–

“Let go of me.”

L'yuta doesn’t respond and continues dragging Xi forward. The other miqo'te stumbles and bristles furiously and finally rips his sleeve out of L'yuta’s grasp.

“They were just children,” Xi spits, less composed than he would have liked. His white-knuckled grip tightens around the hilt of his sword. “I could have saved them.”

L'yuta doesn’t move. “You would have died.”

“I can defend myself perfectly well.”

L'yuta whirls on Xi, stalks forward and grabs the other miqo'te by the fabric of his dress. “I was hired to protect you. If you want to go die, fine. Do that on your own time. I don’t give a shit.”

“Lord Yhasu.” L’yuta adds, as an afterthought, although it sounds more like an insult with the way he spits Xi’s name out. He drops Xi and whirls back around, stomping forward once again.

L'yuta doesn’t like visiting Ul'dah. It’s loud, it’s smelly, and no one ever speaks the truth. A merchant crows cheerfully about “imported buffalo jerky” to the bustling crowd, and even at ten years of age, L'yuta can smell the gamey scent of common aldgoat.

He sniffs. Cityfolk really were a stupid bunch.

It isn’t long before he spots his first shoplifter. A small red-headed miqo'te – around L'yuta’s own age, from the looks of it, sidles up to the meat stall.

L'yuta stares.

The kid glances around furtively, scoots closer to the stall, and snatches a handful of jerky.

L'yuta can’t help it. “If you’re going to steal, at least be less obvious about it,” he says, loudly, and the other kid drops the jerky with a start. Immediately, the merchant whirls around to start yelling, and L'yuta decides this is a good time to leave.

He pushes his way back through the crowd and steps back into the much quieter adjacent alley, but before he can get too far, a heavy weight hits him in the back and L'yuta goes down like a sack of popotoes.

“Th’ hell was that for,” the weight snarls, and – oh, it was the miqo'te boy from earlier, and he was seething. L'yuta immediately reaches for his knife, which is promptly kicked away.
