I'm taking @firelightmuse 's advice and practicing during the days leading up to this year's FFXIV challenge. Dusting the cobwebs off so here we go.

"Not every impulse decision I made was a bad one. This time, I managed to help save the world!"

"Traders alive, Thalia"

Ibara was a woman of few words, and was not as expressive as the other two Voss sisters, so any moment where she openly expressed even a semblance of frustration was a rare moment indeed.

This was no less different, as Thalia looked up from the tome she was reading to take in the sight of her sister glaring at her metal leg, which was sitting on the small table in her meager little tent, nestled in the midst of the Grand Companies camp.

Thalia couldn't help but grimace at the sight, the leg sporting many dents, scratches, and warping that made the damn thing nearly unrecognizable.

"Sorry" she offered meagerly, to which her sister sighed.

"I suppose it couldn't be helped. Truthfully, I thought you'd come out looking worse after running around in two Garlean fortresses"

"Three, actually", Thalia corrected, earning her an exasperated look from Ibara.

"Thankfully", her sister continued, "your friend Master Garlond offered to help build a new one for you. Still, what did you do to this thing?"

"Technically speaking, it wasn't my fault"

"Ah yes, the immortal, all powerful sorcerer from another world". This came from her left, where her other sister, Narumi, was sitting beside her on her bed, alll proprietary as she poured over the literal dozens of correspondences for Thalia that seemed to appear overnight after Operation Archon concluded.

Thalia frowned. "I thought you were helping me with my letters, not supplying snark"

"I can multi task"

"Don't tell me you're mad. Give me some credit. As Ibara said, it could have gone worse"

"Oh, that changes things. It could have gone much worse than an ancient eldritch power nearly ending your life". Narumi huffed out a sigh before adjusting the papers in her lap.

"Of course I'm not mad. But honestly Tia, of all the muck your impulsiveness has gotten you into-"

"You say that as if I have a habit of getting myself into trouble"

The only response she got was a deadpan look from both her sisters, to which Thalia found herself sputtering in indignation.

"Wha-well.....in my defense, not every impulse decision I made was a bad one. In fact, this time, I managed to help save the world! So, you're welcome"

Narumi simply responded by hitting her with a pillow.

Endings suuuuuck.
