☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- No, no, everything is fine. Hmm, charisma is almost there, but can it be improved with experience to reach the desired twenty?

-- In general... Do you know Anna Roa from "The Drowned"? What do you think of her? She is currently looking for a husband who would be approved by her parents, and I couldn't help but think of you... I hope it doesn't sound too strange? Nowadays, it is a recognized standard that people find partners on their own, but you know, traditionally, there were helpers in this matter, usually parents, and in a sense, we girls have dared to take on a similar function.

- I suddenly became curious - how deep does this rivalry go? If she goes on a second date, will you have to go on one too? And if she suddenly becomes his lover? And if she becomes his wife, will you also become his wife?

— Hmm-hmm. You're quite the businessman, aren't you, even though it doesn't seem like it at first glance. — Harold grinned with an unpleasant smirk.

— Ah, dark dealings. That explains why there's no advertisement for such a job. — Garrett said understandingly. — So, Grigory, do you want to embark on a slippery path? We ourselves have sinned, so it's not up to us to judge. But it is within my competence to warn you based on personal experience. How, in your opinion, did this fable end when my brother and I went down that path? We were both taken out in a dark alley, and that's the whole story. And some were even taken out more than once, so think about it. That's why here, in Anuzish, we are now clean, we don't get involved in shady business, and that's why we are still alive today.
