Reima Awen shifts slightly before working up the nerve to approach the stone.
Reima Awen smiles faintly to Eva, piping up in a low voice.
Eva Zelorius smiles softly at Reima, whispering her reply in an evenly low tone.
Reima Awen regards the stone with a thoughtful expression as she speaks.
Eva Zelorius gives Reima a reassuring nod and hazards placing a hand on her shoulder, looking upon the stone with her.
Reima Awen nods slowly, weighing Eva's words, and though she's surprised at the sudden touch, it's only a moment before she eases.
Reima Awen looks up at Eva, a serene but terribly sorrowful smile on her face. "Ah, but I shan't keep you with my blathering." She manages an awkward chuckle. "There are others who need to speak with you, Lady."
Eva Zelorius smiles gently at Reima and pats her hand once before letting go.
Reima Awen calls back over her shoulder. "Lady Bryn, Miss Ember? Be well, won't you?" She flashes a grin, waves overhead before climbing the hill.
Brynhilde Wulf "And you, Reima!"
Flickering Ember "I hear very many voices I know here. But...very many people. Not know where everyone is."
Reima Awen calls over. "Silly, I was standing just next to you! You looked right through me as though we'd never met before!"
Reima Awen covers her mouth with both hands, wincing. "Twelve, what a fool I am. Ember, I'm sorry!"
Flickering Ember Why sorry?
Reima Awen swings around on a heel and promptly gives the towering woman a hug about the waist"Â I was trying to stay quiet for the procession, and I forgot myself, is all.
Flickering Ember lifts her arms to gently sweep across Reima's back--a semblance of a hug without being able to bend over at that angle.
Reima Awen releases Ember and backs up with a dancing step. "But I shan't keep you. We will meet again at home, yes?"
Edda Eglantine "I am sure you will have a better fortune now."
Flickering Ember is still confused however. "Is alright, Reima. Hard find people with this many. But a lady let me sit with her."
Flickering Ember Find you later. Maybe we talk about our favorite stories together!
Flickering Ember I liked...hearing them.
Reima Awen "Yes, please! I'd like that!"
Reima Awen "Travel well, both of you."
Brynhilde Wulf takes one last lingering look at Nymeia's stone before turning away.
Flickering Ember moves to Astridr and crawls up onto it, holding onto Brynhilde. "Goodbye, Reima."

Mikha Sunthistle rises, then offers Kohta a hand up. "Me too!" he replies to their quiet conversation, then glances around at the crowd, looking for other familiar faces. "I'm happy we ran into each other."
P'kohta Tia takes his hand, but pops up onto his feet mostly under his own power. "We should meet again soon! Heh, I'll end up missing you if we go so long without meeting again!"
Mikha Sunthistle nods, still smiling. "Maybe we could get a meal sometime? Lunch or dinner or something?"
P'kohta Tia "Oh! Yeah! We were gunna try some turtle meat!"
Mikha Sunthistle laughs at that. "Yeah, we'll have to go to Ul'dah and try that. See you then, okay?"
P'kohta Tia gives a couple quick nods, beaming a huge grin and Mikha. "Sounds great! I'll try to talk to someone for you before then too!"
Mikha Sunthistle looks over his shoulder as Tau goes by, giving him a wave.
Mikha Sunthistle 's smile appears once more at Kohta's words. "Thanks, I mean it! Send me a letter if you need to talk to me, okay? Or you can find me around the Shroud."
P'kohta Tia "Sure, I'll keep you in mind! Oh, and same for you too! Well, except I split my time between Limsa and Ul'Dah these days."
Mikha Sunthistle smiles and nods. "Okay then, see you!" He gives the Miqo'te a wave, then turns to go.
P'kohta Tia waves back, then turns to glance over the crowd, wondering if there's anyone he ought to say hello to before making his own way off.
P'kohta Tia shows Jancis a wide grin and waves as he makes his way up the cliff.
Mikha Sunthistle stops before the two. He gives Tausen a smile, then looks to Jancis. "Thanks for holding this, ma'am. I really enjoyed coming and listening to everything." He watches her to see if she recognizes him, smiling as he does.
Jancis Milburga smiles at Mikha, "Truly? I am so glad Lord Mikha. Is good to see you again, even without ice being flung all over. You got to enjoy instead of work."
Mikha Sunthistle 's face lights up as she remembers him. He flashes a smile at her, then tries to school his expression into something more serious and mature. "It's good to see you again, too. Sorry I haven't been coming around as much, I do lots of work. It's good to see you again though! I'll come by and say hi again soon."
Jancis Milburga "That would be welcome, Lord Mikha. Surely you have been out on sojourn and doing hard work. At least if that bow is worth its weight to carry it."
Mikha Sunthistle nods that he has been, and looks proud that she noticed his bow. Then his stomach gives a rumble, loud enough to carry. He chuckles. "I'm starving. Have a good evening, ma'am. Stay safe!"
Jancis Milburga "Oh yes, you as well. Travel safe and eat heartily!"
