8. Did they have pets as a child? Do they have pets as an adult? Do they like animals? (Any character!)

(Thanks for asking @ffxivaltaholic & @rhapsodies-of-vanadiel)

“I had no pets growing up. Mother insisted we had enough in our lives without adding a pet. Which was true and I did not argue it. I did have my training to join the Quiver at the time so I thought to actually follow my mother’s advice. For once.” She laughs an reaches down to scratch the head of the young wolf pup at her feet. “Now though? I have one pet. And two companions. So yes I like animals. I always have. I just did not have the maturity to have pets when I was younger. This one here is Tucker. He mostly stays at my house.”

She rolls her eyes as a small blue dragonet squawks before perching on her shoulder. “Lady here is not a pet though some people seem to try an consider her so. She is a companion an has a mind of her own. I’m pretty much just her babysitter.” Yelps softly as Lady nips the edge of a pointed ear. “My other companion is Nebula, my chocobo. I would not really call her a pet. She would object to being called a pet as much as as Lady does.”

“No pets. It was never allowed and I never had an interest really. Not that I have anything against pets. I think I just have never really found the one suited to my life. I spend a lot of time in Coerthas mostly. Not exactly a good place for a pet when you are on duty. Nor would I trust leaving a pet to the whims of my family in Ishgard. Maybe someday.”

“I had a fish in a tank once as a child. I wasn’t very good at remembering to feed it though. I think father kept an eye on it for me. At least until it passed. My life now though is kind of not suited to a pet. Neither are my goals. If I found a pet suited to my traveling an dangerous life then I would gladly take one. Hopefully they wouldn’t be too reliant on me remembering to feed it though.”

There are some new/interesting questions in here. Let’s give this one a try.

(Awww my poor Lance. He looks so sad from this camera angle. But he has good reason. Which I told @michisilver I planned to write about since we didn’t have a chance to RP it out with the fact I have company all weekend.)

Lance had been over the moon to go to that wedding as Miu’s date. Though being on display to her friends and free company had been a tad bit embarrassing. Though the mood had sobered up a bit once they had been alone. Well mostly alone even though one of her drunk friends slept on in the room next to where they had stood.

She had asked after his well being since it had been days since they had last met. He hadn’t wanted to worry her. Hadn’t wanted to admit he had an encounter with Savara. He had been in Camp Dragonhead at the time when Savara made yet another appearance. His wounds had been minor in comparison to those also injured in fending off the dragon. But he had not been able to lie to her. Not to Miu.

Unfortunately his work had kept her from seeing her again for a few days. Thankfully it had been an uneventful few days. No more injuries to report. Those that he had had were fine with a little healing help from Miu the last they were together. However…

He had not expected the wound that was dealt when he met with Miu last night. It was not physical but emotional. She had broken things off between them. His family had gotten between them. Not in a literal sense. But she had been worried about him. Worried about his future if they remained together. She had not also been ready. Seeing her ex-lover at the wedding had reminded her of painful times.

Lance’s fist hit the stone wall. The metal of his gauntlet protecting his hand from more then possibly bruising. He was disappointed and upset about this turn in his life. He heaved a sigh as he leaned against the wall, resting his forehead against the cold stone.

Miu wanted to remain his friend and steadfast ally. She still wanted to help him explore that dreaded place in his mad quest. Still cared about him. Just not in the way he had hoped. But he still had her in his life. They had only dated twice. He had hoped too soon. It was his own fault really. He knew better. But it still stung. Still hurt that his family was part of the reason for what happened last night.

As soon as he was released from duty for the day he went out into the cold frigid air of Coerthas. The air burned his lungs as he took a long walk. He needed to clear his head and his heart.

He would be fine. He knew he would be. He just needed a few days to process all that had happened. He would maintain a friendship with Miu. A ghost of a smile crossing his lips at the thought of her. He’d allow himself a few days to mourn what could have been. Then life would have to continue. He had a job to do. A life to live. A cousin to protect. An a High House to serve. Life would move on as it always did. He would not hide himself away forever. Just a few days. He just needed a few days.

Seashell: What’s a sound that soothes you? Stars: What’s one wish you have?

(Thanks for asking @kyrelldreams & @kibuto. Both of you asked for the seashell one lol. An since you popped an ask I’m doing something special for you, Kyrell. Going to include Karigan for you in honor of our RP. 😀 Though I still need to finish her background. Not happy with what I did put up on the profile the other night.)

