Eva Zelorius smiles at Caen Macleod.
Eva Zelorius: "Thank you for being here, Caen."
Caen Macleod: it was a lovely parable.. one I think I may have heard already. *he smirked playfully*.
Eva Zelorius wraps an arm around Caen, embracing him gently. "I suppose it might have been a touch familiar for you."
Caen Macleod: so what do we do now?
Eva Zelorius: "I was going to wait around a bit, to see if anyone wished to speak about the parable, or anything really."
Caen Macleod: alright *he smiled again*.
Eva Zelorius: "There were some good performances this eve. Did you enjoy it?"
Caen Macleod: I will admit, I've never been to one of these before.
Caen Macleod: its interesting.
Eva Zelorius nods to Caen Macleod.
Caen Macleod: and yes the dancing was fun.
Eva Zelorius: "We used to hold storytelling events, back before.. Dalamud. This conjured memories of those.. pleasant ones, of course."
Caen Macleod nods to Eva Zelorius.
Caen Macleod: I'm glad you wanted to share this with me.
Costia Demora stands in place, she observes from a safe enough distance as the topic that had been played tonight was uncomfortable for her at best. Plus she was waiting for a few friends to finish up.
Eva Zelorius beckons to Costia Demora.
Eva Zelorius: "Didn't know she was here. I thought I saw A'eyshn in the crowd though."
Caen Macleod beckons to Costia Demora.
Caen Macleod: heh I had a hard time paying attention to much else.
Caen Macleod: shall we go get her?
Eva Zelorius: "You can. I should speak with Miss Jancis before we depart. It may be every other parable will be held away from the Sanctum going forward."
Caen Macleod: alright, I'll go see what's going on.
Costia Demora: "Hmn, Your all set it?"
Caen Macleod: what?
Caen Macleod: oh yes
Costia Demora motions toward the crowd, "Seems everything is settling."
Caen Macleod: it was a nice spirited gathering.
Costia Demora: "That's good to hear," She smiles warmly; She knew that Caen may know of her own 'lack' of belief, "Hope Eva's bit went well?"
Caen Macleod: aye, she did a wonderful job.
Costia Demora: "Sure you hung onto every syllable she spoke like a Opo Opo in a tree," She smiles clearly jesting.
Caen Macleod: its nice to finally rest for a few suns.
Costia Demora: "So... Are you faithful," She asks knowing what the topic of the eve was tonight, "I don't believe I've ever asked you that Caen."
Caen Macleod: I believe in Rhalgr's might yes.
Costia Demora smiles and nods, "Faith is good to have, Its just the same as hope."
Caen Macleod: in some ways they can go hand in hand.
Costia Demora nods; Clearly respecting everyone that has gathered here by not getting to deep in her own beliefs. "Why aren't you at her side right now?"
Caen Macleod: she needed to talk to the one in charge of the gathering.
Caen Macleod: I believe that others wanted to talk to her as well, about the parable.
Costia Demora: "I see. Since two of company mates are here I figured I'd watch and observe and see you two home safely," She offered a coy smile, "Not that I don't think either of you are capable, but it is no less my duty to do so."
Caen Macleod: well its nice of you to think of us.
Caen Macleod: how have you been as of late?
Costia Demora: "Why would I not? Eva is a good friend, probably one of the few I've left. Her well being is mine to watch," She then pondered briefly Caen's question, "I'm doing well enough. Alex and I postponed our wedding for another Moon."
Caen Macleod: something wrong?
Costia Demora: "Nothing..," She says monotone hiding any affliction of emotion, "... How's the Adders?"
Caen Macleod: well enough *he laughed* the shroud is still standing.
Caen Macleod: in this past moon I have done more that I thought I would have.
Costia Demora: "I ought to go pay my respects to Eva. I did tell her I'd make an appearance here. I know deep down she feels she can give me reason enough to 'pray' blindly to the things others worship. Suppose its a challenge for her." She smiles, "Are you working with Turk?"
