Luxâs reaction to (pick one):
âOh, I never tithe. The Order obviously just uses the funds to line their own pockets.â
âHow nice of you to pick up after your alleycat gutter trash.â
âThere wasnât enough power in thaumaturgy alone. I had to look... outside.â
âItâs bad luck to have your will written up. It just invites Thal to take you up on your offer.â
conceal donât feel
âWhy the hell would anyone be afraid of Spriggans...?â

Contemplating cactpot numbers for hours and hours counts as a form of worship for priests of the Traders.

Their first impression:
âI thought he was Eightâs brother.â Lux can practically hear the sounds of distant protest, and she hurries to clarify, âW-well, they look similar enough! Pale, dark-haired, blue eyes⌠And I didnât think they were going to tell me either way!â
Their current impression:
âHeâs sweet.â A pause. âI donât mean that in a weird way. Heâs - fifteen, right? No. I donât care what youâve heard about priests of NaldâthalâŚâ She mutters grumpily to herself for a while. Eventually she comes back to the question proper, âHe seems out of place for the Barons.â
What they like the most about your muse:
âHe brings out a good side toââ She stops short of saying a name. Her mouth presses together and thins, and she stares hard at a splotch on the floor. âEveryone in the Barons is on what approximates for their best behavior when Iâm around. Shane sets a good example. But thatâs more of an evaluation of his skills and less on his behavior, so I suppose - I should say - he has good taste in theater.â
What they dislike the most about your muse:
Lux gives a vague flutter of her hand. âOh, I think I had to explain what âtitheingâ wasâŚâ
What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival etc.):
Acquaintance, business contact, occasional spriggan-handler
A general opinion of their relationship:Â
âI think Iâll be seeing more of him. âŚI wonât mind.â

Their first impression:
âThe very first?â Lux wonders aloud, absent-mindedly picking at a stray thread at her increasingly shabby gloves. Her chin tucks; strands of pale umber hair fall forward to shroud her face. Her speech comes in starts and stops. âMaster Lumont and I met through a wild array of disguises. That is⌠to say⌠I knew him by mask, first. Newspaper articles about his firm and the Ossuary receipts of his generous offerings, second. He had been a stoic guardian who watched over a partner of mine as we roamed the Thanalan underground or toured the Ishgard cathedrals. And then he had been someone I was impressed upon by the high priests of the Order to maintain a good working relationship with.
ââŚAnd it was because of a mistake Iâd made that we were forced to meet face-to-face, given name to given name. So even before I properly saw him, my impression was⌠clouded.â
Their current impression:
âHeâs a reasonable businessman,â she says quietly, interlacing her fidgeting fingers together and sitting up straight. âAs I expected. He knows not to give something for nothing. Not information - certainly not his trust. And yetâŚâ Her shoulders slump. âHe didnât have to, but he defended my intentions. And ⌠revealed something. I was never intended to take over my familyâs business, and the Order has taught me something in the way of persuasion -â If standing on dusty street corners screeching about the values of keeping oneâs will updated could be called âpersuasionâ, â-But negotiating is out of my element. I was not expecting to part on equal terms.â She says this like the words taste funny in her mouth, and now she averts her gaze and changes the subject.
ââŚI wonder what he does. Now that he doesnât practice thaumaturgy. He has enough employees working for his firm that he doesnât even need to handle a quarter of the cases personally. I am more likely to find him wandering after Phi⌠I wonder.â
What they like the most about your muse:
âHe is deeply intuitive. Sharp-eyed. Intelligent.â She cracks a tiny sliver of a grin. âI see why he garnered the rumors he did about his abilities, and the respect of the Order - even without being shown his mastery over aether. And knowing why I wonât ever see it.â
What they dislike the most about your muse:
âI donât like coming into other peopleâs officesâŚâ Lux trails off. She starts again, âHeâs played his cards very well to make it as far as he has. I donât know when heâll play mine or⌠what will be on it.â She makes a noise like the sound of a bird beating its wings against bars, pursing her mouth to whistle a frantic trill. She leaves it at that.
What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival etc.):
Someone whose opinion she deeply respects, and whose abilities she looks up to.
A general opinion of their relationship:
âI enjoyed speaking to him.â A pause. âIâm sure our mutual business will let us cross each otherâs paths again. Iâll do better next time.â
If applicable, something they wish to reveal:
ââŚI am glad Phi has him. Iâd oft wondered what she was like outside of our joint wanderings and - Iâd imagined much worse. I wouldâve been angry if her freedom was restricted or bound in any way. âŚItâs not. She wouldnât stay if it were. That has to say something.â

đ for Kharn
Their first impression:
It takes Lux a minute to settle on a single word, and she spends most of the time with her gaze averted, steadily flushing a mottled shade of red. When she finally opens her mouth, itâs to exhale in a ragged rush and finally offer, âConfused.â
âI was⌠impressed, truth be told, by a man who could waltz in to a meltdown of thaumaturges and laugh as easily as he does. And then resentful - who was he to downplay what we do and how angry we become? And who was he that Dirge didnât immediately Flare him the same easy way he would do others who spoke out of turn?â
The longer she spoke, the more her expression settled towards her usual neutral stoicism. The corner of her mouth jerks abruptly out into a fanged grin; she issues a sharp bark of a laugh and shakes her head. âI didnât figure it out that first meeting. Tracked him down to the Gold Court and his first impression of me was that I was wanting protection, wanting gil, and then wanting a date, all in short order.â
Their current impression:
âI shouldâve known. Of course he knows what the price of tangling with the Void is. And of course heâs paid it - in blood. Itâs right there staring you in the face - that mask he always wears⌠He spends a lot of time cracking jokes and trying to distract you from it, of course. You, and everyone else, and himselfâŚâ
What they like the most about your muse:
âThe most?â Lux pressed her mouth into a grim line. Although sheâd had no problems ripping into the darkest parts of the captainâs history just moments prior, now she had settled into an uneasy silence. She muttered something about lipstick and books before finally pitching her voice loud enough to say, coherently, âI like brunch.â She refused to elaborate.
What they dislike the most about your muse:
ââŚHis idea of settling debts is running away from their collectors. That only works if the rest of your crew is willing to run away, too. And Iâm not.â
What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.):
Captain, friend, and someone Lux would gladly have by her side (or⌠in the background, apparently not paying attention, cracking the occasional one-liner) during adventures
She is very gingerly toeing that line between openly referring to him and the rest of the Black Cats crew as âfamilyâ. The word carries a lot of weight for her.
A general opinion of their relationship:
âIâm slowly learning not to take myself so seriously. Thereâs a lot Iâm learning from him. Iâm sure heâll learn something too.â
If applicable, something they wish to reveal:
âFrankly, if Naldâthal wants to reach him, He should talk to me more and Kharn lessâŚâ Lux sounds wistful.
