I was studying the book Irridias Velnyx gave me for Starlight at the Seventh Heaven in Revenant’s Toll this evening. I expected it to be a quiet night, most everyone I know busy with the holiday season. It was both an unexpected, but welcome surprise when I was joined by Grenat Querroux, a fellow Duskwight I’d befriended some time back. We haven’t had much opportunity to simply sit and visit, so it was a pleasant way to pass the time.

We caught up on news between us and I learned, much to my chagrin, that Grenat was not in a relationship with Theronault Olivier as I’d presumed. They were always together whenever I saw them and seemed very close – it seemed like a natural and perfectly acceptable thing to assume! It would appear that I am, however, mistaken on that score.
I told Grenat of my upcoming Bonding to Ree, which he seemed elated. He said it would have been a waste for a heart as good as mine to go unclaimed. He seemed largely impressed by what I told him of Ree, particularly that my bright-heart is both Ishgardian and a dragoon. Grenat has aspirations toward that noble profession, it would seem. Hopefully, I’ll be able to introduce the two of them soon. While I don’t know that Ree would train him, I have no doubt that he would be able to direct him to someone who can.
When Grenat found me this evening, he was in a rather sorry state. He claimed it was in the due course of obtaining a Starlight present for someone. (That’s where I’d mistakenly presumed it was for Theronault…) He never told me what it was or what he was doing to obtain such injury, only that it was a Garlean that had committed the deed. It was no wonder he readily volunteered to help with the investigations into the stolen shipment of Augmented Scintillant Ingots. He had a score to settle with the Garleans, it seemed.
Still, I am never one to ignore the pain and suffering of my friends, so I took Grenat to the infirmary in the House of Splendors and saw to it that his hurts were healed. Once done, we parted ways, but not before I told him I’d send for him so we could track the Ishgardian Machinist in the Shroud within the next few suns. Perhaps this will mean I’ll get to see more of my ‘cousin’ – we aren’t related by blood, but he is a Duskwight which still makes him my kindred.Â
