ᅠ

Elpis used to have a live theater that the seats would go sometimes but that was about it.

…
Is it similar to that .ᐣ

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

@MogasFinest / we can work with that 😂

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

🕊 / ellie and who !!!!!!

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

Meets it easily, grinning.

"You know I've got your back. Plus, I know what's in North Horn, that shit's haunted and I couldn't in good conscience encourage such 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 exploration."

[——𝙀𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙪𝙢 @ElysianRenegade]

"You're a real one, Ellie."

Extends arm for a fist bump.

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

/ shes 'so no need for me to kiss it better' obviously

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

She laughs, throwing her head back.

"I thought so. Don't worry, if I find anything good in there, I'll bring it back for you."

[——𝙀𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙪𝙢 @ElysianRenegade]

"...I think I'll leave that to you and your friends. Seems like you've got it handled."

✌🏻

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

"He had to be right about some of it."

Words that might have made someone else double-take or concerned, Ellie matches his shrug.

"Don't mention it .ᐟ Company always helps, and it was my pleasure. Any excuse to try and get you back into the Crescent."

[——𝙀𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙪𝙢 @ElysianRenegade]

"Eh. Gotta admit, Zenos had me right the whole time. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a thrill seeker."

He shrugs nonchalantly.

"But hey, appreciate the backup on this endeavor. Your company made things a whole lot more bearable."

[SUNFLOWER 🌻 @sunflowerchives]

Sunflowers with a little extra color.

@gunbreakmyheart that's okay, i'm patient .ᐟ and i know where you live .ᐟ

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

hey, can i borrow your gunblade a second–

[Thancred @gunbreakmyheart]

Far be it from me to ever joke of the final days.

Amaurot in Hell if I do...

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

@gunbreakmyheart that's alright .ᐟ have you ever been chased by a carbuncle .ᐣ

🕊 / shes still not properly set up but it looks like she exists and is doing things (s/o to promise for baiting me), but @ICARUSFL0WN ... for a less sweet warrior of light...

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

She eyes the blades, equally pensive.

"I mean, we're not normally in want for excitement or new heights to reach, but maybe they know something we don't .ᐟ"

[——𝙀𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙪𝙢 @ElysianRenegade]

"Maybe weapons like this react to our desires? If we never had something better to strive for, another mystery to figure out, we'd likely get rather bored, yeah?"

He shrugs, gaze introspective.

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

( he doesn't press and relief washes over her. and then he follows up and she feels an onze of self-consciousness, and more than that of melancholy. )

ㅤㅤif this is about my height again...

[𝑆𝑂𝑈𝐿𝑆𝐸𝐸𝑅 . @stareturned]

hm.

( a knock against his chin, thinking for a moment. no, they'd leave it alone for now. things would unravel in time. )

doesn't make yours any less magnificent. there's more to you than meets the eye.

Looooooooong sigh.

What is it that mortals do for fun?

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

"Such is the nature of his work, I suppose. Would make life too easy otherwise. Plus, a fly-by of Tural was rather fun. Aaaand they look incredible, thats true .ᐟ"

[——𝙀𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙪𝙢 @ElysianRenegade]

"Yeah, for now. Always seem to find something eventually that make our really awesome weapons seem obsolete, though."

He shrugs his shoulders.

"Least they look cool."

[𝙝𝙮𝙙𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣'𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙬𝙣. @HOPESLEG4CY]

i'm known to be quite the worrier.

( a pitiful attempt at saving herself, though her expression would throw her under the chocobo carriage. )

just that it must be something you're accustomed to. seeing souls.

( like her ability to read aether made her any less curious. )

[𝑆𝑂𝑈𝐿𝑆𝐸𝐸𝑅 . @stareturned]

don't worry yourself with emet-selch.

( not a dismissal, there's more amusement to his tone than anything else. there was something─ many things about elinor that intrigued him. his patience for his friend a large piece of the puzzle. familiarity. 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯. )

why not?
