I'tsu Fhuz: "Cake monster!
Sairen Collier: "I'll say again, that was not me."
Sairen Collier: "I'm the one that ate most of the kebabs."
I'tsu Fhuz: "Yes? Kebabs? Hah! Kebabs. Such a funny word. I like this one. No, you still ate cake. Round, tum tum. Can see it still." I'tsu says in a tease.
Sairen Collier: "The winner of Memeli's cake-competition was one of the smallest miqo'te I've ever met. It was thoroughly baffling."
Sairen Collier: ..This is so much talking.

Leanne Delphium: "Oh, hello, Jocea."
Jocea Tarry blinks and looks to her left. "Huh? H-hi, Miss Leanne."
Leanne Delphium giggles. "A bit distracted, aren't you?"
Jocea Tarry: "A little...I guess. Got a bit caught up in all the commotion going on."
Leanne Delphium: "You mean, the pilgrimage?"
Jocea Tarry nods to Leanne Delphium.
Jocea Tarry: "Yeah, saw a whole bunch of people coming this way. So I thought I would see what was going on."
Leanne Delphium snickers. "Well, tis is a pilgrimage, if you weren't aware! A little gathering with the objective of praising the goddess Llymlaen!"
Jocea Tarry laughs softly. "Yeah...I figured that part out after a while. Do these things happen often?"
Leanne Delphium: "U-Uh...where was I...yes! Once per moon! Each moon being for one deity!"
Leanne Delphium: "Next moon for example, will be for Oschon...and I know! Just...making sure."
Jocea Tarry: "Oh..I get it now. A pilgrimage for one of the Twelve each moon then."
Leanne Delphium: "Exactly! And we celebrate each of them with stories or song that reference them directly or indirectly, or one of their aspects!"
Leanne Delphium smiles warmly, ears perking up. "It is a very lovely event to participate~"
Jocea Tarry: "Makes sense I guess. I've never been to one before...well, until now anyway."
Leanne Delphium: "Did you like it?"
Jocea Tarry: "It...seemed kinda nice. Wonder if mom ever comes to these..."
Leanne Delphium: "I've seen her once or twice in a few of them. So, yup!"
Leanne Delphium smiles gently. "She doesn't tend to stick around, though, unfortunately.."
Jocea Tarry: "R-really? She's never mentioned them to me before. Oh...that's not too surprising then..."
Leanne Delphium raises a hand to stifle a chuckle. "Hum, since you liked this one, why not try to make an appearance at the next month's pilgrimage?"
Jocea Tarry smiles and nods a bit. "I'd like to. Hopefully mom would let me go if it's outside of Noscea."
Jocea Tarry: "Great! I'm definitely gonna be there then."
Jocea Tarry: "Maybe I could drag mom along and make her stick around....then again, probably not."
Leanne Delphium smiles comfortingly. "Even if not, will be lovely to see you there...well...dunno if I will make it there...depends on the sun..."
Jocea Tarry tilts her head slightly. "The sun? I'm guessing it could be a day like today was. The again you never know really."
Leanne Delphium shakes her head. "B-Bwuh.."
Leanne Delphium blinks repeatedly.
Jocea Tarry: "You okay, Miss Leanne?"
Leanne Delphium: "Ah, I-I am...guess I slipped into reverie for a moment...sorry."
Leanne Delphium smiles apologetically.
Jocea Tarry giggles a bit and covers her mouth. "I get that way at times too. Usually during my studies or at the Grindstone even."
Leanne Delphium chuckles. "It is a bad habit of mine...acquired from a friend, even...! Gosh, I miss him..."
Leanne Delphium: "Oh, rain.."
Jocea Tarry: "Wha....?"
Leanne Delphium looks up, smiling warmly at the droplets sliding down her cheeks.
Jocea Tarry groans and puts her turban back on. "Great....better than the desert at least."
Leanne Delphium: "You don't like the rain?"
Jocea Tarry: "Ehh....it's okay I guess. Just hate that it seems to come out of nowhere on such a nice day."
Leanne Delphium: "Ppft! Rain only stains a day if you let it do it! If you enjoyed it, you'd think of it as an extra spice to such a beautiful sun!"
Jocea Tarry: "Mom likes the rain...for some reason I guess. At least it's better than desert heat."
Leanne Delphium: "Tons of times better!"
Leanne Delphium: "Rain is nice! It tends to the land, refresh our bodies and souls..."
Leanne Delphium extends her arms as she twirls under the rain, laughing.
Jocea Tarry: "I guess there is that. It is nice sometimes, makes things a bit...soothing I guess?"
Leanne Delphium: "One day, you will see the joys that a good rain can bring to you!"
Leanne Delphium: "...Just like the joys of the teachings you neglect!"
Leanne Delphium smiles devilishly.
Jocea Tarry: "One day, maybe. And I don't neglect them!! I just...ya know...."
