[Welcome to the cold, snowy lands of Coerthas. Maybe you're supposed to be here. Maybe you landed here through the power of non-canon jamjar logic. Who knows.

Regardless, a white-haired catgirl is looking at you funny. What do.

Don't give me that face, Miah.

[shhh

taking your hand]

Are you still well?

As well as I can be, considering the circumstances.

[so basically just so-so]

[she just makes a small affirmative noise.]

... We've warmer coats awaiting inside.

No coat could possibly be good enough to keep me warm here.

Perhaps not. But it may at least serve to take the edge from the chill.

. . . Alright. I'll come. It's better than freezing in my tabard. I would've worn something else if I had any idea that we'd be somewhere not in Thanalan later.

[smiles faintly, reaching with her tail to tug at yours]

If we had had any idea of that, we would have opted for armor instead of niceties.

[wraps her own tail around miah's own :C]

At least we may have stood a chance with our actual armor and weapons. . . though maybe it's for the best that we didn't have them. There's no need to make a bad situation worse.

[but if we had had them, maybe the scions would have survived]

It will become worse still before it's done.

[okay but then we'd ACTUALLY be in trouble and Raubahn told us to get our asses out and clear our names.]

That's how it always works. Hopefully, my family can stay out of the storm.

The Admiral will keep them safe. Ul'dah would not risk war with Limsa Lominsa to strike at them.

I don't doubt that she would. But it's worrying, all the same, because my sisters and brother are the sort to strike back. Father should have enough sense to not let them go to Thanalan, at least.

It may still be possible to send a message.

Maybe, though I wouldn't want to... things don't need to be made worse, with any kind of action. They don't need to be anymore in the fire than they already may be.

[nods]

Then, will you come on an errand with me?

... Of course. I wouldn't say no.

Near Whitebrim, there is a nest of chinchillas. I have need of their hides to make more coats, and Whitebrim needs the nest removed.

I'll go.

The chocobokeep still goes to Whitebrim, doesn't it?

It does. It should be no longer than a bell or two, that way.

I thought so.

I'll return as soon as possible, Miah, with as many chinchilla hides as possible... and maybe some gil.

[and with that, she leans over, kissing miah gently]

[She smiles, more openly, leaning against Ranmaia and twining their tails further together.]

Will you not have me accompany you?

Weren't you keeping a vigil with Alexei? I don't want to pull you away from the task, Miah.

... That is true. But nor do I wish to be long separated from you.

I have my ring. Rather than waiting for the chocobo to return, that will be faster...

What of Marhi, then?

She has plenty of people that love her, but. . .
