He withdrew his hand and smiled warmly. "Yes, of course! To behold Ishgard proper and walk in your footsteps..." His eyes lit up with excitement as his tail swished from side to side. "I would truly have it no other way!"

"Of course, Asir," he whispered. "I...I would wish for nothing more."

"Ah! I--wh-what I mean is--tha-that is--" His blush only grew as she approached him. He quickly adverted his gaze and fidgeted with his gloves. "I-I, umm..." His tail nervously swayed from side to side as he struggled over how to answer.

((My depression has taken over for the moment. If you see me posting things on my main account, I promise it's not because I'm ignoring things here. I just don't have the right mindset to rp during these moments. I'll reply as soon as there's a break in the storm, so to speak.))

G'raha's ears wiggled in amusement as his grin only widened before his expression softened. "Forgive me. It was never my intent to trouble you. I know the gamble I took was reckless." Really, much of what he had done had been reckless. He was immensely lucky things turned out as well as they had.

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

His expression softened as he stepped forward and hesitated before raising a hand to gently place on her arm. "I understand, truly. Naught would please me more than to try your food, Asir. You've no cause for worry."

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

He hesitated before shutting his eyes as well and leaning into her. His arms tightened slightly around her as he sighed contently.

developments, especially the slow progress we've made in solving them. Even so, I know we'll see it through, as we always do." He glanced back at her as his expression softened. "But enough of my grumbling. How have you been?"

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

The moment G'raha heard his name, his ears twitched in the direction of her voice before he turned to face her with a gentle smile. He walked over as he replied, "Well enough; though..." His smile faded away as he crossed his arms and looked away. "I must admit I find myself rather irked by present

He briefly fidgeted with his hands before focusing is gaze back on her. He cleared his throat as he attempted to regain his composure. "Going out would be the sa--more beneficial of the two options. You might clear your head whilst still seeking out inspiration."

"I daresay Urianger and Tataru both would be troubled by even such a trifling hindrance, yet I cannot help but feel compelled to join." His eyes glimmered with mischief for a moment before he added with a smile, "However, might I suggest steering clear of Tataru? I suspect invoking her ire would

His eyes grew wide. "Y-your apartment?!" He quickly cleared his throat as he fidgeted with his glove's straps. "I...I would be delighted to accompany you and partake of your cooking." He released a breath to calm himself before raising his gaze and warmly smiling."I look forward to the meal ahead."

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

And he was bright red all over again. "I-I missed you as well, Asir." His tail slowly swayed from side to side as he shyly averted his gaze.

((I'll try to reply soonish. The last few days have just...sucked, so I'm not in the right headspace. I'm very sorry.))

((Oh, I totally get that! I only finished culinarian and carpenter when it was just the moon ones before my attention went elsewhere. I have the attention NOW, just not the mental energy at the moment, I guess.))

((I am zoning out so badly right now. *keeps clicking the wrong macros for crafting ~_~* I'm probably done replying for today. Will resume tomorrow unless the zoning outness stops later.))

He bashfully glanced away. "Ah, well, there are still so many foods I've yet to try. It's rather difficult to choose," he confessed as his fingers twitched slightly against hers. Though he wasn't in any hurry to release her hand, he reluctantly did so nonetheless.

G'raha hesitated for just a moment before stepping closer and raising his hands. "If I may, a massage might offer a measure of relief." He looked away, his ears flattening as a blush spread across his cheeks. "A-as for my being here...now that matters are settled, I had thought to invite you for an

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

His smile turned sheepish for just a moment before his brows briefly drew together in thought. "A...a spot of trouble you say?" He gave his brother a smirk as his ears twitched in amusement. "Dare I ask what that might involve?"

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

G'raha opened his mouth to defend himself only to close it as she spoke of her family. His brows drew together with worry as he glanced back at her, his blush beginning to fade. "Is something amiss?" he gently inquired.

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Sighing in mounting frustration with the situation, G'raha stood up and walked out from the Backroom to wander the city. Maybe some time away from the data logs he had been looking over would do him some good...

patience. If that wasn't enough, the city's people's reliance on the Regulators was proving to be a hindrance in helping them to accept the past and move on rather than hide from it; an issue that was further complicated by the fact they now no longer recalled Sphene was supposed to be DEAD.

@spaceprincessy.bsky.social ((Takes place between 7.1-7.2)) With Sphene seemingly alive and well, G'raha had been keeping himself busy with trying to find what information he could on the queen's survival...or revival, but each step in doing so was largely proving to be nothing but a test of

"Ah, no, I'm not--tha-that is...!" His ears flattened. "I-I've nothing at present that warrants my attention." G'raha glanced back at her before hesitantly raising a hand to accept hers. His tail gave a slight flick.

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

"I...I suppose that is true enough," he conceded. He also hadn't stopped blushing. It was a miracle he wasn't as red as his hair is. His eyes slowly opened to look at her for a moment before he forced himself to look elsewhere. "S-so tell me, my fri-friend. Wh-what have you been u-up to, of late?"

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

His eyes widened before he looked away with embarrassment. "Ah. About that..." He fidgeted with his hands. "I suspect I would be more hindrance than aid in a hunt. It has been far too many years since I last wielded a bow, and I have yet to reacquaint myself with it." After a pause, he raised his

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

He glanced back at her and lowered his hands as a warm smile spread across his lips. "To reflect on what has come before is ever a sure means of seeking inspiration. There is always much to be gleaned from our forebears." His smile soon turned wry. "Nonetheless, names do not always live up to

((Replies will be slow/sporadic for a bit because of the recent patch. I am very, very bad at multitasking. I will, of course, do my best. Just giving a head's up! Promise I'm not ignoring anyone nor have I lost interest. <3))

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

His arms tightened around her for just a moment before loosening just slightly but not enough to let her go. He doesn't say anything for a while before finally saying, "My...my apologies. Surely you have other matters to attend to."

120

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

"If you are certain." He gave his brother a worried expression before his features softened and a smile reached his lips. "I am quite well. While I did experience a measure of stiffness and soreness, all appears to be in order now."

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

[Still very much blushing, he fidgets with his hands and gives a nod.] I--l-lunch would be exquisite. [His tail gives a nervous twitch.]

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

His eyes widen in a panic. "Ah! No! That won't be--" His arms quickly and tightly circle around her. He squeezes his eyes shut. "J-just...a bit longer, if you would," he says in a softer voice.

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

[His arms loosen from around her as she backs away. He raises a hand to scratch his cheek and looks away shyly.] I...I missed you as well.

110

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

He didn't respond immediately as he simply stared at her. His hands twitched at his sides before curling into fists. He bowed his head. "O-of course. I-I... That is... Wh-whatever brings you c-comfort."

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

His eyes widened for a moment before he smiled. "Pray, forgive me. I did not mean to startle you." His smile vanished as he thought over her dilemma. He placed a hand on his hip while the other raised to his chin. "Dinner date with dancing but still playful and Othardian..." He began pacing back

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

He glanced at him sympathetically. "All things improve with time. Surely the same may be said of your predicament; however, I do understand the sentiment." After a moment, he added, "But should it trouble you so, mayhap a chrigeon visit might put you at ease?"

G'raha Tia @upontheeternalwind.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

[His eyes widen as his ears and tail both shoot up. He blushes before hesitantly returning the hug.] I-I... For-forgive me. I've been rather busy, but I am here now.

He turns very red very fast as his eyes widen. "A-Asir! Wha-what are you...?!"
