- You really don't need to, - Ayano agrees, patting her shoulder approvingly and sympathetically before removing her hand and stroking it. - Thank you for understanding. Well... then, see you later. I'll go look for my colleague.

- I understand you perfectly... In general, life in Carneole is great. Wonderful people, a cozy atmosphere, we're almost like family. But as soon as a new task appears, it's like taking a vacation. - Yeah, but if we take a vacation, our General scaly friend won't leave a single stone unturned in the entire empire. So, we have to save the world. If not us, then who. - Guiosh, I still think you should really leave here on the first flight. - Beat, I've already said everything on this topic >_> You won't get rid of me, don't even think about it. - Oh, you fool...
What a fun bunch. I wonder if Sir Quant is also in their squad? - Klin glanced at the quiet chronomancer. Doesn't seem like it. It probably isn't very comfortable to go visit a colleague and end up at a reunion where you don't know anyone. And he wouldn't want anything extra to be said about Her Brightness's affairs in his presence. On the other hand, these are professionals of the highest caliber; the foolish knight is just getting worked up again. —It's nice to hear that, cohesion, as they say, is the key to success. And I've heard about the lizard, and even caught a glimpse of it, although everything happened too quickly to determine anything definitively. I believe that our glorious empire is not going to forgive such a treacherous attack.
So, a chance encounter, and now we have to lay all our cards on the table. It's not that Klyn was planning to hide anything – the right-hand enforcer of the presumed leader inspired awe, but there was something comforting in knowing about your companions when they knew nothing about you. On the other hand, they were all working towards the same goal, so perhaps all this political maneuvering was unnecessary, especially with the first princess's private military group. —It's quite cozy, that's true. And the hosts are hospitable. —He cast an assessing glance at the other Carnelians. I wonder, are they all summoned like Garret?... —And I only came here as a colleague of Lady Erefir. I'm on indefinite leave from service, let's say. —the knight explained briefly.
— Oh, it's wonderful to have good colleagues. I'm glad you got along, although I'm not surprised. —nodding to the redhead, Garret moved a cup of hot tea closer to himself. —You said you're on leave? That's good. There should be a moment of peace in life, no matter how righteous and important the service may be. A small sip... Oh, this would hardly be to the liking of the cold ones. —You know, I once told my brother – only the sleeping will awaken, but you won't sleep. There wasn't any particular deep meaning in that, I think you understand... And yet, when the sleeping one awakens, the first moments are as if he's still there, the images of dreams are experienced so vividly, whether it's the darkest nightmare or pleasant, bright dreams. And he himself, who is he at that moment, a figure from oblivion, balancing on the border between sleep and reality... Perhaps this very dragon, threatening the empire, something like that, a creature of nightmare, continues its destructive dream in reality to the grief of all who are awake. Having finished his tea, he put the cup on the table and, with a slight smile, raised his index finger. —Well, these are just idle thoughts, hehe. But business is business, the horn calls, and so on. Blessed are those who can close their eyes without worry and wake up in the morning with a clear head, although I doubt there are many such people among the inhabitants of Margel now. However, our brave squad will not stand aside in a difficult hour, and perhaps this time, Carnel is destined not just to serve the patron, but to accomplish a great good for ordinary people. To be honest, I didn't think I would ever be involved in something like this, but... Times are changing. And if I can turn the course of history for the better, I will do it, and I have no doubt that each of us feels the same. Resolutely hitting his fist against his open palm, Garret, with a suddenly burning light in his eyes, glanced somewhere far through the walls of the headquarters, somewhere where the most dangerous and hopeless monster was located. —And what about you, Klyn? Since you're on leave, maybe it's better to spend it away from Welfern until things calm down here? Spend some quiet time at a resort or something. Especially since you're not bound by deadlines... Unless, of course, something important is keeping you here.
—You know, I once told my brother that only those who are asleep will awaken, but you are not asleep. There wasn't any particularly deep meaning behind it, I think you understand...

Perhaps this very dragon, threatening the empire, something like that, a creation of a nightmare, continues its destructive dream in reality, to the sorrow of all who are awake.
—That's an interesting thought. I'll probably even jot it down in my notebook to think about it properly later. —Klin takes out his diary and makes a short note. —Sleep and reality, yes, lately I've been thinking more and more about it myself. —"Because I can't sleep anymore myself," the knight added to himself. —Then let's hope that this "nightmare" ends soon, before it claims any more victims.

