☀️ Arselia and Akonia

I should think about the edits, perhaps yes.

As for other edits—I'm just refreshing my memory for now—but there is an imperial inquisitor in the list of backstories. Simultaneously a combination of Reimeian and Tanarsian...
And I could also give her a gene modification for fire resistance.

-- I'm also not sure if it's worth mixing... The situation is this: if we happen to expand specifically as a military organization, which I slightly hope for in the future, honestly, then providing training, retraining, and further education for each other and recruits will become an obviously necessary task. Will it be possible to bring the financial component into this? Hard to say; usually, it's not done that way.

— We'll see how everything unfolds. Carneol, in its current form, truly feels like something temporary. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if the organization is repurposed in the future. But it could also happen that upon completion of our mission, the squad will be disbanded and we'll be offered new positions according to our demonstrated talents.

-- Or if a Masters Guild is organized separately, nothing will stop Carneol members in any number from being regulars there... Maybe it can even be set up so that the mentor profession isn't a necessary requirement for sharing unique skills; it could depend on how the process is organized. In any case, I praise you for the theme—it's unclear how relevant all this is yet, but I praise you )

— Even if nothing like that is foreseen in the near future, nothing stops one from trying to write a manual, right? I do the same with ideas for military techniques that come to mind. So to speak, documenting the process so it's easier later to bring my knowledge to the masses. Perhaps I should have recorded my steps toward mastering the path of fire in more detail, but at that time my mind was occupied with something else.

-- Since you brought this up, a way for reliable stat grinding would also be good to add for us somehow. I've more or less studied the fitness club in Tais back then; a similar one in Margel is unavailable to me, but it would be good to send a spy with a notebook and pencil there too, and then we could somehow manufacture gym equipment for our headquarters. This task is perhaps simpler to execute, but still possesses a certain level of scale.

— You could also ask Penelope a bit about this. Her agency's profile is slightly different, but some of the lessons in the service list include physical exercises. Perhaps she can point you in the right direction. When I was interested in job offers there, I initially assumed they needed people of that profile, not new models. After all, I know a bit about exercises and the appropriate diet for them. Actually... I have gym equipment at home; I don't remember if I mentioned it. Perhaps no tricks are needed and you can just visit me. It's certainly simpler and faster than building another section onto the headquarters, though not without its own complications over time.

—Who, me?.. Well alright, uh. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? — to everyone.

— Oh, damn, — Alaria began affectedly fixing her hair and tidying herself up, — I didn't know I was coming for a job interview today! Actually, the question isn't the worst for today's occasion, — she smiled, finishing her antics, — but looking so far into the future... I don't know, so much can change in that time. For instance, about four years ago, I didn't think I'd be baking cakes for a mercenary squad, and yet here we are! — smirking, she shakes her head, — But current life plans also say a lot about a person, for what it's worth. And I have all sorts of plans on that matter, though you'll hardly be surprised by them. It's always good to keep different options in mind, as fate loves to twist and turn. But I'll say right away that I hardly see myself ten years from now in the ranks of the current Carneol, assuming it undergoes no metamorphoses. I hope no one here is offended by my words, as I value your company very much.

— Someday, I'm thinking of going on a journey. To get better acquainted with the world and other cultures. To learn new fighting styles to hone my skill. A sort of path to self-improvement, — the Tanarsian smirked, — apologies in advance for the pun. But would I spend my whole life on the road in such a scenario? Hardly; vagabonding is not conducive to building or maintaining permanent ties. It sounds somewhat lonely. Probably, sooner or later, I'll settle down. Perhaps, but not necessarily, by the specified age. In such an outcome, I'll most likely be doing exactly what we talked about a bit earlier — passing my knowledge on to others. Maybe I'll open my own military school, but I'm also considering a position as an instructor at some military academy. Of course, assuming someone offers it to me, ha-ha!

— At the same time, instead of a journey without a final destination, I'm considering another option. As I've mentioned several times, throughout my life I've had to hunt various kinds of own filth, so I have rich experience in this matter. And I might also travel the world. Perhaps it would be best to do this as part of some organization, maybe a special squad, but I'm not entirely sure about that. After all, such activity may be the prerogative of the servants of Anuzish, which outsiders are not admitted to. However, it is very likely that even such an option would subsequently lead to working as an instructor. Someone has to train young hunters who will continue the good work, right? Or I might even head such a formation, for all we know. It's not excluded that this could happen much sooner than "in ten years." But such a plan depends on too many factors to state anything for certain. It may even happen that there is no filth left to exterminate and all the dark sorcerers in the vicinity have been caught.

— There is a chance I'll meet the right person and settle down a bit, maybe even start a family. It's hard to predict this because even with the right partner, the surrounding conditions might be unsuitable. In such a scenario, if the instructor plans don't pan out and everything else is conducive to it, then... — Alaria hesitated slightly, — ... in short, I can imagine opening a family confectionery. I know, it sounds very simple. But it would still be a craft pleasing to the heart, by which I could provide for my loved ones while spending even working hours in their company. I'll always be nearby. Of course, I won't abandon the martial arts even in such a case, but I'm not sure if there will be time to devote myself to it fully. And whether my soul would be torn in different directions. Probably, if I find peace in such a life, it wouldn't. But that sounds like an idyllic picture requiring idyllic conditions. So it's not certain that it won't remain just a warm fantasy.

— Most likely, along with any of these options, I will also engage in writing. I have plans for this too, and they aren't limited to books about, say, cooking or the martial craft. After all, I enjoy pondering questions of the universe in my spare time, you know! — she raises her index finger importantly, — And if I set off on distant wanderings, I can add memoirs of my travels to that. The filth encountered would also be good to document. Why hide it; it's not excluded that I'll try myself in the worst cases. Bookworms must show bookworm solidarity, otherwise how!

— Perhaps, Klin, these are exactly the scenarios I can more or less clearly imagine according to the abstract criteria you set. Omitting all dark and unwanted scenarios, of course. Who better than people of our profession to know? I hope my answer satisfied your curiosity.

Of course, there were a number of other unvoiced options. For example, that in the event of Carneol's disbandment, she would go work for Naria under Sonata's wing and her further life would be linked to this. But revealing the otherworldly nature of the Reimeian empress, despite the loud surname, would be extremely untoward. Not to mention that such a scenario depended on too many variables, many of which, for some reason, appeared to Alaria as faceless silhouettes dressed in robes.
Or it could be that she and Erephir turn out not just to be sisters-in-arms, but a well-complementing duo of inventors who will subsequently jointly push forward the scientific and technical progress of Welfern. After all, despite their general similarity in character, they looked at certain problems from completely different angles, which is very useful in such an activity. Even the company name is already ready — "Darvening & Doran", sounds great! But first, she had to find time to at least discuss high technology with the redhead in more detail, as well as brush up on her Reimeian skills. And then it will be clearer, especially since abilities for inventing would also be very appropriate in the same path of a filth hunter.
