It was a rather rustic Inn Astrant had chosen for his and Rina’s.. eh...meeting? Astrant wasn’t sure himself what this was. Was this some kind of date? Or just the woman being nice to him? Normally, no one offered him a to have a drink together, unless they wanted to talk about something or what ever. Astrant had seated himself directly at the bar, wearing a hood over his head to cover his pointy ears. The Elezen was a little paranoid around all these people he didn’t know and he was scared of what some might think of the features of his race. He already had a glass of water in front of him on the table, his finger carefully moving over the rim in circles while he waited for the girl to arrive. Was he nervous? Halone, oh yes he was! He had never had something like.. a date with a person. He was always to busy with his work and practising magic in his home world to take a moment and get into any relationship with anyone. He slapped himself softly on the cheek, red taking over his face again. Stop thinking like that!! This is not a date!! This is just a nice meeting in a bar to talk a little! Nothing wrong with that, you idiot!The White Mage almost wanted to slam his head on the table in frustration from all the thoughts he had. He might be a nice guy but completely stiff when it came to the other sex.
Astrant.. you really need to shut down your braincells sometimes...He continued talking to himself in his mind, fixing his glasses before taking a sip from his water, almost feeling how dark rain-clouds formed over his head. This was not a good start to this evening. Rina Croft |

[attr="class","burst"] [attr="class","whitenight"]❝ Rina bustled around her bedroom getting ready for her…meeting? Engagement…? Date…? No! This is not a date! This is drinks! Drinks with a cute man that you just met. This is not a date. Rina shuddered at her inner monologue. She hadn’t been on “something like a date” in years. Practically forever. Or…maybe ever? Her late husband didn’t really court her in the way that she thought dating was supposed to be. He saved her life, gave her shelter, and then things just happened. And with the life they had be living dinner dates weren’t possible. Rina set down at her vanity and started to robotically put on some make up. Wow. I’ve never been on a date before…huh. WAIT! Stop this Rina! It’s not a date! With a huff she stood up from her chair, her face not complete with simple, but classy make up applied. She gave herself a quick once over in the full-length mirror that stood in the corner. Even though this wasn’t a date, she still wanted to make a lasting impression. She had traded in her usual attire for a loose black dress that fell just below her knees and had a scalloped V neckline. She paired it with a light pink long sleeved cardigan to cover up the scars on her back and arms. She looked beautiful, but also out of place. Dresses and the color pink were two things that never seemed to find their places on her body. They would tonight though. Tonight would be a night for firsts. The young woman made her way excidedly down the stairs and peaked her head into her roommate’s study. “Hey Waltz? I uh…I’m going out tonight. I met somebody the other day. I asked him out on a date...well for drinks. Maybe it's a date. I don't know! Anyway...Don’t wait up for me, okay? Goodnight!” With a wave to her companion, she left her home and made the short walk to the center of town and entered the Inn that Astrant had told her to meet him at. She spotted the man at the bar almost immediately. He looked just as out of place as Rina felt. With a warm smile she sat beside him, pulling her cardigan tight around her.

Astrant was already almost squishing his glass from being so nervous.. if he had more muscles, that is. He was rather thin and muscles were almost non-existent on his already smaller body. Yeah, he was one of the shorter elezen in his race. He has not met one of his kind that looked so fragile. Astrant wanted to pull his hood even deeper into his face to hide the embarrassment on his face from the view of the other people close to the desk that seemed to be irritated by his presence here. It's.. it's a bar and I am drinking water. I could have ordered some hot chocolate to make myself perfectly out of the place! Who goes to a bar to drink WATER?! W-we should have met somewhere else, but she said she wanted to get a drink with me so.. of course a tavern is the most appropriate place for her to get alcohol.
The Elezen tried to calm himself down. He was acting like a teenager, going on his first date with a young girl. He really should act more his age... he never had problems with that when he was taking care of the forest and the other children so why was he failing so much right now?
Get it together man...He was almost finally reaching his inner Zen, when he heard a very familiar voice ring in his long ears, making him almost jump from the chair in surprise. “AH!”
The Elezen turned his head a little to see that the woman has arrived and... she was gorgeous! Why has she dressed up like that! Was this a date after all?! He started stuttering, his glasses slipping down his nose slightly. Her question made him shake his head. “N-no no! You are perfectly on time! I-i got here a little earlier by accident, hehe.”He could almost feel the stares from the other people and immediately gestured to the chair next to him. “P-please make yourself comfortable.”
This.. is so.. embarrassing...