Mikha Sunthistle nods that he will. He returns the bow, gives her a wave and a happy smile, then heads off at a trot.
â™ â™ â™
Vaughn Antain "Once again, thank you for hosting a wonderful prayer, Lady Jancis."
Jancis Milburga beams at Vaughn, bowing, "Is good to see you, Vaughn! Dare this view of you is unique." She laughs in good humor at her spot from the hillside.
Vaughn Antain smiles. "Indeed. I've always enjoyed the view here."
Jancis Milburga "Be safe Vaughn."

Y'rhen Tia rubs the back of his neck and yawns. "That was new.."
Y'rhen Tia gently pats the cactuar cutting.
Y'rhen Tia raises his hand slightly. "I'll take one.."
Y'rhen Tia holds his hand out to Iskierka.
Y'rhen Tia nods. "Thank you."
Y'rhen Tia snaps the cookie in half putting the other half in his hand. He uses his free hand to remove the small paper and read it.
Y'rhen Tia blinks down at it. "Hmm interesting." puts the cookies into his mouth and rubs the back of his neck. He bows to Iskierka.

Lottie Forsaidh "Hrm, I wonder what ceremony would be next in line."
Leanne Delphium rubs her chin. "Hum..need to think of what I will do this evening..have nothing in the plans..."
Lottie Forsaidh "Hrm, well, what do you usually do around the eve?"
Nathan Telluride "I think the Celebration of Byregot is in planning? I could be wrong."
Leanne Delphium "Oh, yes! It's Byregot's moon, the next one righty?!"
Nathan Telluride rubs his chin. "I'm not so attuned to the Builder, but several of our circle already have tributes in preparation now. I shall have to get creative."
Leanne Delphium "I want to create something very special in honor of Mr. Beatin. You know him, righty?"
Nathan Telluride "I know of Beatin. He does seem to be a fine inspiration. If I only knew who constructed my own lute, I could write epics about that... but I know it not."
Leanne Delphium tilts her head. "Humm. Well, I'm sure you will think of something, Mr. Nathan! Perhaps something in honor of Ms. Lottie? If that works somehow."
Leanne Delphium nods. "So I will...! For both questions!" with a grin, she provides a polite curtsy, and sneaks out...!
•••
Leanne Delphium purses her lips. "May you...eat the cookie first."
Jana Ridah gets into the line that has cookies in it, not really knowing about anything else involved.
Jana Ridah Um.
Jana Ridah ...Are we supposed to do something to get a cookie...?
Jana Ridah blankly looks at the cookie while she considers the "fortune" before popping it into her mouth whole.
Jana Ridah 's mouth is full, so she just gives Leanne a tiny wave.
Leanne Delphium blinks. "Hi! I was...going to check on you!" she tilts her hand, hand brought to her hips. "You seemed a tad dislocated."
Jana Ridah glances around nervously. "...It's true, I am... Quite out of place here."
Leanne Delphium smiles gently. "So you seem like! Want help? Or dunno, just chat?" she raises a brow.
Jana Ridah keeps glancing around. "...I don't think I'd have much good to say at a religious gathering. Honestly... I'm wondering why I came."
Leanne Delphium "Perhaps you're trying to be social?" she then smirks. "Or Nymeia dictated that you should appear to her pilgrimage...!"
Jana Ridah turns from glum to sour. "If that's true, then 'fate' has dealt me an even worse hand than I'd thought."
Leanne Delphium "No need to be like that...! I'm here, right? We can chat, have fun...!"
Jana Ridah sighs, idly brushing some hair out of her face as she regards Leanne. "True... Things like this let the bad thoughts in. I merely need to crowd them out..."
Leanne Delphium "I was going to ask if you got your fortune cookie, but your mouth was stuffed with it, so..."
Leanne Delphium chuckles, regarding Rhen and tipping her hat.
Jana Ridah Ah- It um, says... Something about prosperity coming to me. I don't really know what I was expecting...
Y'rhen Tia Nods in return to the hat tip.
Leanne Delphium "We hardly do. Mine said that I will always make people happy. If anything, well...I don't like to see you down, and apparently I have the ability to cheer people up!"
Leanne Delphium "So hey, if you want to do anything, tell me! I can involve Rhen in it. He will not complain."
Leanne Delphium points to Rhen. "Say hi Rhen."
Y'rhen Tia "Wait what? Huh sure yes..I'll do it?"
Leanne Delphium "I'd like to tend towards sack of gil or something abstract and yet enjoyable. Head of enemies aren't my thing..."
Jana Ridah Well, that's easy enough to interpret. Assuming these fortunes are real, I don't know if I'm going to find a sack of gil on the ground or the heads of enemies... Wealth is an abstract thing.
Leanne Delphium winces a bit.
Jana Ridah gives a little shrug. "Different tastes."
Leanne Delphium "Questionable. Not gonna complain though, people find enjoyable whatever they want to...!"
Leanne Delphium looks away. But her usual hint of disapproval was there. She was just trying to hide it.
Y'rhen Tia "Like punching things..or drawing.."
