☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Having properly assessed the costume for the upcoming performance (which may or may not be generated later), Alaria put on her new outfit and looked at how it fit. It seemed to fit perfectly everywhere. It was even surprising how good Beata and Guion were at judging sizes. The tailoring was also excellent. And there was no strange creativity, which one might expect after their remarks about rabbits. It was perfect for the performance. And it wouldn't be embarrassing to wear it on the street, even in cold autumn weather. But she should thank herself for becoming a human heater, capable of withstanding low temperatures without harm to her health. "Hmm, I wonder if the Beautiful Queen felt cold walking around town in just her underwear? Or is she not only an illusionist but also a bit of a fire mage? I probably should have asked her about that when I had the chance." After spinning around in front of the mirror for a while and nodding contentedly to herself, the girl went back outside and headed towards the fire show arena, warning those who might be potentially interested in the performance and were not currently busy. Just in case, and audience feedback can sometimes be helpful, even though the "boss" had given the go-ahead. The program was already familiar, but it was enhanced with several more complex numbers. It required more grace, speed, and agility from the performer, but Alaria was perfectly capable of handling it. Her experience, training, and willingness to quickly adapt and learn were paying off. And many of them were based on well-known combat techniques, simply spiced up with a healthy dose of artistry and trickery. It's a pity that you can't defeat an opponent on the battlefield with the sheer beauty of your techniques. On the other hand, some of the maneuvers used could theoretically be applied outside the program. But that's something to think about later. For now, it was important to focus on the beauty of the program, where no one would have to fight anyone... well, except for Erefir and Garret, perhaps.
