A'randr Tia: Shh-- shh.
A'rho Tia smooshes his brother's face with his warm hands, ears perked attentively at Jancis's announcements.
A'rho Tia: Is anyone actually safe anywhere in Coerthas?
A'randr Tia: Underground, maybe. -- Wait. No. The answer is no.
A'randr Tia: ...
A'randr Tia turns away from Rho, clearing his throat as he digs in his pack for a tarp. He came prepared! He spreads it out over the ground beneath them. No wet tails today.
A'rho Tia sits beside his brother, sharing his massive coat. The inside pockets are full of what appears to be aether shards- thankfully not of the over-aspected variety.
A'rho Tia grins up at Jan. "Ran brought a blanket~"
A'randr Tia motions toward the tarp they are sitting on.
Jancis Milburga beams down at the two warmly, "He is very prepared. So happy to see you both."
A'rho Tia beams brightly. He nods fervently. "He thinks of everything."
A'randr Tia stoops down to pick up a piece of paper and begins scribbling with renewed vigor, shielding the writing with his hand to keep it secret.
A'randr Tia turns the paper over and continues writing on the back of it. He bites his tongue in concentration.
A'randr Tia grabs a second piece of paper. This is gonna be a long letter. Sun Seekers, amirite?
A'rho Tia grabs a few leaflets, filling out a long list of names- both friends and family. His expression saddens a little when he comes to one particular name, but still writes his prayers for her nonetheless. "Is Menphina going to care if she sees these?"
A'randr Tia: Uncertain. But it feels a weight has been lifted, writing it out. I would hope the feelings go through to her.
A'randr Tia is on to his third piece of paper.
A'rho Tia: Hopefully. I just don't know. I think the gods are slacking.
A'randr Tia: You are just mad because there was no buffet.
A'rho Tia: I was deceived!
A'randr Tia folds his manifesto up and tucks it under the rock, hiding it under smaller pieces of rubble.
A'rho Tia clutches the novel of names and prayers to his chest. He has a lot of friends and family. "I just want to make sure she isn't going to slack on this! It's important!"
A'randr Tia: Answered or not, is it not cathartic to simply write it all out?
A'rho Tia looks down at the pages. "....Yeah."
A'rho Tia tucks them under a rock. "I mean. It can't hurt."
A'randr Tia: Worst case, the paper disintegrates in the snow and makes it hard to scrape off the rock when it dries.
A'rho Tia: Does anyone scrape these rocks?
A'rho Tia: I could see some grouchy Ishgardian marching up here every day to clean up prayers and maybe sneak a peek.
A'randr Tia chuckles. "That sounds like an ideal occupation."
A'rho Tia: Get to know all the juicy gossip about people you barely know? I should consider a career change.
A'randr Tia pauses for a moment and digs his papers back out, tucking them away in his jacket pocket for safe keeping. "On second thought..."
A'rho Tia: Oh! Anything good in there?
A'randr Tia sing-songs in a rather dull tone. "For me to know."
A'rho Tia: Oh phooey! Is it about Ra?
A'randr Tia: No.
A'rho Tia: I won't tell.

Y'uraq Tia drops his note at the foot of the rocks, closing his eyes in brief prayer.
Y'mheena Pahsj shivered a little and glanced skyward, looking thoughtful.
Y'uraq Tia: Quite a spectacle, no?
Y'mheena Pahsj: "Fitting for the Lady of love and grace."
Y'mheena Pahsj lowered her gaze to let those lavender eyes light on the Tia. Her cheeks and nose were awfully rosy!
Y'uraq Tia: I apologize, how rude of me. I couldn't help notice you were with Lynn'wo. Like him, I'm also a member of the 81st.
Y'uraq Tia: My name's Y'uraq.
Y'mheena Pahsj blinked, perking her ears. "You are of my tribe, then." She paused, then replied with a small smile. "I am Y'mheena Pahsj."
Y'uraq Tia: Oh?! It's a pleasure to meet you Y'mhenna! Not every day I run into a fellow Y tribe.
