AurAugust Day 3: Beginnings

Grand doesn’t remember where she started her life - it’s a long story, but the earliest she remembered was when she met her adoptive father as a small girl. He had been an adventurer, and her favorite person in the world.

So that’s why, when she was alone for the first time that she could remember, she found herself traveling to Gridania. Her father had told her that the Twelveswood was a beautiful place, and Gridania the best place to learn how to become an archer. Upon arriving in the citystate, she didn’t expect to meet people that would soon become as important to her as her father was. All she expected was to get the training she needed to become an adventurer.

This decision would prove to be the most important one she had ever made.

Auraugust 2023

Day 3 : Heat Wave

Despite being all too keen to spend all her time on the shaded patio back at the Mizzenmast, K'elli insisted that Svetlana enjoy the sizzling summer afternoon at Costa del Sol after finishing her lectures at the Arcanist's Guild for the day. The jury is currently still out on the whole beach thing.

Auraugust Day 3: Already going off script

Okay today's prompt was supposed to be "Heat Wave," which is a great prompt, but then I went completely off script and had to write 1.6k words of hurt/comfort Post-Vault angst. And then I HAD to do a gpose about it and now we're here. Fic under the cut! Heavensward spoilers abound!

Prompt List | Yesterday's Post

Turning a corner into a long hallway of private chambers in Saint Vaindreau’s Grace, Orion heard a rasping snarl, followed swiftly by a cacophony of glass clattering and shattering to the floor. Rushing to the third door on the right, he shoved it open.

“Kendra, are you alright?” Orion asked, eyes wide in panic.

Kendra stood, her vibrant hair loose and tousled around her face, staring balefully at the pile of shattered glass and pooling tinctures at her feet.

Feet that happened to be bare and quite close to thousands of shards of freshly broken glass. She was dressed only in a loose white shift that fell just past her knees. At some point she must have pushed the billowing sleeves up to her shoulders, leaving her wiry arms bare to the clammy air of the hospital.

“Does it look like I’m alright?” she growled at Orion. She clenched both her fists so tightly that her knuckles went white, bright against her tanned skin. “I’m stuck in this - this cell while the Heavensward get further and further away. I can’t even fucking hold myself up, let alone a sword. Aymeric is wounded! And Haurch-”

She choked on the precious name, unable to finish her thought. Her hands raised to her face as hot tears dripped off her dark lashes. With a sob, her knees buckled and she began to fall to the glass covered floor.

Orion rushed to Kendra’s side, propping her up, mindful of the wound on her shoulder. Large, incomprehensibly gentle hands eased her back to the bed, propping her against the footboard, making sure she didn’t put any pressure on her feet until clear of the glass.

Once Orion was certain her weight had settled against the mattress, his grip loosened but he didn’t move out of her space. He cupped the back of her head in his palm and pressed her face to the soft, well-worn linen of his shirt while he rubbed firm, comforting circles into her back with the other. She could feel the firm keratin nodules of his chin rest lightly against the top of her head.

“I’m sorry,” Orion said. “I’m so sorry, Kendra. If only I had kept up with you two. If I had been closer I could have…” His own voice caught in his throat as his sobs joined hers. “I’m sorry…” For a moment, he just held her close. The only sound in the room was the arhythmic staccato of their cries.

“No,” Kendra said, pushing Orion away. “I can’t.”

She attempted to get to her feet, but Orion held her firmly in place. “I can’t just lie here feeling sorry for myself, I have to - “

“You have to rest and heal,” Orion’s firm medic’s voice came to the surface. “You’re in no shape to be going anywhere.”

“Bollocks, I’m in no shape!” Kendra snapped. “I have to go check on Aym. We need to get an airship ready. The more time we delay, the further those void blighted bastards get away. There’s no time!”

She struggled against Orion’s hold but he firmly kept her in place, seated on the bed. He tried to reason with her, “I know, but Kendra, you’re in no shape to - “

“I don’t fucking care! Let me go!” she shouted. Strong, sharp nails found the soft, carmine-red skin between patches of obsidian scales.