Leanne Delphium: "Ignore, find boring, prefer not to know or remember."
Leanne Delphium sticks her tongue.
Jocea Tarry pouts a bit and puffs her cheeks. "Not all...just. Ya know...the boring stuff."
Leanne Delphium: "Excuses excuses and more excuses."
Leanne Delphium snickers.
Jocea Tarry groans and shrugs. "Fine..I give up. Sounding just like mom now..."
Leanne Delphium: "Well, your mom would be scolding you! I'm just pointing it out."
Leanne Delphium chuckles. "To learn is to win knowledge! To win knowledge is to win more power!"
Leanne Delphium: "And all that good stuff...!"
Jocea Tarry: "I guess I shouldn't give her any more reason too..."
Leanne Delphium: "Also that!" she giggles. "Ah, gimme a moment, yes? A friend is departing, I'd like to say a bye to them!"
Jocea Tarry: "Sure thing."
Leanne Delphium nods, mouthing a thanks before skipping to the left.

Cliodhna Eoghan: So did you leave your note blank?
Sounsyy Mirke nods to Clio. "Sometimes words are not enough. I did leave it blank. A kiss is all I could think to give, and I sent it on its way."
Cliodhna Eoghan Smiles softly. "Better than what I wrote I think."
Sounsyy Mirke: "I believe I should be on my way. There is other business I must needs attend to. Cliodhna, always a pleasure."
Cliodhna Eoghan Nods "Of course, we should meet up for lunch or something at one point."
Sounsyy Mirke: "I would love that, of course."
Cliodhna Eoghan: Me too, just get in touch with me when you have time
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn comes up behind Cliodhna. "Hey, Cliodhna. Did I just miss the event?
Cliodhna Eoghan: Oh Kest...Yeah the performance is over but you're welcome to take a paper boat from the front of the fountain and write a wish on it to toss into the water.
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn sighs, "Dang it. Wish the boat got back sooner. Was looking forward to it." Looks over at the paper boats. "Thanks, I'll do that."
Cliodhna Eoghan: Least you made it for the paper boats
Jancis Milburga: "Happy you could be here and make a ship, Lady. Means a lot."
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Hi, Jancis. Cliodhna told me I miss it.
Jancis Milburga: "Afraid so. Forgive me. Surely there will still be music around the taverns tonight."
Jancis Milburga looks apologetically to Kestlona, "You coming here now means quite a bit Lady. Might be able to have your own celebration. It is still Her moon."
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn gives a sigh. "Pa was down a man on his boat so I said I would help. Lost track of time." She smiles. "Ah, hope to hear Nathan perform before heading back to Ul'dah."
Jancis Milburga: "If I know Master Telluride he might say something like he could not turn down such a lovely face. Or was it mayhaps a sweet lady. Either way."
Jancis Milburga: "But it was delightful. Lady Lottie sung with him. They are good harmony."
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Ah, that reminds me. A young miqo'te stop me last night. Ask if I could pass a message on to you, Jancis.
Jancis Milburga looks curious, "A message?"
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn thinks for a second. "Yeah. Said that he's going to miss the event but he's helping at his mom's clinic. Something about a new baby. He should be at the Grindstone tonight."
Jancis Milburga beams at Kestlona, "You speak of Master John? He ah, is about so high? Smooth hair pulled back at the nape?"
Suiren Waterflower: I am quite interested in the diversity of height and features amongst the races! Who are these big fellows like this one for example?
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn nods, "Yes, that sounds like the miqo'te. Still, never hear a hyur name on a miqo'te."
Jancis Milburga: "Nophica's Blessings! I shall have to ask him about the new babe! What good fortune to hear of."
Jancis Milburga: "I have only heard of a scant few with such names; some were taken in during Ala Mhiga's civil war."
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Ah, seem eager to get back to this clinic. Wonder if he was at the birth.
Jancis Milburga: "I only know the man in passing, but I can see he would be very happy for such an experience. He is nurturing in a way."
Jancis Milburga looks down, "I remember you little one. Happier to be here in the sea's sun than up north?" she directs at the chocobo.
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn smiles at the chocobo. "He was with me last week. Went up take supplies to my teacher." She turn trouble eyes back to Jancis. "It' pretty bad up in Coerthas."
Jancis Milburga: "Alas, it is. Nor does there seem to be any sign of it getting better. Must needs prepare as best we can for the worst and pray for the best."
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Ah, we can only hope.
Jancis Milburga turns her head, staring curiously at Suiren. "You do not have roegadyn from your village?"
Suiren Waterflower: No. The tallest of my men from my tribe are barely shorter then those Ro-ga-den. . .I'm sorry if I missaid it, miss!
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn turns her attention to Oka. "How was the hungover? Think you almost out drank me and Cliodhna at the party."
Suiren Waterflower: Did I pronounce "Roe-ga-din" correctly?
