☀️ Arselia and Akonia

– Huh? – the Nozenrotka was surprised. – No, I always try to vote blindly and look for certain criteria based on my own impressions, and being open to new things is important...

– Blade, Sanex... – she nodded. – Excuse me for another interruption, would you like to rate the exhibits at the technology exhibition on a scale of 1 to 10? A request from Amamius.

Hugging Pillow (Sonata Reim)
– The design is certainly well-made and cute, but... Was permission given to use her image on it, or is it illegal? Secondly, why a pillow? Isn't a pillow meant for the head? And why "hug" it? It's not a living person. It's like lying in bed with a corpse. I really don't understand, sorry.

– What kind of "similar" things...? – she hesitated, shrugging her shoulders. – No, I... I wish I could say that wasn't the case, or brush it off by saying that I was influenced by the local culture... But I guess you can't hide a cat in a bag.

With a light, noncommittal smile, she watches Azarina stuff her cheeks with uevas:
– Looking at you, I feel like you're almost my... little sister. No matter how many years pass, I don't think anything will change... Hmm... Does the city of Calvad exist? I mean... Of course, it exists, I meant... It seems to be the last city I remember. Has anything... "happened" to it?
