Oh the little change in his expression

Contest

The second comm for Agi's in-game husband Dandelo in which Dandelo, Agi, Wuk Lamat, and the crew go through the Rite of Succession. SFW.

As always, thank you to Dandelo for trusting me with your blorbo. <3

Dandelo watched his friend with great interest.

Scrunching her nose.

Eyes narrowed.

Shaking her head.

Muttering White Mage stuff.

He approached the hyur and slapped her on the back. “What’re you thinking?”

“By all available evidence, there’s no reason why the plant and animal life seem lethargic. It’s something deeper but what?” Her previously serious mien shifted into a grin. “The answer is around here somewhere. Let’s find it!”

Dandelo raised an eyebrow. “By ‘let’s’ you mean you? This isn’t my area of expertise.”

She nodded enthusiastically. “Oh yes, of course! I’ll work with the others on this, and you can…” Agnes rubbed her hands together and is grinning madly. Shit, what is she thinking?! “Talk to the locals. It’s important to learn more about the Hanu and their lives here…and also it gives you time to think of lines for chatting up the Third Promise.”

AGI, YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT AND WINK!!!!

With a wave, she turned and left the hrothgar flushed.

“Damn you, Agi.” He muttered before glancing around Ok’hanu and silently choosing a Hanu carrying a hammer.

“Are you shitting me right now?” Dandelo groaned, running a hand over his face. “Catch an alpaca? That’s the feat?”

Agnes’s eyes narrowed. “These things are never as they seem. Catch an alpaca, yes…but what’s the catch?”

The catch, as we discovered, was having to trade to get a bottle of booze to get Wuk Lamat a saddle to catch a wild alpaca.

Since Agi did most of the stuff with the festival, I suppose I should take the lead on this one.

Remember Wuk Lamat.

She needs my…our…help.

Focus on that.

Don’t focus on the capitalist little shits.

***

Rage.

Unrelenting rage.

“Dandelo.” Agnes’s voice called to him. “We—”

The hrothgar clenched his fists. “Need to get her back.”

Her brown eyes narrowed. “Yes, and we will. However, we need to be cautious. Thancred—”

RAGE.

“THANCRED IS FULL OF SHIT! HE’S OUR EN—”

Dandelo did not expect his friend to stare daggers at him, arms crossed over her chest. Uh oh. Miss Agi is mad. “He is not our enemy. If anyone can track where they might have taken her, it’s him, so…” She is MAD. “Get your head out of your ass and let him do his thing.”

Rage…

Okay, maybe not full-on fire-and-brimstone rage anymore.

His shoulders slumped. “I-I can’t lose her.”

Because I’m in love with her.

His friend’s arms quickly wrapped around him, pulling him into a tight hug. “We won’t let that happen. Trust in Thancred. Trust in us.” She gave him a squeeze before releasing him, grinning. “And then we can punch whoever took her in the dick.”

He hummed. “Or perhaps a little dismemberment. As a treat.”

She laughed heartily. “You said it, not me!”

Suddenly their linkpearls rang.

Thancred.

Let’s fucking go.

***

Adorable.

Dandelo hummed to himself as Agnes and Krile prepared the xibruq pibil. Though he was a master culinarian, he ultimately and correctly deferred to Agnes and Krile because damnit, she’s great and deserves all the good things. I hope we can find answers for her.

“So, Agi’s a good cook huh?” Wuk Lamat whispered to Dandelo. “Alisaie said she often prepared meals for the Scions at their old headquarters. Is that true?”

Agi and Higiri making breakfast on snowy winter mornings.

Group dinners.

Man.

Those were good times in the Rising Stones.

He nodded. “She is! Estinien is a lucky bastard.”

How the fuck did Estinien “This Hair Tie Cost 9500 Gil” Varlineau manage to snag Agi? Oh wait, there was snagging from him and from her. “Dandelo, oh gods have you seen Estinien without his helm? He’s so handsome.” And she had those godsdamned heart eyes.

Still has the heart eyes.

Wuk Lamat laughed. “He is indeed! He doesn’t seem like the most…erm, talkative person, but if Agi’s married to him, then he must be a good man.”

Closing his eyes briefly, he remembered how Estinien let him know he was there for him after…after all that. I love Agi, but he knows what it’s like to lose everything. He was a kid and lost it all and came out the other side. He opened his eyes and smiled. “He is.”

And his wife is a kickass culinarian.

“My dear friend, the Warrior of Light doesn’t lose…especially to those shitheads.”

Wise words, Agi!

***

“W-what…is that a Mamool Ja too?” Dandelo gasped. A woman of Mamook asked the Third Promise and her retinue to follow her out of city.

What in the turtle without a shell hell is this?!?!?!

Agnes’s eyes widened as she smacked his arm. “Don’t be a dick! That woman is clearly very upset and in need of someone to listen.” Her brown eyes narrowed. “Out of the earshot of the Autarch at the very least.”

Out of earshot of the weirdo with the cone of shame?

Yeah, it turned out we needed to go to the other side of sick fucking forest.

Just…

Goddamn.

What a forest.

***

“STACK!” Agnes yelled as the others crowded around her.

Ow.

Ow.

Ow.

Why is my future father-in-law hitting us so hard?

Ow.

Thankfully the hitting from Gulool Ja Ja’s shade ended shortly.

Give her the keystone, asshole, or there’s gonna be a problem.

