Posts from ☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Literally. The question is simple. How do you envision your life together?
— It's... well, just like everyone else? We have our own cozy estate, a beautiful garden, many happy and healthy children, we grow old together and watch our grandchildren grow up...
- Wonderful. But what if Bajena doesn't want any of that?
- Mr. Zaum, please tell me, what do you want from your bride?
-- Well, in that case, I leave it entirely up to you, -- the dwarf smiled to herself. -- Thank you for your trust. Indeed, our professionalism and ability to emerge alive from a successfully won battle depend solely on ourselves. And yes, you are right, I volunteered for this task, but I hope that Your Highness readily accepted this initiative, and I was flattered by your approval, as well as everything you do for us, -- a curtsy.
"In any case, Her Highness had reasons to be interested in this, but it is pointless to continue asking about it now. Carnelian has barely lived up to Their Highness's expectations to have information about any other motives, that is clear."
The lack of an answer to the question regarding Aiyano Aiko, she took as a sign that everything was probably fine with the priestess. It would be impolite, in any case, to ask the crowned person about it again.
-- Will I burden Your Highness if I ask about two things: any information, however modest, that may be useful if our next opponent is, by chance or not, the Apostle of Akonia. And secondly, of course, whether Your Highness wishes to entrust us with a new mission now, or whether we should prepare ourselves for the time being?
— For now, rest and regain your strength.
— ... What do you mean? How is that possible?.. We're... engaged...
Raphael shrugged.
- Well, she just doesn't want to. And judging by everything, she doesn't want it badly enough that she ran away all the way to Margel.
- Chimera's blessing... - Aiyano is lost for words for a moment, unsure how to react. - You are very kind, but to be honest, I don't quite understand the reason for this generous gesture... You provided me with food and shelter, and even agreed to the construction of a Sanctuary - a center of power for the "Maiden Yanagi," and the meaning of her existence in the world of humans. This is already many times more than I could have hoped for. If this is a matter of gratitude for helping to capture the captain of the guard, then I simply did what my life's path required. And besides, anyone in my place, having witnessed... what happened... would have done the same. Not to mention that... - she lowers her voice in embarrassment to an almost inaudible murmur. - ...the potential of such luxury will be wasted on someone like me...
Realizing that wandering around the city without a translator wasn't the most sensible activity, and it was already late, Alaria spends the evening taking another bath. Perhaps it will even improve her circulation and bring about some useful thoughts. And if not... at least she'll gather strength for tomorrow.
While NPCs are dying of thirst in the desert, player characters are taking baths for stat boosts...
Raphael shrugged.
- Well, she just doesn't want to. And judging by how strongly she doesn't want to, she ran away all the way to Margel.
Raphael shrugged.
- Well, she just doesn't want to. And judging by how strongly she doesn't want to, she ran away all the way to Margel. It's such a backwater... you can't even imagine. There's a maniac operating there who single-handedly cut down half the guard. People are being murdered in their villas at night. And she ran here, away from you.
