🐉- A memory that gets them thinking (For Faust and Zehta'ra)

“A... memory that gets me thinking...” the young halfbreed frowned as he tilted his head back and forth. There was one that often came to the front of his mind... one that he always hated... “I... can think of one...” he sighed as he closed his eyes, humming softly to himself as his head tilted back and forth “It was just after my fourteenth birthday, someone who was no secret friend to me had sent a gift to the house. For me obviously, they cared about me enough to brave going through that bastard that I dare to call a father. Thankfully it was Jannequinard who brought it to me but it didn’t take long for the bastard to find out.” a scoff escaped Faust as he tapped his cheek some “I had been changing into the ‘dress’ when the asshole came in to make sure I, in his words, wasn’t causing trouble... honestly it was always an excuse to find me to beat my damn head in because he despises me so.” the halfbreed opened his eyes as a smirk formed over his feature “Though the look on his face was priceless, seeing me dolled up in clothes only fit for those of the High Houses... you could practically see him boiling with anger. Bastard told me that I had no end of bringing shame to the name of House Durendaire, that I was hellbent on tearing it down because of his one stupid mistake.” that smirk carefully formed into a frown however “And then he beat the shite out of me... he hated that not only was I wearing a High House dress but he hated more the fact that it was the colors of Durendaire. I never saw that thing again after that...” shaking his head Faust shrugged “Honestly, the reason I think about it often is because if the asshole hadn’t destroyed the thing I would have paraded about in it just to spite him. More so because I know it would have made Lord Haurchefant happy to see me in it at least once...”

(Screenshot courtesy of @talechaser-ffxiv <3)“I... oh... well... honestly there’s plenty of memories that I always have thoughts about or that get me thinking but...” the Miqo’te tapped his head slightly as he swayed back and forth “But... one that really gets me thinking... it’s... a more recent memory. One that scares me because I always have thoughts of what could have happened if the man who saved me didn’t well... see me as a kitten.” Xheta grimaced slightly, his ears pressing back against his head and his tail puffed up slightly “I don’t even know if Athanasius is his real name or not either... I... just know he saved me. But... it always scares me, it makes me think too much about the what could’s or what if’s... I don’t want to think about what he could have done if he turned his sword against me.” a whimper came from the young Miqo’te as he said that “Well I’m pretty sure I can imagine... I wouldn’t be here anymore if he decided to use it against me...”

PEER INTO MY MUSE'S MEMORIES: PART 2

1. How do they move and carry themselves? Pace, rhythm, gestures, energy? (For all your characters!)

(You had to go with ALL the kids didn’t you... HUR well let’s go shall we!)

The Dragon himself, very obvious here really. Jacques no doubt carries himself in a very ‘powerful’ manner. Long strides, very confident and just anything that one might see as a powerful person. In the beginning he likely carried himself less like he does now, more feral and wild but now he finally found peace and he is able to truly just carry himself as a person rather than a beast or a wild animal that has suffered an eternity of torture.

The kitten comes up next! When it comes down to it, Xheta is the one who will carry himself in a very meek manner. Having been through the hell that is Ul’dah and basically having to deal with people treating him like shit he has been traumatized to the point that he lacks any confidence in himself. He’ll generally walk with his ears laid back, tail hanging low and he will usually shirk away from anyone he walks by out of fear of being struck or just shoved over and beaten senseless.

Ahhhhh this child... Faust... oh where do I begin with him. Faust will pretty much give off the vibe of you do not want to even go near him if you want to have a good day. He is likely tense the majority of the time because he (like my other characters lol) has suffered a lot. From the fact that his father never wanted him and wanted to just kill him before he was born, to the endless torment from said father and of course being tormented by the fact that he’s not just a bastard child of a High House BUT also a halfbreed. Faust has learned to carry himself in a way that showed he wasn’t messing around with anyone and that he would basically punch anyone in the throat if they so much as looked at him wrong. He’s a violent little shit and I love him for being that way lol

Now for our precious Garlean bean, well Half Garlean anyway. Alrek while he certainly isn’t shy he IS the sort that will act timid around anyone he doesn’t know. He doesn’t know about his... heritage so to speak or anything involving where he came from other than the fact that the name Galvus is... well tied to the Empire and the Throne. Whenever ANYONE happens to call him by his name he panics and usually needs to be reassured that things will be fine and that only a stark few might even recognize the name. He usually carries himself like any normal person but it’s obvious that he is, for the most part, timid and generally keeping an eye out just in case.

And of course this bastard. Lusaut just GIVES off the vibe that he is not someone you ever want to meet alone. He carries himself like a hunter stalking it’s prey, a predator even... like a lion or tiger. And while on the outside he certainly looks like someone who carries themselves in a calm and collective manner deep down people can see that it’s just a guise. Lusaut is crazy and fucked up in the head and it shows with the most subtle of things. His twisted grin as he looks at people, which no doubt sends a chill down their spine or just the taunting smirks he gives if he is doing a more ‘decent’ job of hiding his twisted mind. Basically, the guy just gives people that “NOPE! Do not go near it.” vibe.