Suiren Waterflower: Oh thank you! Sake is much more powerful than rum, so I've developed quite a body for that.
Suiren Waterflower: Rum doesn't nearly get me as drunk as sake does.
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn chuckles at Oka. "Roe is just fine or Seawolf. The name Kestlona."
Suiren Waterflower: Oka, but you probably heard that already.
Suiren Waterflower: I remember drinking three cups of sake, then some bread and water, and finally like. . .four of five glasses of rum?
Suiren Waterflower: My head is still a bit fuzzy from last night.
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Ah. Though might have to try Sake. Sound like it's got more of a kick then Firewater does.
Suiren Waterflower: Where as it took me three glasses of rum to be drunk, it only took me a cup of sake to do the same.
Suiren Waterflower: Did I drink an entire bottle of rum???
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Yes, ya did. Then had the loudest belch ah ever heard.
Suiren Waterflower: A-ah really?!
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn looks thoughtful. Then you and the other female miqo'te started stripping.
Suiren Waterflower: W-who, Leanne-san?!
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Yep, that the one.
Suiren Waterflower: A-a-ah gods. . .I must have been pretty crazy last night! *embarrassing giggle*
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn snickers. "Yep. Think most of us got pretty smash, last night."
Suiren Waterflower: H-heheh it's like I become a different person when I'm drunk!
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn: Hey, at least you weren't ready to fight and it was in good fun.
Suiren Waterflower: Y-yea.
Suiren Waterflower shivers. "It's getting kinda breezy." She puts on her tunic.
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn stretch. "Going to head for the Wrench. See if Nathan is performing already." She glance over to Clio. "Going to say by to Cliodhna before I head off."
Suiren Waterflower: Well I'm going now! Bye everyone!
Kestlona Guhtgeiswyn comes over to Clio. "Heading for the Wrench to get a drink. Then I'm heading back to Ul'dah."
Cliodhna Eoghan Nods. "Alright, I'll see you later then."
Asmodean Gaidin: "Bring hope to the hopeless, Joy to the joyless and justice to those who need it the most." Asmodean looked out a the sea as he mumbled under his breath. He then looked about and smiled seeing that people about the area had enjoyed themselves and he had some part in helping to that.
Jancis Milburga: "Appreciate your time here, Lord. Means a lot to the pilgrims and citizens alike."
Asmodean Gaidin: "Think nothing of it. I owe the people of this city much. It was the least I could to repay my debt."
Jancis Milburga repeats 'debt' quietly, "Many of us have debts. Sometimes they even feel like boons what they give then make is pay on to others. You are kin to the city then." She motions to his war axe. "Best trainers for that reside here."
Asmodean Gaidin nods. "I have always felt like this was place I could call home. But I was glad I could help you all the same." He looked back at the crowd "After all they all seemed to enjoy themselves."
Jancis Milburga looks back at the crowd with Asmodean, nodding in agreement, "People have earned it well enough. Many might go to the Wench afterwards. They need breaks to remind themselves why life is hard. You need breaks too I hope you got to enjoy part."
Asmodean Gaidin: "Thank you of the kind words Lady Jancis, but I must take my leave. Be well, and the roads be safe."
Franz Renatus: "I thought I would try to make an appearance."
Jancis Milburga: "Is a nice thought."

Valentinoix Thibault: May I travel with thee, Jancis?
Jancis Milburga looks up at Valentinoix. "Ever patient, Sir. Of course I would welcome your company if you do not mind me saying farewell to the others here."
Valentinoix Thibault: Takest thy time. I am not in a hurry.
Valentinoix Thibault moves off to the side to not crowd or be crowded.
Jancis Milburga looks over at Valentinoix, "Is the light bothering you? These stones are quite bright and reflective."
Valentinoix Thibault: The light oft doth glare.
Valentinoix Thibault: Oft I simply close mine eyes if sight is not required.
Jancis Milburga nods, "Is a safe place to do so; the sounds of the seaport is quite soothing."
Valentinoix Thibault: Aye, verily so. The waves do hum a gentle tune.
Jancis Milburga brushes her robe off, gathering up all the little leftover boats.
Valentinoix Thibault blinks in the lower light. "Dost thou require assistance in carrying those?"
Jancis Milburga nods, offering Valentinoix the box. "It would be welcome. Little ones made more than enough."
Valentinoix Thibault takes the box, looking down into it. "Quite a number of extras, aye."
Jancis Milburga: "Can drop them off in my patrols or at the house. A lot of farmsteads did not have the time to make the trip here they will appreciate it. Shall we be off?"
Valentinoix Thibault: Aye, let us away.
Jancis Milburga smiles up at the elezen then waves to everyone else. "Be well and safe I shall look for you on the morrow!"
Jancis Milburga smiles at Kestlona, "Be well, Lady. thank you for coming here."
