A later addition to this snippet... Shared because I'm feeling the wolship mood tonight while having my tea. ☕💕 And because these two tug at my heartstrings.

Safianne’s head snapped around as it felt like she heard her name called. The wind blew past her cheeks, carrying only silence.  But something tugged at her with urgency, her heart beginning to race and inexplicable worry overcame her.  If she ignored this feeling… Safianne somehow knew she would regret it for the rest of her life. A piercing whistle echoed through the chilly air, answered by resounding wingbeats descending from the sky above. Go back. I need to go back. ~~~ “You came…” “...You called.”

Vulnerable

"Look me in the eyes. Tell me what you see.”

When he did, those silver orbs were filled with the torment she kept hidden from everyone. The aching heart she concealed with a smile was reflected in the depths. It only lasted a short while before her gaze dropped, a corner of her mouth quirking up before falling as she pressed her lips tightly together. She strode past him without a word.

Estinien turned, wanting to reach out. “Safianne-”

But she never paused for even a moment. Her form disappeared into the shadowy halls, untouched by the candlelight.

When morning dawned, not a single trace of her remained.

I might be a little late but...if I may... *carefully presents my two current wolships, then hides* 🥺

Tsukia and Haurchefant-

They enjoy cuddling, once Tsukia is comfortable and used to the physical contact. She comes to feel safe with him, so will often be trying to have her activities such as reading be near him. Sometimes her tail will even subconsciously curl around him when they are together without her noticing. 🤭

Bonus (a future little snippet of them):

Morning had dawned. But Tsukia was still sleeping. And he… He didn’t have the heart to wake her. The paperwork could wait. As she snuggled closer, seeking warmth, he brought her into his arms, wrapping the blankets tighter around them. She gave a contented sigh, relaxing deeper into slumber. The smile that appeared on his face couldn’t be contained as he gazed at her fondly.  Gently nuzzling the top of her head, Haurchefant decided that he would sleep in this morning as well. Taiki gave a quiet huff as he stared at the two from his bed on the floor. The hoarhound pup settled back down as well, curled into a ball. All was quiet in the Commander’s quarters, though all others were already bustling through their morning routines.  It wasn’t long before some started wondering where Lord Haurchefant was, unused to him being absent at this hour. There were a few who could only give each other knowing looks before going about their business. 

Safianne and Estinien-

These two are still pretty new to me as a ship, but... Currently, I would have to say that they enjoy training and adventuring together. 🤔 Safianne may be a Sage, but she trained as a Lancer in Gridania when she was young before then, so Estinien ends up teaching her the ways of a Dragoon while they are getting closer and learning about each other. Though initially baffled by it, I think Estinien also enjoys when she randomly falls asleep against him, feeling safe enough to let her guard down, and when she shares her travel snacks with him or specially makes some for him. 🤭💕 I think they both enjoy the playfulness that comes out during a good sparring match between the two however.

Considering one of the things she did during their initial interactions was kicking a lance up off the ground to single-handedly point it at him... This moody Sage is undaunted by his grump. 🤣

I love them a lot with just the few snippets I have so far. 😭💕 She's so willing to do anything to protect him, even at great cost to herself, as she is unwilling to stand by and lose him like she did her parents. Not when she has the power to change things this time.

For the sake of protecting anyone she gets into a relationship with, Saf wasn’t one to make obvious displays of affection, such as kissing or holding hands in front of others. It was to save them from being targeted by anyone after her. But it becomes different with Estinien.🥺

*realizes how much ranting I've been doing* ...Oops. Apologies for the length. I shall make myself scarce now. Hopefully, this brought you even just a tiny bit of enjoyment. 😅🥺💕

Throwing this out there as a wolqotd -

Could I get some wolships in here and what’s their favorite activity together? 🫣

[tsukiakurotori]

glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?

