Being the complicated, often cross time and universe adventures of Baidar Oroq, Warrior of Light, Reaper, and Bladesworn to Venat. The home of the Harvest of Souls multiversal AU, with occasional nods towards the major content of Final Fantasy XIV. Likes/follows from shadow-jack.
Trying to do the Resistance relic for monk because glam is cool.
Stuck on times worn artifact.
I'm... pretty sure its impossible to do now that it isn't current.
Because you need 15 of them. 3 drop from delubrum reginae... but no one running this anymore. Impossible to get a pf going nor to have even 2 people in the queue.
Or, other solution is... PoD? Bur its uncertain. I ma aged to get two run through party finder? In... 3 weeks. Haven't dropped shit...
Robyn was staring. She knew she was, could feel her mouth agape, but she couldn’t help it. Nothing could have prepared her for the grandeur of the Leveilleur estate.
Of course she knew the twins had grown up wealthy, it was obvious especially early on in their acquaintance. But this? This was beyond anything she imagined.
A memory sprang up unbidden: sitting with Alphinaud on the cliff side in Thanalan, pointing out her childhood home. What must he have thought looking down at that one-room shack?
“What? What are you gawping at?”
Alisaie’s voice shook her out of her stupor, though it still took a moment to come up with a reply that didn’t fully betray her current train of thought. “Scion headquarters must seem squalid indeed…”
“I'll have you know I'm quite fond of the Rising Stones!”
Robyn couldn’t help but smile at her indignation.
Ameliance wasted no time in ushering her children off to receive their gifts, which left Robyn to wait awkwardly under her watchful eye.
“The twins have been sending letters home from time to time, recounting their latest adventures. I am sure they withhold certain details, of course. If only to keep me from worrying…yet a mother worries all the same. If I would have known the day they left that it would be so many years until I would see them again…
“They have grown so much while they have been away, have found the strength to overcome adversity time and time again. Their words grew more confident with every letter, their depictions more vivid. The triumphs and defeats. The joys and sorrows. 'Tis clear that they have come to find value in every experience.”
Robyn nodded in agreement, “It has been a joy to watch them blossom into who they have become, and to grow myself along side them.”
Ameliance’s expression changed to one of curiosity. “Of all the experiences they treasure most, it would seem that meeting you has been the most impactful. Why, since that fateful day, I do believe there has not been a single missive in which you were not mentioned by name!
"'Tis plain they care for you. And I am glad they have such a steadfast companion watching over them.”
Her words warmed Robyn’s heart, and did much to soothe her doubts from earlier. Of course their upbringing didn’t matter, they were her dearest companions—a family that reached far beyond blood and country.
“I assure you, they have watched over me much just as much as I have watched over them. Your children are extraordinary, and I certainly wouldn’t have made it this far without them.”
Ameliance smiled and drew closer, seemingly taking Robyn in for the first time. “I must apologize, I don’t have anything on hand that would fit someone of your…stature. You must be freezing out here without any sleeves. I would be happy to arrange our tailor to get something fitted?”
“Oh that won’t be necessary, I am quite comfortable. Roegadyn blood runs warm, and I have found the weather to be quite pleasant.”
“If you are sure, it would be no trouble.”
Robyn just smiled, “This allows me to easily don my armor if the need arises, though I did think it better if I didn’t wander the city fully armed. I know my presence is causing enough of a stir as it is.”
“How very prudent,” Ameliance’s smile turned into a smirk, “and what a gift it is for the rest of us, I dare say.”
That drew a blush to Robyn’s cheeks, and she was glad to be saved by Alisaie coming down the stairs in her newly acquired outfit.
Robyn enjoyed watching the way they interacted, fussing over the clothes and the fit in such a comfortable manner that one would never have guessed they had been apart for almost a decade.
Alphinaud joined shortly after, and he too seemed to be at home in a different way than she had ever seen him. Though, he was still a bit more formal in his baring than his sister. It was obvious that they both loved their mother very much.
And it was a joy…and a relief…to see their mother welcome them so warmly. Robyn was more than happy to just stand back and let them have their moment, short as their time together was.
All too soon Robyn could feel Ameliance readying her farewells, though not before giving them some parting advice, “Do not seek to best your father with words. Far better that you simply show him—let him discover the merit of your actions after they cannot be undone!”
Alisaie rolled her eyes, “Oh, Mother…”
But Alphinaud only chuckled as he took the hint, “we shall take your wisdom to heart. Thank you again for these gifts, and farewell for now!”
“Safe travels, my children. Eat well, stay warm, and keep your friends close.” Ameliance finished with a wink towards Robyn, before ushering them out of the house.
As they made their way down the hill, Alphinaud turned to Robyn, “Thank you for indulging Mother's request—I can see it meant a lot to her. And I, uh, shall refrain from inquiring as to the content of your private conversation.”
“On don’t worry, I only shared a few embarrassing stories.”
Robyn's guffaw rang out as both twins shoved her in unison.
Dawntrail charms are done! These designs will be debuting this fall at GATEway FATE. 💖 Thank you all again for helping me decide which characters to include! Please look forward to it~
Work was busy today and I need to wake up super early tomorrow, so I decided to be a little rough and experimental when drawing Y'shtola for today's drawing. :3
It only just occurred to me just now that the FFVII raids in Evercold means that not only will Soken get a crack at One Winged Angel…he’s gonna get a shot at Aerith’s Theme.
My heart will never be ready for that punch. 😭
