[ The video is just a dark-haired catgirl with her face against her hand. People might recognize her as a miqo'te if they're familiar with them! She's addressing the device while a little duck and dragonet play on the desk near a pile of colorful strings by her side. Some freshly cut flowers are stacked behind them, too. ]

Had enough craziness this moon. Adventuring here doesn't really have the same spark as what we'd do back home, though... and there's been a few folk heading that way, it seems. At least I'd hope.

[ Seeing friends leave is always sad. She just hopes they're safe! ]

Name's Megumi, Matriarch of the Utakata Tribe. Got a request for you lot.

[ Her ears flick, as she continues: ]

What sorts of adventures did you lot have, anyroad? Got a few bells before I'm off duty, and I like to write about them. Tell me about them, even the most mundane. Maybe a chocobo chased you around, or you tried to eat a moogle's pom. Something or the other.

[ She holds up a pattern by the strings, a chocobo and mog pattern (smaller and cuter designs though!) before setting it down. ]

That's what those are. Anyroad, there's a charm in it for you, as thanks. Or a potion. Wasn't much of a magical person outside of my healing, but I'm missing what I used to be able to do all the same. Somehow controlling plants just feels rude at times.

[ She twirls a string bracelet on a finger, from the pile she has on her desk. ]

Tell me a story then, aye? You can say the accessories bring good luck. Made by a Radiant Matriarch and all. That would be me, by the way. Don't forget it.

[ And she winks, before she ends her side to see what she'll get! ]

He tried, and then I stupidly shooed him away.

[There is only the smallest hint of sadness behind that. If she listens hard enough she might be able to hear it.]

He took me to a waterfall that day too, and bungee jumping. He did it under the guise of making me relax a little more.

[menphina]

[ She can tell by now. She knows he's regretting not spending as much time with him when he could. ]

You made good memories. That's the important part. And those memories turn into good stories, aye?

[ She smiles warmly. ]

How've you been feeling? Aside from absolutely lovely because the Radiant Matriarch is looking after you, of course.

[ She's not pushing him to express himself yet. ]

[zazen]

[He could try and play off how he’s feeling, he doesn’t really want to bother Megumi with this. ]

Working and quests have been busy lately.

[ Though, he might be fibbing about quests. He hasn’t gone on one since he nearly died. Working though, he’s been working a healthy amount.]

[menphina]

You've been working more than questing, love. And why do you think that's going to work on me?

[ They've been together how long? ]

Stop hiding when you're sad. Especially with me. It's not going to work. I'm here to comfort you, remember?

[zazen]

[Well, he figured that this wasn't going to work for her. So, yeah. He sighs.]

Can we talk about this when you are in front of me, my love?

[She knows how to get to him so well.]

[menphina]

Give me a moment to clean up, and I'll meet you in the living room, aye?

[ He has no escape now!! ! ]
