs is true, -- she said with an awkward laugh, -- thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I messed up a bit with the dress, underestimating the costs. Unfortunately, -- she shrugs, -- I guess I'll have to rummage through my closet, hoping to find something suitable. Perhaps, of course, someone already anticipated this and prepared something for the occasion, but it's still better to be prepared.
