" come to see the sights ? " though not pointed at estinien, y'shtola's sarcasm-soaked words could only find their home within one out-of-place elezen among scholars. matsya and her entourage chat amongst themselves, surely taking in the unique surroundings outside, while y'shtola enters the watcher's workshop, estinien tailing loosely behind.

and in true y'shtola manner, she toils while others leisure. she takes stock of the watcher's repository, keening on her heels to take tactile information of the supply, of which was placed on a table meant for someone much, much larger than anyone in tow. estinien, simply stood there. " if you liked me so evermuch, you need only say so. grand work-arounds are ill-fitting of you, ser varlineau. " / @azuredragoon

This is Estinien for you :D

𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 𝐀 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄, Iphenne would have found the Azure Dragoon cut an imposing figure — and certainly he commands the respect of those around him — but as she has gotten to know him, she has learned that underneath all that venom and vengeance is a softer edge seldom few get to see. In Ishgard, he is renowned for his prowess on the battlefield. But in person, Iphenne finds him much different — quiet, observant, awkward to a fault.

And that softened edge. She has borne witness to it on occasion; in the moments when he teases the twins, or offers her his lance in battle. He cares, even if he isn't prone to saying as much, as Aymeric had once pointed out ( she still thinks of that day, when she was told Estinien stole her away from her fight with Zenos ). Time and again he has been by her side, fighting with her and protecting her in equal measure. Truly, she didn't think she would have survived this long had it not been for his strength or his shoulder to lean on.

Now, they would all be parting ways. At least for a time. Perhaps that is what emboldens her to pull him aside in the days leading up to their final goodbyes. If they are to not see each other for a while, then she would ask one last thing of him before he departs.

❝ I hope you did not think I would let you slip away without joining me for a drink one last time. Consider it my token of thanks for... everything. ❞

     ❛ thanks for giving me a hand with that. ❜    

     she was used to fighting heartless–––– between the light in her heart & the way they chased the keyblade, she was always a primary target for them–––– & her first major battle had been clashing with the real organization xiii, so she was fairly used to fighting others. but to be attacked by a monster out of the blue was new. it wasn’t quite the same as fighting a heartless, the keyblade wasn’t made for them, & it took her a moment to figure out the best approach.

     luckily, she hadn’t been the only traveler on the road, & the stranger jumped in to help her in the fight, saving her from injuries that she most certainly didn’t need. kairi didn’t dare to dismiss her keyblade, just in case something else decided to surprise her.

     ❛ i was really caught off guard. ❜

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style; in the air there's a feeling of Starlight. Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, and on every street corner you hear ───

❛ 'Tis unusual for Starlight celebrations to reach into Mor Dhona, ❜ ... that she doesn't personally see to herself, with Tataru's assistance. But rare is it that the celebrations make it past the doors of the Rising Stones, let alone into the Seventh Heaven itself. Outside, still-falling snow gently blankets the buildings and cobblestones of the Toll, abnormally colorful with its strings of lights and garland. ❛ In this caliber, at least. I have never seen Revenant's Toll so festive. Though, I suppose there is much to celebrate this year for all. I have half a mind to try and convince Thancred to join their performance. ❜

The performance in question, which had drawn her out of the Rising Stones to nurse a cup of cocoa at a table in the Seventh Heaven to watch, had begun with only a single Ishgardian bard and now comprised of some half dozen adventurers of various origins joining in both performance and merriment.

❛ This tradition is Ishgardian in origin, is it not? ❜ Alphinaud had given her a Starlight history lesson years ago; she dares not tell him how little of it she retained for fear that he might recite it again. ❛ Will your presence in Ishgard not be missed during this time, @azuredragoon? ❜

(    🐇   )               SHE’S QUICK TO    shift so that none of her scarring from the first was visible.    she’d  been trying to    soothe    the pain from them but in doing so had sorely lost her focus and estinien’s arrival had surprised her.    she looked akin to a deer that had been caught unawares in the snow as lips parted    ;    hands shaking as she tried to find some excuse to give him.    he’d not been on the first with them    --    even were she to tell the truth how would she even    EXPRESS    THE DAMAGE DONE    ?

         <      W    .  .    WOUNDS OF WAR.    they ache.    that is all it is.      >       a white lie,   though what they were was    LEAGUES MORE    than that.