Wait a second!

Who is that man?!?!?

That’s a damn handsome roe, if I do say so.

“Ketenramm, I presume?” Alphinaud asked, smiling at the older man.

What Dandelo saw next nearly made him laugh out loud.

“You good, Agi?”

The highlander nodded wordlessly, staring with her fucking mouth hanging open like a dead fish. “Oh…my…gods…IT’S YOU!!!!” She screamed and did her happy dance. Oh dear. Oh boy. Here we go. “I’m so sorry. I’m Agnes Currai Varlineau, and I…I grew up on stories about you! There’s not a child from Limsa who doesn’t know its greatest son. You inspired me to become an adventurer.” That was a hell of a high-pitched scream there, Agi. “IT’S REALLY YOU!!!!! CAN I GIVE YOU A HUG? IS THAT OKAY? OH MY GODS!!!!”

“Sure, sure. Come ‘ere.”

This is so fucking wholesome. A huge, devilishly handsome apparently famous guy hugging my buddy.

Awwwwwwwwwww.

***

“I want you to stay in Tuliyollal with me.” Wuk Lamat said to Dandelo. OH MY FUCKING GODS. YES, MA’AM. “I won’t force the issue, but you’re always welcome here.” YES. PERFECT.

After more goodbyes and promises to meet again in several weeks, Dandelo and Agnes were left standing in the Vollok Shoonsa. The highlander crossed her arms over her chest and gave him a knowing look. “Soooooo…does that mean you’re going to stay? For good?”

Do I want to stay? Yes.

Am I in love with Wuk Lamat? Also yes.

“Friends forever!”

Did I get friend zoned?!

He waved a dismissive hand. “Maybe. I need a change of scenery, and this might be it.”

Let’s be real---this is it.

“Uh huh. Well, you don’t have to figure it out now. After all, adventure awaits!” She wrinkled her nose and giggled. “And maybe we’ll run into my grumpy dragon.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Is that where he wandered off to?”

Agnes nodded. “Yes, that’s where he told he was headed. ‘Don’t worry, my angel. I won’t go too far.’ He’s a sweetie.”

Heart eyes again.

Dandelo rolled his eyes and gave her a playful smack on her back. “Come on, lover girl. Let’s go with Erenville to Xak Tural.”

And I can think about how…if…HOW…how I will tell Wuk Lamat how I feel…

[sebille]

What zenos feels for the wol is love but since he's not been shown love he doesn't know what it feels like and that's why he is the way he is and therefore even if he's done some awful despicable things he never had a chance to be good to begin with and therefore i think that he should have a chance at rede-[someone steals away my keyboard and unfortunately I'm not able to finish my post]

[sebille]

I really do think that the ff writers are extremely based for hammering home the fact that Zenos "rode the light of the stars to you" because he cares about the warrior of light. They're his reason for existing in Endwalker.

They're the ONLY person he's ever cared about. Of course he'd do anything to save their life. Of course he told them that in his eyes they're above despair and that they could win any fight. Of course he wished more than anything for them to go on and to live to see another day as they both lay dying - there's no light in his world if the warrior of light isn't in it.

"But then came the light. Blinding and pure and hot─so very hot. Enough to set my soul aflame.

I basked in the afterglow...until the void yawned once more. And then I knew the muck would never claim me again. There was naught for me ahead, so I drew the curtain on all that had come before."

[sebille]

"And hungry still for our reunion, I rode the light of the stars to you"

Oh okay so i'm just supposed to be normal about this huh

[sebille]

I wonder what Zenos would have been like, had he grown up under different circumstances? Like, is he just evil/endlessly selfish to the core and that's the way he is as a person and everything about him and his actions were just inevitably going to happen no matter what - or, if given a chance, could things have been different?

[sebille]

love this game love being sad it's my favourite hobby

[sebille]

"I understand that, following thy clash with Zenos, the teleportation device thou had discarded fell to thee from on high.

To return to thee in such a manner... I did confer with Wilfsunn and Bloewyda, yet they insist the device was possessed of no such capability. 'Twas a miracle befitting the nature of that place, where emotion becometh tangible reality. Whence, then, arose this timely wonder? Thine ardent wish...or another's fervent prayer?" Urianger.... are you implying what I think you're implying

[sebille]

[touches screen] I miss you

[sebille]

The more I think about it the more unfair it feels that Zenos dies at the end of this. I'm like.....7-10? Quests away from "endwalker" and there is so much we don't know. Why did he dream of the end of Amaurot? Emet-selch experimented on him - why was that never touched upon again once it had been mentioned? What did he do? Why? Zenos can teleport???? Switch bodies? What was all that even for? Zenos yae galvus youre making me insane and I'm tearing my hair out of my head

[sebille]

I love how everyone's like "HOW is SPHENE BACK??" like 1: babes, this is not the first time someone who's supposedly super duper extremely dead has come back. 2: it's not the first time someone would be walking around transformed to look like someone else 3: aren't y'all used to this by now

[sebille]

honestly huge shout out to square enix for just hiring non english native speakers to play the characters w accents instead of having an english speaker do it

[sebille]

I see so many memes about how the dungeons and trials in dt are difficult and idk if people are joking or not bc.... no? What are talking about???

[sebille]

"i'm going to make things better and less awkward " G'raha tia says and then goes on to deepthroat an ice cream

[sebille]

honey

[sebille]

now why would the quest text say that