Jana Ridah is easily able to pick up on something like disapproval, but she doesn't show it. "...In any case, how long have you been around here?"
Leanne Delphium "For a while! I love come and participate in Ms. Jancis pilgrimages! I couldn't perform though, because I...dunno what to speak about fate. Also, you draw?"
Leanne Delphium regards Rhen.
Y'rhen Tia nods." I do. Should go check out Melis room. One of the pictures she has is one I drew of her. I normally draw people put I have been working on other creatures. Mostly bugs right now."
Leanne Delphium "Why bugs?"
Y'rhen Tia blinks and shrugs."Well, I've drawn a lot of people..sometimes I draw them when I am just sitting around. I don't normally tell people when I am drawing and that feels a little weird. So I moved to bugs..plus they are interesting."
Leanne Delphium 's player suddenly understand the bug boy title.
Leanne Delphium "Aah, so ya...sort of a bug boy? Kinda?"
Jana Ridah glances between the two other, not wanting to interrupt with her own (largely negative) thoughts on bugs.
Leanne Delphium "Like collecting bugs? Or studying them?"
Y'rhen Tia rubs the back of his neck." A little yes. I don't collect them or anything like that. Just draw them and keep them out of the Company house."
Y'rhen Tia blinks. "Studying would be the best word.."
Leanne Delphium nods. "Nice! And seems like a fun hobby!" she nods approvingly. "I do draw, but I'm not a professional. And I tend to try drawing mostly scenery-" she looks to Jana. As if knowing what she's thinking, Leanne waves her hand in front of her.
Leanne Delphium "Oi, Jana..!"
Jana Ridah ...Mmm?
Y'rhen Tia nods.
Leanne Delphium "Aah, never mind...anyhow...as much as I'd like to stay further, I oughta go back...as to not make your journey here unproductive...dunno, later, want to go eat something?"
Leanne Delphium looks to Jana with a shrug.
Jana Ridah Eat... Oh, um. If you don't mind waiting a little, I wanted to check in with a couple others first. I don't think it would take very long...
Leanne Delphium chuckles. "It is not right now! At a later time. As I said, just for the sake of making your pilgrimage more fulfilling...!"
Y'rhen Tia rubs the back of his neck before bowing to Leanne."Er see you around later Leanne."
Leanne Delphium "Ah! Going already too, Rhen?"
Jana Ridah tilts her head to the side a little in confusion, but quietly gives an "okay" before looking past Leanne.
Y'rhen Tia blinks and shakes his head."Er I think I misunderstood. I thought you were leaving.." smiles. "Heh"
Leanne Delphium "Ah, no! Good lord, I said that it would be at a later time!"
Leanne Delphium frowns lightly. "Good gosh, is people ignoring my words?"
Y'rhen Tia waves his hands. "No no. I just rain..lots of things going through my head, spacing out a lot.."
Leanne Delphium sighs. "Anyway...I will be going, yes. Just saying bye to everyone."
Y'rhen Tia nods. "Ah alright...um.."
Leanne Delphium "Stop acting lost and just saying see you later."
Y'rhen Tia "Eh sorry about that. I'll see you later."
Leanne Delphium "Ms. Clio! When is the drinking contest?"
Cliodhna Eoghan In a few days actually…
Leanne Delphium "Count me there! I will be taking the crown! Hopefully."
Cliodhna Eoghan I'll keep an eye out for you then!
Leanne Delphium gives her a thumbs up before tipping her hat to Brave.

Edda Eglantine "And how are you, Chachanji?"
Chachanji Gegenji A-ah, doin' pretty good.
Edda Eglantine "That is good to hear."
Chachanji Gegenji Heard that this was yer first time presentin' in front'a folkses fer a pilly grammage.
Edda Eglantine "Y-yes, it was..."
Chachanji Gegenji Well, ya did super good! I didn't even know until Mel-chan told me!
Edda Eglantine "Oh, thank you! Truly, you give me confidence saying as such... I was very nervous."
Chachanji Gegenji But man... I dunno what I would do if'n I knew th' future, y'know?
Edda Eglantine thinks. "Yes, I feel like it would be rather scary myself. It would be good to know some things, but what about foreseeing death?"
Virara Wakuwa "I don't think about such things."
Virara Wakuwa "I don't know the future, and I hate thinking about 'what if's.'"
Virara Wakuwa states coolly, almost a bit aggressively.
Chachanji Gegenji R-right... I dun think I'd wanna know 'bout that...
Edda Eglantine "Indeed... What about you, Meli?"
Memeli Meli If I knew the future, my road to conquering Eorzea with my supremely powerful power would become that much easier! Nyehehe... Hahaha. NYAHAHAHAHA!
Edda Eglantine "Er... Quite right."
Virara Wakuwa "... Just as expected of the Great Hero Memeli..."
Chachanji Gegenji I'd... jus' wanna know if'n I'd see me brother again.
Memeli Meli HRM!
Edda Eglantine "Your brother?"
