Aside from trying to evade Garuda's ulitimate attack to avoid a wipe (which failed the first time), I made work of a couple of big robots that came from Eos to make their way down here. A fate and a couple of solo instances. Even the Ixal couldn't tell the difference. The Garuda from Eos was too much for Natalan's beastmen at the Howling Eye. What in the seven hells were they doing?
I told Noctis, "Luna and Garuda want you to continue your work over there but you are free to come down here any time you want. If you need to help us clear some more trash over in Central Thanalan, come on down and help. And as always, you can find me in Shirogane so I can treat you do some popoto soba and tempura platters. You need to learn how to craft."
"I will remember that, Mai," he said, offering a thumbs up.
"Tell Gladsy I send my regards and the next time he comes down, he has a box of Cup Noodles waiting for him, Igsy and Prompsy."
"I will tell him, that's for sure," said Noctis. "If I hadn't known better, you would make a good younger sister since I am older than you, barely."
"You think so?" I did a playful pose. "I will give you this." I handed Nocsy a bunny-shaped charm. "Use this to return to me anytime you want and return after you're done visiting me." I then handed three copies of the charm. "For the others. You hunters will feel right at home here and you gave Kipih a nice story to write for the Raven."
"Awesome."
"And, even though Luna will be mad and Sakuta will be..." I went over and gave Noctis a kiss. On the lips.
"Mai...! You didn't really have to...!!"
"Don't forget who's on your side, whether in Eorzea or Eos. The Great King Always Dreams Of Bunny Girl Sempai. Right?"
"Absolutely. See you, Mai Sakurajima." With a smile, he drove off into his own world.
"That was a great experience but to think Garuda got you, even as a White Mage..." Sakuta said. "Forced nerf you reckon?"
"I will zero you as well if you don't keep your mouth shut!" I said, pinching Sakuta's cheeks.
"Owowowowow, it was only a jest!" Hmph. That's what he thinks.
