I Am Thou

[vieraofinaba]

It had been some time since Yua's adventure into the First, now with the land trying to find a way to rebuild after the return of the night sky. Perhaps it was because of it, she has a new appreciation of the beauty of the stars, the color of the skies when the light vanishes for the time. And Yua has been wandering more around Eorzea during the night taking in the sights.

It's when she is around Mor Dhona that during one of her trips, there is something that catches her eye: a very large tentacled creature slithering around like a serpent with a gaping jaw.

"That's odd, I haven't heard of a Hunt Mark like that one-" She stops in mid sentence because the voidsent doesn't even bother to take notice of her but rather a figure lying on the ground. She can't tell who it is from where she is standing but that does not mean the viera woman will simply stand there. Unhooking her chakrams from her belt, she dashes forward and throws them at the monster's eyes.

"Hey Ugly! Over here!"

Yua couldn't think of a snappier comeback, there's more important things like making sure that guy who is lying there doesn't get hurt.

"Who on earth would even be out here around something like this?"

As soon as she thinks that, he finds the frog head.

And towards the (unlit) fireplace does the frog head and suit go.

"Frog. Really? Not even those talking catfish?"

[vieraofinaba]

Well, thankfully the fireplace wasn't lit.

"Actually," Yua finally speaks up. "I do own a Namazu head and it would be hard to tell the two apart."

It's actually on the top of her wardrobe. Always watching.

[angeloftruth]

The only reason he doesn't jump is because his head was in the wardrobe and that would have hurt. Still, he's obviously startled.

"Is that what they're called?"

[vieraofinaba]

Oops.

"Yes yes." She replies with a chuckle. "They try their best despite being rather dimwitted at times but I can't help but admire them for being determined." Yua is not sorry for that line at all, she will go to bat for those dumb catfish. But she's taking note of how invested he is looking in the wardrobe, so far so good.

"What do you think?"

[angeloftruth]

"Some of this had to be expensive to order. Who bought it all?"

[vieraofinaba]

"Only if you don't know where to look and you are unable to make it." She can't help but grin.

"Thankfully, I can."

[angeloftruth]

Emet pauses and steps out of the wardrobe to stare at Yua.

"You made all of this?"

[vieraofinaba]

Yua simply nods. "That I did. I figured that you needed more than that ratty robe since you're going to be here for awhile. That and it's the best way to blend in around here."

Okay, she probably went over and beyond for this but honestly, she really couldn't simply buy things when she was so used to making them.

[angeloftruth]

Another Look.

"So you made me an entire wardrobe? There are winter coats in here, Yua."

[vieraofinaba]

"I like to be prepared-" She begins but then stops and widens her eyes.

"You...you just used my name..."

[angeloftruth]

"Yes, and? Is that a problem? I can go back to using hero or other such terms."

[vieraofinaba]

"No, not at all! It's just...that's the first time you used my name. It feels rather nice."

[angeloftruth]

Nice?

"Yes, well, since you've yet to settle on a title and "hero" gets boring I have to call you something," he points out, oddly embarrassed.

[vieraofinaba]

"To be honest, I don't like using my title because it just feels too easy to get things." Now to someone normal, this might be weird but Yua has always been a little different from others.

"So Yua works fine. I appreciate it." She would ask if calling him by his real name would help but that may be awkward.

[angeloftruth]

"Hm." Alright then. Back to clothes inspecting. "A question, however. How did you get my sizes?"

[vieraofinaba]

That earns a bit of nervous laughter, scratching her cheek. "Well, that was the hard part. I had been planning to ask whenever I had a free moment but everytime I did, you were fast asleep. Like clockwork or something. And I had to...improvise..."

Are words needed?

"Honestly you are a really heavy sleeper."

[angeloftruth]

A long, long moment of dead silence.

"And you didn't think to leave a note asking for a tailoring session...why?"

[vieraofinaba]

"Would you have agreed?"

In hindsight...probably the best choice but Yua sometimes doesn't think of those until it was too late.

"But I did have supervision! Rhel was here with me and brought some mammets along."

[angeloftruth]

"Likely, yes." A beat. "And if you think telling me that terror of a black mage was here as 'supervision' will make me feel better, then I have some unfortunate news for you."

[vieraofinaba]

"If it helps, all she did was snark and sip tea. The mammets did a good portion of work."

[angeloftruth]

"Mammets that she no doubt had made to record that sort of information," he grumbles. "She's terrible, Yua. You can do better."

[vieraofinaba]

"...what kind of information would she get from your measurements?"

[angeloftruth]

"Is the art of creating properly sized mammets to jinx and curse lost in this age?"

[vieraofinaba]

"If you mean curses as in the not so polite way then those exist. But then again, Sharlyans and Allagans."

[angeloftruth]

"No, I mean in the "painful magical" variety. What do Sharlyans have to do with anything?"
