A mid-day Nap

[ffxivaltaholic]

This is Mint! Dia has raised her from shortly after she hatched.  Her mother, Thyme, was his first Chocobo.  Unfortunately along with such a long life, comes the understanding that not everything you love will be with you forever, and Dia has struggled with that. He and Thyme went on many adventures until she was retired and finally passed of old age.  After Mint was grown and trained, Dia retired her mother and the two continued on where he and Thyme left off. Mint is registered with Sharlayan as a Gleaner companion. Mint is playful by nature, and she has a habit of stealing his tools to get his attention, then dropping them in his lap.  She’s devious and sweet, and unless a mission is to dangerous, she’s almost always at his side out in the wilds of the world.  Her name, like her mother’s is an herb used in cooking, as Dia is both a Horticulturist/Botanist and very fond of cooking. Thank you for posting these for everyone to enjoy!

oh hey would you look at the time it looks like it's time for another wol question

tell me about your wol/oc's chocobo!

RP Hooks ––– –

SHARLAYAN: While much of the Viera's time is spent away, he does return to his Sharlayan home from time to time, whether it's to bring in a specimen or to simply visit with old friends, he is not to difficult to find there, particularly as his clothing tends to standout against the more conservative and neutral tones of his Sharlayan counterparts. As a significant contributor in his field of study to the vast library over his three decades of work, Dia is most likely found there, but also will peruse the market and visit Labyrinthos from time to time. Especially if any of his projects are flourishing.

THAVNAIR: Born and raised in Thavnair, Dia spent his entire youth there with his family. They are prominent silk makers and tailors, specializing in ornate and delicate garments. He's very familiar with the locals and after the panic of the End of Days subsided, Dia visits far more frequently. He's often found in the Radz-at-han market, out by Palaka's Stand, or in the silk factory pitching in to help his parents. A Thavnarian born, he has an identifiable accent and tends to wear garments that connect him to his home.

GLEANERS: Are you a Gleaner too? Then there is a good chance you have crossed paths with him at some point in time, especially over the years of intense gathering in preparation for the End of Days. Due to the nature of his work (Specifically in regards to dangerous plants and plant-like creatures, IE: Morbols) it's very likely your Character might work side by side with him, or at least in the same vicinity.

TRAVELS/IN PASSING: There are very few places on this grand shard that Dia has not been, which means his availability to meet people is vast and ever expanding! Perhaps you came across him at an Inn, or aboard a ship? Maybe you met him in one of the main cities, or out in the boonies of the continents... Regardless, Dia can be basically anywhere necessary to meet your character. (Note: Not the First however, I'm fairly lore strict on this point since only the WoL can freely travel back and forth at this point in the story and he is not a WoLPC.)

Prompt #29: (You Pick) Divergence

#FFxivWrite2024

"It hurts... But I don't blame you...

We lost a part of ourselves with her. You have every right to be angry, to hate the gods and fate itself. I would not hold judgement if you screamed to the heavens how unfair it is, how cruel and unnecessary taking such a kind person could feel.

Because it is.

Life is an unfair thing, we Gleaners know it all to well as we see much of the world. We witness the lives of so many, even more so for us Viera, whose lives extended beyond most others. In that amount of time and distance, we witness many things both good and unfortunate. Illness and death are no strangers to us.

But when it's someone you love... It hurts so much. She was my world.

I know you're tired. We spent countless nights at her bedside to keep her company so she would not go alone. Tonight I have not slept at all either. Part of me wonders if I could just go to sleep perhaps I would wake up and this will all have been a terrible dream, just a nightmare. You probably feel the same, but at least you made it in time for her, it would not have been right otherwise. We are her closest friends, over twenty years together exploring the world, finding all manner of strange plants and animals. Always the three of us. You gave her away to me during our wedding as her father had already passed, and you were responsible for introducing us in the first place. It only seemed fitting you joined us in her last moments.

From the beginning to the end you were there.

