Charaktere

Early morning, at the docks of Limsa Lominsa...

"So, you're leavin' to Gridania, eh?"

Yari sighed, and looked back at her younger brother. "Yeah, runt, I'm goin' to Gridania. I told ya the same thing yesterday." She set down her (not yours, Yari, you stole it) old, gnarled lance, her luggage (a burlap sack) tied carefully to the blade. Only then did she approach her little Roegadyn brother.

"Look, Sanzoku, I know ye want me t'stay here an' take care of you, and Yuki and Okii, but I really have to take care o' this. If you saw what happened to that guy.." She trailed off, and her eyes started to water. As she wiped the wetness away, Sanzoku gave his sister a tight hug.

"Alright, alright, no need t' cry! If ya gotta do this, then get on with it. I'll take care o' things around here, but if'n you come into some gil-"

"I'll send all the gil I can, runt," Yari said, ending the embrace. "Now, that bein' said, you gotta keep things afloat, alright? If I hear that you blew the gil on anything other than food n' medicine, I'll be on the next ship to Limsa Lominsa to beat ya within an inch o' yer life! Got it?" The whole time she made her threats, she had grabbed her brother's ratty tunic, and had his feet dangling off the ground. He didn't gain the nickname Runt because he was tall, that's for sure.

"Y-yeah, sure!"

"Yeah sure what?"

"YEAH SURE, BIG SIS!"

Yari released, and Sanzoku fell right on his arse. "Good, now get back home. It's almost time t' get breakfast on the table, and them worthless excuses of a ma n' da aren't gonna be takin' care o' it."

With that, she picked up her bundle, and kept walking for the ship. I really hope this is the right thing t'do, Yari thought. Heck, they might jus' throw me in jail.. The reluctance crept up her spine, but she shook her head and walked faster than before. The Twelve can shove that thought. I'm not gonna give up jus' like that!

And soon, she'd be on her way to atone for her past transgressions, and take on the life of an adventurer.
