Do NOT test Kezz's patience. It will be the last thing you ever do.

If Kezz loses his legendary patience, you're in trouble.

/1 Morroyo's my main WoL in canon, but my other OCs play parts in his story. Since Morroyo's an older WoL, the MSQ doesn't play out exactly like it does in game.

Lewin and the others handle things on the Source while Morroyo's on the First (the thing w/Garlemald, for ex). Lewin's also the one who..

Morroyo's in diplomatic gear before he goes to Garlemald in EW.

Lewin has some major family issues that he's stuck in. It's mostly concerning his mother, Rianne Charbonneau and the Ishgardian side, especially her, his stepfather Lord Raoul Tintagel, and various family additions and secrets (some he's unaware of...for now).

Rianne Charbonneau-Hunte, now Lady Rianne Tintagel, Lewin's mother.

Lewin's father Davith died when Lewin was 20. Lewin was NOT in Gridania when it happened. It was a reason why he became a conjurer and put down his bow for a time.

Guilt over not being there (among other repressed emotions) gave his Esteem a foothold into his psyche. As a DRK, it changed his life.

Lewin gets along more with Hardiboiled, while Morroyo relates more to the Gentleman of Light Hildibrand.

If Lewin was in a noir movie, he'd be "shoot first (to disable), ask questions (and apologize) later".

Morroyo loves new cultures and getting to know people from different places. He will ask a lot of questions about language, customs, cuisine, etc.

He's been technically retired since the end of base EW, but he couldn't resist the chance to go back to Tural. (He's been there before).

Lewin: "Gods...why me?"

Tini: "I'm telling ya, you're too much of a nice guy. I love ya like a brother, but I need to to teach ya the Lalafell haymaker. You use your fists."

(Tini tells it like it is. Poor Lewin 😆)

#FFXIV #lalafell #hyur

Lewin is wondering what he's gotten himself into.

Tini gives him a look that says, "I told you so."

That RDM's MP... 😬 and Raising Macros tell other Healers they've got this.

But as a RDM, that just tells me the Healers were either out of MP, constantly on the floor, or too busy DPS'ing.

Honestly, I get more:

"RDM RAISE ME"
"Don't get it till 58."
"YOU GOT VERCURE!"
"Don't have that either."
