FFXIVWrite 2023 #27: Sole
(A/n: Meteion's a precous little sweetheart, I wish her nothing but the best even after everything that happened. She at least deserves a better chance with a healthier outlook on life and emotions. ;-;
Got the idea while I was taking my alt thru msq, and right now she's in the early Elpis section of story. So I was reminded of just how innocent and naive and sweet she was in that stretch of story before it all goes poorly.
Word count: 844)
“I’m happy that you’re here,” Meteion said, little claws clicking against the paving stones as they both sat on the stairs looking up at the dusky sky. Fhara’s ear flicked, pleased by her words yet curious. She didn’t need to voice anything when Meteion could no doubt sense her, continuing on on her own.
“There are lots of familiars here. Lots and lots. But none are like me,” she said, wings drooping slightly. But they perked immediately as she turned with a beaming smile toward Fhara.
“But you’re like me! The same! I’m happy!” Fhara’s smile widened, tail curling behind her.
“I’m happy you’re happy,” she said, Meteion nodding enthusiastically.
“But I can’t explain it well. I’m not lonely here - I have Hermes. He makes me happy. The other people here are all kind. They help me. But meeting you made me feel really sad. Something lost? I found something I didn’t know was lost.” A confused frown crossed her face, which Fhara mirrored, if only because her own question was brewing.
“Is there really no-one else like you here? Another familiar that can sense thoughts and emotions?” Fhara asked.
“There was before but– Oh, I shouldn’t say!” Meteion interrupted herself, hands shooting up to cover her mouth. Yet almost immediately, she continued anyway, “But they’re not here anymore. Hermes sent them away. And he kept me here. I’m with him everywhere here!”
Fhara’s frown deepened. Sent them away? Another of his own creations or someone else’s? But then given what little she’d seen of him thus far during her time in Elpis, he didn’t seem too pleased with just sending off creations that weren’t suitable anymore, and if Meteion wasn’t approved for release to the normal world, she doubted many others created like her would’ve jumped ahead of her for approval.
“Hermes says he wouldn’t want me to be…approved? Approved.” Fhara’s ears perked up, turning back to Meteion as she seemed to respond to Fhara’s musings.
“He says it's better for me that I stay with him. And everyone else here. And I’m happy with him. I don’t want to leave.”
“Better to keep him company during his work?” Fhara suggested with a light smile. Meteion tilted her head at first, then nodded.
“He needs me. So I’ll stay.”
“That’s very nice of you. Though I can tell he cares a lot about you as well. Asking you to leave when he thought you were getting upset,” Fhara said.
Meteion’s wings drooped again.
“It’s only when Hermes gets upset, I’m upset too. I want to stay, I don’t want him to be alone. But he sends me away.”
“You’d rather stay and help him?”
Meteion nodded again.
“I don’t want him to be alone. Alone and sad. He tries to be happy when I’m near. But I can tell.'' The concern radiating from the little one was potent in Fhara’s heart, a deep ache in her chest that made her feel as though her throat was welling with emotion. She had to swallow down, as though physically stifling it before she could actually speak.
“Maybe you should tell him then? I know you said you can’t speak clearly, but you get your point across. You’re doing just fine now with me even. So if you were honest with him, maybe he would be willing to let you shoulder his burden?” Ah but then given the nature of Meteion, was it a good idea to let her take on such emotion, even if she wanted so desperately to help her master?
“Well, maybe not on your own. Does he talk to anyone else here? Not just as colleagues, but as a friend? Maybe you could convince him to talk to someone else about his problems? You would still be helping him, but you wouldn’t have to do it all by yourself. It’s not fair to do all that emotional lifting with one person.” Another curious head tilt from Meteion.
“Don’t know? He’s always official with everyone. But you could help while you’re here! Help!” Her sudden cry drew the attention of a pair of figures nearby, mumbling to each other, but upon seeing Meteion as chipper as ever and talking with Fhara, they continued on, though Fhara noted the fond smiles they had after seeing her. Meteion clearly left an impression on the facility, for all she seemed mostly glued to Hermes’ side.
“Well, I don’t know anyone here, but I’ll try. You could help me with that actually. Continue our little game from before?” The twinkle in Fhara’s eye from her suggestion was mirrored in Meteion’s.
“Yes! I’ll help! For Hermes!”
“Good,” Fhara purred, the sheer joy from the other practically uplifting her whole body, even more so as she got to her feet, feeling taller than ever, like she was about to begin floating.
“Speaking of, let’s head back now. They’ll probably be done with whatever Emet-Selch needed him for, yeah?”
They ascended to the uppermost rise of Anagnorisis, Meteion running ahead and chanting “Let’s go, let’s go!” to lead the way.