Watching you walk away was a different kind of hurt. I understand your anger, even with me as I grieved more quietly than you had wanted. It is simply not my nature to scream into the abyss, to throw things and curse the world. I felt my sorrow in quiet ways, putting all my energy into settling her affairs and burial. It kept me held together if I didn't have time to think about it.

If I didn't address it, I would be able to keep composed until I felt ready.

Once everything was done, her placard made and estate consolidated, I had nothing to keep me occupied, and I was afraid to fall apart. I wasn't ready yet. Perhaps, it might have been best if I had let it out like you did right away, to vent my sorrows and crumble to my emotions. Instead I simply buried my sorrow. I did what had worked before and returned to my duties with diligence. I though maybe you would as well, and we could go together.

I did not think you would refuse.

It honestly shocked me and the mere idea of going our separate ways was devastating. We had already lost her; I didn't want to lose you as well. You didn't even say goodbye to me, perhaps intending to spare my feelings? Or to prevent yourself from striking me in rage... I am not sure, but a letter...

It feels so empty."

Prompt #8: (You Pick!) Prickle

#FFxivWrite2024

"Ouch..." He tensed as another cactus spine was pulled from his hand, holding still as best one could in such a predicament, and visibly pouting. Normally the Gleaner was quite careful when working with hazardous flora and fauna, in fact Seedkins and dangerous flora were actually his specialty... The pout was met with a raised brow, the other man's expression focused behind his glasses. "Almost done, one more prickle." He cooed softly, returning his orchid eyes to the task at hand. "I'm surprised, you seemed to be avoiding them with ease earlier, are you tired? Perhaps the sun is getting to you? We could take a break and finish later." Kristoffer continued on as he worked to remove the last cactus spine, turning to collect a salve from his kit. It certainly was a boon to have a botanist and healer alongside on this journey. 'I was distracted watching your beautiful face brighten at the different flowers...'

Diarmune wanted to say the words, to praise his partner and dote upon him, but in the moment it would not be very romantic sitting there with a pitiful expression at being bested by a cactus, and so he merely shrugged, adding little to no clarity to his answer. The response got a small huff of annoyance from the auburn-haired Botanist as Kristoffer went about healing the small cuts on Dia's hand. "Well try to be more careful! If you were on your own this would have been a very unpleasant time. That was seven needles..." The scolding was expected and Diarmune's silvery-white ears would flick back against his head as he tried not to laugh softly while being given a slight berating for his carelessness. Something about Kris fussing over him was so endearing and adorable. "But... I haven't found the weird little guy... Some kind of Sabotender I've never seen before..." The Gleaner complained with a heavy Thavnarian accent, looking at his bandaged hand with slight annoyance. Stupid cactus. Bringing his gaze back up to the other Viera, they exchanged a soft smile as Kristoffer drew Dia's injured hand over, placing a gentle kiss along the linen-wrapped knuckles. "We can come back tomorrow you know... Plus it is getting rather hot out..." Considering it was mid-day the temperature was reaching a point of uncomfortable, even in the shade. Despite being rather suited to the warmth, Diarmune was somewhat in agreement that it was a bit toasty even for him, and it was true they could easily come back another time, even the next day, but he was determined to find the little cactus creature that had scurried away upon being discovered by the pair. It looked like a new Sabotender for sure, but it was small with a little pink flower on it's head. He wanted to study and document it, but the critter had fled into the cactuses with an easy he could not replicate. Thus they had spent the last two hours searching.

A defeated slight left him and Dia nodded, admitting defeat despite his stubborn nature. He simply could not say no to such a cute face. "Fiiiine... Lets go back and get some shaved ice." Something to beat the heat a bit. As Kristoffer nodded and packed up his items, the Gleaner simply watched and admired until a moment came when he could reach out and capture the other Viera's face with his hand, pushing off the rocky edge to stand and steal a kiss before Kristoffer could scold him further. Given the chance he might have pushed for a little more affection from the botanist but something caught his eye. A pink flower... Atop an odd looking sabotender of sorts...
