☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— His brother, Harold, was just discharged from the afterlife and arrived in Margel nine-seven-five today. He said it in a casual tone, as if there was nothing unusual about it, but Garrett's longtime companion knew that this could mean a lot. — Carneol's newcomer decided he should know his veterans. — Garrett concluded with a smile at his friend. — Glad to see you, Kalina! It's great that you've become who you are now, and this place... I think it's a success; it even makes you feel better just being here. — Hmm... So, that's Kalina. — the younger one narrowed his eyes, looking at the girl with interest. — My brother told me a lot of good things about you. Thank you for saving his life all this time; if it weren't for you, he wouldn't be here, and I wouldn't have seen the light of day. So, I owe you just as much.

— Matthias-kun, — he nods. — Yes, thank you; today is interesting and fun. How about you?

— Well, you shouldn't talk like that; losing the ship is entirely my fault, from beginning to end. But that also belongs to the past, and in the present, I don't think it has anything to do with expressing gratitude. — opening the gates of the headquarters, the mountain dweller lets his companion pass. — But... you can help me if you want. To be honest, I'll have to improvise, so I doubt it will be something worthy of more than a second of their attention, but... The main thing is to do it from the heart and put your soul into it. Fortunately, our benefactors are not the kind of people who are unfamiliar with human nature.

— It's a pleasure to meet a colleague and comrade from a neighboring unit. If Anpan hasn't found you yet, I'd like to reiterate the information: today, Carneol, in my person, invites all interested friends from Akonia to his humble library. Of course, there are enough activities today, but if anything, you are welcome.
