☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- You're a master, Alaria!!! - Beata clapped her hands. - It's such a beauty, it's a pity to cut it!!!
- Very beautiful! - Gillon nodded and sniffed. - And it smells divine! You're a chef sent by the gods!
- The best decision was to invite you to join us, - Beata said businesslike, nodding.

"No gods, it's all the result of diligent practice! Hmm, but I wouldn't be here right now without Miss Cosmos, so in a way, I really am "sent by the gods"."
- Who knows? Maybe you've been near the goddess of food all this time, without even realizing it? - The Tanarian winked slyly at her companions, then burst out laughing, - Thank you for the praise. I'm also very glad that I joined you! I'm afraid that without this, I wouldn't have had as many opportunities to practice my skills.

- And what are we celebrating? But in general, I must say that my intuition worked today, or maybe it's because I smelled something unusual in the kitchen... Anyway, all day, starting with breakfast, I was in a calorie deficit, not eating anything, just for this moment. It looks like a work of art. But, - she corrected herself. - we need to try it first to be objective in our assessment.

- Well, you became a watchmaker yesterday, and Gillon got his doctorate. But no delicious cakes came to mind for the second topic, so I decided to stick to the first one. Moreover, I already presented a tapestry to Beata and Gillon yesterday. Actually, - Alaria thoughtfully touched her chin, - you yourselves, it seems, expressed a desire for me to prepare something special in honor of this. Well, here you go - you asked for it! Sometimes wishes come true without any "buts".

-It looks amazing. - the knight said modestly. -It's a pity that I'm on a diet.

"I'm sorry too, Klin. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make cakes that remove the curses of the undead."
- Don't worry, I'll stuff you with sweet treats as soon as you're off it, - she puts her hand on the knight's shoulder and squeezes it tightly, - so much that you won't be able to look at sweets afterwards!
