    Summary

    Aymeric’s face turns white. ‘I had heard… stories but I always thought they were hearsay. Tales to scare children.’

    Estinien laughs weakly, because he’s seen twenty seven summers and he’s fucking terrified. Aymeric’s jaw sets.

    ‘Well. ‘Tis a good thing I don’t scare so easily.'

    Summary

    The Orchid of Ul'dah is beautiful. Hypnotic. A bloom expertly cultivated in artifical soil and the city's everlasting bright lights. He has to make them believe the lie; that he lives like a king, rescued from the bitter cold of Skatay by his benevolent saviour.

    The second he starts to wilt, who knows what they'll do.