[attr="class","burst"] [attr="class","whitenight"]❝ Rina blushed and couldn’t help but laugh softly at how flustered Astrant had become. His glasses almost slipping from his nose and his bashful stutter as he spoke made him all the more endearing. She had only known him for such a short time, but she could already tell he was a super sweet guy. Super sweet was something that Rina longed for. Maybe she could find it with Astrant. Rina climbed up into the barstool beside Astrant, swinging her body towards him. She waved her hand at the bartender and he nodded in acknowledgement, bringing her favorite drink: tequila mixed with fizzy soda. “Thank you, Astrant…for coming here to see me. I suppose you don’t visit taverns often, do you?” She gestured to his glass of water and giggled. “But water is always a good choice.” She took a sip of her drink, making a funny face at the taste of alcohol. She hadn’t had a drink like this in a while.

Astrant just tried to not stand in her way and immediately sat down again when she seated herself and ordered her drink. The Elezen sipped his drink nervously. What should he say to her? Maybe tell her how nice her dress was? NO, that would be flirting right?! Think of something! He couldn’t just sit there in silence with a glass of water! That would make him look even more out of place. Finally she asked him something and Astrant almost choked on his water, before being able to answer. “Y-yes. There are taverns in my home but they are different to those here, ehem.”He only nodded at her saying that water is also a good choice and Astrant felt how he was blushing again. “I.. I am sorry. I try to avoid Alcohol. It is only taking my concentration away.”, he murmured as excuse for not joining her with a real drink. He sighed, now trying to find a topic for a conversation for real. She had wanted to meet him here so she must think he is an interesting guy to talk to. He kind of wanted to fit her expectation.
“I am fine. And you? You seem to be in a rather good mood.”Good, Astrant. That’s a start... what now..
The Elezen seemed to think for a moment. “Pardon me. I am... a little nervous. I was never invited to a drink by a woman before. I guess that is pretty sad, huh?”

[attr="class","burst"] [attr="class","whitenight"]❝ Rina placed her chin into her palm and listened to Astrant speak, smiling slightly. He had such a pleasant voice. It was calm and soothing, and Rina could probably listen to him speak all night. She nodded politely when he mentioned that he didn’t partake in alcohol because it would cloud his concentration. She understood that but took a drink from her cup anyway. Rina liked her alcohol. She didn’t drink often, but enjoyed it when she did. Her smile got wider as Astrant said he was doing fine and noticed her happy mood. “I’m in a great mood, Astrant. I…haven’t been out with friends in a while. It was nice to get out of the house, ya know?” She looked at the Elezen for a moment waiting for a response, but it came after a delay. He admitted that he was nervous and this was the first time he was ever invited out for drinks. Rina’s cheeks flushed slightly at that and she reached out to touch his hand where it was laying on the bar. Her heart was happy at how sweet his was. It was unreal.
“Aww Astrant! That’s not sad! If it’s any help…this is the first proper…date…that I’ve ever been on…” There. She said it.

Astrant felt like he was going to burst of shame soon. The girl had asked him to come here today and he didn’t know ANYTHING about her! He had fallen ON her by Halone’s sake!Why did she ask him for a date?! This was so.. so.. oh god. What if his father found out he had a date with a human. He would go INSANE! When Rina touched his hand, he squeaked slightly, jolting up a little, his hood flying of his head, his glasses getting even more foggy. Date. She said date. It was a date! A DATE!! Astrant started stuttering something, completely frozen now by the fact that she admitted to him that this was a real date they are having. “H..h..h..h...halone... g-give me strength.”, he muttered to himself before he pulled the glasses from his nose a little so he could still kind of see her without the fog covering his full view. Oh, how stupid he felt right now, stuttering in front of a young woman like her. This was going to be a disaster.
“It’s your first- I mean.. why? I-I am surprised you say that. I mean you.. erm..”Oh by the gods, just shut up! He slammed his hand on the table, suddenly screaming at the bar-man who jumped back a little. “G-g-g-g-give me Highland Whiskey!”“.. I.. I don’t know that brand, sir.”
“Oh. Right...Just give me something!”The Bartender was irritated, but filled him a glass with whiskey, Astrant grabbing it and gulping it down. He was so embarrassed. He was from Ishgard and a White Mage, both things actually enough to tell he was a respectful man and here he was completely red and unable to talk to a lady?! Screw the rules, he needed alcohol right now! Rina Croft |

[attr="class","burst"] [attr="class","whitenight"] ❝ Rina’s eyes grew wide at Astrant’s outburst for whiskey. This wasn’t something that she had expected from the quiet Elezan. As the man downed the glass, Rina looked down. She was slightly ashamed because she was the one who had driven the man to act out of his comfort zone. Why do you have to ruin the sweet ones, Rina?The dark haired girl sighed and drained the rest of her drink as well. “I-I’m sorry, Astrant. I didn’t mean to make you so embarrassed…you should have told me that this place would have made you uncomfortable. We’ve could have picked somewhere else to go.” The bartender came back up to her to offer her a second drink, but she waved him off. “We can leave, Astrant.

