FFXIV Write #4: Reticent

A moment in the Fortemps library, set between 5.3 and 5.4

Haurchefant and Edmont

Haurchefant x WoL x Urianger x Thancred

Haurchefant looked inside the library, taking in the faces of those he loved. Nerys lounged upon a couch, nose in a collection of Thanalan folk and fairy tales. Thancred was using her lap as a pillow, his eyes closed, and his chest rising and falling in a soft, even tempo. Urianger had a stack of tomes by the picture window, the bright winter sun gleaming upon his silver hair and golden jewelry. 

And there was his father at his desk, quill in hand, tome open to the day's page. Their eyes met and a smile passed between them that still warmed Haurchefant's heart–to be acknowledged, to be seen instead of quietly pulled aside or ushered away. 

He could not say when exactly his father had begun trying to make up for mistakes with Haurchefant. Certainly he hadn't noticed until the day he had begged for Nerys, Alphinaud, and Tataru to be let through the Gates of Judgement. But as time had passed and with the blessing of distance, he could now discern it had started before that. 

“How fares this lovely bevy?” Haurchefant asked, voice hushed in deference to the readers and to Thancred who might be sleeping. 

“They are quite studious today,” said Edmont. “Will you be joining us?”

“Nay,” Haurchefant sighed. “Reticent as I am to leave, I've appointments to keep about town.”

“Reluctant,” Urianger said, lifting his head. His eyes twinkled. “Reticent pertains to speaking. Thou might learn such by joining us.”

“Ah ah,” Haurchefant wagged a finger. “My moon, my stars, we are not re-litigating this.”

“...He is correct.” Edmont ventured. His voice took on a teasing lilt even as his face betrayed a hesitancy. “About the usage.”

Haurchefant laid a hand upon his breast and swooned against the doorframe. He made sure to exaggerate his tone, inviting his father to join in the pantomime. “Betrayed by both my love and my father. As if practical usage has not added a second definition to the word!”

Edmont's laugh was a bark of obvious relief and Haurchefant grinned, something lightening in his chest. 

“Well” Thancred murmured, eyes still closed. “None of you are certainly embodying the first definition at the moment.”

“Apologies, beloved,” said Urianger to their clearly not sleeping lover. “We’ll debate this at another time.”

“I’ll hold you to that,” said Haurchefant. He cast a smile at them all, his gaze stopping at last on his father who nodded, his eyes soft.

Vaguely 6.X patches / post 7.0 | WoL x Ysayle

Also a crossover with ffxiv sapphic sunday prompts (summer, adventure)

Quite a reversal–to be on the receiving end of instruction this time.

Nerys curled against Ysayle’s back, her cheek a brush of velvet against Ysayle’s own. Lance-callused hands adjusted Ysayle’s shoulders, her elbows, slipped down to widen her thighs. 

“Better,” said Nerys. “Stance is important, you don’t want the recoil to knock you back.”

Her eyes were a bright twinkle of gold in the Thanalan sun, and something impish was in her smile. Ysayle felt herself transported to Mor Dhona, adjusting her lover’s grip on the broadsword and advising her how to hold herself. A dragoon can jump here and there, but if you take up a knight’s arms, you remain planted.

“Is this the type of hands-on instruction you received?” Ysayle asked, gesturing with the firearm in the vague direction of North and Coerthas.

“Stephanivien is a very thorough teacher,” said Nerys, her lips twitching. “He rewarded me for targets shot, if there’s something you’re interested in…”

Ysayle narrowed her gaze down the sight. Different than the bow of her younger days, amidst the trappers; but not so foreign a thing. She exhaled and grounded herself on the steady earth beneath. In her mind’s eye, her soles were connected to the earth through a thousand teeming roots to steady her.

The recoil was a blow–if she wasn’t used to being at the frontlines, it might have sent her backwards. But her arms were steady and her sight had not failed her. The bullet was lodged in one of the outer circles. 

“...Impressive,” Nerys said, her tone warm. 

Ysayle clicked the safety on before turning towards her. “And my reward?”

“I have some ideas…”

Happy Valentione's Day!

"Terra's Theme" is the overworld theme of the World of Balance. Being the main theme, it is reused for other themes of its soundtrack, including "Omen", the theme for the game's opening"

...

In one of the Letter from the Producer videos, Naoki Yoshida stated if there were enough player requests for this theme to be added in the game, he would include it somewhere that fits. The theme was then added to Patch 2.55 as the music that plays while riding the Magitek Armor and Gilded Magitek Armor mounts.
