terra-stone asked “The Galpals, Coffee Shop Modern Au uwu”

Sage doesn’t even like coffee, but she likes the look of the barista, small with red hair going everywhere, sticking out around her uniform hat. ‘Vara’, reads the name on her nametag, and the two share a smile as Sage stumbles over the words for a coffee that’s clearly nothing she’s ordered before.

The coffee comes with her name writting in scrawling print by a small, fierce hand, and a phone number written underneath it with a small “Let’s be friends!” under the numbers.

Shiho (01)

It was not her style of fighting, all restrained power and seamless elegance. The spear was the same, but the Gridanian people were not; she found herself mostly alone in a class of Elezen born for the position, an outsider. In quiet moments she would forego her newfound training as a "proper" lancer and drop back into the fiercer, more direct stance of her kin. Lower to the ground, faster; the spear moved like a much smaller weapon in the hands of someone strong, and Shiho had never been shy about expressing her strength. The small lands of the Borlaaq tribe had been her home for far longer than Eorzea, and she still pined for them again, still desired to return once the Garlean threat of invasion was through. If it was ever through. In which case, she would sigh, standing straighter -- adopting the pose of so many Gridanian lancers before her, and fall back into new patterns once more. After all, the old had not saved them. Wasn't it time to try something new?
