‘ aftermath ‘ from koana 👀

our muses have just barely survived a terrible battle / disaster / etc….  send me   ‘ aftermath ‘   for our muses to patch up each other’s injuries / clean each other up @elpiforos || Koana

Thancred couldn't care less about his own pains and injuries, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he made the Second Promise's safety his top priority. He was relieved to see that Koana was still alive albeit a bit scuffed up and bruised. The gunbreaker had wasted no time in getting the other to safety before tending to his wounds.

"'Tis not like you to be so reckless," the rogue said in a bit of a teasing tone, wringing out a cloth over a bowl of cool water before raising it to Koana's face. "Perhaps next time you would inform us of your plans before running off?"

His lips were turned up in an easy smile, yet his silver eyes gleamed with concern. "Just...don't scare me like that again."

❝ etheirys ❞ 👀

let me tell you who you should write in xiv → @elpiforos

how am i supposed to suggest characters for you when all the ones that come to mind first are already on your roster?? okay, well. i genuinely feel like haurchefant greystone and g'raha sort of go hand-in-hand. they're very similar characters, at least superficially, so i think if one of them gets you, the other one would be fairly easy. but this suggestion feels too obvious, so—

your roster leans very heavily towards people who are very duty-bound and/or very devoted, be it to someone or something, and who could be more of both than hythlodaeus? though he doesn't seem to believe he has much to offer (which is a flat out lie because he can literally cast annihiliation), he still tries to do what he can—which is what leads to his volunteering to become part of zodiark—out of his duty to the star and his devotion to his two dearest friends.

“You make me feel safe.” ( from koana uwu )

fluffy / reassuring sentences for your needs … sentence starters

@elpiforos || Koana

Thancred’s body stiffened, betraying his surprise at the words even if his face didn’t. He shifted his gaze toward the Second Promise, his expression softening as his lips turned upward in an easy smile.

This one continues to surprise me…

“I am glad that I can do that much, at least,” he replied. “You can handle yourself well in a fight, but you brought me here to help you, so I will do what I can. For the moment, my blade is yours.”

@elpiforos whispered: that wound doesn't look too good. ( from xvi verse daithi \o/ )

❅ ⸻ If she were being honest? It didn't feel too good, either. Yet there was no time to dwell on it, no time to set themselves aside so that they may better inspect it and give her a field dressing. For now, Jill would merely have to grit her teeth and pray that Shiva was able to keep her going just a little while longer.

❝ I'll be fine. ❞ A lie, and they were both incredibly aware of it. Sighing, Jill tried her best to offer what she hoped would be a reassuring smile, though something told her it likely looked more akin to a grimace. ❝ Once we're somewhere safe we'll take a proper look at it, for now... we have to get out of here without drawing more attention. ❞

A quick glance is given around the crates they had found themselves huddled behind, eyes darting back and forth before she retreats and turns to her travelling companion. ❝ It looks clear. We must move swiftly and be light of foot, do you think you can manage that? ❞

@elpiforos said: " i'm so... tired... " ( daithi to alisaie let's gooo )

“ i don’t care, you are staying awake. do you understand me ? “ cerulean eyes are narrowed in focus, briefly meeting the weariness in daithi’s before returning to the injury on his head. damnit, where was alphinaud ?! he could stay more calm, heal their friend faster.

it’s fortunate she has her own abilities, mediocre as they are in comparison. with a frustrated sigh, alisaie adjusts his exhausted form against her lap, the glow of her magic brightening. she will heal him enough to travel, even if they need a break, even if the red mage has to drag him. “ you can rest soon, just not yet. i think i’ve got a handle on the bleeding for now. do you have any potions ? “

@elpiforos : to welcome x'uri into the into gleanerhood, erenville gifts her a mini mole.

she's never had a pet before! the rent prices in ul'dah were too outrageously high to also afford the pet fees on top. and before ul'dah, she spent most of her time helping out her tribe. the ala mhigan weather wasn't conducive to pets who didn't serve a purpose, especially for x'uri's family. the closest thing she can remember is the war chocobos, and frankly, their beaks were too sharp to risk a pet. she'd have had to have left them behind, anyway, when x'rhun took her and fled.

x'uri had had nothing but the clothes on her back and her uncle's firm hand in hers when she left ala mhigo behind. even now, she hesitates to own much, always ready to leave any situation with nothing but what's on her person. though she may not realize it, a sharlayan chirurgeon trained in matters of the mind would have a field day with her.

erenville may not know it, but the mini mole is perfect. small enough to always carry, never to be left behind like a chocobo might.

"oh, wow. for me?" she takes the creature with very gentle hands, beaming erenville a toothy smile, fangs flashing in the light. "that's so nice, oh my gosh! thanks! you're the coolest. i love him!"

x'uri recalls what she knows of such creatures, from her recent studies: their blindness, their love for earthworms and dark places. hmmm. this miqo may not be in ownership of a delicious worm-y snack, but dark places, she can manage! before erenville's very eyes, x'uri opens the button of her shirt and puts the mole inside, safely tucked near her brassiere. she then buttons back up, and pats her gift through her shirt, unembarrassed. the gleaner's outfit is way less revealing than the ul'dahn dancer outfit, that's for sure, and x'uri doesn't see anything wrong with what she's done.

she's a little too warm in the layers of a gleaner's uniform, but it's to the mini mole's benefit, so that's something. she taps her chin, already lost in deep thought about her new buddy.

"i'll call him...eren? no, that might get confusing. x'eren?"

[soulgathered-archived]

erenville clears his throat, before handing meya a lesser panda.

"hah...?" meya stares at the creature, utterly and obviously confused by the gesture. "what...what am I supposed to do with it? 'm just holding it so you can get a cage out, right?"

they are now following erenville around, panda held securely against their chest. "erenville. erenville! listen! do you know how many pets I already own? at least give me a guide. what do they eat? what do they need...?" maybe he is not the only fussing one here. maybe they tend to be a fussing lizard... "can it even co-exist with dragons?"