Chachanji Gegenji I mean... Ms. Hat 'pparently saw 'im recently.
Chachanji Gegenji S-so, I'm hopin' I will get ta see 'im meself, soon.
Memeli Meli Well, I can tell ya that Chachan! The answer is a big yes!
Virara Wakuwa "... She met him?"
Virara Wakuwa "Where?"
Chachanji Gegenji A-ah, she didn't say.
Chachanji Gegenji Somewhere in th' Shroud.
Chachanji Gegenji She's gots folks lookin' fer 'im...
Edda Eglantine "But he is alive and well, yes?"
Chachanji Gegenji Yeah, so I'm takin' comfort in that fer now...
Chachanji Gegenji But...
Edda Eglantine "Surely you will meet again if you are both well... Do not despair."
Chachanji Gegenji R-right. I'm jus'... worried 'bout some'a th' things Ms. Hat said, is all...
Chachanji Gegenji But... I can always ask 'im when we finally see each other again.
Edda Eglantine "That is a good way of looking at it. I shall pray for you both, then."
Virara Wakuwa "... What did she say?"
Chachanji Gegenji A-ah... jus'... what happened when they met.
Virara Wakuwa continues to prod. She's forgotten of Chachanji's personal space, so enthralled she is.
Virara Wakuwa "... Like what?"
Chachanji Gegenji A-ah... w-well... um... like... he's 'pparently in hidin'...
Chachanji Gegenji 'n... um...
Chachanji Gegenji He... uh... he thinks I'm dead.
Virara Wakuwa blinks curiously. "...Thinks you're dead?"
Virara Wakuwa "... What makes him think so?"
Chachanji Gegenji Dunno... but I'm hopin' ta show 'im otherwise soon enough.
Chachanji Gegenji ... Once we find 'im again.
Virara Wakuwa "... I want to help you."
Virara Wakuwa is startlingly passionate about it.
Chachanji Gegenji A-ah, w-well... jus' keepin' an eye out fer 'im is good fer now...
Chachanji Gegenji He was last seen in th' Shroud, though...
Virara Wakuwa "... I will do so."
Chachanji Gegenji So I dunno if'n he'd be 'round here...
Virara Wakuwa "... The Shroud. We visited there, but, the 'distraction' was quite much."
Memeli Meli .....
Chachanji Gegenji Yeah...
Virara Wakuwa "I don't know if we could find him in such an expanse."
Chachanji Gegenji A-anyroad! This is a time'a celebration, yeah?
Virara Wakuwa "I wonder if Leanne knew where he wanted to go next."
Virara Wakuwa blinks. "... Oh? I see."
Chachanji Gegenji Let's jus' be happy that he's still 'round... 'n hope that Fate'll bring 'im ta us sooner rather'n later.
Virara Wakuwa senses that for some reason Chachanji doesn't want to talk about finding him, though that clearly confuses her.
Memeli Meli moves to shake Chachan exactly twice.
Chachanji Gegenji Ah-ah! W-what?
Memeli Meli shrugs. "...I think this is for good luck." She walks over to do the same for Virara.
Chachanji Gegenji O-oh. Akay then.
Virara Wakuwa "oOoOoh."
Virara Wakuwa 's voice wavers as she shakes about.
Memeli Meli Lucky lucky~
Memeli Meli Wait... Do I smell cookies?!
Memeli Meli looks at Isk, holding her hand out expectantly...
Memeli Meli I WANT ONE!!
Memeli Meli breaks it apart, taking the paper out unlike some certain savage hyur, then plops the baked bits into her mouth. "Mmmm~"
Chachanji Gegenji So, um... did ya find where th' cookies were, Mel-chan?
Chachanji Gegenji I thought I heard ya talkin' 'bout them earlier, when ya ran off.
Edda Eglantine "Oh! I should get a fortune then..."
Memeli Meli Huh? What'd ya say Chachan?
Chachanji Gegenji I was jus' askin' if'n ya found th' cookies ya were lookin' fer.
Virara Wakuwa disagrees.
Virara Wakuwa "I don't need a fortune."
Memeli Meli ...Anyways, I'm gonna grab another cookie!
Virara Wakuwa "But a cookie would be nice."
Edda Eglantine "Memeli. Wait your turn."
Edda Eglantine "Yes."
Edda Eglantine "...Yes."
Edda Eglantine clears her throat. "Um... Yes, my apologies."
Edda Eglantine lets out a shaky breath. "M-my! That is good, I was expecting far worse. Thank you kindly."
Virara Wakuwa watches Cliodhna Eoghan in silence.
Virara Wakuwa stares wordlessly at the cookie, apparently already not taking the fortune to heart...
Virara Wakuwa eats it hastily.
Chachanji Gegenji Yes please!
Chachanji Gegenji ... stares at his "fortune."
Chachanji Gegenji ... I dun gettit...
Memeli Meli ME ME ME! Give me mine!
Chachanji Gegenji Was yer fortune weird too, Virara?
Chachanji Gegenji nibbles lightly on his cookie.
