☀️ Arselia and Akonia

*Claps hands*

"Emm, what did I say that was so wrong?"

Laikos started counting on his fingers.
- If there are thirty repetitions in each set, that will be 30,000 repetitions... Hmm, will a whole day be enough for me?

-- )) Of course, I was exaggerating. Do as many sets as you like.

"How does she know who my commander is? I didn't mention anything about it and even avoided taking the bait from the green-eyed one about my armor."
- Thank you for understanding my situation.

"Mmm, did I scare him? But it seemed to me that he himself hinted at an affiliation when he spoke about 'the situation,' at least I don't see a ring on his ring finger, and I can't think of any other reason why he wouldn't accept gifts. Oh well, I won't do it again," -- all this was thought so that this time not to reflect extra emotions on her face, she just made it clear with her mood that she was not offended at all.

The guys agree, but soon they are a little shocked by Laikos' table manners - the strongman avoided contact with food with his hands and, for example, skewered a cupcake on a fork.

-- Mmmmmm, I thought that this was implied automatically in this universe, especially since Laikos already knows where the sink is, so... Let's check this one more time, make sure everyone has cleaned their feathers, okay? -- the girl clapped her hands and this time personally supervised the hand washing, although she was not sure that anything would change in the strongman's behavior.

"It's good to have a constant source of water, because in the past, sometimes we had to clean our hands over the fire in the smoke to save clean water," -- she suddenly remembered.

-- So, did you learn anything new, ladies and gentlemen? -- she asked, having finally prepared everything.
