Alphinaud has gone at enthusiastic length about Estinien, to a point that it's markedly unusual. Urianger has no choice but to assume that whatever personal criteria Alphnaud has are a good enough marker that Estinien can be befriended, and. Well. Urianger does not get many chances to expand his circle. He should gain that ability! Know other elezen because... that's what people do, right? He did tell himself he was going to get better at blending in among the general population and where better to start.
Estinien is very... general? No, that's not right at all, but he is very different from the other Scions, and that counts for something. "Yes," Urianger says after Estinien echoes him. Hearing it repeated is no easier than saying it in the first place, and the space above Estinien's shoulder is raptly interesting. Especially after Estinien hmphs at him. Is that... getting laughed at, or dismissed? Either way, Urianger is... a little embarrassed now.
It's difficult to get a read on Estinien. Alphinaud's reviews of him are not easy to follow up on. However— Estinien turns the tables upon him! How can every melee warrior be so good at unseating others' balances, regardless of if in a fight? Unfair. "Doth it? I assumed it made us coworkers, those along the same line of battle. For a surety, I thought thee harder to befriend and that thy membership among our ranks was under duress alone, but I am quite relieved to find it not the case." Visibly so, in fact.
𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫. ‘Tis impossible not to – not when the boy who follows him as a second shadow possessing of a habit of talking overmuch. By now, there’s not a soul within their company he’s not had a too long lesson of their histories. Of the man who joins him now does he know of too know his deceit – old and new. Too many chances given, in his opinion. One too many, much less a second. Though ‘tis the difference between he and the rest of the Scions and their ardent belief in that there lies more within a person’s heart, even the wretched sort undeserving of such faith.
Tumblr media
Knowing this, does he raise an eyebrow at such truths laid bare. A rather vulnerable confession and certainly not one he’s heard afore. Certainly not in Ishgard, where even the most hopeful and naïve sort would be loathe to unveil their hearts for all to see. “You… wish for us to be friends.” The raised eyebrow has yet to settle, so he schools his features, finding himself wistful for the days of old when he could walk about in full armor – helm included. “Hmph.” His mouth twitches in an effort to repress a mirthful smile. “Are we not such now? I’d hope so after all that we’ve seen and done together, how you’ve mended my wounds while I guarded your back. There’s naught that creates a stronger and surer bond than those forged in the chaos and flames of battle.” For a certainty would he call Urianger a friend now, sordid history or not.

i think uri and dee should be co-conspirators. dee is burdened by the omens, urianger is a professional omen-giver. prophecied destruction curser and doomsday enthusiast healer. its not that he wants to see doomsday he just likes collecting prophecies of doom and seeking to mitigate them. also they can cause problems on purpose. accomplice (friendly). this is both for fantasy au and for fate au. fate au uri also thinks cu is compelling just because he likes the idea of being bound to a star (missed the point, uri, but hes still staring at cu in contemplation)
(fate au urianger is an atlas mage, specializes in methods of reading the future. fantasy au urianger is a wandering sorcerer whos ostensibly connected with a few royal families but mostly just Appears In Places.) fantasy dee and urianger should meet because i dont know i said so. girl learn magic from local weirdo who knows too many spells outlawed by the wizard convention.
fantasy laurel (beastkin basically, a wandering warrior) would meet cu and demand a spar DFSGSRBGS because she operates by shonen anime protag rules of if someone looks neat we should fight to become friends LOL they could get into weird adventures together as friends after she demands trial by combat...
i think pat and gaius would get along. they are both very tired ex soldiers who used to have notable political power. and are now stuck in limbo of 'boy howdy i sure would prefer if things were less they way they currently are', except gaius's method is now he's a hunter who kills malicious spirits and the like. but anyways they could be people who Commiserate bc hey what the fuck how are u me but with a 20yr age difference. war is hell

"For a while, I would have agreed. Now it's rather useful— once people recover from their fright upon seeing me, that is. This body cannot be torn, and an undying adventurer is quite useful in completing high-end commisions. Heheh." She's smiling, though it's difficult to tell. Aroro has heard something about the plague being curable, but she's already used to this fate for herself.
It's fine. Nym isn't coming back. "Awake, but unaware of proceedings if you missed the calamity. You weren't missing much. I couldn't say which of us would have been having more fun at the time." That's a joke. Kind of. Loosely. The world ending around you and getting absorbed into a rage-filled collective, being eternally trapped and awake in prison. Both bad. "Hmm! Interesting. Adventurers are hardly a standardized bunch, but I cannot say I have met chimeras before. Well, just because you're a clone does not make you meaningfully different in practice from anyone else. You seem like a standard person to me, ser Millions Knives."
"Ah." So that was what a tonberry was. "You'd probably have been happier as fruit. And yes, quite old. I was awake for my imprisonment, though." That might be a joke. Knives watches the fish go for the bread for a moment, thinking. What exactly were Plants? Chimeras of a sort, certainly. Were he and Vash also technically clones given the nature of how Plants reproduced?
He isn't sure.
"Plants in general are Allagan-made chimeras," Knives settles on finally. "Though I believe my brother and I may also count as clones given the nature of our particular creation by Amon. We're also independent in a way our kind normally are not." He doesn't know if Vash has told the Scions about their abilities either, so he'll keep that to himself.