—Well, these are just idle thoughts, heh. But business is business, duty calls, and so on. Those who can close their eyes without worry and wake up in the morning with a clear head are fortunate, although I doubt there are many such people among the inhabitants of Margel right now. However, our brave squad will not stand aside in a difficult hour, and perhaps this time, Karneol is destined not just to serve his patron, but to accomplish a great good for ordinary people. To be honest, I didn't think I would ever be involved in something like this, but... times are changing. And if I can turn the course of history for the better, I will do it, and I have no doubt that each of us feels the same.
—I'm pleasantly surprised to hear such words, Garret. To be honest, when we first met, I assessed you as not a very reliable person... Don't be offended, that's in the past. But now I see that I was wrong. The main thing is, as a wise companion once advised me, "don't get too carried away with heroism." The common good is an important matter, but you never know when luck will turn away from you. Author
—And what about you, Klin? Since you're on leave, maybe it would be better to spend it away from Welfern until things calm down here? Spend some quiet time at a resort or something like that. Especially since you're not bound by any deadlines... Unless, of course, something important is keeping you here.
—That's a good idea, maybe I'll do that in the end. But... I wouldn't want to leave the city for such a reason. It would be like a cowardly rat being driven out of its burrow. I will leave Margel of my own free will, and not because of the enemy who has come to take over our home. And as Sir Quant noticed today, we shouldn't give in to panic. Even though I'm not in the best shape for combat right now, I can still be useful, at least at work.
*Carniol* -- It's amazing, of course, -- Erefir commented on the unexpected meeting between Klin and Garret. -- Sometimes I get the feeling that half the city works under Her Highness, and we have so much in common. Hmm, I hope you don't think that we have some kind of network of shadow people with deer or something, if that's the case, I don't know about it)). It's just that the charisma of the Suzerain obviously attracts the best people, and there are quite a few of them here in Margel.Author
- I understand you... In general, Carniol is great. Wonderful people, a cozy atmosphere, we are almost like a family. But as soon as a new task appears, you might as well take a vacation. - Yeah, but if we take a vacation, our scaly friend won't leave a single stone unturned in the entire empire.

Under the table, Erefir nudged Guiosh with her knee. No, but is it really normal to publicly divide the spoils of an unkilled dragon, what kind of joke is that? ) "If we take a vacation," these are the saviors of humanity, people are just visiting, and they are telling heroic tales about themselves. It's a different story when and if we succeed...Author
Well, as Sir Quant noticed today, don't panic. Although I'm not in the best shape right now in terms of combat readiness, I can still be useful, at least at work.
-- Uh-huh. Working hands are definitely needed now... I'm curious about the current political situation; as far as I know, members of the council were injured in the attack. Apparently, during such a crisis, certain administrative procedures should be launched to stabilize the situation, but I didn't have time to study the issue in detail. Surely, there have been similar situations in the history of the empire before.
*Villa*Author
- Unfortunately, Erefir, I know little more about the affairs of the Church than you do. So, turning to Patriarch Eugene may indeed be a good idea.
-- My lady, in that case, I would like to do so. I am very ashamed that, despite your praise, I cannot come up with some new, rational plan of action that does not depend on a genie in a lamp and is reliable enough.
"The irony is that in my past life, I wasn't particularly good at strategy. I just observe the enemy, and then I catch him at a suitable moment with suitable equipment, and that's it... But how do you catch someone who can defeat you just by seeing you with spiritual, penetrating vision that goes through any matter? I was ready for such a turn, but I still couldn't come up with a countermeasure, hoping that there would be a way to lure the dragon to a place where the priests would not harm us. But then there's Farellia... It's not a place for such hopes."
-- In any case, we need any information that His Eminence can provide. Allow me to proceed.
- Ah, Ms. Deputy Director, I've been waiting for you. First, we need to decide what you'll be working on. At the moment, I can offer you the following two options:
– Uh-huh. Skilled workers are probably needed right now... I wonder what the current political situation is. As far as I heard, members of the council were injured in the attack. Apparently, certain administrative procedures should be initiated during such a crisis to stabilize the situation, but I didn't have time to study the issue in detail. Surely, there have been similar situations in the history of the empire before.
– If the newspaper publishing house is still open, it might be worth buying the latest issue. If we're lucky, we might be able to learn more about the current political situation from it.
