Miss K'lyhia,

It has been ages since I last saw you. That fateful day you floated off to follow your dream was the same day you stole my heart.

I remember when we first met. After practicing magic upon some unsightly vermin and examining a cluster of crates you seemed to be attempting to hide and gauge my strength. My skills at magic never truly took hold but you did. The way you spoke and acted touched me. Not quite normal but perfect for you. Your passion for tactics and watching you grow to face your flaws and your fears with such determination was simply amazing. When you posed as the dancer to get aboard Doesmaga’s ship was a brilliant idea utilizing all the tools you had. It also showed me you were much more than just a smart and glowing lass. It took a lot of effort not to toss my book down and draw my axe and solve your problems my way. But, there would’ve been no growth from either of us had I taken that path.

Everytime I see a dancing miqo’te a little part of me hopes she will have your lovely pink hair. Everytime I hear a book snap shut I wonder if you will stride in to tell me how this meeting wasn’t by chance, but by design.

Whenever I draw my axe to defend a group of adventurers from the nightmares that this world has to offer a piece of me wishes it was you by my side. To see your brilliant mind in action once more, to catch a glimpse of your lovely hair caught in the sea breeze. I hope that one day i will get to tell you how i feel face to face.

Your Loving Admirer,
Daniel O’rourke

To the Ever Dutiful Proprieter of The Quicksand


My dearest Momodi,

Ever since that first fateful day that I came to Ul'dah, there was something about you that struck me. Your firmness, your smile, your ever unwavering guidance; all of these things and more drew my heart to you. So much has happened since that first day. Even though I don't much care for titles, I'm sure you've heard of the many things I've come to accomplish. But with everything I've done, I've never done them alone. And sadly many have been lost along the way. But I will never forget them, nor will I forget those who remain. Especially you, Momodi. Were it not for your help at the very beginning, none of this would have ever been possible. I'd just be wandering about aimlessly around Ul'dah. It was thanks to your aid first granted to me that I was able to go on to help so many others.

Oh sweet Momodi, every excuse I have to come speak with you makes my heart sing. Especially with how sparse those have become due to our busy schedules. But I am writing this letter, less as a direct confession, and more as a heartfelt thank you for all you've done for me and many others. I can say with certainty that the realm, much less myself, would not be the same without you. While I know that we can never be, know that you will forever have my deepest gratitude; and my heart. May the light of the crystal ever be with you.

Most sincerely,
Richard Puncher
