— The idea isn't bad, although I'm not sure if I should take on this job, considering that some of my plans for today require physical effort, — the girl admitted, — but if I change my mind, I might drop by later.

After saying goodbye to Doris, Kalentia headed to the Temple of Arteria to give Almandine one of the gifts for her birthday. The second gift, which she and Anselm had planned together, was to be given later (off-screen, at the end of the phase).
— Happy Birthday, — the girl smiled, handing the priestess the "Kiss of Arteria," which she had bought earlier in Tamphan. — I immediately thought of you when I saw it.
Off-screen joint gift — a song, the lyrics of which were written by Kalentia, while Anselm composed the music and performed it (including vocals).

- Big cities are not for me... - he sighed heavily. - I didn't wander around much there. It's impossible to squeeze through the crowd on a narrow street without feeling the sticky-sweaty touch of their bodies... You can't hear your own thoughts, there's nothing to breathe... The only good thing is that they have some concept of nature there. In the form of a statue of a river nymph. But that's just a trace of their more advanced ancestors. Almost all of the current ones believe only in money and violence. They built an arena for themselves where thugs fight for the amusement of the local rabble. In general, there's nothing to do there.
With these words, Veserod tried the cake and his face changed dramatically, as he felt such an unfamiliar taste.

— M-hmm, yes, that's a question, — Alessia pondered something, and after a few seconds, unexpectedly for herself, she suddenly blurted out. — You know, these two orders have strange fates. The king, a man of a very difficult character, intends to give something for the wedding of the one who rejected his grandson. He must be irritated by the mere mention of the upcoming marriage and the thought of Teya Bors evokes feelings in him that are far from warm. As for the queen, she recently stated in an interview that her husband will soon be well again. Unexpected words, which, according to the author, were accompanied by some kind of malicious grimaces, barely perceptible. Jan Dere is certainly not the brightest of minds, but what if all the ominous things he somehow saw are true? Strange words from the queen. Her eternal youth. Now her absurd demand is a gift for a living corpse. Of course, I didn't tell you that. Sometimes even walls have ears, — Alessia exhaled.
— All this, of course, does not mean that I will not take it on. It's just... strange.

Anders opened his mouth:
-Eeeee... aren't you, well... one of them?

Okay, enough tormenting myself. Returning to normal activities should help calm down and gather my thoughts. Rohei made a conscious effort to block out the endless thoughts that kept flooding his mind, after which he left the house and headed to the clinic.

Shopping in Tamphan before leaving:
A souvenir wooden figurine-copy of the statue of the river nymph (alternative: photo, drawing) for Alrik
A hair clip - as a gift for Elsa
A book suitable for the age (adventure literature? Ideally, a script for a play about Rogdan, which they staged, if it could be quickly made/found) for Homeric
That very (hopefully) indestructible flower in the store for 50 selics - for Yua.
^Distributed to the recipients almost immediately upon arrival.
Some kind of sharpening stone, polishing paste, and other tools for weapon care.
Something tasty that is not available in Baldur, x(a lot)

Gulveyg got up and went first to the temple, forgetting to have breakfast for the umpteenth time these days.

handing the priestess the "Kiss of the Artery" he had previously bought in Thamphane.

— Oh, these Tamfanians really know how to live. — Alrik commented, taking the gift in his hands. — I also like the Artery in our city, but it would be better if the sculptor gave her less clothing. Thank you, Gulveyg! Don't forget to bring something next time too!
Elsa was pleased with the unexpected gift, but she was too shy, so she limited herself to simple words of gratitude.
Homeric, in turn, was still too upset that Vergil had left Baldur, so he only weakly thanked Gulveyg.
Yua seemed to be the most happy with the gift and promised to cherish and protect it.
Gulveyg also bought some Tamfanian candies.

There were many people in the church today. Some came to congratulate the priestess on her birthday, while others came to donate money or other valuables.

— Thank you, Gulveig. I will definitely try them today!

— What made you think that my interest in demonology would lead to that? — Victor smirked. — That's very naive of you. We already discussed this before, and I told you that a specific mindset or life circumstances are needed to make a contract with a demon. For example, I tend to believe that a person is ennobled by free will, voluntary work, and the responsibility they take for themselves and the society they are a part of. I prefer to achieve everything through my own efforts and have enjoyed every day of my life. What, in your opinion, could demons offer a person like me?

— This isn't like you, Alessia. — Cecilia remarked after listening to the student's monologue. — I don't know who this Jan Dere is or what he's famous for, but I am somewhat familiar with the Queen — she's a terrifying woman. She presents herself as kind and generous, like the ideal of a wise and beloved monarch, but don't be fooled: behind Sophia der Grosse's angelic smile and gentle words lies cold, sharp steel. I don't know what's going on with King Albert, but there's no reason to believe he'll suddenly regain his ability to think. Although it's not a confirmed fact, the court has long believed that the Queen dresses up for her husband, even though, it seems, why would she? Given his condition. — The craftswoman sighed wearily. — As for Gaheris, I'll say this: let the child amuse himself as long as it doesn't interfere with our work. For powerful old men like him, someone like Teia Bors is nothing more than a toy, and therefore, I don't think he has any negative feelings towards her.

— Mmm... Hmm... Oh, Anselm! — Yua greeted the boy cheerfully. — Uncle Matthias just told me about sanctuaries... Oops, I mean, abodes... Ah, mm, eee... S-A-N-C-T-U-A-R-I-E-S. For example, Grandpa Gungnir prays to Arteria, and brother Veserod and sister Eir honor the spirits of nature. Why is this necessary?

In the clinic's hall, Ryohei was greeted by a familiar setting, a customary atmosphere, and the familiar face of Mira. This time, however, she didn't even acknowledge him with a greeting.