Caen Macleod: haven't really seen him as of late, he's probably been on some lengthy assignments.
Costia Demora: "Suppose that's the nature of the beast. The longer you are in service the harder the work."
Caen Macleod: aye.
Costia Demora: "Hmn," She looks towards the others and back to Caen, "..So- I suppose she'll be tied up for awhile."
Jancis Milburga: "If you wish to speak to the priestess Eva - she is up on the hill and ready to hear your blessings. Also you can ask her about other parables she speaks regularly of the Twelve."
Finecia Hawke turned to Jancis and called out, "I do have one to speak with Lady Eva before she departs." then turns her attention back to Lexia and takes her hand, giving it a tight squeeze.
Finecia Hawke nods to Lexia and walks off to find Eva.
Finecia Hawke approaches the Priestess solemnly, her face most stoic but her eyes darkened some in the night, she stands before her tall and straight, but with a short bow of her head, she offers, "Lady Eva, I'd like for your prayers for those departed that they may find their way back to our world in some form continuing the cycle of life.
Eva Zelorius nods to Finecia Hawke.
Eva Zelorius: "Have you suffered some loss, recently?"
Finecia Hawke shook her head, her face more rigid and stoic, almost steeled against something as she kept her eyes focused on the Elezen, "No... not recently. Almost six years hence now... I wish.... I wish to release him from my hold. Let him go. He'd want that." her hands flexed and clenched a few times as she spoke.
Eva Zelorius gives a nod, looking thoughtfully at Finecia for a moment. "I see.. I would encourage you to look beyond that. Death sometimes seems senseless, but often there is more to most things than we are given to know. You say that he would want you to let go... and there may be some truth to that."
Eva Zelorius: "He does live on though, in your memories. In that way, he will never die so long as he is near to your heart. And there is some comfort in that. But six years is a long time to hold on... And you should consider what possibilities might avail themselves to you if you but only opened your heart to them."
Finecia Hawke looks back over her shoulder to Lexia and nodded slowly, understanding dawning on her, letting out a slow breath, "I believe that is the case." Turning back to the Priestess, "Can.... one thing.... transform into something other, more wonderful?" She asked but held her lips tight against her mouth.
Eva Zelorius taps her chin a few times, giving a slight nod of her head after pondering for a moment, "I think so. But it may not be the thing you expect it to be. Sometimes we are surprised. Sometimes love finds us when we don't want it to. It is a curious thing, and does not subscribe to any plan, or reasonable sense of logic. The heart is a strange and beautiful instrument."
Finecia Hawke bowed respectfully, seemingly almost with her own weight sagging at her shoulders, she then looked back up to the Priestess and straightened herself, "Thank you Priestess, you have been helpful. I will give my respects now to this earth here."
Eva Zelorius: "Of course, my dear. I pray that the Matron, and all of the Twelve bless you with clarity, and that you may find some peace after the loss you have suffered. May Nophica's blessing be upon you."
Costia Demora: "Well then lets see if her hands are not tied, aye?"
Caen Macleod: after you..
Costia Demora can be seen waiting patiently. She notes the dialogue as she walks into view.
Eva Zelorius beckons to Costia Demora.
Costia Demora: "Evening Eva. I apologize I couldn't pull myself away from my work earlier. I really did wish to support your endeavors this eve."
Eva Zelorius: "I remember how it is... You've naught to apologize for. Did you receive my missive though?"
Costia Demora: "I did receive your note, I do appreciate the communications. Alex and I do both plan to approach you about our personal matter."
Eva Zelorius: "All right."
Costia Demora: "I heard from Caen the eve went well?"
Eva Zelorius: "It was a bit unnerving with so many faces watching. But I think it went well enough."
Costia Demora: "I'm glad. I do know this sort of thing is really important to you. Passing on the words of the twelve and providing comfort to others. I'm really glad you were given allowance to partake this eve. Who do I thank for running such a gathering?"
