“I know I’ve already thanked Ishgard officially as one of the representative of Gyr Abania but I wanted to thank you in person.” She doesn’t know him well; just bits from the tales their mutual friend told her during their trip to Kugane. Still, she respects the Lord Commander for everything he has accomplished so far. She even admires him and wonders if she could use him as an example --- in her heart, she wishes to follow his steps. A republic for Ala Mhigo; a dream she can now reach with the tips of her fingers. “ I’m Lyse Hext. A former member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. During my last journey with our mutual friend, I heard many stories about Ishgard. I know you’re still trying to rebuild your city --- and yet, you came to help us. I’m very grateful for your help and support. Not just as a leader --- as ‘Just Lyse’ as well. Thank you. ” A small yet genuine grin blooms on her crimson lips; even if she’s not speaking as the leader of her people, she can’t help but feel a little bit nervous. Papalymo was the talker in their team --- Lyse has always been better with her fists than her mouth. / @ncegling​ 

“You're alive.” She rushes towards him as she can’t help but look at him up and down with extreme curiosity. It’s not the first time Thancred has come back from the dead (was he even dead? or asleep...? did he lose his soul? she has no fucking clue) and she wonders if this new miracle has let any kind of repercussions on his body. “ I mean, you’re awake --- how? What happened ? And what about the others ? Are they----? ” - She babbles with a mix of excitement and concern; she might not be a scion anymore but they’re still her family. All of them. / @scior​

I still own 5 starters but I'll write them tomorrow so don't think I've forgotten some of you ❤️ I'm doing them in order so it also doesn't mean I don't want to do yours !

“You seem... different. Is everything okay?” She cannot remember the last time she saw Meteor --- yet for some reason, something has changed in him. Lyse cannot put her finger on it but she’d bet that something happened during his absence. “ Why do I have the feeling that I just missed one of your biggest adventures? ” - She jokes yet there’s a hint of sadness dancing in her voice. It’s a new chapter for the both of them. / @macrocosmic-star​ ♡

“Has Ishgard changed a lot since you left it?” A curious smile rounds up the corner of her mouth as she settles next to Aria. Her blue eyes can’t help but stare at a small group of templars. For all she knows, some of them could be Aria’s friends. “ I mean, is it different from what you remembered as a child? Do you plan on going back after everything is over? ” - She hopes that her questions won’t bother her comrade; she’s fully aware that, sometimes, she’s a little bit too curious for her own good. / @echopulse​ ♡

“We have never discussed the future.” She knows so little about her friends; about her dreams and plans. “ What do you plan to do once all of this is over. I mean --- the war, Zenos, the Ascians... Everything.” - She wonders if Thyra has even thought about it or if she just follows the wind whenever it leads her. Either way, Lyse intends on helping her reach her goals --- the same way she has always been here for hers. / @makersruins​ ♡

“Don’t worry about me. It’s just a flesh wound.” She lost focus for a moment on the battlefield; the wound on her stomach is nothing but a bruise. Yet, it shows that she’s still unable to control her emotions. They’re both her strength and weakness. “ Do you know what’s happening with our friends? I’m so worried about them.” - If someone has the slightest idea of what’s happening with their comrades, it has to be Rham’ir. / @ancsthctist​  ♡

“I hope that even if you continue your travels, you’ll come back to visit Ala Mhigo from time to time.” Her lips turn into a sheepish grin as she scratches the back of her nape. She has never been good at talking; she trusts her fists more than her mouth.“ Even if you grew up somewhere else, I hope you know this place can always be your home if you want it. We--- I will always be happy to see you, Inari.” - Inari isn’t only a hero for the people of Ala Mhigo; she’s also a sister. She’s one of them --- and she’ll always be welcomed as such. / @lightsmemento​  ♡

A list of few HC I need to write down : - Lyse is a confident bisexual woman. - Lyse was adopted by Curtis; it also explains why she doesn't want to disappoint the legacy of her family. + hc about Yda and how cool Yda was - Lyse isn't dumb; an essay. - Lyse's growth during the events of Stormblood - Lyse's anxiety and low self-confidence - Lyse and the scions - Lyse, Fordola and Zenos
