[At this point, people have probably seen a few miqo'te by now. At first, Irhya keeps her face hidden, but seems to have a change of heart shortly thereafter, brushing some hair out of her face as she adjusts the frame. For coming from a world that is so technologically limited in the face of -- this... she sure has adapted quickly.

There is something apprehensive about the way her eyes dart back and forth, about the initial pause before she starts speaking, but it's easily forgettable once she finds her stride.]


Let me just preface this by saying that where I'm from, animal husbandry is forbidden. Fear of upsetting the forest and all that... though frankly I've always thought the Elementals need to stop being such temperamental little shites in the first place. Anyway, dairy is understandably scarce because of it, and imports are scarce as well as prohibitively expensive, so most of the populace lives on grown produce and wild game.

Which brings me to my problem. I have no interest in playing around in the dirt, but I suppose raising animals doesn't sound all that bad. Especially when I, personally, have a lot more use for wool and milk than most things that come from plants. But I also don't know the first damn thing about it.

[After she confesses, the top half of a sheep becomes visible at the bottom of the frame, and she leans down a little to stroke it. There also seems to be something black and furry skulking about on a hay bale behind her; a cat, most likely.]

So! I normally don't do this, but I would like to propose a trade. If there's anyone willing to help me with my little problem -- showing me the basics, hanging around to lend a hand, whatever works -- I can probably craft a few things in return. Tools, clothing, medicines... actually, it's probably easier just to pitch what you need from me and I'll decide case-by-case. I'm not yet familiar with what kinds of materials might be available here, but I think we can make something work out, right?

Just one rule: if you end up getting indecisive on me, I'm defaulting to cooking.

[She makes as if to end the recording, but hesitates, struck with a second thought.]

Oh, and one more thing. If anyone here happens to be a native to Eorzea, I have a few questions for you.

Where will you acquire the animals? { He might be into this venture. }

...I may not be from your shard, but I am from an Eorzea. What do you wish to ask? [ says the woman who sounds so much like minfilia, who looks like an au ra version of her. ]

Depends on what you mean by 'native'.

It's good that you found at least something about this place that you like.

[Flora herself was more of a plants expert than an animal one. Though she has raised fairy animals before. That's a whole different thing and a thing she brought to earth back in her home.]

I do hope you find someone, though I would also like to learn how to take care of animals better too myself.

[Haurchefant doesn't know anything about farming. He knows a little about raising animals. Or at least, chocobos. So in this he's useless to her plights. However... he is from Eorzea and more than capable of answering questions about it. At least to the the best of his ability.

So after fiddling around with this device he manages to send an eager reply back.]


I am. I am from Eorzea! And I am quite glad to find another in return. It makes this strange new place quite a bit warmer... and it's quite warm already!

[The heat? It's a lot for someone surrounded by ice and snow each and every day.]

I'm from Ishgard but I mostly reside in Coerthas where I look after Camp Dragonhead. We're known for our frigid hospitality so I would not blame you for thinking rather... unkindly, I suppose? But I am a great supporter of the adventurers that come through. Many of which have been wonderful allies to my cause and for that I am grateful. Being from another corner of the world as most other Eorzeans perhaps I msy be useful in your inquiries?

[The feed is coming from a face that is far too cute to be a normal animal, as Pear positions the camera at a angle that was a little off but held in her hoof.]

I can help with the animals. We raise pigs and chickens on our farm and let the cows stay on the farm too. It's not apple bucking time yet so I won't need help with that either.

You know, I thought that! I mean, it couldn't be that hard to allow people a little more room, right?

[…Yda may have some Feelings about all of that.]

I could probably help out! [Or, well, try to.] I don't know that much of animal husbandry, but I could learn!

[She tilts her head.] Well- I'm from Eorzea! I'm… well, I don't always get the latest news, but I can try to answer any questions you've got.

[Cehd'ra doesn't know why he's doing this. She's no one he recognizes and the odds of her recognizing him are so slight as to be impossible...but that uneasy knot doesn't go away. She's another Keeper, Gridanian too from the sound of it. It's a stupid thing to feel anxious over but it's enough to keep his face off the camera, sticking to voice instead.]

What do you want to ask?

[This would be easier if he was more comfortable with text.]