Virara Wakuwa "... It told me I should use my voice more."
Memeli Meli WHOOO! Yea! All the best parties need this Legendary Hero, after all! Nyahaha! Thank you~
Virara Wakuwa "... But I already know to yell when striking."
Chachanji Gegenji Mine said someone was trapped at a cookie factory.
Virara Wakuwa scratches her head.
Virara Wakuwa "... A joke?"
Memeli Meli munches cheerfully. "I'm goin' to a party."
Virara Wakuwa "... A party?"
Memeli Meli I'ma be invited soon! Nyooo! I wonder from who...
Chachanji Gegenji shows his fortune paper to Virara. It indeed states that the writer is trapped at a cookie factory. Or some such.
Virara Wakuwa stares at the fortune, clearly perplexed.
Virara Wakuwa "... They make these in factories?"
Memeli Meli Oh no... WE GOTTA SAVE HER!
Memeli Meli dashes off without thinking.
Chachanji Gegenji M-Mel-chan...!
Chachanji Gegenji ... we dun even know where th' factory is...
Memeli Meli Oop! Janny!
Jancis Milburga smiles at Memeli, "Have a good time?"
Memeli Meli Once again, it was lovely! Nyahaha!
Jancis Milburga "Ah... how many cookies have you had?"
Virara Wakuwa "I don't have much use for this Spinner. But I see that she is comforting to others."
Memeli Meli Ahh... Two? ..CAN I GET MORE?!
Jancis Milburga "Well, ah, mayhaps a couple more..."
Chachanji Gegenji I jus' had th' one with th' goofy fortune.
Memeli Meli Nyooo! They were yummy! Oh, right...
Memeli Meli moves to shake Janny exactly twice.
Jancis Milburga looks at Virara, "You do not feel that She is by your side? Or, ah, weaving your thread with others lik-" she's interrupted, shaking about. "Ah!"
Memeli Meli Its good luck.
Jancis Milburga looks surprised, her expression molding into a smile. "Good luck." she repeats.
Memeli Meli Shake twice otherwise yer playin' with it!
Chachanji Gegenji ... what?
Caen Macleod smirked.
Memeli Meli That was my fortune...
Jancis Milburga nods boldly, "Twice! Not once! What a curious fortune..."
Chachanji Gegenji ... I thought yer fortune was 'bout goin' ta a party.
Memeli Meli Ah, I suppose it was more than twice...
Virara Wakuwa "I don't know. Is it an Eorzean culture, this shaking thing?"
Chachanji Gegenji 'snew ta me.
Virara Wakuwa VIGOROUSLY shakes Memeli twice.
Jancis Milburga "Yes, new to me as well. But seems solid."
Memeli Meli NyHAhahaHAha...Whoa! GAH! HELP EARTHQUA.. Oh.
Virara Wakuwa grows quiet, however.
Jancis Milburga "What about you, Sir Gegenji? Did you have any well wishes or good fortune to share?"
Chachanji Gegenji I gotta weird fortune.
Virara Wakuwa "... If the Weaver supposedly controls our fate, then why did she..."
Virara Wakuwa mutters under her breath. "No, it's nothing. Never mind."
Memeli Meli looks at Vira curiously...
Jancis Milburga raises a curious brow at Chachanji, "Weird?"
Chachanji Gegenji still has the slip of paper, so he shows it to Jancis! It reads "Help! I'm being held prisoner in a cookie bakery!"
Jancis Milburga "...."
Jancis Milburga is lost for words for a minute, before she breaks out in laughter. "Thaliak's Mercy!"
Chachanji Gegenji Virara thinks it might jus' be a joke...
Chachanji Gegenji pouts.
Jancis Milburga "I agree with Lady Virara. It is to make you smile. Your fortune is glad!"
Chachanji Gegenji I-if'n ya say so...
Chachanji Gegenji grinds a toe into the ground bashfully. Perhaps he was hoping for at least some hinting's towards other matters.
Jancis Milburga purses her lips in thought. "Mayhaps you should make your own fortunes." She points to the two others, "What do you wish for both of them?"
Virara Wakuwa is jolted back into attentiveness at the mention of her name. "What?"
Chachanji Gegenji What I want fer 'em...? Um...
Chachanji Gegenji Well, right now... I want Mel-chan ta get her happy, smilin' face back...
Chachanji Gegenji 'n I want that meanie after Virara ta go away.
Virara Wakuwa blinks. "... You needn't wish for something like that. Even if you did, it wouldn't help me."
Virara Wakuwa states bluntly, though her tone is very flattered.
Memeli Meli Exactly right! We'll kick his keister with or without Nymeia's help!
Chachanji Gegenji W-well, helpful or not... that's what I'd like ta happen, y'know?
Jancis Milburga looks at Chachanji, "That is very practical fortune. Hmm... what would be fitting for you in return."
Virara Wakuwa "... I see. Then it is appreciated..."
Memeli Meli Pah, its rainin' again...
Memeli Meli shivers.
