☀️ Arselia and Akonia

"Another rising star," Beata thought approvingly, giving the sorceress a thumbs-up and joining in the applause. "This is even better than pulling a rabbit out of a hat. She has charisma in spades, and she's made for performing in public. And her audience interaction is excellent; people love it. It was a bit awkward with Arivell, as she wasn't warned beforehand, but she's a great girl and handled it well." "Gods, poor thing, what a baptism by fire," thought Guion, watching the musician. "I hope Beata remembers to pay her." He was well aware that these were just harmless illusions and that there was nothing truly dangerous to expect, but he remained vigilant. At the same time, he found the willpower to distract himself from what was happening on stage and assess the situation. Despite a couple of twitching eyes, he enjoyed the performance and happily joined in the applause.
