“At the time I thought that such a thing was a foolish notion, how could something so precious be abandoned, surely we weren’t the first to explore deep into that tomb. And we weren’t, for such a treasure was guarded by an eldritch abomination…I was lucky to escape alive one time at a huge cost, but either by foolishness or determination I wouldn’t just return empty handed…”

🌺 Tell me a preconeption/headcanon you have for one of my characters... 🌺

And I’ll rate how accurate it is on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being way off and 10 being basically canon!

"Even the tallest men with the broadest shoulders and shiniest armor started as a boy wielding sticks and fighting beasts of the imagination. I wonder what your childhood was like that you have transformed into a righteous knightly guard-for-hire?"

“Am I truly a righteous guard?”

The bodyguard snickered lightly

“I think the truth is far from it, I’ve been called ruthless, cold even, but I suppose I am a bit soft hearted for a mercenary, regardless, my childhood wasn’t one where I dreamed of being some hero, I struggled to survive as a ‘dock rat’ in Limsa. My childhood was nothing warm or comfortable, when my uncle took..care of me, I was filled with determination though.

I wanted revenge, nay more than that, I wanted an end to the curse that brought the first tragedy of my life, and for that I had a role to play, I had to be strong, I had to be cunning, I had to be ruthless…in the end my dream of a better and safer Eorzea turned into a nightmare, I was just a pawn, and yet that doesn’t take away my culpability.

And worse the woman I love died because of me, but that’s why I haven’t given up on my sword, because I have a duty, to live, and see this story until my death comes. Besides, I have a few scores to settle…”

“These last few days have been rather wonderful, I recently got to know a young Lominsan Lady whose name is Lily Gildrose, I had met her a couple of months back, as she was on te quicksand, my first impressions were that she seemed naive, but also kind. I met her on a couple of more occasions…but it wasn’t until recently when I was out in the shroud seeking the help from a Lalafel that I encountered her, the weather was harsh and we took shelter in Buscarron’s, we talked for hours, and things seemed to go smoothly. Quite so…but at one moment when she held my hand, and smiled at me. I suppose I couldn’t resist.

I’m not one to believe in love at first sight, maybe its the fact that I’ve felt lonely, that after my break up with Scarlett, and the fact that not even Sasha would look at me anymore, just…I hate that loneliness, and I kept telling myself that it was for the best, and yet that single touch, that smile…warmed my heart.

It’s been a few days since then, and whenever we meet we enjoy our time together, and frankly haven’t felt this happy in a long while, I just don’t want to ruin it, I don’t…gods I have fallen in love…all in the blink of an eye. I hope it lasts longer than that, I’m afraid it won’t, because of me, as usual…but I’ll try my best to make this work”

Chasing the Black Claw

“A letter arrived yesterday, it came from Thorne, apparently HIM is moving once again, I shouldn’t be surprised, with the reports of Garlean activities in the Sea of Clouds and beyond, as well as the rumors going on about the Empire, it was to be expected that -HE- would make a move again.”

“But this time HE will probably be even harder to catch, the fact that -THAT MAN- escaped the Ambush that Thorne and myself prepared, leaves much to wonder, perhaps…could it be that he is keeping an eye on me? if so…those close to me are in danger…”

“I must eliminate him before he strikes…but how? he knows well how I think…he knows how I operate, dammit…I don’t want to rely on others, if I do…and if he reveals what I’ve done,who I am…what then? Will I end up in a gaol for life? or getting the noose on highbridge? I could look for Sasha’s aid…but I don’t think she would”
