☀️ Arselia and Akonia

At the docks of Erefir, he finds Aiyano unpacking her gifts, Sonata (disguised in something that doesn't resemble morning attire at all, and her ears are hidden under a cap) playing the piano nearby, and Cleona, Ahuri, and Ahuli chatting next to them.

It would have been interesting to meet the princess here, as well as the woman who is definitely not Sonata (because there are thousands of women in Margel with a million beauties and the same face that Erefir has already seen up close during the award ceremony) – but in the context of the redhead's vulnerable position with her gifts, it seems a bit inappropriate, especially since they are in a large, friendly group and are clearly disguising themselves; there's no need to interfere. Perhaps the exchange of combat experience and Penelope's request will have to be addressed later...

Erefir waits for the high-profile guests to leave, pretending to be busy... Studying the cost of tickets in case they need to be updated? Yes, let it be. If he is noticed, he greets them, but otherwise, it's better not to approach.

It's not a very good disguise, of course.
