leaving Sui-No-Sato

Day 27 - Memory

Yume goes home, and takes Aymeric with her.

I am going to expand the hell out of this, but for now, I am satisfied with this for the prompt. ♡

My FFXIV Write Masterpost here.

"We don't have to stay if you're uncomfortable."

Aymeric's words were soft, his hand a comforting presence at the small of her back. Yume looked up at him and tried to quell her unease.

"I know."

She wished her voice did not sound so small.

The sea-muted sun sent caustics rippling over the sands beneath their feet. Outside the dome, schools of brightly-colored fish swam by birds in flight.

They had come to the bottom of the sea, to the place of her birth, with little forethought. They were in Kugane. It was not so much farther to show Aymeric her home.

To introduce him to her step-father.

She had written of Sui-no-Sato before and related it to Ishgard. He was curious, of course. But he knew, like all of their familial relations, that the past had been... complicated, to say the least. It was evident, however, that she loved her step-father as he had loved the aging Borels. And so he did not push, but he had still put the option out there for her.

"Do you want to go and see him?"

"But say the word, and we shall return to our room in the Bokairo," he told her.

Yume favored him with a warm smile. "I know," she said with greater confidence. "He is not a man of many words, but he was good to me. I want... I want to reconnect, if we can. I want to at least try."

They stopped in front of a small stone hut, a shape so familiar it made her ache. She knew every smooth stone, every crack, every splinter of wood, every shade of every piece of paper in the sliding door like she knew her own scales.

Yume's hand was raised to knock before she even realized she had lifted it. She watched it shake.

Aymeric wrapped his own hand around hers. The warmth of him steadied her. She pressed her cheek against the back of his hand before pulling her own away and rapped lightly on the door frame.

From within, she heard movement.

Fear dripped through her like rain. This was a mistake. She should not have brought them here. She should have─

The door opened.

"Namine?"

A broad, teal-haired Auri man regarded her with disbelief.

"Papa," she answered weakly.

I also found a mod for bionic arms. I'm still debating on whether or not I wanna add this but I think bionic arms are the coolest thing ever and giving my WoL one would also be super cool. I'd just need to come up with a good reason for it.

Making a second post on this but Garlemald could have had a massive interest in Sui so sato as an underwater base: Submarine tech exists and diving suits wouldn't be out of character for them to have. It's in the middle of the Ruby sea and near TWO occupied regions! They could bypass the Pirate Confederacy taxes AND Hingashi laws!

Amazing weekend in Sui no Sato at the Bajarob Naadam event! 💙 Many thanks to the organizers and volunteers who put in so much hard work to make this happen.

Home, where it all started

[mor-and-more]

Mor rating Stormblood major areas based solely on personal preferences!

Fringes - have KITYS and SNEKS, Dimworld is unexpectedly cosy, but also it's annoying AF to ride through its desert parts when you are only the Area Appropriate Level and not +11 and have no flying or even mount speed, so gotta dock some points for that, 7/10

Rhalgr's Reach - The Measure Of His Reach in one arrangement or the other playing as the area tune 24/7, drilling into my brain. I want to bite after about 10 minutes. 1/10 do not recommend

Peaks - the best features there are the Ziccurat (filled with Angy Qiqirn) and the Cool Roadway and the nice spots only available with flight. Everything wants to eat you and/or is generally annoying. 3/10

Lochs - has a fun salt lake and a nice tune while the MSQ is rolling! I have assaulted the poor B tier hunt mark critter so many times there.. Points mostly docked for the Ala Mhigan Quarter being there, where I STILL prefer to fly to get places because it makes me SO CONFUSED. 8/10

Kugane - the place of "you'd think a weeb would like it" for me, but no, me no likey. My feelings range from indifference at best to "FUCK I'd rather spam one dungeon for levelling without sanctuary bonus" at worst. It really feels like 3/10, but I loathe it much more than the Peaks, but also I have to be there sometimes because market board + retainer summoning bell, so I might hang out there between roulettes. I think I've even stayed in the inn like 2 times between 4 characters and didn't even realise that the "Bokairo Inn" means it's.. a functional Inn, on the 1st critter. But also hey Bokairo sounds close enough to Bokaroido (like y'know, Vocaloid spelled in Japanese), so I'll let it stay 3/10. Even though I don't like it there

Ruby Sea - very annoying to swim around before you get diving. And with diving, too. Shisui of the Violet Tides is in the local answer to the Mariana Trench, and you need it for flying. And getting there takes ages, and then you find out you didn't dive deep enough. But points are added for my lizard seeing a fellow lizard guy's chest in Onokoro, which prompted his sexual awakening, lmfao. So I guess that raises is to 6/10 from 5/10

Yanxia - just kinda H. I love the rainbow lakes, but that's about it. When I get in, I want to get out asap, be it through quests or despite quests. The region I would forget about if the game didn't remind me it exists, a lot. 4/10

Azim Steppe - NOW WE ARE TALKING. The only region where I WANT to do side quests for the fun of it. I mean, LIZARDS!!! LOTS OF THEM!!! Magnum Fuck the Never Fucked doesn't even spoil it because you beat him up (twice), and everyone dunks on his incel ways. The Little Sun can go set and think about his behaviour, and I'm going to give the area a solid 1000/10 because that's my rating. It's the only reason I can tolerate Stormblood, but also it has too little quests. I want to know about ALL THE TRIBES dammit! Also. I'm definitely bringing Arisu there as warrior. For the petty reason of getting Magnai trounced with his own kind of weapon by a pretty lady
