[lounalavandula]

I have been enjoying being in nature and connecting with the elementals again, this respite was much needed. From gathering rare plants across the star to tending to the delicate blooms in the grove at the Botanist's Guild, I've been expanding my botany log immeasurably. When we next meet, I must show you the recent specimens I've collected, there are quite a few I know you'll marvel at.

I hope you're doing well friend. Wherever your adventures lead you, do remember to take a moment and smell the early morning blooms.

My friend,

I've been so consumed with exploring the realm and searching for answers about our star that I have forgotten to write. Please know I will do better and will write much more often.

Since celebrating Valentione's Day I've traveled all over Eorzea helping merchants, residents, friends and acquaintances. I even had a run-in with that pesky Manderville that unfortunately involved oil, a hot spring and - it's probably for the best I leave the remaining details out.

Anyways, what I am still finding unbelievable is one day I stopped in Ul'Dah for respite and met a curious individual who I'll call Muso for now. After a seemingly heated misunderstanding with a Hyur that I somehow managed to diffuse, Muso encouraged me to study and hone my skills with a Katana. As you can imagine, the feeling was peculiar as I swapped from a staff to a sword.

Naturally to the tomes I went, and I studied furiously. Luckily, we secured a larger house for our Free Company, and I was able to expand our library collection. You see, I had to learn about something they call the Sen Gauge. It reminds me of my Lillies.

With some encouragement from Laethl, I've begun practicing my skills on the fields in Frontline against others. Periodically I meet with Muso who is helping me become better, although I can't help but to feel on edge around him. It makes me reminiscent of my early days with Kan-E. Now that I've taken a moment to write this, I realize I am due for a meeting with Muso soon and I'm quite nervous.

Even as I revisit Othard looking for things I missed, things I may have overlooked, I find myself reflecting on our time together. I promise that I'll write more soon, I miss our adventures but most of all I miss our late-night chats.

Oh, I've included a photograph of the new garments I wear while training. Do let me know what you think, somewhere I just know Tataru is taking notes.

Glam details - here

"Dearest Warriors of Light,

A new sweetheart has arrived in the ton, whispers at the ball this previous evening revealed her to be a Lavandula. With how eager mamas were to get a glimpse of her agreed upon beauty, it is no wonder there are rumblings that this season's diamond may just yet be the one who danced away the night in an elegant red. Though the Holy See have yet to make their formal declaration, this author can only wonder what the ball this next weekend at House Fortemps will bring."

I hope you enjoyed my attempt at role playing dear friend. Soon we shall be dancing away the night together.

My friend,

Lately I've been feeling much closer to the fae. Where I go, so too do the porxies. The pixies are always mischievous, and I am loath to go a long time without hearing their giggles whispering in the wind. Are you planning a visit soon? Imagine the fun we would have at a tea party all together.

Fae Deity glam details are here - I had so much fun making this one

[lounalavandula]

My friend,

A wise man once exclaimed that he found himself to be an Autumn, and I know we both are Autumns too. I always find comfort in knowing that no matter how far our journeys take us, the memories we will always have. I sound more like you every day. I know you take great pride in that. I hope to see you soon.

I went back to visit this area after our adventure and Laethl snapped this photograph of me using that machine we both found rather interesting. I would have included a beverage but was worried it wouldn't hold in the moogle's travel bag.

So, tell me, are you thirsty too?

Viera Louna - Endwalker

[lounalavandula]

Now that Louna is back to her bunself. I'm working on her backstory, how it fits into canon as well as my full headcanon for her.

I'm excited and I've wanted to do this for so long, but I had Lou drink a fantasia to go Lala then Hyur and then finally Miqo to wear hats in 7.0 and didn't feel like any of them was truly Lou. Then 7.3 dropped and I wasted no time bring Louna back to her true self.

I felt this was a perfect post to reblog and discuss this as 6.0 was when I started to feel compelled to create and share Louna's story.

I hope others are excited as I am hehe, stay tuned - x

[lounalavandula]

Dear you,

Quite often I hear your voice in my head always asking the same question - 'Tell me, have you been to the ruins beneath the waters of the Bounty?'. I find myself stuck on this and so I read, I read to learn more, but most importantly, I read to remember.

Friends,

I've missed you all greatly, but this respite was much needed. The Moonfire Faire is back and this year they really out did themselves. The Garden of Hope all celebrated.

I'm sending you all a photograph of us at the top, what an amazing vista. Any day I get to suffer through a jumping obstacle course with Laethl is a good day. Our 5th Moonfire Faire together and many more to come I am sure ♥

My friend,

I have been on a much-deserved vacation, but I hope this letter finds you well. I've taken to the new style of this area; these garments made a buntastic look if I may say so myself.

I hope you're well.

Trying to show off my new glamour and Saffron photobombed. I feel as though I've been living at the Gold Saucer the past few days.

It reminds you of our excursions together, does it not?

This mogtome event has me bowin' crazy in the gold saucer, once again.

Won't you meet me there?

After what's felt similar to an umbral era - I've managed to upgrade my weapon and obtain the current relic. Working with Gerolt again was, well, it was interesting, to say the least.
