☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Well, he seems to be handling things pretty well now. I hope he learned his lesson. I won't scold you, though. An unprofessional person can certainly cause a lot of harm in an attempt to help, but sometimes makeshift methods can save lives. It's better to at least try to make things better than to do nothing.

— I certainly hope that such lessons are learned quickly. And as for the methods... ha-ha, thank you for that. Actually, I agree with you. Inaction often leads to disastrous consequences.
"We, of all people, should know that."

- I just happened to have some antitoxin on hand," Gillon showed a vial. "I've encountered giant venomous snakes before... Luckily, they didn't have time to bite me.

— It's good that members of our profession are well-prepared," the inquisitor smiled. "I might have been able to share something of my own, but all I have left from my previous adventures is a device for repelling monsters and wild animals. It certainly won't be useful for the performance.

- Most likely, it's about the fact that this is a standard circus act. She hasn't even thought about walking on a tightrope yet. But I'm also worried about the knives; this guy... he's original, to say the least. I hope Beata told him that we don't need any incidents.

— Hmm," the girl strained her memory, "she sort of warned him. She even asked Erefir to create a shield specifically for this act.
"Original, that's for sure. But I hope it's just a persona and a strange sense of humor. Of course, you can't rely on hope alone."

- I hope she was informed that we will have city guards patrolling. Although, if she walked past them like that... You're right, we should schedule her performance closer to the end; a real mage can certainly be the highlight of the show.

— She was warned," she nods. "First, I warned her, and then Beata did too. She didn't really respond to our warnings, though. But if she was smart enough to hide her appearance from the guards on the way here, she should be able to figure out how to protect herself during the performance. Maybe she'll choose a better costume.

- M?
"She definitely shouldn't know what I was thinking about... But she deserves at least some honesty."
- I just remembered... I suddenly realized how we don't appreciate what we have until we lose it.

— That's how it is," she sighs. "Yes, that's true. Especially in our line of work. And not everyone learns these life lessons. Or they learn them, but not right away, after suffering enough. Although... sometimes it's very difficult to predict the twists and turns of fate, especially if what was lost before was taken for granted.
Alaria perfectly understood the young man's emotions. In her life, she had lost a lot, starting with her comrades and ending with, well, her homeland. Even looking at the night sky, full of stars, she couldn't find a planet close to her heart. And even if it were that close, would the Tanarian be able to return there? Many dear people have long since disappeared. Familiar streets have changed. She would be no less of a stranger there than she is here. But someone like Klyn probably had it even harder, because the mountains of Kridar were always nearby. Less than a week's journey. He could easily take a train and visit his family, but work, work, work. Maybe he was even afraid to visit them in his current form. And now all of that is gone. Given his experience, it was hard not to be aware of the burden on his soul. And that's why Alaria understood the importance of future plans. Why Kridar should be restored. To help her friend get something that she herself can never hope for. Because all she can do is accept this state of affairs. Accept them as they are. And find other people from her homeland, because one of them, carrying the spirit of the true Reima, was somewhere on the horizon. It remained only to guess what was bothering Gillon, but if the Lunesian wasn't ready to share, that was his right. Everyone has their own path to healing.