Astrant suddenly felt a wave of guild, seeing that Rina seemed to think that all of this was her fault. That was not true... Oh gods. NO! Astrant slowly got up from his chair, feeling terrible all of the sudden. He.. he should have told her that he had problems with public places. This was all on him right now. He drank down the Whiskey in silence for a moment before he placed the payment on the table and got up from his chair... before placing an other payment for her drink on the table as well. “P-please don't apologies. I .. I am sorry.”, he would mutter, looking around in the bar before gulping. “I.. I have.. a problem with places with many people I don't know. I get... f-flustered.”, he would speak rather lowly for only her to hear before he would carefully take her hand and drag her outside with him, however trying not to hurt her in any way while doing it. Once they were outside, Astrant seemed to be able to breath better.
“I.. You seemed to love drinking so I tried to play along. I wanted you to do something you enjoy and I messed it up.”, he muttered, hanging his head in shame in front of her. “I... I am really sorry. I should have told you.”The red on his face had faded slightly, his hand moving up to move a few strings of hair away from his eyes before he adjusted his glasses. “Are you.. okey if we just.. walk around in town a little? Or is that to boring..?”

[attr="class","burst"] [attr="class","whitenight"] ❝ Rina smiled warmly as Astrant bumbled out his apologies. “Astrant…” She leaned forward and kissed him on his warm cheek. “ Stop saying you’re sorry. You haven’t done anything to be sorry for." She squeezed the hand that was holding hers just once, before linking that arm with his arm. “It’s a lovely night. I would love to take a walk with you.” She beamed at the Elezan and then started to walk them forward. “Let’s go to the marketplace. There’s probably not any shops open, but I know just the spot where we can sit and talk.” As they walked, Rina thought about this moment that was happening. Astrant…he was so kind. So much of a gentlemen. Being with him made her feel happy.

Astrant had expected many things to happen after he stumbled ou t his apology. Everything but not for her to kiss him on the cheek like they know each other for years now. The red on his face burned up again, his eyes looking down at the young woman next to him with mixed feelings. She linked her arm with his and would start walking with him, telling him she knew a good spot for them to sit down and talk. “S-sure.”, he would murmur slightly, the little Astrant in his head running in circles, screaming. She.. kissed me... Oh god. This must be a dream.He walked with her to the market, his eyes looking around. There was really no one here except them at this time of day. They could talk without anyone staring at them. A little sight of relief escaped his lips. “It's really.. quiet here.”, he noted, coughing for a moment to gather his voice and words. “I think I have developed a fear of places with many people? I am not sure... Or maybe it is because I am not at home anymore.”It felt much easier now to gather his mind and actually have a conversation with the young woman. “I.. I kind of miss my home. Even though many people would say it's to cold and depressing to live there. Maybe I am just used to it...”Rina Croft |

[attr="class","burst"] [attr="class","whitenight"] ❝ Rina nodded in agreement. Yes. It was very quiet. The only people around we’re the two of them and one or two shopkeepers closing up shop. “Perfect timing.”, Rina said softly with a smile. She looked over at Astrant. “It’s called agoraphobia. A lot of people have it. But you don’t have to be afraid with me.” She gently tugged Astrant across the marketplace. Off to the side of the complex was a small stone staircase and that’s where Rina was leading them.
“We’re going right up here.” Rina led them up the stairs to a small concrete platform behind all of the shops. It was bordered by a thick stone wall but was otherwise empty. Rina wasn’t sure what it was really for other than maybe extra space for vendors. Every time she came up here it had been empty, just like tonight. Rina came here often just to sit on the wall with her feet dangling over the edge. From this perspective you could look out and see most of the houses of Radiant Garden all laid out in neat rows. Rina loved the sight of it.
“One of my favorite spots.” She held out her hand like she was presenting the view to Astrant. “Is this alright?”