Jancis Milburga "But you are right, shall definitely strike hard on these threats to both of you. Especially with... with that shadow dealt with."
Virara Wakuwa "... Perhaps we should return home."
Jancis Milburga "You three call if anything happens along the way."
Chachanji Gegenji Shadow...?
Memeli Meli We'll be okay! We're the strongest lalas there is, after all!
Jancis Milburga "Quite right. If anything, they will have to call for help."
Memeli Meli Nyehehe! I'll come runnin'! Even if yer stuck in the dreaded cookie factory dungeons!
Chachanji Gegenji I... I think we decided it was a joke fortune, Mel-chan...
Memeli Meli Cookie dungeons are no joke, Chachanji.
Memeli Meli Anyways, let's hit the road. Nyahaha! I want more cookies....
Chachanji Gegenji A-ah, right.
Jancis Milburga waves to the trio.
Virara Wakuwa gives Jancis Milburga an elaborate bow.
Jancis Milburga bows, giving Virara a warm smile as her head lifts back up.
Jancis Milburga "Shall see you at Coralhaus soon."
Virara Wakuwa "... I'll be on my way. I appreciate getting to learn a bit more about one of the Twelve today."

Nathan Telluride sets his hand on Lottie's hand and playfully moves it about.
Lottie Forsaidh nudges Nathan slightly with a bump of her hip, "Shall we take a walk and visit the fireflies?"
Nathan Telluride looks to Lottie. "You just want me to compliment you about how they make your eyes sparkle. And I have no issue with that, my dear."
Lottie Forsaidh snorts, "That still won't pardon that little joke of yours about our pillow fight. But I suppose you can..." A palm lightly but playfully pushes at his broad chest before hiking up the trail.
Jancis Milburga "Lady Lottie. You look like the Spinner Herself! Thank you for coming."
Lottie Forsaidh 's smile was small but sincere, "You flatter me, Lady Jancis! If it supports you, then I strive to appear my best for each celebration."
Lottie Forsaidh "If there's anything you need, please, notify me."
Nathan Telluride "Lady Milburga, you have presented a wondrous display for us all tonight, not even diminished by my absence from it. You are to be congratulated."
Jancis Milburga "I think it is in good faith to. Master Telluride would know much about attire, no?"
Lottie Forsaidh elbows at Nathan lightly.
Jancis Milburga bows her head humbly, "Thank you very much Master Telluride."
Nathan Telluride grins at Lottie. "That elbow of yours... it can't keep itself away from my side, can it?"
Lottie Forsaidh "Afraid not."
Lottie Forsaidh "But don't let me interrupt your conversation - I just wished to send you wishes of a good evening."
Nathan Telluride "Then at least grant me the arm that goes with it, and we will see to the rest of the evening.. and prepare for the next show."
Jancis Milburga "You are a wonderful interruption, ah, I mean. You are not ever unwelcome. You both will travel safely, yes?"
Lottie Forsaidh 's smile widens briefly, "With hope, we shall." She finds the three lalafell and inclines her head politely. "Pleasant dreams, all of you."
Nathan Telluride "May fate give you all the warmest of smiles and the best of outcomes, all."

W'reina Yue stands and stretches, again looking about shyly.
W'reina Yue nods, "y-yes please."
W'reina Yue smiles at the fortune, and the pair of people, before returning to the cliff to observe the sea. Even through the rain it was beautiful, and she found herself humming again.
Jancis Milburga "Thank you for coming, Lady. Very happy to see a new face."
W'reina Yue "Thank you, it was a lovely meeting."
Jancis Milburga smiles at W'reina. "Did you have a chance to speak with the priestess? Or get a cookie?"
W'reina Yue smiles at Jancis, "I did get a cookie but... I was too shy to speak with the priestess," she says with a blush.
Jancis Milburga "Hm, your face is familiar. You were north of here earlier, no? In the upper reaches of the isle? Yes, yes your dress is very familiar."
W'reina Yue "I am sorry, if we have met before I do not recall... I am not very good at recalling faces however..."
Jancis Milburga "Yes, the tour. I was sure to recognize you! I did come upon the trip to see the ruins and the springs."
W'reina Yue "Oh! Yes I was there," she laughs nervously, embarrassed.
Jancis Milburga gives the lady a kind smile, "That is all right, is no fault to being humble. Nymeia will hear your words in your heart and be by your side as you need. For anyone you wish good fortune on."
Jancis Milburga "If anything, those who are, ah, shy sincerely mean what they think and go not boast. It is more selfless."
W'reina Yue smiles warmly, "thank you for your kind words."
Jancis Milburga nods at W'reina. "You are welcome. Are you on your way, then? Travel safely, yes?"
W'reina Yue nods, "you as well. Perhaps we shall meet again soon."
Jancis Milburga "I would like that, Lady. Very much so."
W'reina Yue smiles warmly at her, and bows respectfully, "fare well," she says before turning and walking away.

Jana Ridah quietly approaches the trio on the edge of the cliffside, unsure of how to say "hi" without startling them into the sea...
