Why was Alisa in Orchidia...? Blue Pegasus had now become the de facto rulers of Hargeon, and yet, they'd only just recently got as far as having a say in just about every part of the city, even if they were growing closer by the second. They couldn't quite do everything in their power to improve the lives of the citizens until they brought the whole city into the fold, after all... And yet here was their guildmaster, slowly striding into the nearby swimming pool, casually spending her magic power in little more than her own enjoyment:
"How could I ever miss out on such a beautiful day...", mused the lithomancer, smile widening as she approached one of the lounge chairs, taking a deep breath as she delighted in the fresh air of Magnolia. The spring had only just come, but after the clear skies and sunny days of the past few weeks, the weather felt more like a mild summer than than early spring, making the shimmering swimming pool in front of her a very inviting spot to laze around for an hour or two.
But then, Alisa could certainly do this Hargeon, so why spend her time thought projecting into Orchidia? She felt like she had to see this, take a look at the city closer to her hometown, wondering how it had been faring now that the guilds had a say in every city... And secretly wished Blue Pegasus influence could stretch this far north... It couldn't... Instead she could do little more than watch, much like how she'd been doing in Magnolia lately. War between the guilds was as inevitable as the very essence of war itself, from the very moment when they became masters of their respected domains, and the door was open to future expansion. On one side, an ancient ally of Blue Pegasus and another one of the oldest light guilds in Fiore... On the other, Daeva Eye, a guild she had a personal investment in. As a feminist herself, she found something oddly empowering in a guild made by women, for women, even if their methods at times seemed... Dubious at best. But even then, Magnolia itself seemed at peace. Whatever approach Deave Eye had taken, it seemed they were at least taking care to respect the citizens of Magnolia:
"It feels... More peaceful than I imagined~...", noted the sculptress, for once musing about the two very disctinct cities in much the same fashion, delighting in the cool, gentle breeze brushing against her smooth skin as she unbuttoned her white blouse, in the sweltering sunbeams, revealing the sporty, full body one piece swimsuit she clad herself in, hugging her tight and toned form, highlighting her generous, curvaceous figure as she draped her clothes on her lounge chair, fingertips sliding under the edges of her swimwear, adjusting it with every step as she neared the edge of the pool, and dove gracefully into it...
