After a quiet winter where the tired body behind this blinked and lost time, the spring menu got out on time.

Vahne, a Miqo'te woman, and Hyacinthe, a Duskwight man, stand in the kitchen of Souterrain. Hyacinthe is eating pizza, while Vahne speaks to the viewer.

Vahne Meseine:
Wild Nettle Pizza is back for spring! Along with the other stars of our spring menu.

Look at that! Got the specials up within 24 hours of the season changing. Would have even been on time but schedules, you know how they are.

I think I'd like a redo on June because it was too hasty, but here's the seasonal specials anyhow. You'll probably have to come at odd hours if you're not on Balmung but we're, as always, open all day every day.

Image is of Hyacinthe passed out in his chair and Vahne addressing the viewer, saying "He's not been getting enough sleep. Again. Let him rest. In the meantime, if you come on down you can get some Mun-Tuy lion's mane miq'abobs!"

Image is of a menu that reads:

Seasonal Specials
Crispy Fried Bat Wings with Tinolqa Popoto Spuds
Mun-Tuy Lion's Mane Miq'abobs
Nettle Risotto
Honey-battered Dandelion Fritters
Rolanberry-Basil Switchel

In truth I had the specials up on the carrd on time but I've been job-hunting and generally just fried. But still going! Still going.

Image of Hyacinthe, an Elezen from FFXIV, standing in front of a room of foliage and tables with spread hands. He is dressed in a chef's coat, his hair is pulled back in long box braids, and his skin is dark. He is saying "I know we're late, but stuff is on fire. Nonetheless, we're here! And we have rhubarb pie for spring. Come eat some."

Seasonal Specials
Pheasant Back Soup with Fiddleheads, Garlic, and Wild Rice, with or without Pigeon
Cattail And Milkweed Shoot Salad

Sometimes your head of security tells you what's what, and you're just going to listen. Happy Starlight!

Hyacinthe, an Elezen from FFXIV, looks down at Vahne while smiling. He has what appears to be a slender figure. His hair is in box braids. He is wearing a deep blue capelet over a white sweater and corset with matching blue sleeves, the capelet and sleeves each have white trim, and a gold skirt that falls below the lower edge of the image, elaborate eye makeup, and several rings. His skin is dark brown, his makeup is gold, his hair is plum with silver ends.

Vahne, a Miqo'te from FFXIV, looks up at Hyacinthe, grinning. She has a lean figure. Her hair is long, fluffy, and hangs slightly in her face, she has clan markings as well as tattoos on her face, and wears earrings and a teal top with asweetheart collar and a teal and aqua vest with gold trim, a teal ribbon belt, and a blue skirt with a blue and white apron. Her hair is pink with blue ends, her eyes are blue with dark sclera, her skin is blue-grey and her tattoos and top are teal.

The dialogue box says:

"-And then we wound up having to chase down the alpaca since I forgot to tie it up properly..."

An advertisement for Souterrain, a venue in Final Fantasy XIV, with the venue name over mushrooms. The text at the top of the image reads "Serving Gelmorran food and a warm welcome all day, every day", the text below it reads "Balmung Empyreum - Ward 16 Plot 14.