Y'uraq Tia: Although...
Y'uraq Tia: I'm afraid I don't know many other Y seekers, I've been more or less separated from my tribe.
Y'mheena Pahsj studied the other seeker carefully, pursing her lips. "Understandable. I've gone on my own as well."
Y'uraq Tia: I was searching for other Y tribe seekers not long ago, but I was convinced to give up on my search, but if you have time. I'd have a couple of questions for you.
Y'mheena Pahsj raised her eyebrows. "I... ah... certainly."
Lynn'wo Vahnal: "Oh? I see you've met Y'uraq."
Y'mheena Pahsj nods to Lynn'wo Vahnal.
Y'uraq Tia: Well, my memories of my tribe, my childhood home, I can't say I remember all of it. But I'm curious to know about your tribe, if I may ask, do you remember where you lived with them?
Y'mheena Pahsj nodded, pinning her ears back. "I remember well the oases we would travel between in Thanalan." She replied softly, her voice a high, almost ethereal pitch.
Y'uraq Tia: Hmm... Thanalan.
Y'mheena Pahsj gazes upon Y'uraq Tia in deep reflection.
Y'uraq Tia: I remember combing everywhere I could think of there, nothing but the U tribe down south...
Y'mheena Pahsj: "Yes. Thanalan. I traveled with my family mostly in the north and west of it. Things got... scary."
Lynn'wo Vahnal: "Aren't your ears cold, my desert sun〜? Perhaps we could move this conversation somewhere more warm."
Y'uraq Tia sighs. I'll have to search a little harder. Any idea where they might be no- Actually that might not be a bad idea, Lynn'wo.
Y'uraq Tia: But any idea where they could be found nowadays?
Y'mheena Pahsj flushed faintly at Lynn'wo spoke affectionately to her. She nodded, casting her gaze to her booted toes.
Y'mheena Pahsj: "No. I left them before the Nuhn could make me part of the crowd he chose from."
Y'uraq Tia sighs. "I see..." I apologize, I'm not even sure I agree with Sun Seeker tribal laws... but I didn't write them.
Y'uraq Tia: Far from me to challenge them, as far as I can recall I've always been a Tia.
Y'uraq Tia: Well, I suppose there's no sense in asking any further question... I'll look around Northern Thanalan, thank you for the tip.
Y'mheena Pahsj remained quiet, shivering slightly. She washed away the somber look in her eyes with a polite smile. "Of course."
Lynn'wo Vahnal: "...just as a warning, I cannot enter any Ishgardian settlements."
Y'uraq Tia turns to Lynn'wo. "I'll let you guys get back to your time." He smiles to Y'mheena before bowing before the two before him.
Y'uraq Tia: 'til another time, you two.
Lynn'wo Vahnal: "My kind... well, we aren't entirely welcome there."
Y'uraq Tia: Thank you for hosting this Pilgrimage, m'lady... It was definitely a very moving one.
Y'mheena Pahsj nodded, her gaze having followed the other Y tribe seeker as he walked away. She was distracted. "Then we can go wherever you are comfortable, my moon."
Lynn'wo Vahnal: "Did you wish to speak with him further? I can arrange that."
Y'uraq Tia: I should be taking my leave now though, again. I thank you for this fitting pilgrimage to the lover.
Y'uraq Tia: Until another time.
Jancis Milburga: "You are very welcome. Pray travel safely."
Y'mheena Pahsj: "N-no. I don't need more reminders of the tribe I left for good reason."
Lynn'wo Vahnal: "I understand. Ready to leave?"
Y'mheena Pahsj nods to Lynn'wo Vahnal.
Lynn'wo Vahnal whistled for Snowfeather. The large bird trotted up to the two, lowering itself to allow them to step on.

Kanaria Galanodel chuckled softly and shook her head. "One might think it's of the snow being way out here in the cold, but no she is the goddess of love."
Kakamani Dadamani: "Coulda fooled me."
