Between Dusk and Dawn
Chapter 1: The Viera Soldier

After helping Yugiri, the Warrior of Light A'rukay returns to interrogate a rather uncooperative Imperial soldier they captured, in hopes of finding his missing brother A'rhet. (1/7)

Takes place after the short stories
#gposevn #BetweenDuskAndDawn
A Raen woman and a Lalafell white mage stand in the House of the Fierce, waiting for A'rukay to return. When he arrives, the Lalafell, Lolona Lona, waves to him.
Lolona Lona: A'rukay, you're back! How did it fare with Yugiri?

A'rukay Tia, disappointed: It could have gone better. A'rukay: Is the Imperial still here?

Shion, the Raen: We are holding him, though not many want to sit and stand watch. Lolona: He's not said much, but he appears to be... carefully watching everyone, perhaps studying...

Lolona spaces off, hands on her face as her eyes stare wide into the distance.
Lolona: With those... deep... ruby eyes... A'rukay, snapping her out of it: Lolona.

Lolona, sheepishly: Oh! Right, right... Sorry. He's right this way, A'rukay.

(6/11) (This is one of the moments where the lighting is like "let's make Valjan's lips really bright")
When Valjan realizes something, the corner of his mouth softly curls up.

Valjan speaks, but doesn't turn. A'rukay looks at him with a worried look.
Valjan: Ru. A'rukay's ears drop. G'raha looks at Valjan concerned.
Valjan, off-screen: I'm sorry. I know you hate it when people do this.

Valjan turns and walks off. Alisaie looks up at him with concern.
A'rukay: Valjan-
Valjan, interrupting: I won't draw it out any longer than it needs to be. Alisaie steps in front of Valjan and holds out her arms to stop him.
Alisaie, quietly: (Valjan, stop.)

Alisaie frowns.
Alisaie: (We can't keep doing this to him. You know it breaks his heart.) Valjan crosses his arms and frowns.
Valjan, quietly: (I know...)
Alisaie: (We can figure out another way through this storm.)

Valjan looks down at Alisaie seriously. Alisaie looks down.
Valjan: (And how long will it take to find one? Long enough for our friends to lose their fight?)
Alisaie: ...
Valjan: (This is our only chance at bringing them back. You know this.)

With four of their friends paving the way forward with their sacrifices, the remaining Scions trek on through Ultima Thule. Valjan is quick to notice how A'rukay is feeling about it. Before they can progress any further, a mysterious storm blocks the way forward. (1/11)
#gposevn
As the remaining Scions (G'raha, Alphinaud, Alisaie, A'rukay, and Valjan) trek through Ultima Thule, Valjan watches A'rukay as he fidgets with his hands. As A'rukay walks, his tail whips to the side. Valjan frowns, watching A'rukay.
Valjan, thinking: [He's agitated.]

A'rukay turns and speaks to G'raha, though the frame's dialogue remains as Valjan's thoughts.
Valjan: [He once told me he hates when people sacrifice their lives for him.] A'rukay turns and speaks to Alphinaud and Alisaie.
Valjan: ["What makes me better than they are," he said, "That their lives are more disposable than mine."]
Valjan: ["That now I have to live with the guilt."]

Alphinaud and A'rukay smile at each other. Alisaie looks down with a smile.
Valjan: [It makes him doubt himself. Even worse, it makes him hate himself.]

If this game has no content, then how come when I type "/content" in the chat box, it makes my character smile?

With the final preparations to the Ragnarok made, Valjan and A'rukay have a heart-to-heart before they journey to Ultima Thule. (1/4) (With Bonus)
#gposevn
Valjan is sitting on a bench overlooking the dock in Old Sharlayan. The sun softly sets in the sky.

Valjan lifts an ear, hearing an approaching A'rukay. He smiles.
Valjan: Doing the rounds?
A'rukay, smiling: Just seeing how everyone is faring. A'rukay sits next to Valjan on the bench and looks over to him.
A'rukay: We have quite the journey ahead of us, to a distant place from whence we may never return.

A'rukay looks concerned.
A'rukay: Are you sure this is what you wish? Valjan looks away and frowns.
Valjan, seriously: Ru, I'm not going to back out at the last minute. I gave everyone my word.

A'rukay looks down and smiles softly.
A'rukay: Part of me wished you would stay behind. Valjan looks over with a risen brow.
Valjan, confused: Why?

A'rukay: Rhet would be devastated if something where to happen to us both.
Valjan, leaning his head back: Ah.

Bonus, from Valjan's perspective:
Ringing.

As air began to fill my lungs, all I could hear was the ringing. My body ached and my heart threatened to beat out of my chest. My thoughts were clouded and I found that I struggled to remember what happened before this and why I was laying on the floor.

I remembered embarking on the Ragnarok. The screens went dark, and there was that bird creature. I remember the life leaving my body and everything going dark. I tensed up at the memory and my breath quickened as my recollection returned.

Breathe. Where am I?

The ground was hard and cold against my back, which meant I couldn't have been lying here for long. I propped myself up onto my elbows and then to my hands, gaze sweeping around me as I took a count. Y'shtola, Estinien... No Thancred? Besides him, all were here with me, in similiar predicaments on the floor.

Wait. Where's Ru? My head snapped around. Left. Right. I located him behind me, facing away and laying face first on the metal floor. He was silent, body still, and I found myself staring with bated breath, waiting for any movement or indication he was alive.

With a groan, he stirred and pulled himself up to his hands and knees. I let out the breath I was holding in.

With a shake of his head, he turned and met my gaze, brows arching and eyes wide in surprise. His lips parted to ask:

"Were you...oggling my backside?"

"Huh??"

What could I say? How was I supposed to defend myself against an accusation that would have otherwise been true??