ur modern au i think professor uri is allowed to be a recurring customer to selenas bookshop... theyre frenbs.
i also think your primal/eikon au could be messed with. rusia ventured into gyr abania as a scion adjunct and has blessing of light so could go check in on rumors of a primal. the part of my brain that likes putting gaius in the 'well you unfuck this' torment nexus also has him impervious to primals and subject to trying to unfuck the body horrors of gyr abania. selena gets rescued by one or two clowns
uri teaching selena magic could also be fun. how far are u in xiv, i know ur about page mostly includes arr stuff. is selena a wol? i got the vibe of like, scion-adjacent from her. bro we are on sylph management together bro.
i think rusi should bother her and be Relentlessly Engaging because theyre like that, and she works with the wood wailers for a bit, who rusi thinks are generally pretty cool. (they are not a wailer but do lend their lance on contract sometimes because leves need it, and all that). they can be frends! rusi is a nuisance who is glad to be here and very loyal so they win friendships that pay off well enough....

@aetheryic asked:
“I may have caused a problem. Although, it wasn’t entirely my doing.“ alisaie n uri c: ask meme // accepting always
Urianger raises eyebrows in surprise. "May?" Now that's unusual. "Such deflection ill becometh thee, my lady." He expects her to say outright when she has caused a problem! This means something must be afoot— either a more consequential problem than normal, or something where it's important that fault is dispersed.
"I shall ask for thy council: should I be worried, or intrigued?" Is this a problem he should solve or exacerbate, as it were.

@whalefelled // the people crave thanuri proposal!! and so they shall have it.
To do it 'properly'? Urianger's brows furrow in confusion. "I could not propose when we are already-- ah." Does it not count for Thancred as it wasn't performed on the Source? How heartless. He steps a slight bit back. "Perhaps I shall tell the pixies that their efforts having us wed was not enough for thee for it to carry over." He's just teasing, though if he followed through on the threat Thancred would experience catastrophe were he ever to re-enter Il Mheg.
He's forced to think on the spot now, though. If he'd known Thancred expected a proposal instead of an anniversary gift, Urianger would have been much more theatric with it. Well, he can a little.... "Close thine eyes?" His various magecrafts allow for something akin to area glamour. This is more suiting to his sense of aesthetics and dramatics, as a floor of stars blooms beneath them, casting a dome of night with tiny stars and planets falling as a wreath of coloured lights about Thancred's shoulders and the hand Urianger clasps with his. Urianger's fondness for stars has only gotten stronger since the First, and this shall do for suitably 'pretty'.
As invited, he kneels. "Alright," so, Thancred may look. A smile slips out— it's fun, Urianger's having just a little bit of fun putting on airs, and the idea of proposing to Thancred (even though he knows what the end result is going to be) has Urianger feeling a sort of lightheaded giddiness. It's silly, maybe. But he really does love him. "I shall do this properly. I love thee, as the moon doth love the sun so much she holdeth and gloweth with his light. I love thee enough to wish us bound eternally— on this world and any other star or shard our journeys may find us standing upon." No excuses that take him by surprise next time, sir. "Wilt then, thou, Thancred Waters, allow me to take thy hand in marriage?"

the pit in her stomach threatened to overwhelm her at any moment. no words were shared between her temporary caretakers, the leveilleur's, 'pon the cries of the ragnarok's return. their worries rested with their own children, understandably. it rattled her racing thoughts, churning a tempest in her mind -- they were back ? all of them ?
she barely remembered the fact she wasn't supposed to be in their world at all. her focus fell on the massive ship, then krile and tataru sprinting towards the harbor. without thinking it through, ryne chases after them - perhaps it's childish of her, is she truly so close to the scions to disturb such a moment ? that thought leaves her to falter at a distance, close enough to see and far enough to give them space. what if .... what if ....
ryne didn't realize the breath she retained until a familiar group emerged. tired, perhaps sluggish and aching, but alive. of course they are ! when all seems so hopeless, her heroes never give up. her family. her breath hitches in her throat, nails digging slightly into her palm. she steps closer before any tears can start, pale eyes suddenly locking with urianger's. a teary laugh and a meek wave follow. " w-welcome back ! "
Laurel leaves the ship first, as is her right as hero triumphant. Tataru's voice shouts first, welcoming back the Scions all before the crowd erupts in noise. There's shouts of congratulations, relief, questions as to what happened, the press of the curious. Approximately every person who was in Sharlayan when they left, and then a good handful more who probably arrived when hearing about the stakes of the matter, seems to be gathered and eager to see the disembarkation. Everyone presses closer to the harbour, though thankfully it's not crushing— and there is enough space for Urianger to notice a familiar figure.
Which should not, actually, be possible. His attention slides over her at first as the assumption is this isn't Ryne, because she can't come here, before Urianger double-takes. It very much is Ryne. She waves at him and Urianger runs to her with a shout of her name. (Urianger hears Thancred echo it in confusion behind him before he, too notices the girl.) Urianger pauses half-kneeling for a second, arms open in a brief uncertainty if he should wait to get permission, before hugging her anyways.
He gets it now, a little of the feeling when this happened to him. As much as she shouldn't be, she is very much real, hale, and healthy on the Source. Her laugh is choked with relief and he nearly cries too, if he hadn't already exhausted most of his emotional capability waiting for Laurel to wake on the ride back.
After their brief hug, Urianger pulls back to hold her at arms length, looking her over. (Brief, Thancred is going to want to interrogate her too.) His check is aetherical— she was around Krile and the concern would be for her body, but the individual before him seems to have strong aetheric cohesion. She seems fine on a magical level. "Ryne, full glad am I to see thee. But, my dear, how didst thou get here? If thou hath no true body here, thou must needs return posthaste after greeting thy friends and family." It's a danger to her physical health! And who knows how long it's been from the First's perspective! Who is keeping her intact? How did Titania allow this (definitely Feo Ul knows everything, so--). "Just because the world risketh ending does not give thee permission to endanger thy very being, love." The world risks ending approximately yearly, we can't be having this.

