digital comic, page 1 of 4

panel 1: a black-haired male miqo'te warrior of light, z'ahra, holds the crystal exarch's hand, looking concerned. "does the crystal on your body hurt you?"
"no," g'raha assures him with a smile, but he refuses to meet z'ahra's gaze.

panel 2: z'ahra glares at g'raha, unamused. g'raha sweats, knowing z'ahra is onto him.

panel 3: z'ahra smiles wearily. "you're not as good at lying as the crystal exarch, are you, raha?"
g'raha sighs. "i don't know about that. perhaps i'm simply not as good at lying to YOU, ahra... not anymore."

digital comic, page 2 of 4

panel 1: z'ahra examines g'raha's crystallization sadly. "...i wish i were a healer. i wish i could help you."
g'raha smiles. "i doubt even a healer would be able to help. it's a small price to pay for the greater good."

panel 2: z'ahra scowls. "would you say that if i were in your position? would you say that my pain was a small price to pay for the greater good?"
g'raha's gaze lowers. "i-- well-- that's not--"

digital comic, page 3 of 4

panel 1: z'ahra closes his eyes and tenderly presses a kiss to the back of g'raha's crystallized hand.
g'raha flushes in surprise. "ah! w-what are you doing?"
"helping you," z'ahra says. "the best i can."

panel 2: z'ahra kisses g'raha's crystallized wrist, where his pulse point would be if it were flesh and bone. "so-- am i? helping?"

digital comic, page 4 of 4

panel 1: g'raha flushes darkly, at an utter loss for words. "i..."

panel 2: exterior shot of the crystal tower twinkling in the sunlight. "...yes."

in from the cold - duty failed #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv

digital artwork of a male miqo'te warrior of light, possessed by zenos during the endwalker quest "in from the cold". the wol is hunched over and covered in blood. his eyes glow red and he's grinning maliciously. he holds one of urianger's astro cards between the middle and index fingers of his right hand, as well as alisaie's cracked red mage's focus. in his left hand he clutches g'raha's cracked and bloodied black mage staff.
