The pair would possible be exiled or keep their affair a secret. I'm new and just sort of working through the things in my brain in regards to lore.From http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Miqo%27te/Naming:
The parents and child may be also be shunned by both tribes, depending on their stance on inter-tribal breeding.
It should be noted that the game's character creator is not expected to allow for mixed tribes at launch.
So members who breed outside of their tribe may be cast out, depending on their tribe's personal feelings about inter-tribal breeding.
It should be noted that there doesn't seem to be an official source for that quote or for information about inter-tribal breeding, and that it is all speculation. Here is the source for that wiki page:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...onventions
It doesn't include information about conventions for mixed tribes.
So basically, unless there's another official source somewhere, you ought to treat any creative liberties regarding what tribes do about mixed tribe Miqo'te as a treatment that only occurs within a certain circle of your clan or family structure, so it doesn't conflict with similar backgrounds that other people may think up. Just seems like good sense.
@Ryanti, since it seems like your character is half Hyur and half Miqo'te, do you happen to know where the official lore is regarding cross-breeding between races?
As for the breeding between species, this thread about the cross breeding among'st races does state that the species are able to mate and I think breed but the children of such parings have not really been shown much in lore yet.
