☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- All sorts of things...? Well, I'm not against it! Just keep in mind that I don't have much experience with cats. Which one would you like?

—All sorts of... opponents of "animal enslavement." —Graphite blushed. —And cats are the simplest pets; we had two in our village. Hmm, actually, first impressions are often very misleading, but... What do you say, you furry rogue, will you join the count's retinue? —Sirrion.

- Good wishes and a little bit of magic, that's all!
The ascetic made a few gestures with his legs and arms, demonstrating that there was really nothing to worry about.

—..I hope that "wishes" didn't involve a magic lamp? —the mountaineer's eye twitched.

- Yes, that's a good idea. We need to let our fellow countrymen know where they can usually find you, otherwise they'll come home to Kriedaar, hear about today's news, and no one will be waiting for them there.

🤔🤔🤔 —That sounds reasonable. So, I'll leave the notice after all; otherwise, it would be pretty silly.

- You're thinking correctly, my friend! You know, I can send you home today; I'll scout out how things are going, and then I'll report back to you. What do you think?

—Today...? —the villager was momentarily taken aback. —Well, listen, pff... I wanted to, but considering the plans I have for the next few days, I might not have time, but... —sighing, he gathered his thoughts and shook his head. —In our business, your help could really be useful, but today is a holiday, there's so much to see in the city, and it would be absolutely unfair to miss the opportunity to ride around in a train.
