[She will purchase the Thancred automaton if he will buy the Minfilia one...
Though she will bring that up later, as she can tell he is at least attempting to reach out. The least she could do (mainly for Urianger's sake) is try to respect that.]
They are a resilient people. [She admits with a sigh, looking up to the fireworks. For a moment she could almost imagine seeing them through a telescope. May as well let the diplomat speak before she dare let slip her own feelings on this.]
no subject
... at least she isn't snapping yet. And she's agreeing, even. Alphinaud is silent for a moment, watching the fireworks in turn, waiting in order to give a bit of time for thoughts to collect before proceeding.]
Terribly so. And stubborn, at that. Though I'm sure you've likely noticed from our adventurer friend. [He pauses, drumming his fingertips against the rail.] I've begun to see why our grandfather loved them so.
no subject
You know of our ventures, then? [It was more a statement than a question, but she would pose it as such all the same.] It is not hard to see why, brother. As you so put it before, t'is all but plain in our mutual adventurer friend.
no subject
I do speak with Urianger on a semi-frequent basis. [He coughs lightly - clearing his throat, of course. He certainly isn't keeping track of his sister's ventures, nor is he becoming attached to the adventurers here. Absolutely not.] Our friend is a special case, indeed.
no subject
maybe it just had to become an astral era for them to agree on somethingShe does raise an eyebrow at that, a bit silently amused at his attempt to hide... was that a bit of sentiment? Oh brother, he never changes. ]Of course. As do I, obviously. [Casually asking of his welfare? Absolutely not.] You do not hide your feelings as well as you perceive, if you were curious.
[You liiiike them.]
no subject
Of course. He relays how you are faring from time to time. [Not at his request. Not at all.] ... I have no idea what you are talking about, sister.
[He does noooot.
Maybe a little.]no subject
You hath stated it yourself, brother: you've begun to see why grandfather loved them so. I can only assume it was from time spent with our adventurer friend.
[Add to that the fact that someone did not refer to them as a servant in polite discussion...]
no subject
You assume much. It is only from observation, I assure you.
[So what if he doesn't consider them servants? He doesn't consider the other Scions servants either. It's that the adventurer is also a Scion, that's all.]
no subject
I but jest. [She waves off her smirk with a gesture of the hand.] Though when our fellow traveler expressed that you had a new outlook upon the realm, I can only think to credit their influence as a stalwart ally to bring about this development.
[Much like they had assisted her.]
no subject
... perhaps. Had our friend not been discovered, it is possible I would not have seen near as much of Eorzea as I have.
[Alphinaud pauses, then clears his throat again, looking off toward the fireworks once more.]
Regardless, I am pleased to hear of your progress. Even if yours is a far more daunting task than mine.
[Diplomat is, by and far, a much safer position than dungeon delver. He has heard the tales of what lie awaiting below.]
no subject
Never. She was about to say something witty in retort, however the prompt divergence of the topic at hand gave her a moment of pause.]... Nor would mine own task proven nearly as fruitful.
[She glances away, focusing her attentions on the brilliant display above. The symbol of Dalamud in the center a rather more hefty reminder of that which was still left to go.]
Say what you will of how perilous a task it might be. We both know you were much better suited for diplomacy than I.
[Of which she does not envy him in the slightest, with how not just Ul'dah in political turmoil, but whispers from Coerthas were also coming in an increasing number as well.]
no subject
You may not be suited for diplomacy, sister, but you are going about it in your own way nonetheless. I cannot say I envy your task, but you are strong enough for it. I fear I would not have the same successes.
[Diplomacy itself is stressful enough. There are never two happy parties at the beginning of diplomatic discussions. It is a small wonder that fighting hasn't broken out before now, in some cases.]
... Ul'dah, especially, is a nightmare I wish not to repeat.
no subject
[Which may be as sincere a gesture of faith she will be likely to share after their previous discussion.]
T'is but a small wonder that the disagreements have yet to cause even greater outbursts, no doubt due to the infrastructure of their society.
[A pause.]
Urianger mentioned the riot. It is good to see you hale and healthy.
no subject
I cannot blame the Ala Mhigans for feeling the way that they do. Being denied solace and basic comforts would be enough to dampen anyone's spirits, at the very least. But there are those that would seek to not only profit from this, but ignite the spark that lay dormant and smoldering for so long...
[The mention of the riots makes Alphinaud pause as well, eyes glancing away. Surely that hadn't been a note of concern?]
... I was injured, but I am no less deterred for it. I recovered quickly.
