You ain't a bug, either, baby brother. So we'll just have to make it work!

anyway, unfazed by Ilias' rudimentary questions and somewhat lost expression.

He can't help himself. G'raha is so animated as he speaks, and it's just so damned endearing. And so, not wanting to interrupt him, Ilias simply reaches out, covering the Miqo'te's hand with one of his own.

G'raha's been doing what he does best - going on at length about something to do with history - and Ilias is... listening, but not exactly keeping up. It's one of those moments wherein he feels a bit too dumb for the company he keeps, but G'raha rambles on +

A toothy grin spread over Ilias' face, and he nodded, clapping a hand on Koana's shoulder. "Hells yeah I do! You know they ain't got tacos in Eorzea? I'm jonesin'!" He laughed as they walked, taking a deep breath of the ocean air. "Y'gotta fill me in on everything! How's your sister?"

It was a spontaneous thing, that kiss. He hadn't even planned it - nor realized how much he'd wanted it - until it was happening. But once that kiss broke, Ilias was all smiles, hands lightly placed upon Koana's waist. "... Sorry," he said with a crooked grin, a bit sheepish. "Couldn't help myself."

// 11. Before he finally relented and picked up MCH, he was a warrior! As such, he's more 'built' than most male Viera and has a strong upper body.

3!

He finally freed Koana after another slightly-too-tight squeeze and a hearty pat on the back. "Ahh, y'know, been a 'lil bit homesick, I reckon," he said with a grin. "Figured the 'lil brother and I would come back and remember what good food tastes like. How you been, huh? Look at you, all fancy!"

// 10. His forest/birth name is Kodaessali. Only his younger brother and childhood friends know it (Koana, Wuk Lamat, Erenville).

"Ah--my apologies," he says sheepishly, rubbing at the back of his neck. "So, Mx. Elspeth, what brings ya to Tural? Somethin' tells me you ain't from around here."

"Elspeth Miret-moor," he repeats, smiling warmly. "Now, ain't that a lovely name? Pleasure to meet ya, Ms. Elspeth. Ilias Grimsvik." Ever the gentleman, he gently takes Els' hand and presses a quick kiss to their knuckles.

he pounces, snatching Val up in his arms and hoisting him up bridal-style.

"Hah!! Like shootin' fish in a barrel!" he exclaims, shooting Thancred a thumbs up across the room.

He's been taking pointers from Thancred all afternoon, and now... it's time.

Carefully, oh so carefully, he crouches down, tiptoeing up behind his brother as slowly and quietly as possible as he leafs through a bookshelf. But finally, the moment he's close enough, +

"Koana, you son of a gun!! Get over here!" he hollers across the dock, a wide grin across his freckled face. The moment he catches up to the Hhetsaro, he throws his arms around him in a bear hug, lifting him about a fulm off the ground for a moment. "How long's it been, eh?"
December 20, 2024 at 11:53 PM
// 9. He sees a lot of himself in Alphinaud, and while he's been trying to get close to him, it's been difficult given his demeanor in ARR. (I only have Ilias barely into HW by the way, LMAO)
December 19, 2024 at 5:25 PM
// 8. He's very close with Y'shtola. Funnily enough, they did actually sleep together shortly after he joined the Scions, and while they both enjoyed it, they've just been more like "bros" ever since. He took her disappearance after the banquet the hardest.

Stephanivien asked if he knew how to shoot guns, too, and he ended up getting roped into target practice - and lo and behold, he was a natural born sharpshooter.
December 19, 2024 at 5:25 PM
// 7. He really got roped into the MCH business against his will. While looking for extra work in Ishgard, Stephanivien mentioned needing some help reassembling some guns. Having been familiar with them from when he was a teen in Shaaloani, Ilias made quick work of it. +

// 6. Between his brother having an Archon's mark, and the rest of the Scions either having them too or just being generally knowledgeable, he feels a bit dumb sometimes. He's really not unintelligent at all, but he doesn't have an area of focus that he's exceptionally smart in like most around him.
December 19, 2024 at 5:25 PM
// 5. He tries very very hard to beat the allegations of being a stereotypical Shaaloani native. Which is funny, because very few, if any, people in Eorzea even know about those stereotypes. He refused to consider being a MCH for a long time because he thought it was too on the nose.
December 18, 2024 at 7:52 PM
// 4. He ADORES kids. Every kid he's come across in MSQ so far, he's seriously considered trying to adopt. He wants his own, but feels a bit young for it at the moment.
December 18, 2024 at 7:52 PM
// 3. His parents were traders, so they often traveled around Tural when things were slow in Hhusatahwi. Ilias really enjoyed the times he was permitted to tag along, and now he loves to travel. Seeing the world was one of his other reasons for heading to Eorzea.
