Also, in a "kinda but not really" way, THOSE DANG MOOGLES. They're so CUTE but they're just so NAUGHTY. It really isn't fair. Of course he supports helping them and can find them charming at times, but sometimes you really must just slap a moogle.

He also can't stand Aymeric. In a way it's almost comedic, because it wasn't one thing? He feels Aymeric never completely took responsibility for some of his behavior (and what was lost as a result) and wishes him well for others' sake but hates being in the same room. He can't always force a smile.

He is exceedingly protective of the twins (and, well, everyone tbh) and very respectful towards Y'shtola. She kind of reminds him of a lot of the Viera he left behind.

He cannot stand Zenos, but that's because Zenos has a similar fire that he isn't totally comfortable resembling even slightly.

It does seem right, the F Viera armor has armor that looks kinda like a tail, let us officially join the tail club 🥺

I am a tail haver for my bunnies! Tail haver and keeper of problems but no peets or paws!

And to circle back to Kiki, she fries batter on makeshift grills and wonders why it goes poorly. She's Raen, but she may as well be Nashu's sister from another mister, that's about her level of brain power.

In shared WoL-verses, he maintains slight bristling with Ishgardian elites and gets on far better with people like Estinien and Hilda. If offered fancy food, he asks for it to be bagged up and gives it away.

He knows it's weird. He's working on it! It gets better later, but uh, too soon, Aymeric.

> at least not by this point. For him, sitting in a wealthy man's manor and indulging in a large meal while others starved in the cold was tone-deaf, brief though it was intended to be. He felt forced into attending. It is no question he would go to the aid of someone in need rather than stay.

He struggles a lot with the Ishgard's isolationist stance, originating from an isolated area himself and suffering the consequences of not adhering to ancient traditions, being utterly powerless to change them.

Yuuki also does not tolerate lavish dining. He does not eat to indulge and relax, >

> that someone was willing to risk even a sliver of theirs for a cause he was fighting for.

(It is likely they have to get through layers of "you shouldn't take risks for me though, value yourself," says the former Viera warder very hypocritically..!)

He essentially felt at that point it was an extension of his inadequacy as someone who was meant to be a solitary defender of the woods, and he'll say as much in not so many words.

Though he will also say that people aren't meant to spend a lifetime alone, and that he is grateful>

> with things that were risky, but important. He was used to being denied work and being discounted as too visibly damaged to be of much use (barring the Scions, they didn't talk like that), but he needed to push past a lot of anxiety and self-worth issues to ask for help getting prosthetic parts.

He is hesitant to confess this to most, but he is afraid almost all of the time. He worries. He fears failing people now that he has them.

When he was tired enough of repeated failures that he took blame for, he asked for help clumsily. First with something small, washing his hair (amputee), then >

He, both of his sisters, and actually quite a few unrelated Viera he knew back then still have these odd dislikes of entering the large, off-center archival center but they all give different answers as to why.

(It's memory fuckery, it's all of that nonsense, feels bad!!)

His cover story (the crummy one he got) was that it was an accidental swing with a botany axe by another young Viera who didn't get along with him, and that both were at fault, but that the other Viera was provoked first. He was told it would be "unbecoming to be too angry with her."

His mother gave him that as a show of obedience and a promise to keep him in line while her superiors assisted with altering the memory of how he got it on his end of things. It's stressful, sickening, he doesn't like it, but he can't remember.

Jury's out on if he ever does! Maybe I'll allow it.

Anyone looking at the guy littered with ugly scars might think it odd that that one out of all of them gives him such trouble, but it's nauseating to him -- and not for vanity reasons. He doesn't know, but it's the body kind of yearning & remembering where his mind doesn't quite get there, >>

He can stand to look at the scars on his neck and even his arm, but he cannot tolerate looking at his eye and keeps it covered. His explanation for that one doesn't make sense but is all he has to work with, and curious as he is, he can't think of looking into it further.

>> more about tampering with how he has to use his own aether due to tipping the balance of it. He can still do it, it just required working at it to get a feel for his new baseline.

The one that hurts him more inexplicably (to him!) is his the comparably superficial scar over his eye.
