Reticent
"So how are you adjusting to Urianger being your beau?" A'quexta asked over tea, as though she had not been on the First with the rest of the Scions and watched Rowan and Urianger's initiate their courtship.
"You've... seen," Rowan dodged.
"Aye, I'm sure you've caught them in snogging in the library late at night." Khaliun took a sip of her tea.
"Hey!"
"Well, that's what I'm curious about!" A'quexta's purple eyes sparkled. "The man was reticent with physical contact before, and now there's nary a chance he'd miss to hold your hand or grab you by the waist or -"
"Quex, please. As if Thorsthal doesn't do those same things to you," Rowan said.
"Aye, but this is new," Khaliun interjected. "Master Goggles and Cowl suddenly shows up in a backless chiton and is holding you like his life depended on it. Which it did on several occasions... Anyroad, it must be different for you."
Rowan sighed. "Aye, it is. I like the attention, if you're at all worried about that."
Her two friends continued to look at her expectantly. Rowan felt a blush start to rise up to her cheeks.
"We've just started courting!"

"I just can't believe Black Cat got beaten, Gio. And by a couple of chumps without feral souls!"
Tumblr media
"I'm sure she'll get 'em next time, Bix."
Tumblr media
"Hey, Ro, is it just me or do those two seem familiar?"
"Huh..."
Tumblr media
"They do kind of remind me of Thorsthal and Quex..."
The TL;DR of Thorsthal and A'quexta is that they're part of Rowan and Khaliun's light party for most of MSQ as Tank and Healer respectively. They "retired" on the Island Sanctuary and didn't get an invite to Tural.
I didn't like the idea of a Rowan or Khaliun shard in Solution Nine, but the idea of a Thorsthal shard being there appealed to me when I saw a Highlander Elf Ear mod. Since his Ancient was Minthe's brother, I thought it would be fun if he resembled Rowan here. And since various shards of A'quexta's Ancient end up with him, there's a version of her here too.
Plagioclase is the equivalent of an electrician in Solution Nine. He knows his way around Electrope and makes sure the displays all work.
Bixbite is a huge Black Cat fan and a cosplayer. Gio only takes her to the Arcadion if she promises not to make any bets. This has saved the couple a lot of money.
(Also please pretend that they are wearing regulators. I got all caught up in the new blorbo ecstasy that I forgor.)

hc + 🤕 for a pain-themed headcanon for Rowan
Rowan tries to hide her pain, physical and emotional. Her healer in her adventuring party, A'quexta, is shrewd about that sort of thing and heals her mostly with AoE spells so Rowan doesn't feel like she's being fussed over.
Urianger, a known fusser, has eventually learned the very subtle tells that Rowan has. Mostly she becomes more withdrawn and silent. Which a lot of people will miss because they don't know the baseline quietness Rowan has. He often has to play the "It would make me feel better if you'd let me" card on her. It works well.
Thanks for the ask!

W  :   WEDDING.would your muse get married? why / why not?
So Rowan's view on marriage is that it's a thing people do when they are declaring they are going to have kids. She's seen people just spend their lives together and it's all good to her.  She would've been more or less content to live with Urianger without marrying him, but he asked. And she said yes because she feels as though any resulting children would have a good father :).
Bonus: A'quexta WAS on camp "just live with partner" until Rowan got engaged and they started getting stuff for the wedding. Now she's not so subtly telling Thorsthal he should propose XD
Thanks for the ask!

🍾          »        strive  to  be  someone  of  importance    or    more  comfortable  giving  than  receiving    or    lack  self  confidence    ?
-For all of them <3
Oh Thorstal is definitely "strive to be someone of importance". His arc (if I ever actually get around to writing it) is learning how exactly to be important - not viewed as important by the whole world, but important to those around him.
Khaliun is also striving to be someone of importance. The Azim Steppe arc is her stepping up to her potential as a leader, whereas she was mostly a loner with a few deep friendships.
A'quexta is the second one. She likes receiving gifts, and Thorsthal indulges that. There's a slight self-centeredness that she should try to be conquering!
Rowan is definitely lacking self confidence. It has to be proved time and time again. By the end of ARR she understands that she's a great fighter. But being someone's friend and romantic interest? That takes further convincing.
Thanks for the ask!

A   :   AFFECTION.how does your muse show affection?
-for the Light Party <3
Khaliun is someone who will be a little rougher with you if she likes you. She's the type to clap your shoulder or ruffle your hair. It's more of a "oh, you won't leave me" type situation. Politeness just rubs her a little raw and she's glad for the times she can be rude.
Thorsthal does a lot of big acts and spends a lot of money on A'quexta. He's just in awe of her and the change she wrought in him. So he's trying really hard to show that in his own way. Being a son of Ul'dah merchants will do that to you.
A'quexta takes all of Thorsthal's big gestures with grace. Honestly she does love the attention. She's the type to criticize people. Gently, of course. But she's trying to get people to be better. Luckily for her, she found the most appreciative subject for that type of thing in the world with Thorsthal.
Thanks for the ask!

