Baron Silvaineaux de Rosaire

Baron Silvaineaux de Rosaire,

Is often encountered at prayer,

Yet his faith in Halone,

Is no mere ceremony,

But also expressed through warfare...

For the next installment of my silly poetry series, we have the noble and charismatic Baron Silvaineaux de Rosaire of @houserosaire.

Silvaineaux is an incredibly well-realised character, with a compelling backstory and a potent blend of flaws and virtues. I always thoroughly enjoy reading the responses to character asks and learning more about Silvaineaux and his world.

The writing style is engaging and punchy and there are some beautiful screenshots and gposes, with a heady mix of action, romance, chocobos, family drama, eroticism and humour.

I can definitely recommend @houserosaire for all of the above reasons, but the writer is also thoroughly pleasant and supportive of others and interacting with them is always fun.

Prompt #11: Once Bitten, Twice Shy

FFxivWrite2023

"So that's it then? You're hanging up your sword?" Rarely did the gentle giant of a Knight raise his voice, but Roland was at his wits end with his sulking friend. They had spent the last few hours in a heated argument, so much so even the maid would not dare enter, even to offer them a warm drink or a meal.

"I... I don't know alright? By Halone's fury Roland, we're the only ones who survived!" He was pacing as much as his injured body would allow. "What if I go out there and I screw it up again? What if more people die because I missed something?"

Silence permeated the room.

"It wasn't your fault. No one saw the dragons descend through the snow storm." Roland's tone softened and he finally took a seat, resting his head in his hands. "Regardless of who was on watch, it would have ended the same." It felt like a broken record going around and around, and yet he was making no headway on the subject.

"Please... Don't walk away, not after everything..." Running a hand through his blonde hair, Roland glanced up as he heard his friend cease pacing. "It's okay to be afraid... And it's okay to feel angry and hurt, but you can't let it win. Giving up just means they died for nothing Tsirae." Staring at his raven-haired friend, practically a brother after all these years, he couldn't help but feel a pang of hurt at the look in the young Knight's eyes, normally so warm and now icy cold. Perhaps the trauma was still to great, the wounds still to fresh.

"I'm sorry... Perhaps I have been out of line..." Despite having survived the same ordeal, he didn't end up in the maw of a dragon and nearly exsanguinated in the snow as Tsirae had. Were it not for the old stone wall having fallen in such a way as to protect him from the onslaught, there was a very good chance the Captain would have perished like the rest of his squad.

Once again silence between them.

Finally after a minute of nothing but the crackle of the fire his soft voice broke through. "I do not know if I would be more of a liability than an asset in battle... What if I freeze up? Fail again? How many more lives can be on my shoulders...?" Tsirae lowered his gaze to the floor, emerald eyes vacant and glossing over. He looked utterly exhausted, but continued to persist with the argument rather than rest.

"At lease sleep on it... Do not make any rash decisions on exhausted emotions. That's all I ask." It was a fair request to make, and Tsirae couldn't deny his closest friend that. "Fine..." He caved and the blonde Elezen visibly relaxed his shoulders, clearly relieved to have some compromise. "Thank you... Now perhaps it would be a valuable use of our time to go home and get some rest?" Pushing himself up from the chair, Roland fetched his coat in order to exit into the frigid night air of Ishgard. At the door he paused and glanced back, finding his friend standing by the fire a little longer. "Go home, see Rheyla, she's been worried about you, and please consider my words..." "Please don't give up. Come back stronger. If not for yourself... Do it for them."

A young knight comes into my mind As from some myth of old.

He came! You felt yourself entwined As a great storm would round you wind. He went! A blessing undefined Seemed left, as when church-bells declined And left you wrapt in prayer. You fain would cry aloud—but bind Your scarf about you and tear-blind Weep softly in its fold.

A young knight comes into my mind Full armored forth to fare.

His smile was luminously kind Like glint of ivory enshrined, Like a home longing undivined, Like Christmas snows where dark ways wind, Like sea-pearls about turquoise twined, Like moonlight silver when combined With a loved book's rare gold.

Just realized it's been a week I didn't play FFXIV and that after I reach that Heavensward part.

The " A smile... better suits a hero." part in english.

And in french "But you... You have such a beautiful smile... Try to not forget mine...."