“Enough!” Orion finally raised his voice and gave her a single, firm shake.

Startled, Kendra looked up at him with wide, watery aquamarine eyes.

Orion closed his eyes and sighed heavily through his nose, attempting to recenter himself despite his own grief and distress. “I know you want nothing more than justice for Haurchefant right now. I understand. I want that too. And I know that being stuck in hospital is just compounding your feelings of impotence, but I need you to listen to me very carefully.”

He looked her directly in the eye, an uncommon move for a man as fussy and perpetually busy as Orion. “Your injuries may not be severe, but they could easily become so if you exacerbate them with strenuous activity.”

Kendra opened her mouth to interrupt him but Orion quickly cut her off. “Please let me finish my thought. Alphinaud and I are going straight to the Knight Commander’s office from here. We will check on Aymeric and plan our next move. Then we will ready the airship and make chase. I swear to you, I will not let any of them see another sunrise if it’s in my power. But in order to do all that, I need to know that you are safe and healing, right here. If you run off, half-cocked, your wounds still seeping, I will be more concerned with your safety than the task at hand. I’m even second guessing letting Alphinaudu come along.”

Cupping her face with one surprisingly soft hand, Orion traced the line of her clan markings with his thumb.

“Please, Kendra. We both lost someone we love. I may not have loved Haurchefant in the same way or with the same intensity as you, but he was a comrade and a dear friend. I’m also reeling from his loss. I can’t - “ Orion choked, tears threatening to fall from luminous eyes. “I can’t lose another person I love today.”

Kendra remained silent, casting her eyes down to where she was wringing her hands in her lap. But she still craned her neck and purred softly as Orion bent down to press his forehead to hers. Their breaths mingled as each basked in the other’s presence.

Orion was unsure when they had started this ritual, sometime in the chaos after the Bloody Banquet. It had been just the two of them and a traumatized teenager, on the run.

At some point between losing the other Scions and now, Kendra had gone from begrudging colleague to the one fixed point in the maelstrom of his life. When they were first recruited Orion saw her as a lewd, raucous thief with an angel’s voice who drove him to distraction. Now, she was everything, almost like a lost shard of himself that he didn’t even know was missing. Knowing she was here and safe was the only thing keeping him from completely falling to pieces.

Taking a deep breath, he straightened. He brushed his thumb against her cheek once more before letting his hand drop. “Now,” he said. “Before I go, would you let me take a look at your wounds?”

Kendra nodded, mutely.

Starting with her ankle, Orion gently poked at the swollen flesh. “Looks like it’s just a sprain, no breaks. I’ll have one of the Chirugeons come by and wrap it so that you’ve got some compression and support.”

Falling into medic mode, he reached for the ties holding her neckline together, but then caught himself. “May I?” he asked, bashfully. “I’d like to check the bandage on your shoulder. Want to make sure you didn’t pull any stitches while heaving twenty pounds of glass and liquid across the room.”

In answer, Kendra reached up and unlaced her shirt, letting it fall open, revealing a prominent clavicle and a wiry shoulder, wrapped in linen bandages that were just starting to turn pink in a few spots. With a delicacy that still surprised her, Orion pulled her collar back a bit further so he could reach the tie of her bandage and unwrap it, revealing the pad of gauze and the stitched flesh beneath.

“Hmmm… the wound is seeping a little and it’s swollen but you don’t seem to have torn any of the stitches. Here.” Orion reached into a pouch on his belt and pulled out a small vial. “Drink this. It’s not a sedative, I promise, just an anti-inflammatory and immune booster. It will help the flesh calm down faster and help prevent any infection from setting in.”

Kendra nodded and mechanically tossed the liquid back as if she was taking a shot of the strongest Brume spirits. Still saying nothing, she handed the vial back to Orion. Taking it, he watched her in awkward silence for a few moments, waiting for her to say something. Anything really.

