☀️ Arselia and Akonia

—A painting? — the redhead didn't understand. —No, that's not really my problem. And the painting isn't an allegory of someone's mood, but a real landscape...

—As you say... 😑

—No, it's unlikely that we can just pretend it didn't happen. The thing is, this person was at a casino, and it's probably not a good idea to make outright enemies of these wealthy people, for the sake of the common good. But I understand you, it seems like just giving them all the equipment and saying goodbye is out of the question... Then we'll just have to hope that another solution will appear over time, I don't know how else, — he sighed. —If there are no other ideas, thank you for the consultation, dear secretary.

—Ah, so you got mixed up in something at a casino. —he chuckled, shaking his head. —A little more interesting than the usual "bandits," and probably only the heavily guarded banks in the Empire are tougher. I'd say there's a nine out of ten chance that everything they're doing is legal, and your "person" is already in deep legal trouble, but you can ask them directly, — usually, in situations this obvious, they won't even bother to lie. And after that, it's just government agencies and escalation, and I don't have enough knowledge of the law to help you here; you need someone who's specifically knowledgeable in this area. As for ideas... well, you could just withdraw your name from the list of participants. Just kidding, if that's the case, don't even go there, it will consume you. —he warns.
