Prompt #6: First Steps
((Prompt 6 of @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast FFXIVWrite 2019))
Those first steps outside of the Zanr’ak tunnels were like taking a breath of fresh air. The hot, arrid dry air of Thanalan never felt so good in Jonae’s lungs. Their escape from those dark caverns were thankfully lacking in combat. But the constant sneaking around left the miqo’te frazzled and filled with anxiety. But those first steps back towards Ul’dah felt so good.
“Bloody hells.” He said quickening his step. “R’ioght? Shame we didn’t run inta more lads to shoot.” Raz added, which gained a glare form both Jonae and E’rallina. “Speak for your self. I was happy to avoid further conflict.” She scoffed as she held onto her carbuncle. “Please tell me you got what you needed?” Jonae said as he looked back.
She sighed and shrugged. “I thought it best not to read over what I collected while in those tunnels. I think I got what I needed, but I’ll have to see exactly what when I get back home.” She said as they walked. “These might be the first steps to a profitable business partnership, Jonae’ra.”
Jonae chuckled nervously as he rubbed his neck. “N-now we a’int got to Ul’dah now, miss.” He replied sheepishly. “Oi. What about me, aye? Whot about me heals. I’m a bloody mess.” Raz chimed in. “You’re an idiot and deserve all that. But I should thank you for introducing me to someone with a brain.” Raz scowled as Jonae just chuckled.
