☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- "What the...?" That's what I'm talking about – you're not even putting in the minimum effort. You can't get far on sheer audacity alone. Not a daughter, not a sister, not a wife... And did you see this? – she shows a spinel ring. – Although, yes, you did. I told you to take care of your health back then, did you think it was just a local panic or empty words? And thirdly, you're here for Sonata, but you're only hitting on me because you can't get to her. According to all the rules, I should be offended, but I'm not, only because you're amusing – in a good way, not a dismissive one. Anyway, survive first and complete the task with dignity – we're all planning to do that, no matter how mutant-blasphemous the place we're going to is. Then, if you want, I can ask her if she agrees to go for a walk and eat ice cream with you – literally, without any hidden meaning; you can be sure that otherwise, she will definitely refuse. But even so, the answer will still be up to her – whether she considers it acceptable or not in your situation, and you will have to accept it as it is – whims don't suit anyone, especially a man. There are things in life that cannot be changed, no matter how much we want to, and the only thing left is to move on. As for me, let's avoid maneuvers and false hopes," she says, holding the ring to her eyes and pausing for a few seconds, thoughtfully turning it on her finger. "We had a complicated and not very beautiful history, in some moments of which I wanted to hang myself. But all that is in the past, and now he has found the strength of character to move towards the light and change for the better – and not just in words, but in deeds. I respect that, and I will not betray his heart and sincerity under any circumstances – and such a trip would be. Besides, we still have an unfinished conversation that I must complete. So, you have no chance with me, Mudakun. Nothing personal, no offense, I'm just being honest, out of respect for your sincerity too. And yet, try not to take this as a defeat. On the contrary, I would recommend that you see it as a clear example of how, even with minimal chances, a person's willpower can bring about an seemingly incredible result. Perhaps not with me, but with someone else – without a doubt. With the woman you consider worthy, not just in the heat of the moment, obeying the impulses of the flesh, but with a full awareness in your heart and soul – she is waiting for you somewhere, and she will bring you such happiness and spiritual fulfillment that thousands of "bitches," as you say, bought for money or otherwise, will not be able to provide. And you will bring the same happiness to her, because it is a mutual effort," she sighs and smiles sincerely, giving the little rascal a nod. "However, I am grateful for your feelings – if they come from the heart, and not from your 'tower.'"
She sighs again and closes her eyes, pauses, then concludes:
"We can be friends, if you're even interested in that, or you can even become my parishioner. But in the second case – well, actually, in the first case too, but in the second case, definitely – you will still have to work on your vocabulary. Because if you say something in your style on the territory of my sanctuary, you won't be able to pick up your teeth from the ground, and none of the higher powers will judge me for that. And neither will some of the other parishioners. After all, the word and deed of a miko-sama are the law of the Kami-sama, expressed physically.
