Alright i’m making my own post. Ive been made aware of this picture from official merch (2017 calendar) and it is very cute yes. Moenbryda and urianger having a cuddle. Krile giving matoya a present. Louisoix giving the young twins their gifts.
But thinking of the twins, there’s one Odd Thing about their portrayal here.
Commodore Meya Ganajai serving the Eorzean Alliance Navy with highest honors and distinction until one fateful day she clashes with a pirate fleet and comes face to face with the Legendary Pirate Queen!
As dangerous as she is beautiful, will the dutiful Meya be able to ignore the flames of passion stirred in her heart or follow those desires even if such a path would surely send her sinking to the very depths!?
Humble felt that he ought to learn as much as possible about the man with whom he was falling in love, even though the idea of actually admitting this openly still felt utterly terrifying.
His own heritage seemed fairly straightforward by comparison. His people had always lived in the mountains around Farreach, except for the bit before that when they hadn't.
In contrast, G'raha Tia was a Seeker of the Sun, a Sharlayan Archon, a Corvosian exile and, in some sort of complicated way that Humble still didn't entirely understand, a member of the Allagan Royal Family.
Deciding he had to start somewhere, Humble had resolved to begin by learning all he could about Seeker of the Sun culture and how they approached matters of the heart.
From what he had gleaned of traditional Seeker of the Sun culture, from his interactions with the M Tribe of Gyr Abania and the U Tribe of the Sagoli, their society was focussed around males who defeated other males in combat and then lots of females agreed to follow them and then they got to change their name from Tia to Nunh.
Humble wasn't exactly sure what a "harem" was, but it sounded quite crowded. He also wasn't at all sure how he would feel about sharing G'raha with twenty or so Miqo'te women - or exactly what the sleeping arrangements would be if he did.
Not that G'raha had ever given any indication that he was inclined towards that sort of thing, but Humble didn't want to make any assumptions, cultural or otherwise. Perhaps some Seeker of the Sun males had harems of other men and that's actually what G'raha would want, but the thought didn't really make him feel any better. In fact it felt worse somehow.
He also didn't think G'raha Nunh sounded as pretty as G'raha Tia, but he supposed he could get used to it.
It didn't help that his efforts to educate himself further on the finer points of Seeker culture were stymied somewhat by his rudimentary reading skills - especially as the only books he'd been able to find in The Noumenon had been weighty anthropological tomes with very few pictures and a lot of complicated punctuation.
He wondered if G'raha would tell him if he was going to go off to engage an existing Nunh in single combat and if he'd be allowed to help. He glumly supposed that it would probably be rather missing the point for soneone else to go wading into that sort of fight, but then again he couldn't bear the thought of anyone hurting him...
Not that G'raha had ever given any indication of wanting to fight anyone for a harem in the desert, but perhaps he'd just been too polite to mention it... Or perhaps Humble himself was actually getting in the way of G'raha's true destiny as a harem-having patriarch... Maybe he'd been stupid to imagine that...
Humble could feel his anxiety rising.
"Pack it in!" He told himself, as sternly as he could manage. "You be making up stories when you don't be knowin' all the facts!"
Perhaps, he reflected, he'd been going about it all the wrong way - trying to build a picture from information out of books he could barely read and half-remembered conversations with people who lived several thousand malms away from where G'raha had actually grown up.
There was nothing for it, he realised, but to ask the man himself.
