About his trade... and other things

[swordtouch]

Mundane, I am not quite certain how I feel about this. While not a lie, 'tis a bit strange that you would tell others (that you have forced me to interact with) I am a weaponsmith by trade. And Twelve forgive me if I am mistaken, but I believe that C'kayah knows better. He has already suspected that there is much more than I am willing to share by way of my mannerisms... I... am aware that I can become transpar---

No, we will cease speaking of that now...

Anyroad, I've a question... Though in truth, 'tis not a question but an observation. Is there something you are not telling me..? In the past few nights, you've somehow forced me to interact with others... in particular, Miqo'te. Of course, there is nothing wrong in interacting with Miqo'te themselves as I've found that... they can be very kind people. But I must question your motives, Mundane. With absolute certainty, you know what they are...

Finally, no... I am not going to try to find a way to smith an axe that can sing songs...

[Headtilt!]

What are we..?

[swordtouch]

I... beg your pardon..?

[So unsure of the context of the question.]

[livedieknow]

Your mundane appears to believe we miqo'te are something?

[It's not a loaded question, and the look of curiosity on his face should (hopefully!) indicate that.]

[swordtouch]

[Ohhh! That. Well...]

No no... I was speaking of my mundane's motives... With Miqo'te, anyway...

[By the Twelve, he's embarrassed.]

[livedieknow]

Um..

[What does he-

Oh. OH. that.]

...!

2/2

[livedieknow]

...I see.

Um...

I hope you find someone, if that sort of thing would make you--

[Eeeesh. books are way better than physical contact okay he can lend you some seriously just try]

--happy. Yes, happy.

[swordtouch]

[A sigh here. Garrett really is embarrassed talking about this... especially with a Miqo'te considering the circumstances...]

I... would prefer that he did not do this in the first place...

[livedieknow]

[Perhaps that went over wrong. It wasn't exactly interracial... cooperative sexytiemz which surprised him, especially since it seems 70% of dancing girls are miqo'te and 90% of gawpers are roegadyn. And mixed couples really aren't that big of a deal in Eorzea. Of course not. More... well, isn't a subject of choice the kind of thing something which should be up to Garrett?]

...
well, if you want to do that sort of thing, it is really none but yours, and the other person's business. No-one can tell you who or who not to... show interest in. If you even want to show interest in anyone at all.

[swordtouch]

I'm...

[Twelve help him, how is he even supposed to talk about this...]

I've... no intention of courting anyone in the first place... Be it Hyur, Miqo'te, or otherwise...

[livedieknow]

[Oh! well, have a smile!]

For a moment, I had envisioned you with screaming children, and a harpy of a wife settling down in somewhere like Horizon, petitioning adventurers to kill piestes for you, as you could not leave your children or aforementioned wife to do so yourself.

[A small laugh! Very small. and a laugh is a rare thing from him; very rare indeed. But it's warranted. It is an amusing thought, after all.]

Exploring dungeons and learning of the world is a much better option. For now, anyway.

[swordtouch]

For now, mayhap... I've much travelling and work to do yet.

[Yeah, Garrett likes that idea a lot better.]

[livedieknow]

[Adventuring! The very best way to either find one's place in the world... Or run away from it. The very best!]

...It is none of my business..
... But do not allow your mundane to push you around. Your decisions are your own; and while... even with our ways considered you would likely make a good mate, giving up everything and settling down has to be your decision. Otherwise you will end up unhappy.

[earlylight]

An axe that can sing songs? That sounds lovely.

[swordtouch]

Lovely as it may sound, I've naught the methods to smith such an axe...

[earlylight]

Axes are usually used to chop trees down, right? I think the trees would prefer a song to being chopped!

[swordtouch]

[A small nod.]

Yes... I can smith both botany axes as well as battle axes...

[sunfae]

Tsk, tsk.

[ A slight smirk graced the scholar's lips as he eyed the blond. ]

Aren't you a strange fellow! What's all this babble about singing axes and your strange but humorous fear of Miqo'tes?

[swordtouch]

[Have this :\ look from the blond gladiator.]

'Tis not a fear of them, but more of a fear of what my mundane would like to have me do with them...

[sunfae]

Is that right?

[ Elarian cannot help but smirk at the poor man now. ]

Chasing tail is one thing but having a fetish for all things furry is another. I don't know whether to laugh or pity you. I suspect your mundane will have you lusting after one of those felines soon enough.

[swordtouch]

[Garrett just sighs.]

Do what you must...

[sunfae]

Come now! You're no fun.

[ Oh, stop making him feel bad for teasing you. It's not often he finds someone a little worse off than him. ]

Tell me, does this furry love interest have a name?

[swordtouch]

[Garrett turns to the side for a moment, then looks up a bit.]

No... No such Miqo'te exists... Yet... as my mundane says...

[sunfae]

Oh?

[ The scholar tilts his head in a curious manner. ]

You mean to state that your mundane is lusting for a fictional furry-eared love interest and not an actual person?

[ He gives that some thought and shakes his head. ]

Well I suppose that's harmless.

[swordtouch]

Yes... For me...

And I am protesting, which I am sure you can see...

[He puts a gloved hand on his forehead.]

[sunfae]

Why protest so much against what doesn't even exist? I do believe you're just fussing at this point.

[ He smiles somewhat. ]

Focus on something more productive than your needless worries. Focus on taming that swordarm of yours.

[swordtouch]

My sword arm is tamed just fine...

[He looks down to the ground a bit...]

Is this not almost akin to your frustration over your mundane contemplating on altering your handsome form in such a way...? As you have previously expressed it...

[He looks back up to Elarian with a blank expression, but concern can be noted.]

[sunfae]

[ A sigh escaped him. This awkward fellow somewhat reminds him of Mir. ]

Yes, yes! I remember that day when I vented all kinds of frustration over that nagging harpy of mine.

[ He huffs. ]

I suppose you have a point. Though, fussing doesn't change much sometimes--unless you threat bodily harm.

[ This is why he still is "male" and not sporting cat ears. ]

[unyieldingspirit]

Delightful? Charming? A blessing to all who meet them?

[wink! she's teasing, honestly.]

But that would certainly be something to see. How much weight could it hold against a foe, though?

[swordtouch]

That... may be true... Though, I speak of my mundane's... intentions with them...

[Gloved hand moves to his face.]

I've... not considered it. Mayhap if I come across C'kayah again, I would inquire about it.

[unyieldingspirit]

Ah. Are they being acted upon?

Even if you don't make it in the end, it's an important consideration. You should know these things! [she tilts her head back a little, fingers touched against her chin.]
