FUCK YREAH WOL QUESTION TIME: 3, 7, AND/OR 14

FUCK YEAH THANK U FOR THE ASK. SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG

3. Who do they worry about the most?

Probably Alphinaud and Alisaie. He knows they're strong, but with how young they are and how much they have to deal with, he always tries to make sure they're all right.

I'm partway through shadowbringers so (SHADOWBRINGERS SPOILERS) Zeynha is also very worried abt Ryne (currently Minfilia), he cares about her so much and is so worried she's going to try to give up her life for the original Minfilia's, something he'd never be able to forgive himself for if it actually happened.

They're his kids! Generally, one of Zeynha's first priorities is to protect children, so he can't help but worry about them, and does try very hard to be a positive adult figure in their lives.

He does also worry about Y'shtola quite a bit due to how many times she's almost died now. -_-

7. How have they dealt with losing people?

He does his best to keep moving, for better and for worse.

After Haurchefant's death, (who Zeynha was in a relationship with), he spent a good few days isolating himself from everyone else, until he was able to be strong for Alphinaud and Tataru again. Despite his emotions being all over the place, he tried to push forwards and keep being the hero Haurchefant wanted him to be.

Zeynha ended up pushing Y'shtola away a bit, being too worried about her, too overbearing trying to make sure she was okay. She had just come back to them, and after Haurchefant, he couldn't bear to lose her too.

Trying to keep moving, Zeynha worked towards avenging him, and focused less and less on healing, choosing offense instead, as a machinist. As a healer, he wasn't able to save Haurchefant, he wasn't able to save the scions in the waking sands or at the banquet. In order to move forward, in order to protect the people he cares about, he needed to be able to stop the people who were going to hurt them.

14. If they were not an adventurer, what would they be doing?

Zeynha used to live in Namai, in Doma. If he never left, he would have stayed a farmer and a healer in the village, at least up until the doman revolution happened.

I actually have an au where his sibling Revelry (she/they) becomes the warrior of light instead, and in that au, Zeynha didn't leave home to become an adventurer. He did eventually make his way to Eorzea anyways, alongside Yugiri and the other doman refugees, helping them out as a healer and doing anything else he could.

Even in wol!zeynha canon, his plan if being an adventurer fell through was to pick up some sort of trade. He might have ended up becoming a culinarian, having arrived in Eorzea through Limsa.
