I have coerced Y'shtola into participating this time.

//A bus driver was whistling while driving today. It was ACTUALLY melodic.

//Scouring to the very back of my mentions to dig up threads which I very likely owe. Slamming a bookmark down on each of them for both accounts 🫵 get replied to (affectionate) 😤 (if there's threads you actually enjoy continuing, please do let me know. if it's boring, also let me know. 🤣)

He considers this a moment, tilting his head with quiet thoughtfulness. "Mm. Then he was the one lacking discernment. Though I suspect you did not lose sleep over it." He offers a small smile, his expression curious rather than probing. "The steak, at least did not disappoint, I trust?"

//This thread is immaculate thank you so much for writing with me. 🥹❤️‼️ Give it a read too, if you'd like. Heart-to-heart moments are personal and profound. It's always really nice to read how each character handles it. It allows us as writers to showcase different sides of our characterisation!

//Convinced it was a duel, the adventurer in him was delighted. Then something shifted. "Oh. This man wants to unmake me specifically." The thrill severed with a snap. He didn't speak of it afterwards. He shelved it, the way he shelves all things that don't yet have the right words. 1/3

I've found a reasonable middle ground over the years! Perfectly... calibrated social awareness. ...Y'shtola looked at me once and I called her "my lady" and then tried to correct it and said "that is to say, most esteemed—" and then she tilted her head and I said "good morrow" I MUST AWAY.

How good am I at apologies? Why, I'm heartfelt and sincere about them. The issue is what happens directly before the apology. I am... still banned from demonstrating Adloquium indoors. The arcanists of Limsa will confirm this! They will also confirm several other things I'd rather they didn't.

My dear mysterious observer, you must needs allow your words to travel freely! Perceive this space as a wide canvas, and write upon its vastness withou— —Nugget, that is my quill—without thought! Begin and the rest shall foll—give it BACK—HEY ...He has absconded with my quill. The advice stands.

Aurelius: "Ah, ah, patience, patience, nearly there~ Just onnneee more line and I need my quill to be steady!" Casra: "Recueil. There is an entire wall two fulms behind you..." Aurelius: "You're closer!" #FFXIV | #VerdantQuill | #Elezen

Introducing Ink, the voidsent who has been residing inside Aurelius since he was little. Impeccable threat assessment, surgically efficient, ...and absolutely no interest in whether this is an appropriate time. Aurelius is managing. #FFXIV | #Elezen | #aurelius_lore

This is: “What if the voice in your head was real, correct, and had absolutely no stake in your moral comfort?” And Aurelius still goes, “Thank you, noted. We will not be doing that. 🙂”

Born from Mhachi tomes, Ink is a fragment of the void stained within dusty pages. Aurelius cleaves decay so that life might continue, only to return to the fool who believes kindness outlasts ruin. A scholar dreams of dawns. A reaper’s arm ensures they come to pass. #FFXIV | #aurelius_lore

The First has left me a tad... apprehensive about the idea of letting Nugget through that void gate. After what happened to Y'shtola's familiar, that kind of aetheric strain is— [A shifting of metal as a scythe is lifted.] Ah—well. I suppose I'll be making use of this.

Aether given fur, mischief given glow, and my heart given entirely to this wee, wiggling sunbeam! (Yes, I am reposting this. No, I shan’t apologize. Look at him. PRAY, PERCEIVE~)

//took a bit of scouring, but these random text posts made me think of Aurelius!

I once forgot my soul crystal in a tavern in Limsa and had to ask a barmaid if she'd seen a glowing rock. Legends don't do that. It is an honour, yet, I'd rather someone sit with me over tea and tell me an awful joke than kneel. Pedestals are lonely and I'm told the view isn't worth the vertigo.

Do you ever feel as though something inside you has shifted, but nothing outward has changed? Like furniture rearranged in a room you can't enter? ...No? Splendid, just me then! Carry on.

Yawn.... I fell asleep in the Noumenon again. Woke up to a librarian placing a blanket over me and another placing a late return notice on my chest. Sharlayan hospitality is beautifully passive-aggressive.

