Since this one is relevant and I'm trying to write more detailed lore on this account: Although she's a gunner now Malady started out as a pugilist and began her specialized training in hand-to-hand combat when she ran away from home and joined the Immortal Flames when she was 18. (Yes, this means that General Raubahn not recognizing her until after her enlistment was over and she returned to Ul'dah as an "adventurer" is a bit of a sore spot for her that she only discusses with a select few.)
For years the pain and exhilaration Malady felt from brawling was the only thing that she knew could quell the rage she felt inside. What she didn't understand at the time was that it was a combined rage of her own emotions trying to scream at a world that treated her unfairly from the moment she was born plus the unending, simmering rage of an Azem who cannot accept that she failed everyone she loved.

Given that the WoL is a legend and is friend (or at least in good terms) with most of the influential heads of state on Etheirys at the moment...
How does your WoL deal with the many, many people that surely contact them to ask for favors of political nature?

WoL QotD: How is your WoL/OC with PDA? Do they shy away from it or are they very affectionate in public without a second thought? Whether to their friends, family or lover(s)?
Follow up: What's their limit? Is hand holding too much or will they straight up just smooch their partner in public?

I was thinking about WOL outfits and what not, so here's a question:
And to elaborate on the difference between option 1 and option 2, a brief explanation of my interpretations under the cut:
Illusion magic only masks the true appearance of an item, bending the light aether around the item to make it look different to the naked eye. No physical properties of the armour changes. It maintains its original dimensions and weight. If your WOL was wearing full plate armour then glamoured it to something more revealing, if someone tried to stab an exposed area, their knife would stop on impact of the concealed armour.
Transformation magic will fully alter the physical appearance of the armour into the applied glamour. It will take on the shape and structure of the WOL's desired form, but the properties of the materials used will be maintained. The high grade metal of the armour will be altered to a state where it was like a woven thread. The item would provide the same degree of protection as the original where it physically exists in its glamoured state. If your WOL glamoured their plate armour into a the street wear top, their actual abdomen could be pierced by weapon. Because this is magic you could fudge the physics if you so choose or say there's a secondary spell involved; but I'd imagine that if the transformation was completely lossless, your glamoured item will weight the same amount as the un-glamoured version. (Otherwise it would be more like a transmutation which is a lossy conversion and not reversible. The WOL turned their new savage tier BIS armour into a hempen camise and lost 95% of the material in the process. When they dispel the glamour they have that hempen camise's amount of the original armour piece.)
That's my take on the two options! I don't know if either of them really contradict any canon in-game explanations to the glamour system tbh. It's been so long since I picked up the intro quest and the only time I remember glamours being used as a plot device it was in the ARR Hildebrand quest line (I think the very end or within the coliseum arc, either way I'm not doing all that just to check and see that it says nothing of note)

kids are like small animals to veloce; he's very good at taking care of them, but for kids it's in a "get shit done" way. he doesn't actually like them cus unlike animals, kids talk and make no sense and exhaust him.
he's like this from lack of example from his own upbringing.

re: tail/ear pulling: if they're young enough, like toddlers or something, he'd just let them :'D if they're older he'd do the eorzean equivalent of that zoom meeting meme where the guy tapes his cat to a wall
