☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Hearing the diagnosis, the priestess only sighs heavily, then forcefully pats Bajena on the back and embraces her in a bear hug, or rather, a newborn bear cub hug, given her strength. Fortunately, she had long since taken care of herself and no longer suffered from the smell and traces of mysterious ammonia solutions on her body and meager clothing.
- A little Ayano-energy for you... - she grumbles, not explaining the mysterious and utterly incomprehensible motivation for this action to ordinary mortals.

- This... - she scratches the back of her head in front of Linetta. - Hmm... Yes... Well, what can you do? It turned out the way it did, - she shrugs. - We'll go through here again, maybe something was missed, but there wasn't much loot to be found. Maybe you found something on the third level?... But nevertheless! I felt better knowing that you went with us. And, although this hope will be implicit, however... - she paused. - Although, never mind, it's not the right time for that now. Please forgive me.

She says to the parents and son:
- Yes, it would have been... Extremely difficult without you. Please accept my deepest gratitude for your help in this difficult task, - she bows at a 90-degree angle, after which she looks around distrustfully. - But it's too early to relax; I won't rest until we are safe. Besides, Dakini is still at large... For now, it's hard for me to imagine what this will ultimately lead to. There is a tiny hope that she will decide to end it and leave us all alone, but I don't believe it. So we'll have to keep looking over our shoulders.

She says to Ahuri and Ahuli:
- Apparently, we have fulfilled our duty to Anuzish and erased this, um... "bdeligma" from its surface, - she remembered the fashionable word from the princess's lexicon. - We would not have been able to do this so effectively and safely without your help. Arigato gozaimasu, oniisan-tachi. I hope we can leave this place without any further surprises.

She says to Sonata's students:
- For the first time, it was quite good. I had minimal doubts, but you all turned out to be very capable. Satisfactory work in unexpected conditions on the first level, and simply excellent - on the golems. Well done - nothing more, nothing less. Thank you all for your courage and discipline. Keep it up, and you will achieve great heights. However, don't relax until we get out of here. I really hope that you won't have to learn this harsh lesson today, but know that extraction from the mission is the third most dangerous stage after the active phase and the start. Be vigilant!

She says to Sonata (first of all, to her):
- All of these need to be tied up very tightly and securely right now - in chains or something... And preferably with a gag, I don't want them to corrupt young minds with their madness. Besides, they are casting spells, that needs to be taken into account. Even the faint-hearted need to be arrested, - she tries to detect the presence of curses on the slaves. - Who knows what kind of tricks all this crap is capable of? Maybe Dakini can even possess their bodies? What about her in the end? Where did she go, the guys must have seen? I'm afraid she'll do something nasty. And was anything else found on the third level? Besides that... - she glanced around their current hall. - We should also check here, if anything is left, but it's dangerous, there are probably curses, enchantments, and mechanisms that trigger the cave's self-destruction. Although... the last wave would be just right, if only we have enough time to get out.
