☀️ Arselia and Akonia

On the way to Inferno, someone calls out to the couple.

- Hey.
The source of the voice was a lower lunar elf accompanied by several unfamiliar people – if he strains his memory, Gion might recall that it was a sorceress named Ivelittia, one of his previous mistress's friends.

In the few seconds that felt like hours to her, Beata assesses the situation and Gion's mental state, noting his twitching eye and the graying of his hair. - Hmm, what happened? - she replies, not moving to maintain distance. Meanwhile, Gion controls his twitching eye, suppresses the graying with sheer willpower, calls upon all his composure and acting skills, and pretends that he is seeing this lunar elf for the first time, but just in case, he subtly positions himself close to Beata.