Ah, there you are. I tried the door first, for the record! #FFXIV | #GPOSERS | #Elezen | #Meteor ((😂😂💀))

Meteor I have made a DISCOVERY-- well, two discoveries. The first is that the Leveilleur estate windows are surprisingly climbable. The second was — hold on, it'll come back to me. Something about... aetherytes. Tataru's latest business venture? No... ...Meteor, I think gravity is winning.

This was the first thing I saw when I opened the app and I nearly spit out my drink 😂😂😂😂 Aurelius I love you, never change.

I have just discovered that if you hum whilst casting Adloquium, the shield manifests in a slightly different hue. This has no practical application whatsoever and I am DELIGHTED #recueil_rambles

// the muse has seized me by the collar and he has decided I must write or perish. you have been warned.

I brought Casra a rare medicinal herb from Il Mheg. He told me it was a weed. A WEED. I crossed the rift between worlds for a weed. #recueil_rambles

"—and the fungi, you see, had arranged themselves in a perfect logarithmic spiral along the trunk! Nature's—" The words trail off somewhere behind his teeth. "...Ah, but I digress! Forgive the tangent—you were saying?" His smile doesn't falter. His hand drifts to Nugget's head. #ICReflection

[Aurelius is on his hands and knees, half-hidden behind a stack of chairs, one arm stretched out.] Nugget, where did you— [His sentence is abruptly accompanied by a rather painful /THUNK/ as the top of his head connects solidly with the underside of the desk.]

"High standards, indeed. But tell me, if one's suitor fails to appreciate the artistry of a properly seared behemoth steak, are they even worthy of the occasion~?"

Just witnessed two first-years attempt to navigate the east wing corridors. They have now circled the vending machine three times! I wonder where they're trying to go. ...I feel like I should say something.

- A tiny hamster called Nugget now resides in his blazer pocket. - Raises his hand to answer and then gets distracted by his own tangent mid-sentence. - Cheers for you at sports day like it’s a heroic last stand. - Essays are devastatingly well-written and submitted at 4 am.

#ffxivacademy | #aurelius_lore - Year 3 - Staff have given up on asking how Aurelius is in classes he’s not enrolled in. They moved from "Who are you?" to "Aurelius, since you're already here, can you do the handouts?" - Attendance mysteriously spikes whenever he’s scheduled to present. +

How you wound me! Alas, I walked into that. The Carbuncle's feelings on the matter have been made abundantly clear, I assure you. [He taps a finger to his chin.] I believe I am currently ranked somewhere...hm, yes... below the Thavnairian dock in their esteem.

Ahaha! Not my proudest moment as a scholar, warrior, or person of reasonable spatial awareness. ...The scythe is fine. Nugget has not looked at me since.

//I think the fatigue has finally left me for the most part 😂 on the mend from this pesky pizza induced cold (LMAO.) I logged on today and saw so much talk about a gakuen AU! THAT IS FANTASTIC.

//Sorry for the absence! IRL ramped up again, but I will notify you when I'm back to writing. Haven't abandoned threads on either muse, promise 💙 On a lighter note. This article. 😂😂 ...REMEMBER LOUISOIX' PORTRAIT...? 😭

I drew my FFXIV OCs in chibi style! ❤️ Aurelius Recueil 📖 Casra de Cielvert 🩺 #VerdantQuill | #FFXIV | #Elezen | #FFXIVART | #artistdaura | #chibiart

*ahem* Here we have: • Casra de Cielvert, the voice of blunt reason • my WoL, Aurelius Recueil being 'chaotic/problematic' • Windaura Skai being gentle, and • Yeletelle de Cielvert (Casra's sister) fitting in two categories #FFXIV | #aurelius_lore | #casra_lore | #yeletelle_lore | #windaura_lore

First up, FC member Aria Hiragi! Miqo'te girls are really pretty~ More portraits to come 😄 #FFXIVART | #artcommissions | #artistdaura | #Miqo'te | #FF14

📚 Aurelius likes physical touch. Affection wasn't abundant growing up; a hand on someone's shoulder and leaning into a hug, to him, are simply other ways to show warmth. Life often takes enough already, so he sees no reason to hold kindness back. #aurelius_lore
