So, the girls of FFXIV drink tea and talk about boys. There goes our Bechdel rating!

Still, was a cute enough story, though I personally prefer the stories that actually reveal stuff about the characters that we don't already know.
- Y'shtola is a very private person. (We knew this.)
- Lyse can be a bit dim at times. Most times, really. (We knew this.)
- Aphinaud greatly admires Estinien. (We knew this.)
- Allisae greatly admires the WoL. (We knew this.)
- The WoL is a busy person. (Gods, do we know this.)

Pretty much the only thing this story accomplished was to torpedo the Lyse/Hien and Y'shtola/Thancred ships. And not even that, really; while Y'shtola's answer was cool enough that it's probably legit, Lyse's flustered response seems like the sort of, "Oh, no, he and I could never work out, and anyway there's someone else that likes him, not that I'm interested, really!" stuff that crops up in countless romcoms.
