Comic from 2024. Featuring my WoL, Elodie Aurifort, Estinien Varlineau, & Alphinaud Leveilleur from Final Fantasy XIV. Set sometime after the The Sorrow of Werlyt Questline, during 5.5 (around the "For Vengeance" Quest?) in Shadowbringers. (Light Baelfort vibes)
PAGE 1 -[PANEL 1]
We see the trio of Elodie, Estinien and Alphinaud walking in Azys Lla to their next destination.
"I heard from Severa that you have a habit of visiting Terncliff..." Estinien breaks the awkward silence that hangs in the air, "A LOT."
[PANEL 2]
"Is there a point in bringing up my traveling history?" Elodie snorts, well aware that her fellow Dragoon is attempting to make conversation.
[PANEL 3]
"Yeah," Estinien pauses, growing tired of the small talk, he cuts straight to the point, "When are you going o seal the deal & bed the Black Wolf?"
[PANEL 4]
Elodie immediately takes a guarded stance, her face turning bright red. The nerve of this guy!!
"H-HOW DID-!"
[PANEL 5]
"I DO NOT appreciate my 'potential candidates' being the topic of casual gossip!" Elodie stomps towards him with her finger pointed. Her face still bright red; whether it be from anger or embarrassment, it is difficult to say, "It's not for discussion, I FORBID IT!"
[PANEL 6]
"I hardly think your discontent is going to stop the whispering of a seaside town anytime they notice the Warrior of Light skipping to Gaius Baelsar like a lovestruck schoolgirl," Estinien smuggly remarks, unbothered.
PAGE 2 -[PANEL 7]
Elodie stands speechless hearing the statement that Estinien so poignantly threw at her. HOW DARE--
[PANEL 8]
No. He's right. She hates to admit it, the mere thought of him being right vexes her.
[PANEL 9]
"Point taken, FINE," Elodie begrudgingly reestablishes eye contact with Estinien, "I'll be more discret during my visits to Terncliff..."
[PANEL 10]
"That's not the point I'm trying to-"
"!!" Elodie looks past Estinien and notices Alphinaud awkwardly standing serval paces back, "ESTINIEN!"
[PANEL 11]
"This is hardly an appropriate topic considering the third individual of this trio," Elodie politely reminds him.
[PANEL 12]
Estinien turns around and noticing Aplhinuad, "Ahh..."
The young elezen jumps noticing that his two chaperones have shifted their attention to him.
[PANEL 13]
"Aplhinuad, sweetie," Elodie switches to a sweet, nuturing tone, "Pretend you didn't hear those last few sentences & cover your ears while we wrap up this adult conversation. Please?"