Agoraphobia? Astrant blinked. Huh, something new he had learned today. Rina took him with her carefully, showing him her favorite place and sitting down at the edge of the wall, her feet dangling from it. Astrant carefully joined her, his eyes seeing the city from such a height for the first place, everything seeming so clear from where they are. He could understand why Rina liked this spot so much. “It's.. more than alright, Rina.”, he would speak out, his nerves seeming to finally settle, knowing he was here just with her now, no stranger watching them right now. Astrant always had been uncomfortable with people staring at him... and it was nice for once to put this condition into a word now. His eyes looked over the city and than up to the stars, watching them twinkle for a moment. It was a beautiful night.... but something about the sight of his world made his heart ache. Rina had been living here for some time now and it showed. She saw beauty in this place and she was right about it, but the shadow lingering over the town could not be ignored by him. His amber eyes closed softly as he took a deep breath and just... listened. Now that he was finally at a peaceful place, he could let himself sink for a moment and feel his surroundings again. He could hear the wind whispering into his ears, feel the scent of live that radiated through the city and the small pieces of light that still hung in the air, tickling his skin. It felt like it was trying to tell him a story.. a story of times long gone.
“Rina... have you been living her for a long time?”, he asked, seeming rather calm now, his eyes still closed to continue listening not just to her words, but those of the wind and the earth. “The moment I stepped into this world, I could hear it crying out for help. The light of this world is sleeping and I tried to wake it up.. but it didn't listen to my call.”His expression turned kind of sad now, his eyes opening slightly. “Darkness had taken it.. it is wounded and tries to recover. I saw that the people of this world are trying to return it to it's former glory... I was touched by it.”He folded his hands on his lap, his eyes turning to look at Rina now. “I know you have darkness in your heart, Rina. I sensed it the moment I met you, but I also felt a strong light you carry. You are good person... even with that in you that had taken this world once.”
His expression softened, a smile forming on his lips.
"Tell me.. about your hardship. Tell me what has brought darkness to your heart. I want to help."

[attr="class","burst"] [attr="class","whitenight"] ❝ Rina listened to Astrant as he spoke but didn’t say a word. Even after he had finished speaking she stayed silent. She was amazed. He had only known her for barely an hour yet knew more about her than she knew herself. He was brilliantly perceptive and had picked up on not only her innermost battle, but her beloved home world’s as well. She took a deep breath and let it out in a quiet sigh.
“Wow Astrant…I’m not sure where to begin. My story…is complex. It’s very complex.” Complex wasn’t the word. Screwed up was a more accurate term, but she wouldn’t say that to her new friend. “This is my home, Astrant. I wasn’t born here, but I grew up here until it was the lost to the Darkness. Then I sort of…went out on own. As soon as I could, I spread my wings and went all over the Universe. Even when I heard that this place had been restored I didn’t come back. I didn’t come back until…I needed to come back. I needed to be back home.” Astrant was right. The light was struggling in the Garden, just like the light was struggling within her.
“I’ve struggled for so long, Astrant…I’ve always struggled. Even as a child I could feel the Darkness pull and tug at me and CALL for me! It’s ruined me in so many ways. I’ve did things that would make your skin crawl, Astrant. And I hate that person. I hate that girl inside of me.” She turned to look straight at Astrant. “I’m not that person anymore. I’m not. I don’t ever want to be that girl again, but she’s there…lurking just beneath the surface…”.
Rina hadn’t realized it, but at some point, she had begun to cry. Tears were making tracks down her pretty face. Astrant said he wanted to help…but she wasn’t sure if he could.

Astrant had done this a lot in Gridania. He listened to the hardship of the people of the town and tried to comfort them and take their pain away somehow. This was something he was used to and now that he knew he was truly needed to aid a young woman that started to shed tears in front of him by the painful past she had witnessed.. his whole aura seemed to change. Gone was the nervous young man and he was replaced by a White Mage. The elezen carefully took her hand, trying to comfort her as she cried in front of him, his hand brushing over hers in hopes of calming her down a little. “I understand. You are afraid of what you have once been and the darkness that still lingers inside of you.”, he murmured, seeming to be in thought for a moment when he tried to find a way to aid her aching heart with it's recovery. “It's okey if you want to cry. You seem to have been holding this burden for a long time.”, he reassured. It was okey to cry. Crying helped you to get all those heavy emotions of your chest and you feel lighter after you have shed some tears most of the time. He would stay by her side and watch over her in this moment of weakness. “You don't have to let the darkness control you, Rina. You have a good heart and a strong will. You can overcome this... maybe not alone, but with someone by your side to aid you. The darkness won't take you again. You just need a light to guide you the way.”
He continued to gently move his hand over hers to sooth her nerves a little, his eyes not once leaving her face till now. Taking a deep breath, he would close his eyes and place his other hand on hers carefully, before he would start speaking again. “Oh mighty twelve, grand this woman salvation. Help her to gain new energy for this fight and help her carry this burden.”With those words spoken, a soft light would spread from his palms, slowly sinking into Rina's hands and into her body, a wave of refreshing energy soothing her heart.