⭐ i barely know these ffxiv guys, what do u got for me
send a star for muse interaction thoughts!
ffxiv laurel has gotten so different from fgo laurel that its almost like 'should i make a second fgo laurel but no im going to resist'
anyways heres my fate thoughts
laurel is a mage/master whos a cambion but didnt know that till like post grand order when merlin told her. its fine. shed be an auxillary master who was previously employed by chaldea and protected from the explosion thanks to her primary servant being abe-no-seimei and his clairvoyant bullshit (she hates him). she could be ritsukas aneki figure LOL. also she doesnt have a bsd verse but shes adopting q bc she only wants the best for children and she cant help herself. and also clytie gogh.
tsolmon would be. an alter ego servant. i feel like he and enkidu would cause problems on purpose together for some reason. this is simply the vibe that i have in my heart of hearts. theyre in the dirt together.
sorry for dipping into ur test muse page but urianger is jacks mom now. he is a loving mother. uri is the Other last atlas mage. he lived bc he didnt notice the apocalypse. i think he and fran are friends and neither of them understands what the other one is saying ever but its pure vibes. he would enable ilya i think.
over on my sideblog avicebron: sorry i get the strong vibe i tried to kill you once seig: apology not accepted?
also on my sideblog ritsu wants to be barghests friend so bad

⭐!!
send a star for muse interaction thoughts!
HMM ur about page is a little difficult for me to pull plots from but lets see what i can do
rusi is also from the twelveswood and looks up to knightly types and would in fact shut up a bit around ultan instead of being their usual fast-talking. theyre both liable to be out in the woods and also carpenters (tho rusia usually makes. Doodads.). i also feel like ultan and esugen would get along but thats entirely based on a loose vibe check.
rusi would also think daithi is neat and be a little bit [sparkly eye?/??] around him lol
i think faolan and tsolmon would get on?
y'lhira and urianger seems like they would be chill friends.. im SO sorry its really hard for me to get ideas of plots when i dont have too many details about OC backstories/personality OTL but if its hidden somewhere that i just cant find i can rewrite this with more stuff s-sowwy.... but if theres anything you think would be good im always down to listen!!!

send a star for muse interaction thoughts!
minfilia is little siblingzoned by laurel so fast. not in the overprotective sibling way tho laurel is a Conspiratorial Sibling. laurels bringing minfilia contraband materials and taking her out to costa del sol for girl vacation. minfilia needs a break 2k24.
laurels ancient, ker, is hyths friend. every time emet selch talks ker looks over to hyth and goes "divorce him for me :|" /joke. anyways they can be allowed to cause problems together. the only time ker submits concepts its just exceedingly detailed notes on a type of toxin a living thing can have and then a note like "just find something to put this in idk" and theyre left in folders in the bureau. at least he brings back gifts from his journeys but when he delivers them he loiters to talk shit while hyth is on the clock.
chiyo and urianger can share custody of thancred but i think she should bother and be a nuisance to urianger for fun as a sign of friendship. menace this elf. bother him.
also im so sorry after you mentioned yotsuyu and laurel in ur ask ive been so about it. what if we were both unhinged forces of destruction. au where laurels her knight because laurel being a hero or villain is a matter of perspective and also knight/ruler makes me [puts fist in mouth]
rusi'a and x'uri being people who have run into each other often enough on the uldahnn streets. work friends. aroro also hangs out in uldah a lot if x'uri ever does adventuring jobs aroro both doles those out and leads forays.... 3 work friends....
i think tsolmon being an intermittent traveling buddy for chiyo would be fun. two dragons who like messing with people what will they do.
i think samarra is cool. urianger research buddy. also tsolmon would respect the shit out of her for her ability on the field. esugen is slightly unnerved but also going DROP IT!!! WHAT ARE YOU CHEWING!!! DROP IT if she tries to eat raw meat. 45 minute long unskippable cutscene lecture about meat safety.