Kanaria Galanodel: "Aye me too, it seems rather odd that it would be out here, but before the calamity Coerthas used to have a much warmer climate.
Kakamani Dadamani shrugged " Really now? Learn somethin' new everyday it seems." He looked around at the stacked rocks all around them " Rather cold to have a little ceremony for such don't ye think?"
Kanaria Galanodel chuckled softly again. "I would have to agree with you, I'd rather be somewhere warmer."
Caen Jabari 's eyes had totally glossed over until he heard someone laugh.
Kakamani Dadamani nods " Aye, rather be back in Limsa on a pier or somethin'. Not made for this type of weather I tell ye."
Kanaria Galanodel: "Speaking of which, I need to head out before my blood freezes." She spoke jokingly, but she was still freezing out here even with her coat and hood on. "It was a pleasure talking to you."
Kanaria Galanodel bows courteously to Kakamani Dadamani.
Kakamani Dadamani bows his head " Safe trip back, stranger."
Kanaria Galanodel: "You as well, stay warm."

Jonathan Grayve hurls something at Vaughn Antain.
Ciel Wulfe: "Jonathan!"
Vaughn Antain shudders as he's hit with snow in the face.
Vaughn Antain glares at Jonathan.
Jonathan Grayve: " It was all in jest..."
Vaughn Antain looks to the main stone. "Ah...excuse me."
Ciel Wulfe: "Thank you, Ser Vaughn."
Vaughn Antain takes a piece of paper and the charcoal and writes. When finished, he folds it and sticks it in the cracks.
Ciel Wulfe: ((Vaughn just cursed us.))
Ojune Wajune: ((Lul a curse for a snowball))
Tausenadel Geispyrsyn: Jancis, I'm goin' to be headin' out, lass. Thank ye 'gain for settin' this up. Snow's comin', the keep'll be locked down a'fore long.
Jancis Milburga: "Keep? You are staying up here Tausen?"
Tausenadel Geispyrsyn shrugs, smiling softly. "Aye, jus' for a spell. Got a meetin' tomorrow that I can't miss."
Jancis Milburga nods at Tausen, "Okay. Travel safely. Was good to see you. Shall try to write you more often."
Jancis Milburga manages a warm smile, "Be very safe, Tausen. You are missed."
Tausenadel Geispyrsyn: I'll be home soon, lass. But thank ye. Always good to see ye.
Chachanji Gegenji: Ah, ya leavin', Mr. Tau? Ya take care'a yerself, akay?
Virara Wakuwa: "Good bye."
Leanne Delphium: "See you, Mr. Tau. Remember, when I call you, I want to see you there!"
Tausenadel Geispyrsyn: Ye got it, lass.
Leanne Delphium grins and thumbs up energically!
Tausenadel Geispyrsyn turns and tromps off into the snow. And he was never seen again. OH GOD I'M JOKING.
Jancis Milburga NOT FUNNY!!))
Alexander Gomez: ((hehe X3 ))
Leanne Delphium smiles sheepshly. "Aah! Sort of? Nothing special. It's cause.." she clears her throat. "Remember when I brought everyone to one of my relaxing spots...?"
Jancis Milburga nods at Leanne "Yes, the windminds." she replies fondly.
Chachanji Gegenji: (( Windminds! ))
Jancis Milburga: Oops, lalalala))
Chachanji Gegenji: (( Windminds are SUCH airheads. |< ))
Jancis Milburga stop it you're making me tear up Chachan))
Jancis Milburga looks at Carina, "Yes, not, ah, in the physical sense but you do seem to be providing that for Master Ilwe'ran. Did he not bring a hat? Or lost it?"
Ilwe'ran Hlaiwa tilts his head "Why would I wear a hat..?"
Leanne Delphium: "...Because it's nice!!"
Leanne Delphium yells to Il. Such question!!!
Ilwe'ran Hlaiwa looks at Leanne Delphium in shock!
Leanne Delphium huffs petulantly, then snickers.
Ilwe'ran Hlaiwa eyes at the hat lady, moving a bit closer to Carina