I like to imagine that Moon Keeper's eyes reflect light much like other nocturnal creatures, making them absolutely terrifying to walk in on during the night.

miqomarch day 1 — introduction
Eisha Pantera is known by many titles, but is most commonly referred to as Eorzea’s very own Warrior of Light. A Keeper of the Moon Miqo’te hailing from Limsa Lominsa, she is often found enjoying the sea air on her beachfront cottage in Limsa with her husband, G’raha Tia, and two peculiar-looking cactuar she claims to have found on the moon.
In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, reading, and seeing new sights. Rumor has it, she is planning a trip to somewhere far across the sea. Who knows what adventures await her?

Miqo'te Headcanons
i.e. all the ways my ocs regularly act like cats.
Climb things. Sit on top of bookshelves and dressers and pillars and tables.
Squeezing through tiny spaces it doesn't seem like they should be able to actually fit in.
Liquid bones. How are you even contorted like that??
Nap in a sunny spot. Nap a lot. Nap anywhere.
Cheek rubs, head bunts, touch noses, and tail-wraps to say hello to beloved friends.
Grooming. Straight up licking instead of just kissing (tho they can kiss too ofc)
Kneading with little biscuit hands.
Strong sense of smell and hearing - makes them good at recognizing people's moods & reading body language (heart rate changes, hormone levels, etc)
Walk ahead of friends and then just stop and turn around mid-stride, causing accidents.
Swat things off tables.
Scratching furniture when worked up... usually absentmindedly. (Miqo'te 'stress ball' is actually just something handheld they can drag their claws over without wrecking the furniture)
Extremely drawn to movement. High prey drive.
Play ambushing. Play fighting. Play chasing.
Investigate what friends are doing. They're in your space. They're helping. Pay attention to them.
Mirroring. They'll start imitating friends' body language so fast.
Silly eyes (even for Sun Seekers!)
Airplane ears and tail whips when grumpy.
Hair/fur fluffs up like Ghibli character when excited or scared.
Hissing, growling, purring, chirping.
Also kekekekeke'ing when there's something they want to hunt and can't reach.
Startling them might get a miqo'te stuck to your ceiling or backflipping into all your furniture.
Angry Miqo'te can intimidate and chase off much larger creatures just by fluffing up and yowling and being Big Mad.
Allowing tummy pets/rubs/touches is a BIG display of trust.
Bringing food to friends bc they looked hungry. Stealing food from friends bc it looked tasty.

Introducing my FFXIV Character
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For more information on her backstory, refer to this post!
These pics are old but here you go! She's been through a lot.
Name: Xina Modazi Race: Miqo'te, Keeper of the Moon Class: Red Mage (Main) Likes: Cactaur, tea, Fenrir (ironic isn't it), pretty women, Nanamo Ul Namo Dislikes: Estinien, having to fight Fenrir :(, the fact that Thancred gets all the pretty women Additional Notes:
Is in a polyamorous relationship with Thancred and G'raha Tia. She's okay with Thancred having relations with other women but she does get jealous. Not of the women; of him getting the women.
Since the assassination of Nanamo she has taken up Archery/Barding, Conjuring, and Lancing as well as Astrology.
Absolutely traumatized by having to fight a guy possessing Thancred's body
Also traumatized by the death of Nanamo Ul Namo
Just traumatized tm
Freezing her tail of in Ishgard.
I am at the VERY BEGINNING of Heavensward! PLEASE NO SPOILERS!

Summer healer - White Mage
For summer I wanted to focus more of foresty greens. I know most people will think of the brighter colours or even softer pastels to resemble flowers or even beachy colour schemes, but I think the bright verdant forest is still a sign of summer in its own way, though I still tried to throw in the splashes of colour is places. I was also trying to avoid going for a druid-y look as well, even if I did use the Adders magic circlet for this.
But even with the focus on forest greens, I still wanted those splashes of colour in there - turquoise blue for a bright stand out against the top, maybe even evoking a bit of the bright sky or sea like you'd get with the season, and a bit of coral pink on the shoes, a bit more subtle. But in the end, both colours fit perfectly with the pine cane's style as well, which I feel ties it all together.
The look: Serpent Elite's Circlet Bloodhempen Chestwrap of Healing - Meadow Green Ravel Keeper's Halfgloves of Healing - Adamantoise Green Varsity Skirt - Turquoise Blue Artisan's Sandals - Coral Pink
Finished with the Pine Cane
