☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Beata understands that their playful banter with Guion has gone on for too long.
“Alright, Kline, I’m just kidding. We’re talking about 4229 rem here, and we were thinking of giving you three thousand, with the rest going to Margel, but we’re not sure how to donate – whether to give it to you personally or to donate everything to the SRI, and then let them figure it out.”

—This is… very generous of you, friends. I can see in your eyes that you’ve already discussed everything amongst yourselves, and out of respect for you, I won’t make things awkward with repeated questions, refusals, or clarifications. The only thing is, I would split it equally, because when it comes to human suffering between Margel and Kriedear, it’s impossible to find a proportion that isn’t unfair. As for the rest… Today is a holiday, and I assume the administrators need a short break from all the calculations? I was going to go to the SRI at the next available time slot anyway, so I’ll clarify about the donations in any case, but time doesn’t favor bureaucracy, and if they’re going to take it, they’ll take it.

“Please, don’t say such things about potential danger; your truly virtuous soul has never been a secret to anyone, regardless of your physical state. We have suffered much more from the living, and besides, do we really look like people with prejudices? But I understand your desire to hide it, just out of embarrassment and to avoid embarrassing others. Although, it turns out that it wasn’t even necessary, but perhaps it’s true that wise people watch what comes out of their mouths.

Kline wanted to argue that some neighbors could easily turn even the most virtuous souls into obedient war machines, but he decided not to bring up the negative topic. Instead, he smiled gratefully at the commander – she definitely knew everything, and maybe even specifically found out about him.
