Prompt 5: Preservation

In which Loire feels angry towards a squirrel

#FFxivWrite2026 #FFxivWrite #ffxiv #DawntrailSpoilers #PostDawntrailspoilers

The founder of Preservation was making him mad. Angry, yes, but he was also making Loire lose touch with reality entirely. He felt it slipping through his fingers here in Mor Dhona, the very place he often felt at a loss for action since his wildest adventures always came to an end here. Surely, he was going crazy.

There was no possible way that those two had access to him. But why were they talking like they did? Weren't they implying what he thought they were implying?

He felt an awful little thrill of excitement warm his chest. Horrible! He hated that!

As he looked at the small boy now, dressed as a squirrel plushie and carroting him around with the mere idea of Zenos Galvus—Loire already knew he was going to fall for his tricks. The would give in within the hour, if he could. It was getting to the point that he knew he would do anything the Ascians asked if there even was so much as a scrap of a chance he could see Zenos again.

…It was terrible behavior. What was wrong with him?

And he had to stand there with a calm and neutral face as he daydreamed about what might happen to Calyx in that body if he threw it off a cliff. Would he still be alive when he hit the bottom? Would he feel pain?

He reminded him an awful lot of another frail and weaselly man who had also been a scientist in life. That one, too, had also been annoying as hell.

Except that time he was carroting Zenos.

How he didn't manage to hit the bottom of the cliff then must have been a real display of restraint.