Took me a bit of thinking on this one. XD Thank you for the challenge. 💕

For Tsukia, it would probably have to be her icy green, nearly seafoam green, eyes. Her white hair is a close second though. 🤭 She wears a mask that hides her face at the beginning of her story, but, when it comes off (according to Haurchefant...hehehe...) those eyes of hers can be quite captivating. 😏

Safianne's striking silver eyes stand out with her, especially when they appear more "molten silver". They contrast with her black and deep red hair, leaving that silver gaze imprinted in many a mind's eye.🥰

The twins, Liena and Vanyelaire, have both been noticed for their blue hair first, and their matching eye color second. Though, Vanyelaire's outfits may draw the most attention first, flashy bard that he is. 🤭 (Though, some have noted his nose first in passing... >.>)

Thank you for the questions! I enjoyed delving into my characters to ponder this one. It was nice after the creative drought I've had. 🥺💕💕💕💕💕

Just imagining Haurchefant gifting Tsukia her first Starlight robe and introducing her to the celebration for the first time gives me so many feels and serotonin. *melts* 🥰💕

[tsukiakurotori]

"Moon and Shadow"

As she walked along the beach, Tsukia failed to notice the silver gaze that had caught sight of her, following the young Au Ra with mysterious intensity. Turning on her wooden barstool, the figure clad in black and crimson observed the odd passerby. Her drink sat forgotten in her hand as she glanced over the Au Ra’s white and red robes, the attire of a White Mage.  Then her narrowed gaze fell to the small placard hanging from the woman’s belt. Etched upon it was a hawk. A black hawk with daggers hidden in its outspread wings. That crest filled her mind’s eye, crimson drops falling slowly along its edge. “Run, little girl.” The mug cracked in her clenched hand. Shaking her head to free it, she tossed the barkeep enough gil for the drink and damages. Then she rose, walking away and into shadows newly cast by the rising sun as it painted the sky with the soft colors of dawn.

[tsukiakurotori]

What does your OC think of the sky? (from @tsukinoxiv)

This took some thinking for a moment, along with a bit of nudging to get Tsukia to tell me. XD

She loves the sky and seeing it change over the course of the day and night, watching the moon and stars appear. Even the dawn that lit up the coastal waters in front of her the morning Tsukia finally found out her sister's fate was sadly beautiful to her. 🥺

Thank you so much for the ask! If you have anything more you would like to find out about Tsukia and/or the others, feel free to send more my way! 🥰💕

Stormy weather always has a way of bringing thoughts of Liena to his mind...

With the return of his sister, Vanyelaire takes up his bow once more, determined to not lose her again, no matter what else....

Though he may not be a Warrior of Light, this Bard has unforeseen talents of his own... 👀

[tsukiakurotori]

He of Wind

Name: Vanyelaire Eryssel

Age: 34

Height: 6' 7"

Pronouns: He/Him

Nameday: 12th Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon

Guardian: Thaliak, the Scholar

Sexuality: Homosexual

The result of the love between a noblewoman and a bard, Vanyelaire is Liena’s twin brother, who took after his father and became a skilled traveling bard. The two are strongly bonded, brother and sister loving to sing together and reach a beautiful harmony. He often enjoys finding a quiet corner to play music simply for the joy of music, as he loves it. The lute and harp are his preferred instruments, though he has dabbled in the flute some. He often went to the Twelveswood to sing for the Moogles after they deemed him worthy of becoming a true bard. They maintain a peaceful friendship throughout the years.

More partial to peace and music, Vanyelaire did not accompany his sister in the capacity of an adventurer, though he is a member of the Adventurers' Guild after having been influenced by Liena. Tragedy struck his heart, however, when his sister joined the group of adventurers later dubbed the Warriors of Light. Vanyelaire thought Liena dead after the Calamity, composing songs based on her in an attempt to ease some of his grief. The thought of her death hit him hard, leading him to donning a bard's hat in order to make it easier to hide his expression when his performance wavers.

One day, while performing, a familiar voice joined his melody, stunning him into dropping his harp as his eyes rose to find Liena walking slowly toward him...

"I already thought I lost her once. I won't lose her again."

(Extra fun fact: Vanyelaire doesn’t sleep well alone, nor does he like to, so he typically cuddles with his pet to sleep. Otherwise he has a hard time sleeping, though he doesn't show it to others. It got worse after he believed Liena died, to the point she comments that he seems to have lost weight since she last saw him, five years prior.)
