After all those diplomacy talks in Garlemald, Lyse took it upon herself to "provide reinforcements" in Tural, if only to get some sun with Jubo.

XIVSapphicSunday: Summer.

Contrary to stereotypes, many Miqo'te are tolerant, if not fond, of water. This can come as a surprise to an unsuspecting partner.

FFXIV Write Day 15: Free Day 2 (Grief)

In which comfort is found within shared experience

Rating: G || No CWs apply || Shadowbringers spoilers || Warrior of Light & Alisaie (WoL/Minfilia; Alisaie/Tesleen discussed)

Enjoy!

(Today's word also grabbed from the FFXIV Sapphic Sunday prompt list for September!)

She finds Alisaie sitting alone near the Cabinet of Curiosity. They’ve been back from Holminster Switch for a few hours now and she’s barely said a word.

Alphinaud was antsy, about to go search for his wayward sister when Freyalin intervened; knowing the writing on the wall that the sweet boy never seems to be able to read. The Exarch too even thought she would be better suited for the job, so she went.

She walks up slowly so as to not spook the poor girl. Alisaie bristles as she gets closer, but makes no movement to run or push her away. Freyalin would usually be relieved at that, but knowing her usual temperament, it felt wrong.

Nevertheless, she takes a seat beside her and then finds any words she may have had gone from her mind. She tries anyway as she clears her throat.

“Your brother is worried,” she starts. Neutral ground, she thinks.

Alisaie scoffs and rolls her eyes, “There is nothing to be worried about. I’m fine,” she answers. Her voice betrays her as it trembles with anger, along with a grief Freyalin knows too.

It’s the same way she felt entering Ishgard for the first time. Running from false claims all while the people she grew to care about disappeared in front of her eyes. The one person she…she was falling in love with pleading with her to go ahead; that this was Hydaelyn’s will. It still bristles up her spine even now, but she shakes her head and focuses on the girl in front of her. Now wasn’t the time.

Reconsidering her approach, she says it plainly, “I am sorry about Tesleen.”

Alisaie bristles again and turns her face away from Freyalin, but not fast enough to hide the tears that fall at the mention of the name. After a moment she composes herself and gives a pained shrug, “It’s what happens in a place like this. I’m just glad Halric and the others are still safe. She wouldn’t be able to-” she cuts herself off and in a flash she slams a fist on the table.

Freyalin does not jump at the outburst and thankfully there aren't many people nearby to be caught up in the surprise.

Alisaie lets out a bitter laugh, “she wouldn't have been able to live with herself if they came to harm,” she finishes.

Knowing now a direct approach is what was needed, Freyalin places a gentle hand on top of her fist now. Alisaie stiffens but does not pull away. “How long were you two together?”

Alisaie’s eyes go wide and a blush instantly comes high on her cheeks as she stutters out a few garbled protests. They lock eyes and Freyalin can’t help the slight smirk that plays at her lips. Delighting only just in getting to see behind Alisaie’s curtain. She’s grown much since showing up half dead at Fortemps Manor.

“...almost six moons. We…she made me happy and I knew it was stupid and I-I didn’t want to, well I did, but she was just…”

Freyalin doesn’t stop the smile that comes now but does perhaps regret the giggle that comes when Alisaie gives a look that would certainly turn anyone else to ash. “I’m sorry,” she apologizes and gives the fist she still holds a slight squeeze, “you just…it was the same with me.”

“You?!”

She nods, “Minfilia and I.”

“Oh…” she whispers. A beat of silence passes as she digests the news, “then you know…how did you deal with it?” The vulnerability in her tone is shocking and Freyalin’s heart squeezes.

No point in lying now, “I didn’t,” she says simply, “Not for a long time. Even now I don’t know if the pain will truly cease, but I am better than I was…because of those around me.”

Alisaie seems to register her meaning and blinks awkwardly at the advice, but she then nods in understanding, and even finally unfurls her fist to give Freyalin’s hand a ghost of a squeeze before pulling away.

After another moment she stands up and adjusts her clothes. She takes a hand and wipes away a few more stray tears. “Well I should seek out Alphinaud so he doesn’t stay up all night sick with needless worry.” Her voice is back to it’s usual cadence, but Freyalin knows it’s forced.

Regardless, she nods in agreement, “Of course, Alisaie.”

As the girl turns to leave she pauses and looks back at Freyalin, “Thank you and I’m…sorry about Minfilia,” there’s something else said that she doesn’t catch and before she can ask about it Alisaie is gone, briskly walking towards the markets.

Freyalin leans back in her chair and lets out a long sigh, events of the last few days finally seemingly catching up with her. She hopes whatever comfort she tried to give helped.

The pounding in Deipo's chest was nothing like the rush of primal survival. And it was malms apart from rage.

#XIVSapphicSunday - Adventure

Lyse was confident that she'd be able to affect real change when she became leader of Ala Mhigo, but every once in a while, she'd grow dreary of all the politics and bureaucracy in the day-to-day.

Thankfully, there are plenty of adventures that involve more face-punching than pencil-pushing whenever she's with Jubo. All she has to do is ask.
