☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- I... I like it, -- said the pillar, fanning herself. -- You're absolutely right, learning from other people and cultures is perfectly reasonable. It's easier to hide embarrassment with a fan than with your hand, and besides, the dress has open shoulders and a side slit, as if it were made for someone who goes straight from a ball to a battle. Or maybe that's exactly what it is, and all the Mindjins have a passion for espionage in their blood? )

-- Meanwhile, so far, all the events have been focused on male attention towards females. I appreciate the attention, but I'm waiting for an opportunity to show off some of my own ingenuity in return... I wonder what it will be? Maybe they'll let you dress up too? )

- Maybe nothing like that will happen. It all depends on the organizer's will.

--Well... that's how I see it. 😅 What do you think?

For a while, Sanexa stared at her reflection in the mirror with dead fish eyes and didn't react at all. She had many memories associated with this outfit, mostly good ones, but also very bad ones.

Slowly regaining her composure, she first shook her head from side to side, and then slapped herself on the cheeks.
- Perhaps... Perhaps you're right. I probably won't be able to step into the future without coming to terms with my past... Thank you, Klin... I would never have decided to do this on my own... Shall we go to the others?..

- H... Haa... - replies Aiyano. - I just... don't understand the point within the framework of a competitive contest... Are we voting for something, or...?

- Maybe it's not competitive at all? Well, the questions won't answer themselves, so let's go back to the others.

Yun dressed his partner as follows:


And Jun decided that his companion is beautiful even in her standard outfit:


After a while, Cupid gathered all the couples together, and they finally had the opportunity to see each other in new (and not so new) outfits.
- Oh, Beeeata, - Kilika purred contentedly, looking at the other Carnelian, - how cute.
- Is this what an artist's vision means? - Sanexa, overcoming her inner trepidation, examined Rikumera's outfit. - This is... very unusual.
