☀️ Arselia and Akonia

The Minister looked ready to spare Alaria a few minutes of her time.

— Good day, Lady Asukan. I would like to know if something edible, in particular a professionally made cake, would be considered an acceptable gift? On the one hand, it's a handmade item that required a lot of effort. And the occasion is appropriate. On the other hand, I would also understand the precautions that prohibit such gifts—the world is full of cruel scoundrels who can do anything with food,—Alaria immediately remembered the story about the Heckelian fruits that spread throughout her native world—you can only protect yourself from that with some kind of magic specifically designed for this purpose. So... I would like to find out in advance so as not to spoil my figure with inappropriate gifts.
The Inquisitor paused briefly, giving the woman time to consider what she had said.
— Besides, there is another question, but it is not related to the ceremony. It is a question about songs, and I was advised to ask you about it. However, it can wait—it would be inappropriate to distract you from your current duties for no reason.
