-Yes, it seems our pursuers won't give up so easily. And who knows whose head they'll target next, although it's already clear that everyone should be on their guard after what happened. In any case, the eye we took from Hodges will be very helpful to us. We should also keep an eye on the released bandit; who knows if he has any accomplices left. Oh, by the way, Dalia," Sarnissa added after a moment of thought. "I saw you had an interesting book on magical techniques developed in Yokeithan. To be honest, I've never encountered this kind of magic before, and I would be very grateful if you could lend it to me for a while. I think I could learn something useful from it." Then, Sarnissa turned to the samurai, who had recently joined the group but had already gained his first combat experience: -Respected Iwamoto, I would like to thank you for your help in the battle. Without you, we would have had a hard time with this," she nodded towards Desay's body. "I know you wanted to learn, uh, the art of diplomacy, or rather, how to effectively negotiate with people. As you can see, we now have an opening for a treasurer, and I would like to offer you this position. I think it's a very beneficial offer, don't you?" Next, she approached Lawrence. -Your mistress is now dead, and you are no longer bound by her spells, so you can choose your own path in life. And although I wouldn't want to further reduce our already depleted group, I will still ask about your future plans. We can escort you to the nearest town, if you wish. And, as you understand, Ilayassa can lift the curse from you and bring you back to life, if that is what you desire. The decision is yours." Finally, she approached Asanmir. -It was a difficult battle, wasn't it? I think you understand perfectly well that with your wounds and after so many years spent in this prison, it will be difficult for you to survive on your own, as well as to help us... to the best of your ability. I offer you the opportunity to regain your former strength. Of course, this is risky, but if anything happens, Ilayassa will help us, as she promised. What do you think of this offer?
