FFxivWrite2024 Day 23 Prompt: Cloud Nine

Ruru hid a smirk as she saw Raha's face light when she asked him to come along. The boy was positively beaming and it was adorable. He reminded her so much of Taln in his eagerness and excitement for just about anything to do with adventure. What they were doing wasn't very exciting just a run of the mill culling of some beasts. Even still he was moving with an all but bounce in his step excited because he was on an adventure with the woman he idolized.

If Ruru was honest with her self his hero worship was uncomfortable at the least down right worrisome at the greatest of it. It had nearly gotten him killed and she had made her opinion of his attempt of self sacrifice well clear. He had taken it pretty hard but he had no idea the history she had concerning male Miqo'te dying for what they thought was a good cause.

Raha turned to her and said, "Looks like one of our quarry is directly ahead shall we…"

"Hold yer chocobos lad no sense in rushin up cause these ones don't move that quick lets take a moment an watch cause they also move in packs so just cause we see one don't mean its alone."

The Seeker nodded his tail lashing in agitation but he heeded her words which relieved the old Lalafell to no end. She wasn't going to have another young fool rush in. She shook her head dispelling the memories that were trying to shadow her mind and focused on the beast ahead. As was so often the case she had been right within moments of them observing two others joined the lone beast snapping and snarling at their packmate.

"You were right Ruru…hmm how do we go about this then." Raha murmured

"Ye've been working on yer spell work right?" Ruru asked

The Miqo'te nodded and he adjusted the staff in his hand looking at her expectantly. She nodded reaching for her Paladin soul stone and in a burst of aether she was armed and armored, "Well then I'll charge in at the one on the right ye put to sleep the other two and we'll do what we can te put it down fore that spell wears off. Or if ye still got that binding trick ye had as the Exarch use that."

He gave a rueful smirk, "That had been a bit of Allagan technology and sadly is currently sealed away within the tower."

"Right, so then use a sleep spell then aim some fiery blasts at the one I'm gonna be hitting just try not to singe me ye?"

Ruru then charged in as she felt the magic hit the other two creatures. The one she was aiming at met her with jaws snapping as she brought her shield up. It then howled in pain as a fire ball burst on its back and when it started to turn she bashed it in the face with her shield making it focus on her.

As the battle continued Ruru was relieved that Raha was so willing to listen to her. These things weren't difficult to deal with but they definitely used pack tactics to their advantage against what to their feeble minds was easy prey.

They had a bit of a surprise of a handful more joining the fray but again Raha listened exactly to her instructions and they handled them with minimal trouble. The worst injury received was Ruru had a pretty nasty bite to her shield arm. Which Raha began to heal as soon as the battle ended.

As he was healing her Ruru said softly, "Ye have no idea how grateful I am lad that ye actually listen. Not everybody I've worked with was so willing to so quickly."

"Did…did you lose someone because of that?" he asked tentatively clearly fearing he was overstepping boundaries.

Ruru gave a sigh and nodded, "Aye, he was a long time partner of mine both as an adventurer and personal. He was a lot like ye eager to do what needed doing wanting to help everyone he came across. We had been asked to deal with some bandits and even though he knew I preferred to observe before going he charged in and…."

"I am so sorry Ruru…can I ask what his name was?"

She gave him a reassuring smile, "Taln of the U tribe. We had met when we were very young on a Little Ladies Day. Poor lad had no one really cause o a sickness that struck the tribe and he was really shy and not one to easily speak with folk."

"Please tell me about him Ruru if it doesn't pain you too much to do so. I'd like to get to know him." Raha said softly

She gave him another smile and nodded, "It pains me a bit but he wouldn't want me to wallow in grief so ya I'll tell ye bout him,"

FULL NAME: Sypha Sirius

NICKNAME(S): Syph (s-eye-ph)

TITLE(S): Dancing Phoenix

AGE: 22

Height: 5'0

BIRTHDAY: 25th Sun of the Fifth Astral Moon

RACE: Miqo'te

GENDER: Female

Personality—— —

Sypha has always had a knack for finding trouble and appears to have a problem with authority figures. These habits stem from her inability to listen to orders, though this is mostly if they don't make sense or seem unreasonable. If it isn't for these reasons, then she is likely doing the exact opposite of what was asked solely to spite another simply for the fact they're trying to boss her around and she doesn't deem them to be in a position to do so. This Fiery Miqo is also known for the mouth she has on her as she often favors sarcastic and witty replies.

Like her father, Sypha can also have a bit of a temper and this can often play in to her defiant behavior. Should one find themselves on her bad side if the proper buttons are pushed, they're likely to be met with either fire or claws, whichever the little Miqo feels like using at the time.

Like her mother however, she will happily offer tarot readings for the right people. Should one find themselves fortunate enough to come to call Sypha their friend, they'll have made a lifelong ally, and friend.

Saga is a very homesick, very emotional Viera who feels completely out of her element in Eorzea, but is desperate to keep that firmly under wraps. Her goal is to travel this unfamiliar land to learn as much about it as possible while lending her services to the populace as a bounty hunter (particularly where voidsent are involved). She believes in herself and her own abilities above all else and is far too proud to back down from challenges. Her greatest desire is to find and defeat her rival @the-void-stared-back. Until that day, gaining a reputation as an accomplished adventurer and voidsent slayer will have to suffice.

THE BASICS –––

Nameday: 7th Sun of the Second Umbral Moon (April 7th)

Race: Veena, Viera

The Seeker (or Explorer)

The Seeker leaves the known to discover and explore the unknown. This inner-rugged individual braves loneliness and isolation to seek out new paths. Often oppositional, this iconoclastic archetype helps us discover our uniqueness, our perspectives and our callings. Seekers are looking for something that will improve their life in some way, but in doing so they may not realize that they have a lot already inside of themselves. They embrace learning and are ambitious, and often tend to avoid the encumbrance of support from others. Needing to "do it themselves," they keep moving until they find their goal (and usually their true self too).

Shadow Side: The perfectionist. This will manifest itself in your life as the tendency to always strive to measure up to an impossible goal or to find the “right” solution. We see this shadow element in people whose main life activity is self-improvement: going from health club to health club, traveling the world, bouncing back and forth through self-improvement seminars and workshops, etc. If this sounds like you, you might wind up feeling as though you haven't really accomplished anything through a lack of commitment.

Life Goal: Search for a better way (better life) Fear: Conformity, entrapment Response to Problem: Leave it, escape it, take off Life Task: Be true to a Higher Self Personal Gifts: Autonomy, ambition, identity, expanded possibilities Personal Pitfalls: Inability to commit, chronic disappointment, alienation and loneliness

------------------------

This definitely seems to hit accurately on Kansui’s wanderlust, his need to see new places, and ultimately to look for himself in every new land he visits. Though while he does like to do things himself he will give it a couple of goes before he actively seeks help with things rather than shirk helpful hands. The whole perfectionist thing is accurate enough, even if Kansui doesn’t realize he’s measuring at all!