For Rowan and Urianger: What is an inside joke they have?
For Thorsthal and Quex: How did they get together?
For Rowan and Urianger: What is an inside joke they have?
"I merely jest" is something they say when they tease the other for what ever reason. Urianger uses it to try and get out of trouble when Rowan gets upset, and Rowan uses it to emphasize that she's being sarcastic.
For Thorsthal and Quex: How did they get together?
So Thorsthal and Quex met when she ran to him being chased by bandits. They were pretty much instantly attracted to each other and they are the type of people who can actually vocalize stuff like that. So the only thing that stopped them from becoming a couple was that Thorsthal had to file some paperwork to officially leave the Brass Blades so he could go adventuring with A'quexta.
Thanks for the asks!

♡♡♡♡ - for all four of them!
Rowan - If you notice a need of hers and deal with it without making a fuss about it? Oh lawd she'll find herself indebted to you.
A'quexta - If you follow her advice? Holy smokes does this woman like to see that she was listened to.
Thorsthal - If you praise him for something he feels proud of? He'll follow you like a puppy.
Khaliun - If you respond to one of her jabs with a smile? You may not win her romantically, but you will be her friend!
Thanks for the ask!

💥🌙🪤
💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?
Well, Khaliun is aromantic, so she doesn't deal with other's expression of romance to her very well. Well, she's like, "Gee, thanks, but no thanks." Then they get all pouty about it and she wishes they could've just stayed where they were before. Most of the time Khaliun keeps busy enough to not think about it, but it will eat at her on sleepless nights.
🌙 MOON - what is your oc’s greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?
Thorsthal would really love to have children with A'quexta. He knows that the chance for them to have children naturally is slim to none (his being born was unlikely due to being a child of a Roegadyn woman and a Midlander Hyur) but he dreams of black haired miqo'te children accompanying him and Quex on their journeys. He may have spent some gil on a potion or two to, uh, enhance his potency. But after a fight with A'quexta he figures they'd adopt when the time is right.
🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for?
It's a good think A'quexta has a good head on her shoulders and can avoid getting kidnapped, because Thorsthal would fall ass over tea kettle into danger if she got captured. Just blindly stumble in. I mean, he's a pretty hardy guy but goodness XD.
Thanks for the asks!

47. how do they make up after a fight?
Both Rowan and Urianger are fairly able to admit they've done wrong so there has yet to be a disagreement that lasts longer than a day. That and I think they're probably still in a honeymoon state where they could make out to make up most disagreements.
Thorsthal and A'quexta on the other hand... They don't fight an unhealthy amount, but they definitely have opposing views more than Rowan and Urianger. Quex is usually right about everything, so Thor will have to do some hoop jumping to get back into her good graces. Gift giving, task completion, recruiting friends to tell her he's sorry... Sometimes Rowan and Khaliun will side with Thor and scold Quex into apologizing. Honestly a lot of their arguments need a mediator for them to relay intention. Khaliun started picking up that duty when they all got picked up into the First.
Thanks for the ask!

❤️ RED HEART - their love language(s)?
The whole of the Light Party is Acts of Service to be honest, which is probably why they've stuck together. Khaliun is very action oriented in every aspect of her life, so interpersonal affection is no different. Thorsthal and A'quexta met by defeating bandits together, and their relationship is a lot of doing little things for each other.
Thanks for the ask!

10. What energizes and drains them most?
14. What do they care deeply about? What kind of loyalties, commitments, moral codes, life philosophies, passions, callings, or spirituality and faith do they have? How do these tend to be expressed?
For anyone in the Light Party or all of them ;)
10. What energizes and drains them most?
For Rowan she is always drained by most social interactions. Well, the kinds where she has to act neurotypical. Energizing occurs when she can just read/observe/think/fidget for a bit.
Khaliun gets drained when she has to sit still. She's a woman of action, and if a meeting doesn't resolve in a plan of what they're doing, she finds that to be the biggest waste of her time and she'll get grouchy. But once the plan is set into motion, she perks right up.
14. What do they care deeply about?
Thorsthal is the Paladin of the group. Like, he gets inducted to the Sultansworn to be their free agent right around the time of the Banquet. Being a shield to the weak is more or less his goal in life. At first he sought glory and fame, but afer meeting A'qeuxta he sees he can help those in need and that's a far greater reward than a song or two written about him.
A'quexta is a conjurer and often finds herself caring for what ever ecological area she finds herself in. Purifying water, removing invasivie species of plants and animals, stuff like that. Basically, an Eorzean conservationalist.
Thanks for the asks!