Definitively in my top 5/top 10 lines that hurt my soul deeply.

And Alphi and the others doesn't make things easier when they say "I didn't know you were so close/had such a relationship.". Like bitch... Are you trying to make me cry ? Like I don't need to know. I know that Haurchefant was flirty with the WoL but not sure I would be able to handle it if they were in a romantic relationship or a queerplatonic relation so deep that it hurts bc WoL reaction was already hurting me by dropping to the knees and holding so gently his hand with their own so adding this and make it canon ?

It's the killing blow.

Well done Yoshi-P, well fucking done. But also you goddamn bastard. How dare you hurt my feelings like this. Do you want to take away what's left of my tears that Honkai Impact 3rd chapter 25 of main story, "Everlasting Flames" animation, the end of the Kolosten arc, "Thus Spoke Apocalypse" animation and the whole Elysian realm arc hasn't take from me ?

#final fantasy 14 #heavensward #haurchefant greystone #ffxiv haurchefant #I'll miss you buddy #Also note that it take me one week after doing the Vault part and everything that comes with it to post this #I really needed to cope with it before to post my feelings and reactions about the cutscenes #Alphi and Aymeric to WoL: I'm sorry to know that Lord Haurchefant was your SO #Me: Who allowed you to hurt me like this ? Who allowed you to reveal this in the aftermath of the Vault ? #WoL: Reject Red Mage and Dark Knight return to Dragoon to kill the ex leader of Ishgard and his knights. #Especially the knight that took away a bright smile early. #Special mention to Lord Fortemps reaction that made me understand that this really happened #and that his son was truly gone #And then they drop that Aymeric his the arcbishop's son #I was like WTF !? Ishgard is really that fucked up !? #What's next ? Cid is going to die ? We won't be reunited with the other Scions until Stormblood ? #Leaving character development to Wol Tataru and Alphinaud ? #Estinien being a half dragon and half human in a biological way but he grew up with his human/Elezeen parents ?

Idk what it is but like fanfics have really opened my eyes to Aymeric. Like in the MSQ I was like "Oh yeah I like him but idk I like Haurchefant more" but in the Dragonsong War questline + fanfics made me like him a lot. Like he's actually a prince I love him so very dearly. Plus he's yk actually alive so he has more fanfic potential (sorry Haurchefant you were my first love tho)

#like listen he's sooooo unbelievably handsome and prince like #has me kneeling and kicking my feet giggling and shit #i can't get into estinien tho #sorry estinien girlies i do not see the appeal #he's a lot more big brother shaped to me #maybe it's the daddy issues and the way estinien became softer and more welcoming of wol and alphinaud that got me #like yes i crave healthy older male figures #like even in that regard i like haurchefant x aymeric a lot #granted i love haurchefant a normal amount but idk the potential of little junior knight haurchefant and senpai aymeric??? #yeah #also they're both ishgard's most hated bastard children i think they'd be close #actually i do wish their friendship was played up a lot more bc i think it would be really interesting for aymeric to realize that #thordan has to fucking go like you ordered one of your knights to kill the WOL and also MY FRIEND like #sorry i have a lot of thoughts #ffxiv #aymeric de borel #ffxiv aymeric #ff14 #heavensward

gale myste, proprietor of the forgotten knight, who took on the deed to the place after old gibrillont passed. the name and the accent suggest he's a brume native, though even the eldest denizens of ishgard's lower levels don't remember anyone by that name.

one thing's for sure: the greatsword he keeps behind the bar isn't for show. private disputes are one thing, but anyone starting trouble in his tavern is swiftly dealt with, whether by master myste himself or his taciturn, horned second-in-command.

(any questions about a secret knightly order operating out of the back of the inn are shut down just as quickly.)

'forget me' - said the warrior of light; and turned his back on the annals of history)

this is not any big lore but i think Odeline veiled wears the same fit as Fray with minor adjustments (face mask not being armor, but cloth; not wearing greaves under the skirt; side head cloth goes over her horns vs horns out normally on au ra)

so i think there's been multiple instances of Sid mistaking Odeline for Fray at a distance esp from behind

#i dont think she know-knows the dark knight squad but #she and sid definitely know of each other bc au ra in ishgard lol #odeline tag
