☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Well, alright... - Onyka sadly lowered her eyes. - I understand...

- But, but! You're craftier than you let on, aren't you? You've already used this method today. You can't fool me with sad eyes twice in a row, - she casually waved her hand and crossed her arms over her chest, standing there for a while without showing any disinterest, and then with a sigh, she asked the young man. - But just out of curiosity and for general knowledge... Does the master work this way on commission? Does he accept design requests? This is a very serious question because I see that the level of designs... varies slightly, - she nods towards the exposed stern of the Sonata (on its figurine). - And if so, how much would it cost approximately?

- Good afternoon! Congratulations on... Your new status? 😅 I'm not complaining yet, but I try not to tempt fate too much; I don't really like taking risks 😅 By the way, - he nods to his companion, - meet Beata.
- Congratulations, Your Highness, and it's a pleasure to meet you! We somehow missed each other last time 😅 - Beata decided not to mention that they missed each other because she was languishing in a prison cell, not the most pleasant part of her biography. - And it's great that I can say in person... Thank you! A huge thank you! - she meaningfully nodded towards Gion.

- That's absolutely right; it wouldn't be good if all your efforts went to waste because of some trivial thing. Unfortunately, in our world, this happens more often than we would like.
- Yamagami Aiyano, - an introductory bow. - It's a pleasure to meet you; Gion-dono mentioned you to me. Finally, I can put a face to the name. Thank you for the congratulations, but please, let's skip the formalities; I'm not particularly used to it in this way... - she nods to both of them. - Even though we haven't really seen each other, I have a feeling that we've known each other for a thousand years. Probably, it's the aura of camaraderie from our previous encounters and, uh... our employer. Yes, let me also congratulate you on your appointment. She can't be accused of stinginess, but trust in people is not her main trait, let's just say. Therefore, the fact that you were appointed speaks volumes about your organization. Whatever hardships and difficulties you have experienced so far, you have ultimately earned the recognition of Her Majesty.
Glancing at the place where Giyoshi once emerged, from which a fragment came out, she says:
- As for Gion-dono, don't worry; I just did what I could and what was expected of me in this matter. Anuish and Kami deserve the credit for this miracle. And, of course, your husband - he is very strong, and first and foremost, it is his concern for you that helped him endure this ordeal. Uh, yes, I apologize if I'm interrupting your time together. I just thought that not saying hello after finding ourselves in the same location would be a waste...
