FFXIVWrite2023 Prompt 1: Envoy

Shuri blinked at the request that was given of her from Kan-E-Senna. A fresh-faced adventurer, being asked to be an envoy for Gridania? She wasn't sure if Mother Miounne was the one who really put in a good word for her, but the Xaela was not going to be one to object to the request.

Kan-E-Senna was a delegate of Gridania; while Shuri had her own beliefs and traditions, while she stayed in Gridania, she was going to be respectful of the Elder Seedseer and her request.

Kan-E-Senna smiled softly, handing Shuri the rolled-up missives. Even though the parchments were light, for some reason, they felt awfully heavy in Shuri's hands. It was as though they were anchoring her toward events sure to come, events that she surely wasn't ready for.

Yet, the Xaela took these missives with a smile of her own and a bow. "I'll ensure to get these to Limsa Lominsa and Ul'Dah with all due haste, Elder Seedseer," she vowed.

"I have no doubt you will," replied Kan-E-Senna, her smile not once fading away. "Pray, head to Carline Canopy. The airship there awaits."

When Shuri straightened her back, she tucked the missives into her satchel with care amongst her potions and some medicinal herbs she happened to find whilst wandering the Black Shroud. She gave another bow of her head once more before turning to head for the aether shard right outside of the Lotus Stand, to teleport to the main aetheryte near where she needed to go.

This was an important task. She was not going to mess it up.