But Kendra remained uncharacteristically silent, eyes downcast, ears tilted back and pressed close to her head.

Realizing he would get no more from his companion, Orion leaned forward and placed a light kiss on her forehead. The incense of the Vault still clung to the loose fibers of her hair.

He affectionately squeezed her leg, just above her knee as he stood. “A chirurgeon will be ‘round shortly with fresh bandages and an ankle brace. Thank you, Kendra. I know this goes against your nature. I won’t let you down. I promise,” he said. Kendra just looked at his feet, face expressionless.

Orion smoothed the front of his tunic nervously, and then made his retreat. The hard leather of the soles of his boots made a quiet scuffing sound against the rough stone floors. Kendra continued to listen for the quiet shushing after he closed the door and walked back down the corridor.

As soon as his footsteps faded into the background noise of the hospital, Kendra stood from the bed. Grabbing the used bandage, she sloppily rewrapped her shoulder and tied it off with one hand and her teeth. Then she walked straight to the door of her chamber, pace steady and certain, seemingly oblivious to the screaming muscles and tendons of her left ankle and the tiny specks of blood she left on the floor as shards of glass pierced the soles of her feet.

Like hell, he was leaving her behind.

Heatwave #3 - Auraugust 2023

Yesuntei groaned as she dragged her feet along the dusty road in South Thanalan. Azim was high above and the heat was unbearable. The Xaela wasn't even really sweating much which was probably part of the problem, it felt like her body was just continuing to heat up with each step she took.

The day had started out well enough, travelling along the road heading towards camp dry bone. But then the heat had just continued to grow as the sun bore down from above, cackling maniacally as it tried to kill everything beneath it.

"Not…too much further…maybe," She stated to no one, "There has to be a…settlement around here…but where?" Her vision blurred briefly causing her to nearly topple over.

It was about that time she started hearing a distinct buzzing sound. Yesuntei didn't know where it was coming from or what was making it, all she knew was that upon hearing it she felt like the temperature had jumped up even higher.

The Kagon took one more step before she simply fell over, faceplanting onto the hot earth, unable to actually continue on. Her vision blacked out a few moments later.

----

When Yesuntei awoke some time later it was in what looked like a small cave system, the air was cooler and there were people going about their day. She blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. She felt a dampness upon her brow and when she reached up to touch it her fingers came in contact with a damp piece of cloth.

"You're awake, good. You're lucky to be alive, I'm getting to old to pull youngin's like you out of the heat before you fry." A gruff older voice spoke from nearby. Yesuntei turned her head and saw a large older Hyur man with long while hair and moustache. He was gazing down at her and though his voice was rough there was a friendliness to his face.

"I..was trying to get to little ala mhigo, but I got a bit lost on the roads." She replied, "Thank you for bringing me here."

"Don't mention it, just don't go making a habit about passing out, I'm Gundobald and you are in Little Ala Mhigo." Gundobald spoke while crossing his arms, "You really should wear lighter attire if you are going to be out in the heat, not that I'd advise doing so at midday."

"This is all I have right now, and I can't really remove any, it would let Azim's light touch my skin." The Xaela stated softly.

Gundobald eyed her over as if taking in her words, he seemed to understand where she was coming from. "Not a belief I've heard about before now, but you don't need to expose yourself to the sun, infact its not a good idea either. But you need to wear clothing that can breathe in this land otherwise you might as well be living inside a sweatbox."

Yesuntei pushed herself up onto her feet, taking a moment to steady herself as she felt lightheaded still. "I'd do that but, I don't really have any Gil to purchase such clothing."

The tall Hyur continued to eye her, "Everyone here is in a rough spot, so we can't give hand outs to every random bloke that wanders in. But I'll tell you what, since I'd rather not wonder about whether the sun has killed you, if you do a few small chores for me I believe i can get you some more appropriate attire. Won't be fancy, but it'll do."

The xaela nodded, "That seems like a fair exchange."