Eva Zelorius: "I like your armour. Gold is a good look for you. Oh, ah... Miss Jancis over there contacted the church and they recommended me. The parable might take on a new form, going forward, now."
Eva Zelorius motions without pointing in Jancis' general direction.
Eva Zelorius nods to Costia Demora.
Costia Demora moves in slightly closer as to not want to cause offense. She speaks softly, "Though I may not have a strong belief in all these things but I would like to show you my support regardless. You are a friend and its been sometime since we acted like such.."
Costia Demora: "I would like us to have more talks in the future ourselves, if time mandates such. I miss your tea and your elder advice," She smirks jesting slightly.
Eva Zelorius nods, floundering a bit between topics as they are brought up.
Costia Demora gives a moment; she did feel slightly awkward at this locale but she stood there regardless.
Costia Demora: "So what are blessings?"
Eva Zelorius looks thoughtful for a moment, "That is a question I wrestled with for awhile, myself. Blessings are.. a way a priest or priestess can become like a conduit of the Twelve, and bestow upon a faithful worshipper a sense of.. warmth, or positivity, or... not always what they may want, but often what they need. It's.. very difficult to explain."
Costia Demora: "I see. So its string of words to comfort someone's mind as well as ease their worries?"
Eva Zelorius: "Sometimes it is words. Sometimes it is more than that. A asked a fellow before to speak a word or perform a deed of thanksgiving, in the Matron's name. It may seem a small thing, but it may brighten someone's day - which in turn could brighten others' days as well."
Eva Zelorius: "A lot of it has more to do with listening, than with speaking... So few I think feel that they are truly being heard. And that is important."
Costia Demora: "Interesting," She smiled, ".. Are these words you will be giving at Alex and my own wedding?"
Eva Zelorius: "I would imagine so, however that all depends on the bride and her wishes. In the end it is her day above any other."
Eva Zelorius smiles at Costia Demora.
Eva Zelorius: "That is much of what I had hoped to speak with you and Alex about."
Costia Demora: "Well do not relay this back to Alex but I'd prefer the Ceremony portion of our wedding to be focused on his beliefs..Since he has a stronger conviction then I."
Eva Zelorius: "You should not have secrets from him like that. And you should both be in agreement. That is one thing I wish to speak with you both about. When you are both ready, of course."
Eva Zelorius: "Your beliefs are important too, dearie."
Costia Demora: "..I'm speaking to you as a friend, that I will most likely just go along with his belief in Rhalgar. I've not many matters in ceremony in concerns of the twelve."
Eva Zelorius frowns only slightly and only for a moment, giving a slight nod of her head. "We'll figure it all out together."
Costia Demora: "I thought to be honest with you, since you will be conducting our ceremony," She smiles, "Besides.. out of all those left from the days of yore, your one of the few I feel I can speak frank to."
Eva Zelorius: "I do appreciate that, too. Always valued A'eyshn for that reason, as well. Sugar coating's well and good for some, but I rather be told news plainly and without any bias. I'll make sure to emphasize this as well when we speak with Alex."
Eva Zelorius: "Do you have any notion about when that may be? There are a few matters to discuss, and some planning. A rehearsal is often a good idea so that you are prepared for when your guests are present, and know what you need to say... There is much to discuss."
Costia Demora: "Hmn. I did not realize that there was so much preparations."
Eva Zelorius: "It's a lot of planning. We can simplify some of it though."
Caen Macleod: I am willing to help in anything needed.
Costia Demora: "That would be appreciated," She smiled half-hearted, "..to be honest I'm glad you accepted the role. I really do not have to many people in this world I consider a friend. It does me and my future family great honor."
Eva Zelorius: "You've come a long way from that girl I met in Limsa Lominsa who bumped into me and dropped groceries every which way... I am proud of you Costia."
Costia Demora: "I've had good instructors in my life to grace me with their experiences and to provide the cobblestone for my path. Still, my time in Ul'dah was just as equally impactful. A combination of it all I really think gave me the means to get where I've come."
