Here we go XD

[conjurerofuldah]

[ As soon as Amelia got home, she'd gone straight to Ul'dah to check up on her father, who'd told her to go check in with the Sultana as soon as she could. So that's where she was now, awaiting Nanamo's arrival and trying not to fidget. You'd think after all this time, she'd be more comfortable talking to important people, but nope. ]

[seasoflight]

"And here, I thought you were 'always watching' from the shadows, and all that..." Felih hums as he crouches down, in that Miqo'te manner, a finger poking idly at the napping body he sees. The logical thing to do upon seeing Emet-Selch's physical form again would be to alert his companions, but it's far more fun just to pester the man. Ascian or no, the man has kept to his word about staying out of the way...

And there haven't been that many signs of hostility yet, so he may as well take advantage of the man's... companionship? Presence? To ask the endless font of questions he's had for far too long.

"I suppose I should be glad you sleep. It means some time is kept to myself, dalliances free from prying eyes."

His brings around his long, fluffy tail to poke at Emet-Selch's cheek with the tip of it, as if to tickle him awake.

[poisontippedcure]

I didn’t, no. But I also didn’t want him shot, nor did I want you to kidnap and torture him.

[If she were not a holy woman, she’d probably be strangling Emet about now.]

What is wrong with you?

[angeloftruth]

The man can sleep through Elidibus's speeches, Felih. A tail won't do much.

A tail and a voice, however, might do it. He starts to stir, frowning and batting away the tail.

[angeloftruth]

[He shrugs.]

A lot of things, by your standards. I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific.

[seasoflight]

Felih can't help but grin. Oh? The Ascian is a heavy sleeper? He would've never guessed, and he keeps tickling at him with his tail and can't help the laugh.

"Well, this is certainly unexpected, dear companion. Mayhaps simply tagalong?" he keeps teasing, hoping to wake the man up and simply catch him off-guard. Strange, Felih thinks, that an Ascian would simply... nap out in the open, unguarded, like this. What a confident bastard...

[angeloftruth]

The laugh is what gets him, frowning and nose twitching and trying to to sneeze. Last he checked, he was only so much aether floating about in the world barely aware of anything, so why the hells...

Oh. As the world comes into focus he can't help but sigh at his tormentor. "Must you?"

LV 71 SPOILERS, between-the-scenes

[meteorum]

[it's been a day since the source's champion brought the starry night back to the skies above the crystarium and surrounding areas; the city is still abuzz with activity. it's raining at the moment, something which the city's children look upon with wonder and delight. the stars were one thing, but clouds thick enough to stifle the sun are quite another, and children are splashing puddles at each other in the streets. even those adults who might have lived long enough to see a rare sun-shower often stop in the streets just to admire the bounty of the grey storm overhead.

there are, of course, a thousand and one reasons the crystal exarch might seek out his warrior of darkness in this kind of weather. fortunately, with directions from the ever-helpful populace, aster isn't hard to find. he's beneath the canopy of the crystalline mean, where katliss makes her office, and for no particular reason at all, he's examining the baskets of fruit she keeps behind her desk. apples. oranges. he takes an apple in his hands, hefts it in his palm. it's not too heavy.

at the exarch's approach, he turns and nods his head.]

Here. [he throws it at the exarch without warning —] Catch.

[poisontippedcure]

[And that’s it, she’s losing it.]

You bloody well know what I mean! Do you get off on making other people’s lives miserable, or am I the only one who’s so lucky?

[angeloftruth]

[A sigh.]

If I knew what you meant, I wouldn't have asked. I'm not like your people, asking questions when you know the answer full well.

[Honestly.]

And no, I don't. That was always Lahabrea.

[seasoflight]

"Absolutely," is Felih's grinning, delighted response, a purr now rumbling in his chest while he crouches beside him.

"After all, this is a rare opportunity. A sleeping Ascian, unguarded, out in the open? Clearly, the best chance to answer the age-old question: do immortals get ticklish?" Felih's an oversized kitten sometimes, with his playfulness getting ahead of his sense.

He does hum, however, looking at the man curiously. "I hadn't even figured you would need to sleep."
