—It's not a big deal... I think it's possible. —Ilva replied after a moment of thought. —Or at least, I'd like to believe it is. But for that to happen, both loving people must not only be genuinely pure in their actions and thoughts, but also completely complement each other's hearts and souls. Which, of course, is quite rare...
— And what about... the first touch of fingers, the first shy kiss, the exciting loss of innocence? All these events strengthen your bond with the man of your heart and create special, unique memories that accompany you for many years... They say that any experience is useful, but sometimes I wish I could be as naive as I was in childhood.
Added 4 minutes later I'll write about the casino (in case Alessia and Eyr are taken as slaves or something else...) after the group confirms the skip.
I'm willing to pay for those who want to stay at the hotel (for a week), but I'm too lazy to calculate the prices and check the room details.
—Yes, perhaps. Well, naivety is fleeting and cannot be brought back, but there is still hope... Of course, it might sound very silly coming from me, but I think it's better to look forward than to look back. And, who knows, maybe it will be possible to find something that seemed to be lost forever...
Eyr sat on the curb in the middle of Culture Street, staring blankly at a piece of paper in her hands.
"How did this happen..." she muttered. Occasionally, riders and, less frequently, carriages would pass by, but she paid them no attention.
Fleeing what she thought, in a moment of panic, was Alessia's pursuit, Eyr signed the contract offered by the head bunny without even glancing at it, just to hide in a wardrobe. Then, when Alessia finished her business and left, it turned out that she now had to entertain guests at the casino with a dance... for a whole three weeks. Her own stupidity, combined with the disappointment of not being able to visit the local fighting club, noticeably soured her mood, but at first, she decided that, all in all, it wasn't so bad, especially since they paid well at "Lalique," and she certainly knew how to move her body. Then, when Sarah showed her a photo of the costume she would have to wear, Eyr's head seemed to spin.
"So, the pole is... a kind of weapon, right? Ha-ha..."
"I suppose you could say that: a weapon whose brilliance our dancers use to dazzle customers and win their hearts. I think it would be better if you saw it for yourself."
After one of the employees measured Eyr's figure, she also led the girl to the lounge area and showed her what her job would entail.
It looked something like this, with adjustments for other costumes:
The picture that appeared before her eyes and the horror that awaited her this evening made her face as red as her hair. All that remained was to hope that none of her acquaintances would recognize her. Overwhelmed by what had happened, Eyr entered a beauty salon and, out of curiosity, ordered a manicure in her favorite color, noting to herself that the result didn't look too bad... After that, she went to a hotel, paid for a room for a week in advance, and lay down in bed, dreading the time of her shift.
—Yes, perhaps. Well, naivety is fleeting and cannot be brought back, but there is still hope... Of course, it might sound very silly coming from me, but I think it's better to look forward than to look back. And, who knows, maybe I can find something that seemed to be lost forever...
— Only old age and loneliness await ahead. — The girl said gloomily. — In my younger years, I often dreamed of meeting a handsome young man, of spending time together, of getting married and having many happy children, but upon reaching adulthood and joining the order, I had to give up on these hopes. — Bouvardia sighed heavily, gathering her thoughts. — Then I decided that if such a future was not available to me, then at least I would be a desirable seductress, capable of captivating any man. Ha-ha, it seems Arteria decided to punish me for such audacity.

Added 2 minutes later Ilva listened to Buvardia's monologue without interrupting, unsure how to find the right words. There was such a vast chasm between their fates that any understanding was out of the question. All words of support or sympathy would remain mere empty sounds, unable to break through the abyss of bitter truth into which her acquaintance was plunging her soul. —Listen, I... —she finally said. —I don't know what I would think or feel in your place. Perhaps I wouldn't even be able to come to terms with the idea of such a future. I'm not a very strong person, after all. But I believe, —she hesitantly placed her hand on her shoulder and turned away, —no, I definitely know that there will still be light ahead. And that... Arteria will definitely smile at you again. And that I, well, we all in Baldr will always be ready to help you in any way we can.
Ilva listened intently to Buvardia's monologue, unsure how to choose the right words.
Ilva remained silent. Perhaps Buvardia thought of her as a strong and taciturn girl, but she simply didn't know how to respond to this sudden monologue.

— ... Thank you, Ilva. — In the end, the two seekers didn't find the tree they were looking for. — I feel like moving my body. Want to work out with me?
