X'cinna Ares sat upon the cold Brume floor. Her tail swishing back and forth as the children of the Brume gather about her. Miqo'te were relatively rare in Ishgard, and many children have not seen one up close, especially one as strange as X'cinna.Â
"And so? What do you mean you would like Starlight Blessings? Is not presents from the Saint of Nymeia?," a child inquired of the miqo'te. Cinna raised her hand and her a innocent smile crossed her face, "The Blessing is the greatest gift that one could received, kitten. It is everlasting, an experience that will grant you true blessings." Her tail puffed up with pride as she patted another child with her hand.Â
To think one such as her would be entertaining helpless kittens who do not know how yet to hold a spear, much less slain their first prey. However, the world of Outsiders is queer to her and she has learned to accept it.Â
More kittens (children) gather by her fire, attracted by the warmth or perhaps by the general crowd of youth and curious onlookers, eager to learn about Starlight outside of Ishgard, especially among the tribal miqo'te. X'cinna smiled honestly, and as questions piled up from the Brume inhabitants, gradually explained the wonders of 'blessings', as a means of warm and absolute joy. "What a wonderful tradition," she smiled joyfully as the night wore on.
