#her wife does love her back but in y'know a Y'shtola way

[capriccio-ffxiv]

On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?

Illyria, as of Endwalker-ish: snacks, lint, and seeds. Lots of seeds. She collects interesting seeds from everywhere she visits, promptly forgets to label them, then pesters Fufucha and her botanist friends with "lmao I forgot where I got these. Here's the last 20 places I've been uhhh let's consult the seed catalog". Also honestly any small object she finds neat -- pretty rocks, bird feathers, interesting seashells. The Three People in Illyria's Trenchcoat, post Endwalker:

Silver (the Anima): still tries to collect seeds. He has no idea what any of them are, but he remembers that she liked seeds. He tends to focus on "I saw the plant and it looked like something she'd like!" and "The shape of this seed is very interesting!" He also collects chocobo feathers, though he's not sure why he likes to collect chocobo feathers.

The Maenad (Esteem): snacks & a waterskin. gotta stay hydrated and fed, damn it. someday, she'll wake up, and then she'll be hungry.

Grimalkin (Reaper Avatar; though they'd call themselves an "advocate"): How dare you suggest they require anything in their pockets, or that they would do something so sentimental as to keep something for Illyria? Their relationship with her is a business transaction, nothing more. They are not keeping trinkets and mementos whenever they think of her -- pressed flowers. Small sketches. Shiny stones. Pretty shells. Don't even suggest it. Anything in their pockets is obviously the fault of Silver or the Maenad. Obviously.

Ryuu, currently post Mt. Gulg in Shadowbringers (assuming "average Shadowbringers day"): Lots of scrap paper with shorthand notes about the culture & history of Norvrandt, along with some sketches of things like landscapes, & many of her friends. most of the sketches are of Y'shtola. She might have drawn hearts around the Y'shtola sketches. Additionally, a pencil, a few pieces of chalk, assorted crystals, and the occasional attempt at a pressed flower that has gotten mercilessly crumpled. CURRENTLY: several unfinished letters to Lyse (she hasn't had a moment to finish a letter since they left Il Mheg).
