I was going to say that he reminded me a lot of a Heroes fan in his communication style, but then I realized he was also talking about free food...
I literally said the same thing in real life today when I was invited to a corporate event.

- Are you going to play poker?
- Are you talking about the Carnelian faction?... For someone like them, it's too delicate a task. Her Grace didn't go there to fight, but to negotiate.
- Okay, let's do it.
- Carnelian? Yeah, probably. I haven't had much interaction with them. Maybe that's for the best. I realized after my recent trip to the south that I'm too jaded for all this. So it's better to resolve things peacefully and through diplomacy, if possible. Anyway, how about you? I think I saw an announcement from you in the guild...
— The Baron seems to me like a man who understood the harsh realities of the world and prepared his pupils for the trials ahead. No matter how skilled a warrior he was, he wouldn't always be there to protect them. And he's not young anymore. He raised his adopted children in such a way that they could confidently walk any path they chose. So, the Baldurians were very lucky with their father figure – I myself wouldn't refuse such a mentor. According to the stories, he seems like a very worthy person, although he is not always able to accurately convey his emotions.
-- Yes, he sometimes struggles with emotions, -- it wasn't clear whether this was a response to Alaria's thoughts or something of her own, girlish. It was only clear that the redhead felt a clear kinship with the Baron. -- Calentia is also a person of contradictions, whose rationality and strictness are a mask for caring about those around her. From the same episode with Hans, it is clear that she is one of the few who tries to reach out to a person's soul, and not fulfill her own whims, and her ability to stop herself in time proves this.
"Although the most rational thing would be to have a drink with him and, during the established trusting relationship, try to instill confidence in him and change his views on life. Unfortunately, this is an impossible move for underage orphanage children."
-- In general, yes, as I understand it, this story can be discussed for a long time
With a detached, warm smile, she observed the bonding episode between Trude and Akia. The priestess, with a slightly clouded expression and in a tone uncharacteristic of her since arriving in Anush, replied to the pilot so that only she could hear:
- I understand what you mean, but it is not up to third parties to decide. Her intense gaze lingered on the empty space for a few moments, as if she saw something there that was inaccessible to the ordinary human eye. And not to second parties, and not even to first parties like you and Akia. She thought she might have confused the semantics of this expression, but she wasn't in the Temple during a Nihongo lesson, so no one would hold her accountable for it. - One day, I will tell this story. But not today.
She continued in her usual manner:
- Do you really know their father? Although, I suppose that's not unexpected for Mitten. Hmm... - she added in a whisper. - Are there any lonely, fair-haired princes around here? Akia is looking. I'm sure there are, they just haven't met yet.

Tristan arrives at the meeting place.
- Hey, guys. I'm still not sure how I earned this invitation, but I won't refuse free food.
- Tristan-san, konnichiwa. You "earned" it because you are a good person and our comrade - obviously. Don't be shy, we have plenty. You know, EdgeLord-kun and I were thinking of visiting you yesterday, but somehow more time was spent than planned, so we couldn't. How are things going? I hope nothing unnecessary has appeared on the board. And yes, let me introduce you - this is Akia, and this is Emil-san. Although, perhaps it's unnecessary, and you already know each other.
Well, I guess I'll have to start a club for the disabled and those with limitations. We'll start by discussing the problems, and then ask the Academy administration to allocate subsidies to us.
—Carnelian? Yeah, probably. I haven't really had any dealings with them. Maybe it's for the best. I realized after that southern assignment that I'm just too jaded for all this. So, I'd rather resolve things peacefully through diplomacy, if possible. Anyway, how are you doing? I think I saw an announcement from you at the guild...
- Since there are no stakes, let's play some quick rounds.
Manin shuffles the deck and lays out the cards on the table.

- Do you remember how to play this version? You need to make the best combination out of six cards. You can exchange one card, two, or all three, but only in your hand... Oh, yes, the task. I have some spare money, so I decided to see what kind of greedy adventurers will come to try and earn it. I don't have any specific task.

- Excellent, thank you! Beata thinks for a moment and sets a budget of 1300 rem from her purse. And you're wondering why, half a thread ago, I posted a picture of Harley and Nightwing in response to the question of how Gion finds the strength to support Beata.

She continues in her usual manner: - Do you really know their father? Although, I suppose that's not unexpected for Mitten. Hmm... - she adds in a whisper. - Are there any single, eligible bachelors around here? Akia is looking. I'm sure there are, they just haven't met yet. - Tristan-san, konnichiwa. You "deserved" him because you're a good person and our comrade - obviously. Don't hesitate, we have plenty. You know, EdgeLord-kun and I were thinking of visiting you yesterday, but somehow more time was consumed than planned, so it didn't work out. How are things going?

- Okay, don't be upset, - the pilot waved her hand, - these emotions don't suit anyone, and especially not you. Following her companion's example, Heidi switches to a normal, audible tone for the others. - I know, I know, but not personally. You won't believe it, but in this city, not only Trude is cooking, and I sometimes see him at the fish market, selling. And a bachelor... Well, here he is, Tristan just arrived. - She says, referring to Tristan. - Or is he not suitable? - She asks Akia, but she blushed and didn't answer.
- Oh, and she really is a mermaid. Hello. - She waves to her. - I won't say anything about the bachelor, but today I was called a freeloader. The neighbor's old woman said that instead of spending all day in the guild, I could help with all this work, like chopping wood, carrying water, and so on. On the one hand, I can agree with her, but on the other... Who will solve the issues in the guild then?

- Thank you, goodbye! The couple heads to "Hellfire".
- Yes, that's right. Haven't you two gotten married yet?
- Alas! - Beata spread her hands.
- We've scheduled the wedding for the end of the month... - Gion sighed. - We'll have to wait a little longer...
- But your rings are wonderful! We will definitely use them and wear them! And your blacksmithing skills have brought us back to you again...
- Yes. I would like to order a new set of armor for myself; I don't feel quite secure without it. Something like this, practical, light, so that I can wear it without needing a perk for heavy armor, and durable. Something that will reliably protect me and, in addition to some percentage of protection, also provide buffs to willpower or some other defenses, I don't know. My budget is 1200 Rem, so I'll be happy with anything that fits within that. - He smiled.
- And I need a crossbow; I've been running around half the city and haven't found anything decent, and I don't have time to go anywhere... Something like this, so that it's easy to aim and hits hard enough to knock enemies off their feet on critical hits. And it should be more durable, at least have some chance of not falling apart in my hands after being hit by an enemy... And I'll be happy with anything, really. My budget is... - Beata counts her money. - Gion, do you have any Rem?
- Here, I'm giving you my last one, with all my heart, - Gion dramatically hands over a coin.
- My budget is 1000 Rem, - Beata lays out the money.