Costia Demora: "Appears you have lips that wish to utter words for your ears, " She commented softly, "I will leave you to your business Eva."
Costia Demora bows courteously to Eva Zelorius.
Eva Zelorius: "Of course. Please let me know when you and Alex can speak together sometime, at more length. The Twelve bless and protect you in the meantime."
Costia Demora nods though she takes the blessing with respect of her friend, "You as well."
Caen Macleod: I will go wait over there.
Eva Zelorius welcomes Coatleque Crofte.
Coatleque Crofte: "Hm? Oh, yes."
Coatleque Crofte smiles at Eva Zelorius.
Eva Zelorius: "Is there aught I may help with? Or have you come for a blessing?"
Coatleque Crofte: "Yes. I mean both. I mean... I wanted to say that I thought your parable to be the most touching of the stories here."
Eva Zelorius: "Oh, thank you dearie. That one is.. close to my heart. I am pleased that you were touched by my words."
Coatleque Crofte: "I was. I had hoped to entreat the Matron that she may bless me should I... should I ever be bonded. It is what I have desired since I was a girl."
Coatleque Crofte shifts on her feet awkwardly.
Eva Zelorius: "The 6th Astral is always an easy moon for the parable. I find it natural to speak of Nophica and her blessings. I can... Let me see..."
Eva Zelorius gazes heavenward, "Matron, please hear your child's yearning heart. That she may one day know the blessing of motherhood she has desired from the time she was a wee lass."
Coatleque Crofte looks down and blushes.
Coatleque Crofte: "Thank you, Miss."
Eva Zelorius smiles softly at Coatleque, "It is not a selfish thing to wish for. It is a lot of work, but not without greater reward. I pray that you may someday get your wish, but... do not rush too quickly into it. The right father is also important."
Coatleque Crofte nods to Eva Zelorius.
Coatleque Crofte: "Of course. I shall take your words to heart. Perhaps some day Menphina shall reveal him."
Eva Zelorius: "If you would pay the blessing forward, find someone who is a mother and help them, even in some small way. Small deeds have a way of creating large smiles."
Eva Zelorius: "I shall further pray that the Lover helps you find one whom is fit. When the time is right."
Eva Zelorius smiles at Coatleque Crofte.
Coatleque Crofte looks around the flowers in thought for a moment before her eyes lift back to Eva. "I shall consider doing that as well. Thank you again. I should... I should go now."
Eva Zelorius smiles and nods, "The Twelve go with you dear."
Coatleque Crofte: "And you as well."

Eva Zelorius nudges Caen gently with her index finger in the ribs. "C'mon?"
Caen Macleod: alright.. sorry got a bit distracted.
Eva Zelorius takes Caen's hand in her own, patting it gently with her other hand before they walk off together.

Eva Zelorius smiles softly at Coatleque, "It is not a selfish thing to wish for. It is a lot of work, but not without greater reward. I pray that you may someday get your wish, but... do not rush too quickly into it. The right father is also important."
Coatleque Crofte nods to Eva Zelorius.
Coatleque Crofte: "Of course. I shall take your words to heart. Perhaps some day Menphina shall reveal him."
Eva Zelorius: "If you would pay the blessing forward, find someone who is a mother and help them, even in some small way. Small deeds have a way of creating large smiles."
Eva Zelorius: "I shall further pray that the Lover helps you find one whom is fit. When the time is right."
Eva Zelorius smiles at Coatleque Crofte.
Coatleque Crofte looks around the flowers in thought for a moment before her eyes lift back to Eva. "I shall consider doing that as well. Thank you again. I should... I should go now."
Eva Zelorius smiles and nods, "The Twelve go with you dear."
Coatleque Crofte: "And you as well."
Eva Zelorius nudges Caen gently with her index finger in the ribs. "C'mon?"
Caen Macleod: alright.. sorry got a bit distracted.
Eva Zelorius takes Caen's hand in her own, patting it gently with her other hand before they walk off together.
