☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Thank you, Klin! We're fellow countrymen, we stand together! But are you sure? I've already parted with this armor of my own free will, and it feels a bit awkward to take it back after everything that's happened.

—Come on. —he waved his hand. —Even if it were a hint from the universe, I wouldn't be able to gather that much power anyway. So, it's better if you two look out for each other than for it to gather dust in the inventory. Besides, being a guardian is a dangerous job, so take care.

- So far, thankfully, everything is fine, we're settling in, - Anpan explained, - but it seems that in about a week we'll be sent to the Neferian front, so it's unknown when we'll be able to meet again.

—Hmm, I thought this was planned as a "righteous" quest... —he hummed thoughtfully. —Well, I'm glad to see that you've taken care of protection from all sorts of nastiness. And as for the rest... We wanted to get together sometime and just sit and chat. Now the only question is whether it's better to do it before you leave, or on the contrary, after you return... Maybe even the latter, so that there's an extra incentive for everyone to return safe and sound. That's my first decree as a Count, so there you have it!
