Possibly. They're piscivores aren't they? Well mainly I think.

I have just come back from a short fishing trip in Lakeland. He could easily have followed me, having seen me sitting by the water side.

Shame I handed my catch over. Could easily pull a favour and get a couple back for him.

Okay! Lil bit of searching and I think I got it.

He seemed to like it? Very interesting call they have. I'd almost liken it a firecracker, the kind I saw Hingasgi a few years ago.

Pretty friendly lil guy I'll say.

Though how he ended up in a city like this, much less in my room, that's gonna be a mystery for a while I think.

You know, now you say that. He is kinda small for his species. He could be quite young.

He doesn't seem to be in any distress. But is very quiet. Just kind of staring at me.

I'm also like 90% certain he's a he too.

nobody ever praises me or pats me on the head or feeds me small treats despite my consistent excellence in the field of not purposefully ripping cabinet doors off their hinges to fulfill some sort of maladaptive destructive urge

I have gotten so much use out of the phrase "I'm one hell of a butler" these past few days.

I think I might keep this outfit in glamour plates for a little while yet. It makes me feel fancy.

Fray happens to like it too.

Seeing how All Saint’s Wake is only just happening now, I figured why not throw together a costume? So here we are! Slasher butler armed with a chainsaw scythe! I have scared so many people by smiling with the pointy teeth inserts in. <3

Today I have made a profound discovery.

That being impromptu cookouts rock.

Catching fresh fish to fry up while your neighbour brings home grown popotoes and the family down the road brings home made cider.

#aethernet chat (ic) #not really a discovery #more the first time ive done it since the Meteion ordeal and all that jazz

So what's the vaunted Warrior Of Light and savoir of Etheirys up to these days?

Fishing mostly. As weird as it sounds. It's relaxing in a way I never expected.

That and Erenville is a good teacher. As one might expect from one of Sharlayan's gleaners.

#aethernet chat (ic) #its relaxed bun times #now that the world isnt ending

Anyone else go through that occasional phase where toast and butter is just the tastiest fucking creation on the planet and you have to restrain yourself from eating an entire loaf of bread in ten minutes

#i call that Thursday #and i have never managed to restrain myself #outside of very specific circumstances

Guess who got her first extreme trial clear!

Yes, Rhaya has officially cleared trial 2 for Endwalker on extreme difficulty!

Honestly, one of the hardest things I have ever done in the game. It was a brutal slog from being new to the fight all the way up to knowing how to dodge every attack she throws at you near perfect while still maintaining solid DPS

While it was hard, I must say I enjoyed the challenge a lot. Learning the fight was fun

And for my efforts, the reaper weapon happened to drop at the same time too. So I have a new toy, behold!

To tell the truth, I've been at something of a loss for what to do in the wake of Meteion's defeat and saving of Etheirys.

Garlemald may as well be defeated at this point. The threat of Primals has been diminished to a point where even they aren't an issue anymore. None of the Unsundered yet remain to seek the rejoining. Zodiark and Hydaelyn are gone.

The big stuff is over. So now I have more than enough time to devote to smaller things.

I have been strongly considering one thing however.

I'd like to visit Dalmasca. Specifically the jungles. A place that is rather poorly understood or explored. Perhaps I should see if I can twist Erenville's arm enough and convince him to come along. He'd love collecting samples to bring back to Old Sharlayan. He could pretend it's just work. While in reality just goofing off with a friend!

The local Viera tribes aren't exactly friendly though. But our group being 2 of their own people might stay their hands?

Part of me wanted to try recruit G'Raha. But we would be risking it enough as is without bringing a Miqi with us.

I would criticise others eating habits. But I have a demon on my shoulder that demands souls to eat.

She's also somehow the sensible, grounded one.

autumn leaves, chocolate layer cake

Autumn Leaves- What is something you find particularly beautiful about nature?

Oh anon, the things I could recount about nature that makes it the most sublime thing one could ever witness. I have seen so much and yet by all accounts I have seen practically none of it. At least in a relative sense anyways!

In the time before time, when men lived for ages and the star seemed at peace. Humanity need but think and a thing could be created from the aether that suffused our world. And it need not be contained to the inanimate. Life itself could be brought forth with the proper understanding. Many of these ancient peoples sought to fill the star with life. To rigourously study and determine where a new lifeform might have been harmoniously slotted into the great web of life upon Etheirys.

But why do I bring this up? Surely such a time is of little consequence. But the reality is, it ties in tightly with what I find most beautiful about the world.

For you see. Though those days are millennia past and those who shaped them dead and gone. There yet remains life these ancients brought forth. Many have changed, some have not.

And that I think is beautiful. The enduring truth of nature. That such sights might be beheld by not just myself. But seen by those who come generations after I have fulfilled my duty and returned to the star.

Nature endures and provides. Giving unto those of yesteryear, those of today and those who will come after. Perhaps when my soul once more is reborn, I might get to witness the same things that moved me so today.

So to cut it short. Nature is beautiful because it endures far beyond the lifespan of any one individual.

Chocolate Layer Cake- What is something you really want that is completely superficial? Why?

Ah yes, a spiritual question followed by something more mundane.

To tell the truth, I have spent more gil on glamour prisms than I want to admit. I just like things looking cool okay?

Having the ability to change the appearance of a thing like that is something I can't resist.

The number of places I've delved into repeatedly in the pursuit of fashion is... Well staggering honestly.

So I guess the superficial things I want right at this moment are prisms and shiny clothing or weapons to use them on.

Once upon a time it was fame and fortune. But I guess I have since learned those are... a two edged sword? Or something along those lines anyways.
