The young Miqo'te woman had taken pains to pull her hair back and tuck it neatly beneath the masked turban she wore, not much of her face was even visible and yet somehow...a Moogle had found her and given her something simple. It was just a book upon first look but it was the letter that made all the difference, fears ebbed and eyes watered as the young woman tucked herself into an alcove to read it. The book lay on her lap for the moment, unopened, while she devoured the words on the page with a fervor unmatched by anything she'd felt lately. Roen. Her sister had not forgotten her on Starlight, no matter how far apart they had been and how little they had spoken she had not forgotten her.
The letter made her ache but in the best of ways, there was nothing painful about the tightening in her chest and if she'd known it was anything but tightening she would have said it was fit to burst instead. A smile tugged at her lips as she finished the letter, she remembered their talks all too well. They'd confided so much in one another, and each had understood the other more than the Miqo'te girl had ever thought someone could. Delicate fingers traced the leather cover of the book, savoring the gift, even if she'd never opened it she wouldn't have cared but when she did it brought the sting of tear to her eyes as she flipped through the pages and finally found the leaf within.
She was careful with it and only lifted it for a moment to examine the wonderful color, quickly pressing it back between the pages and cradling the book to her chest with a warm smile. She curled around the object and whispered to the pages, "I miss you too, Sister...Happy Starlight..."
