☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- You're agile enough, I think you can dodge even if I try to hit you.

- Thank you for the high praise of my abilities, but it's better not to tempt fate 😉

- Pfft, they won't criticize the stage costume, although they should be thanking me, not complaining, for the opportunity to behold such beauty.

- I agree, the beauty is indescribable! So, everything is under control! 👍

- Human skin also stretches well," Zostmer commented, "and it's easy to sew different pieces together to make what you need.

Beata's eye twitched slightly, but she managed to maintain a poker face and didn't comment.

- Okay, is everyone in their places? And... let's go!

Beata signals the musicians to start, walks onto the stage to solemn and cheerful music, and bows to the audience.

- So, I didn't prepare a speech, I'll improvise on the fly... Dear residents and guests of Margel, thank you for coming to our performance and all that, I'll try not to make it too long...
- Beata is eloquent, she can easily give a good speech without preparation," reassured Guyon.
- Now, meet our first act - a battle dance of the Carneol mercenaries! Welcome to the stage, Erefir and Garret! Your applause, dear audience!

The general rehearsal begins. During the rehearsal, some interesting moments may or may not occur, and then, after the final run-through, they could proceed to dinner.