Jana Ridah gives a tiny sigh of relief. "...Lady Edda, good evening. And Sers Crofte and Shas." She punctuates her attempt to go from dour to "formal" with a curt nod.
Jana Ridah I am... Honestly, I'm not sure. These kinds of things always have a tendency to bring the worst thoughts to the surface... And I suspect I'm not the only one feeling that way.
Jana Ridah glances at Crofte, hoping she didn't speak too out of turn, but keeps her focus on Edda.
Jana Ridah I suppose... But if others are like me, it may not be possible to simply move past some of these feelings without being able to act first. I suspect... Others' cases are different from mine. But the feelings remain, all the same.
Jana Ridah glances to Crofte again.
Jana Ridah gives Edda a nod, managing a tiny smile. "I hope you are well, Lady."
Jana Ridah takes a deep breath before sitting a small distance from Crofte. "...I suspect I may not be first to say so, but if something weighs heavily upon your mind... I don't mind listening."

Eva Zelorius rests her left hand upon the stone. Eyes closing gently against the salty nighttime breeze, she spends a moment in prayer, or peacefully listening to the surrounding conversations. Or perhaps both.
Eva Zelorius opens her eyes once more, after several minutes. She appears almost surprised at something before her features smooth themselves and she makes her way back up towards the main paths.
Jancis Milburga stands up, bowing at Eva, "Once again your presence makes the rain stop."
Eva Zelorius "Thank you Miss Jancis, for putting together this rendezvous. We need more reasons to gather together like this."
Jancis Milburga "Agreed. It is well deserved. Thank you for all your time, everyone who has passed has looked better for it."
Eva Zelorius "Would you believe me if I told you that I rather enjoy the rain? I suppose that may put a different sort of spin on the thing, but... it is a lovely time, and I am happy to see so many faces smiling."
O'jirho Tia turns his head toward Eva.
Eva Zelorius gives a rather odd wry smile to Jancis.
Jancis Milburga widens her eyes, bowing her head as she smiles in a bit of a fluster. "Yes, yes it is. Pray travel safely Lady Eva. I hope our paths cross again soon."
Eva Zelorius "I suppose it's Llymlaen next moon? She is one whom is not quite so close to me, but.. I hope to be able to join the audience at least. I pray you have a good evening, and blessed dreams. Thank you for all of your efforts!"
Jancis Milburga "Are very welcome. Hopefully you can partake. Until then."
Eva Zelorius smiles warmly at Jancis, bowing her head politely once more before departing towards Limsa Lominsa.
O'jirho Tia looks a bit confused. He raises his ears and listens but finds nothing out of place.
Jancis Milburga turns and sits back down, "Apologize for the interruption, Lord. Very nice for her to spend time here for everyone."
â™ â™ â™
Edda Eglantine "Hello Leanne."
Leanne Delphium nods, finally looking back to Edda. "Well, that was the objective of it! I will linger on it longer when you learn how to hug."
Leanne Delphium winks impishly before laughing.
Leanne Delphium "I will be waiting for that hug, Edda!"
Jancis Milburga looks up at Edda. "A hug?"
Leanne Delphium yells with a giggle.
Edda Eglantine blushes. "Ah, yes... She was teaching me how to, since I am so horrible at it. I do not mean to interrupt, but I will be leaving now."
Jancis Milburga "All right. Travel safely yes? Call if you have any need, we are all a word away."
Edda Eglantine "I will be sure to. Also..."
Edda Eglantine leans down to whisper to Jancis.
Jancis Milburga looks off at nothing, listening carefully.
Edda Eglantine pulls back up, and smiles softly.
Jancis Milburga looks back up at Edda, her eyes wide and concerned. She nods slowly.
Edda Eglantine "Thank you, Jancis. Take care then."
Jancis Milburga nods, "Welcome. You as well. Shall see you soon."
Jancis Milburga looks at Cici with wide eyes as she walks off.
Shas Tarry grins and tilts up Leanne's hat slightly as she passes by.
â™ â™ â™
Jancis Milburga "Lady Ciel is it a joy to have you. Thank you very much. I am in a very lucky place to bring together joy and talent and then watch it bloom before my eyes. Did you both get a chance to speak with Lady Eva? Or other good fortune? You are both kind to keep me company."
Ciel Sauveterre shakes her head softly, "Fate is something to be discovered, not foreseen. Kind of ruins the surprise."
Ciel Sauveterre "Oschon keep your path, Lady Jancis. Let us look forward to the next one."
Jancis Milburga "You ever have good words for it. Travel safely, Lady Ciel."

O'jirho Tia uses his cane to find the edge of the cliff so he doesn't step off and makes his way down.
O'jirho Tia raises his ears and sniffs the air. He pauses. Are those... cookies?
O'jirho Tia stands rather awkwardly near the stone, listening for if Eva is talking to anyone.
O'jirho Tia raises an ear and looks rather... perplexed at W'reina's little outburst.
O'jirho Tia sighs and finally decides to lower his ears, blocking out most sound around him. Not the most guardly thing to do, probably.
