☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- Yes, enjoy your meal, -- said the knight, rinsed her hands after touching the doorknob, sat down, and took a sip of another cup of coffee. -- A pleasant lady. I can't imagine that in any other country, a minister would go from house to house and personally ask residents about some interesting, but not necessarily important, political or cultural issue... She really seems to have married her office chair. Is this, by the way, accurate information about who she is? Maybe it's just someone's joke; I don't know all our ministers by sight.

"Hmm, and what will I 'marry' if I dedicate my life to hunting down evil creatures?" -- the inquisitor's gaze slid over the Flame of Hope -- "That two-meter-tall 'demonic creature'? This smells like a story about some villain!"
-- Perhaps she was simply curious to see the improvised club of historians in person? After all, for people of our profession, this is a somewhat unusual hobby, -- saying this, Alaria remembered how she and Halmaldir, during their voyage in Aldru, devoured the books of Alice Corundyr and even doubted a little, -- or maybe it's just that it's late, and the other employees were let go early, in anticipation of tomorrow. In general... we could have asked them ourselves, but the moment is lost. I agree, however, that she is a pleasant woman. And it's clear that she cares about her work.
"And she dresses stylishly."

-- But okay, I won't pretend, it seems that we have gained some modest fame, enough for such an unconventional minister. And you, esteemed speakers, have you read the lines in question? I wouldn't be surprised if we had something to discuss about it.

Colleagues nod in agreement and don't object.

"That's how it is. A squad in which there isn't a single native of Margel knows the history of the empire better than some of its indigenous people. To be fair, this happens more often than one might think. It was the same with me in Reime. Except that the Thanarian accent gave me away as an outsider."

Madness is like gravity - you only need to give it a little push.

Definitely a jokester.