“I find the sound of rain to be soothing. No voices, no movement. Just the sound of the rain falling upon a roof or the trees. Or even the sound of a waterfall. The waves crashing. So pretty much just the sound of water in general.” A soft smile as she closes her eyes, thinking of one of those things she had just answered with.

She finally opens her eyes an tilts her head as she thinks upon the second question. “There are a lot of things I could wish for. An thinking about… If I wished for them an they came true I might be a different person today because of it. So in a way…” A tapping of her fingers against her desk. “I guess I would have to wish for the happiness and safety of those I love right now. Because as much as my past has hurt an broken me before… I’m glad I’ve ended up where I am right now. I’m glad to be with the people I can call my family. Even if a certain member… Is not particularly my favorite right now.”

image

“A soothing sound…” He puts a crooked finger up to his lips in thought on the question. It takes him a few moments before finally looking up again. “Music. Soft gentle music. Whether it be from an instrument or someone singing. Is not the saying music soothes the savage beast?” He laughs richly before waving his had as if to dismiss his own attempt at a joke. “Not that I am some savage beast mind you. But it does soothe this warrior’s heart.”

“As for one wish… That is difficult at best. There are many things I would like to wish for. Especially now. I guess… The best wish I could make would be to wish Haillenarte to be restored. It would mean less pain and suffering for the children of Haillenarte. I have so much respect for them an I hate to see them suffer for the fall of the Vigils. I wish I could ease their burdens.”

image

“My favorite sound that I find soothing is the wind. Howling or gentle. Because sometimes those howling winds mean a storm. I love storms but I also love to just enjoy a gentle breeze blowing through the trees and grasses. So definitely wind.” She says with a firm nod as she grins like a child with a prize.

“As for one wish… That’s a secret!” She holds up a finger an wiggles it back an forth like scolding someone. She laughs lightly before shrugging. “Well okay maybe it is not much of a secret. I wish to be a respected mercenary. I want to make a name for myself an earn respect. It’s a simple wish.”

( ゚д゚): What amazes your muse? (in a good way) ((from @sunshineandlotus ))

(Thanks for asking @sunshineandlotus)

image

“In a good way… Praise for a job well done. Because I am not expecting it. I really don’t think I am that good. I try to do my best but I am still learning. I make mistakes all the time. Whether it be in handling a situation poorly or missing something entirely. So I often don’t feel I’ve done well enough to deserve that praise yet… It makes me happy anyways. It’s amazing to think someone thought I did good enough at something to deserve such praise.”

image

“Hmm. Amaze me in a good way… I would have to say seeing what the rest of Eorzea is like beyond the areas controlled by Ishgard. Seeing all these wonders I’ve been missing out on for so very long. There are so many beautiful places. An such a diversity of people.”

( ゚Д゚) : What does your muse do when surprised?

(Thanks for asking @sorceressofdurendaire)

image

“I think it would depend on the sort of surprised you are asking about. If it is good I’m bound to react better to it then if it is bad. I can sometimes be a bit jumpy and tense if surprised while stressed out. Most of the time I’m probably just going to be staring wide-eyed at whatever surprised me though.”

image

“I would not suggest surprising me. My first instinct is to defend myself. Years as a knight can do that to a person. Especially when dealing with dragons and heretics. I would hate to harm someone because they choose to surprise me. If someone does I just hope they do it a distance away from me so they are not harmed.”

For both Destiny and Lance question 22, and 23; opinion on romance? opinion on sex?

(Thanks for asking @michisilver)

image

“My opinion on romance? Well considering I am married… I am not looking for romance. There is no need. I do still enjoy a good romance novel though. Just because I am taken doesn’t mean I can’t watch or read others enjoying their romances. As for my opinion on…” She looks away, cheeks stained pink with blush. “On Sex… My husband and I came to an agreement on that long ago. He doesn’t want to know what I decide to do in our long absences of seeing each other. Sex is just that. Sex. It doesn’t have to have emotions attached to it.”

image

“Romance? Sex?! Are such questions really necessary?” Lance looks surprised and a bit embarrassed by the question. He sighs softly an scratches his cheek. “I enjoy romancing a partner. Doesn’t everyone want a bit of romance in their lives? As far as the other question…” He takes a deep breath an thinks a moment on how he wants to answer this. “I would not just sleep with anyone. I’m not that sort of man. I want a deeper connection with that person. I want it to be special.”