O'jirho Tia impatiently shifts on his feet.
O'jirho Tia waits for a few more seconds before clearing his throat.
O'jirho Tia stretches.
O'jirho Tia flicks an ear at the approaching footsteps.
O'jirho Tia yawns.
O'jirho Tia waits for a few seconds before turning towards Jancis. "So why do you need guards for these? They seem pretty tame."
Jancis Milburga "They are, truly. I think the present of guards makes it so. It started out as people wishing to volunteer and having not the skill of voice but in blade."
Jancis Milburga smiles lightly, lifting an awkward shoulder to O'jirho, "Preserve peace by practicing war, I suppose."
O'jirho Tia Hm, that makes sense. Something about a preemptive blow preventing further harm or some such.
O'jirho Tia shrugs.
Jancis Milburga nods, "Verily. So many here are travelers and adventurers alike it is hard to relax. Having others at the ready maybe does that. It does for me. Thank you again for coming. I hear Lady Arrelaine left it to sign up, yes?"
O'jirho Tia Yeah. Figured it'd be good experience.
Jancis Milburga sounds curious, "Has it been?"
O'jirho Tia Depends on what you mean by "it."
Jancis Milburga sounds awkward, answering O'jirho, "Ah, it as in the experience. Are you happy you came?"
O'jirho Tia looks out towards the sea. "Yeah, I am, actually. Didn't get any action, but the stories were nice."
Jancis Milburga "Oh, you are looking for a way to steel yourself, then? Put your skills to use?"
O'jirho Tia Yeah. Guess I shouldn't have expected too much from this event, huh?
Jancis Milburga looks apologetic, "Alas, no. It is one of the few times I am actually at peace and not fighting it seems like." She laughs awkwardly, lifting her robe up to show bandages briefly before shielding them from the rain. "Your eagerness will pay off, Lord. Oh, ah, forgive me. I am Jancis. Jancis Milburga."
O'jirho Tia looks back towards Jancis as she speaks but doesn't look at the bandages she shows him--it's like he doesn't even see them. "O'jirho Tia."
Jancis Milburga "Lord O'jirho, then. Surely Sir Darklyn has other plans for you? Are new to the Harbingers?"
O'jirho Tia Sort of. I've only been on a couple of outings so far.
O'jirho Tia Or at least Martial-related ones.
Jancis Milburga "Martial? You did other work before? Strategy?"
O'jirho Tia Nah, just everything else I've done has been... well, tavern nights, mostly.
Jancis Milburga laughs lightly, repeating 'tavern nights', "That is quite a job. I can see why you would want to be out fighting. It is less hectic."
O'jirho Tia chuckles.
O'jirho Tia Nah, it's fine. You can just call me O'jirho, by the way.
Jancis Milburga "As you like, O'jirho. So what is your role upon tavern night? Have not caused trouble I hope. Every time I hear someone singing on stage awkwardly I feel that Val forced them to as some kind of penance."
O'jirho Tia chuckles at Jancis's words.
Jancis Milburga smiles, "Thank you. Oh O'jirho, Did you get one?" She looks over to the miqo'te across from her, offering it.
O'jirho Tia Yeah, I got one.
Jancis Milburga "Is a long way to travel. I cannot thank you enough for staying as long as you have. Beds are a long way away."
O'jirho Tia shrugs. "Well, maybe I'm hoping something will happen," he says with a smirk.
Jancis Milburga Hm, Thaliak forbid a kraken emerges right now. Are welcome to stay at Coralhaus if you wish. Alas, I must needs walk further back to the Sanctum and finish my task here."
O'jirho Tia says, "Hmm, a kraken, huh? That'd be a challenge." He shakes his head. "I'm probably just gonna stay at the inn in Limsa. Or teleport back." He says that last part in a grumpy mumble.
Jancis Milburga adjusts her staff, looking over. "What do you carry there with you?" She asks curiously.
O'jirho Tia Pretty much what I have on me now. Sorta had to hurry here--didn't expect I'd stay so late."
Jancis Milburga "Well if you wish to stay at the Mizzenmast I would gladly help cover the cost." Her voice hints with concern, "If teleporting is a poor option.."
O'jirho Tia No, I've got the gil... I think. Besides, it isn't that teleporting is a -poor- option. Just hate it.
Jancis Milburga nods in understanding.
Jancis Milburga "Then I will not take up more of your time even though I have enjoyed your company. Mayhaps another time when we meet it will be on terms you wish for? I am quite useful in the field. Was support branch, for my part, moons ago."
O'jirho Tia That so? Explains why you know about the branches, then. Well, if you ever need a bodyguard or something, you know where to find me.
O'jirho Tia stands and stretches.
Jancis Milburga nods.
Jancis Milburga "I do. Thank you."
O'jirho Tia Safe travels. Both of you.
Jancis Milburga gives the a smile as she bows. "You as well."
O'jirho Tia nods with an "Mm" and starts to walk off. Once he's up the hill, he whistles for his chocobo.
