yello guess i’m playing through ARR on my alt, now dumping moro’a (my main Keeper WoL) thoughts into tumblr because twitter is terrible for keeping record of things previously posted
Moro'a's understandably devastated when he returns to the waking sands after titan...so many dead. he didn't hang around there all the time, but often enough to get to know some of the other scions better, like a'aba and aulie
His memories of how he left his home village in ilsabard after imperials ransacked it are still repressed at this point, so this incident doesn’t outright remind him, but he feels highly distraught and stressed out, all the way till alphinaud shows up at the church of saint adama landama for cid. all the busywork in coerthas helps to keep him occupied and calm him down, especially when he gets to meet a certain handsome garrison commander
addition: the whole coerthas business is initially frustrating as hells, guy just wants to find an airship and this whole heretics business is confusing and maddening. he feels bad for francel though, and genuinely wants to help clear the young lord’s name. maybe that’s what endears him to haurchefant from the beginning. as for the other way round, it’s heartening for moro’a to work with someone so warm and friendly, especially after the waking sands incident
