    Summary

    The Warrior of Light vowed to relearn what it felt like to belong to him. Commit to memory the lines in his hands; the way he smiled, or what made him blush. Learn everything about G'raha Tia that he'd missed out on in this lifetime - and confess his feelings, at last.

    Post-Shadowbringers. A companion fic to my other wolgraha oneshot "Here At Memory's End." Told from my Elezen WoL's point-of-view, this multi-chaptered fic will explore the blossoming romance they shared on the First. Spans from 5.0 to 5.3.

    Part of my "Promises Kept" wolgraha fic series.

    Summary

    It starts with a favor.

    Or a bath.

    Or, though you don't want to admit it, maybe it starts when those massive dossal gates slam shut on G’raha Tia's promise.

    It definitely does not start here, in a dilapidated room in Camp Broken Glass, with a depraved and desperate request even G'raha hesitates to accept.

    Summary

    For a fleeting moment you see the age in his eyes, tender and nostalgic as though he were the old man he once claimed to be, looking back upon misplaced yet beloved photographs of times long past.

    G'raha turns his arm to regard the arcane eye painted there. The deep hue is stark against the azure of his body. "I shall wash them off in the morning, but for now I enjoy being able to see my old markings again."

    "You seem more upset than anything," you counter cautiously, the unspoken question evident in your voice.

    "’Tis difficult to put into words. Memory is not always without mourning, and mourning is not always an act of grief." G'raha looks down into his tea, tracing a crystal finger along the curve of the ceramic mug. The faint scratching sound it makes is nearly deafening. "Tis good to remember how it felt to fly before I clipped my wings."
