Behind him, a heart monitor indicator indicates a heart beat, and then flat lines. Panel 4: Artoirel's posture sags, leaning into the touch of her hands. He lets out a held breath.

M'ahina and Artoirel are relaxing on the sofa. Artoirel chastises her for curling her legs under her.

M'ahina slumps against Artoirel's shoulder and starts purring. He immediately retracts his complaint.

Artoirel was surprised the first time M'ahina started doing Cat Things around him
#gposers #woltoirel #mahina⚜️

Artoirel: It is a small thing… Although I am certain you need no reminder of my concern for you, it simply seems an appropriate thing to speak to my wife. M'ahina: … M'ahina: Haha! I think I understand. In spite of some of the oddities of our relationship, you're still a very traditional man, aren't you? Artoirel: Mayhap so. Family is an important thing to me, and I…  M'ahina: What is it? You can tell me.

Artoirel: Absurd though it may sound, I still fancy myself your protector. Certainly not in battle, but at home, at the very least. M'ahina: Hmm. Sometimes I worry you take your role a bit too seriously. Artoirel: That is a queer thing to hear indeed from one who has chosen to use their new position to take on yet more responsibilities instead of taking their leisure. And you have not answered my question. M'ahina: Well… Since I can tell it will make you happy, I suppose I don't mind.

Artoirel: Very well. Then… I love you, M'ahina. M'ahina: … M'ahina: I… I love you…? M'ahina: Ah. That was… easier than expected. I suppose it's not so bad when it's platonic? Artoirel: I will have to remind you often, then.

Artoirel: I read your letter. M'ahina: Oh? Artoirel: Thank you for writing it. M'ahina: Of course. I… know it probably wasn't very helpful.

Artoirel: No… I'm glad to know that much more about you. And… if friendship is enough for you, then I am content to leave things there. I suppose you are right—there is no need to overthink things. It is a regrettable habit of mine. M'ahina: Well…. My regrettable habit is not thinking enough, so I suppose we're even. Artoirel: Yes, I suppose that's why you married me. M'ahina: Mayhap it is, but I don't regret it.

Artoirel: I am… very heartened to hear that. But, there is something I wished to ask you. M'ahina: Hm? Artoirel: I understand that love as a concept gives you difficulty, but… I was wondering if you might still permit me to say it, even if only in friendship. M'ahina: Might I ask why?

(Cessalie x Artoirel)

When it's time to do the colours and you just say, mm no thank you :) Not today :) :) :)

#yotp25 #artoirel #artoilie #ffxiv #woltoirel

Artoirel: I would not expect that of you, and I can well understand your desire to hold fast to your memories. That is not to say there are not some small, selfish benefits for me, to be certain–I would no longer face the dilemma of courting noble ladies, for example, and there is an appeal in having such a capable friend at my side amidst all this change. Artoirel (cont): But as to something more material… That is not something that matters to me. If you seek some manner of sense in my words, I am afraid I can offer none; indeed, this may be for naught but for personal satisfaction… Though I would make this offer all the same. That is to say, my desire to see you with us is genuine, and it need not be romantic in nature to be fulfilled. Artoirel: All that being said, it is not mine intent to force your hand. Know but this: should you find these sentiments unwanted, you need but speak the word, and I shall forever hold my peace. This, I swear. M'ahina: Mmm... M'ahina: (What does he expect me to do with this? .... I didn't think I'd ever see someone normally so rational so … lost. Is this supposed to be his way of giving support, or asking for it? There are so many better ways to do that. But… it's not as though I have room to judge. After all, even I… )

M'ahina: … When you've finished paying your respects, could you come to the manor? I assume we'll need your father's permission, first. Artoirel: ….!? Artoirel: Of course. Go on ahead–I shan't be long.

M'ahina: ( Why am I doing this….? Am I so desperate for comfort? But … he must need the same, or surely he wouldn't have bothered. No… He is definitely not the kind of man to offer such a thing without a willingness to see it through. He even seemed so relieved just now, even though we're just… Is this supposed to be my answer…? Haurchefant… I wish I could hear your reply. ) Artoirel: I… did not expect her to accept, let alone so readily, but this is all I can do. Artoirel (cont): What say you, Haurchefant? We were not as close as we should have been in life, yet now I wonder what your thoughts would be. Would this fool's errand please you? Is this a just way of atoning, or am I merely satisfying mine own vanity? I am uncertain… yet I have made this my duty all the same.

✨Expanded Edition✨ of Artoirel's proposal to M'ahina, with a bit of additional lore (3/3)
#gposers #woltoirel #mahina⚜️

Artoirel: Surely, that is what he desired when he took you into our house. Mayhap the offer was meant as temporary refuge, but Haurchefant wanted much more than that for you–he sought a place of comfort that you could always return to. M'ahina: I… Artoirel: I… do not wish to see you lose that, for both his sake and yours. And so, I was wondering if… if you might see fit to grant me the honor of ensuring your happiness in his place. M'ahina: You can't mean…?

[FLASHBACK] Haurchefant: M'ahina. Do you understand the difference between love and obsession? M'ahina: What do you mean? Haurchefant: It's rather simple, really. It is an easy thing to consider how another person makes you feel, and to want more of it. But it is quite another to instead choose another, to want to be the instrument of their happiness, rather than solely focused on your own personal pleasures. M'ahina: Are you trying to tell me that I shouldn't mind my failure with Thancred because it wasn't love? Haurchefant: Certainly not! 'Tis a natural thing to mourn a future that may have been. We are only human, after all. As to the matter of love, that is something only you can decide. I can only say this…

Haurchefant: To me, there is only you. [END FLASHBACK] M'ahina: …. (Why am I remembering this now?) M'ahina: I don't understand. You have already made me a knight of House Fortemps–what could you gain from this? I've nothing to offer you… Do you not want to find companionship for yourself at all? I… do not think I could give it you. Or anyone, for that matter.

✨Expanded Edition✨ of Artoirel's proposal to M'ahina, with a bit of additional lore (2/3)
#gposers #woltoirel #mahina⚜️

M'ahina: Haurchefant… What am I to do from here….? I thought I finally had a place for myself, but now you're… ???: M'ahina? M'ahina: …. Lord Artoirel. Artoirel: My apologies for interrupting. M'ahina: It's alright, I was just about to leave. Though I'm surprised to see you here.

Artoirel: Oh? M'ahina: I would have thought you more like to visit your family family mausoleum. Artoirel: I see. 'Tis true that is where his earthly remains are interred, and yet… Haurchefant was not one to follow tradition for the sake of it, and if there was aught to connect him to this world, I believe it would be not through bones, but the shield upon this memorial; such is the essence of who he was, and of what he wanted. M'ahina: I can see what you mean. "A knight lives to serve," after all.

M'ahina: In any case, I should be heading back. I'll leave you to mourn in peace. Artoirel: … Artoirel: M'ahina. A moment. M'ahina: ?

Artoirel: There is a matter I've been meaning to discuss with you. I realize the time and place are less than ideal, yet even so, I must broach this subject while I can. M'ahina: Alright. Is there something wrong? Artoirel: … You were meant to be a part of our family. M'ahina: Huh?
