<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/75/Viera.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Lynn<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Hawks HQ<br/><strong>With:</strong>Everyone<br/><strong>Mentioned:</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/>It was nothing like the stories.  When Alexia fought her way through the seven suitors to claim her right to be with the one she loved, she didn't even pause.  True heroes didn't hesitate.<br/><br/>In a way, sure, that was true for her.  When the time had come, she acted instantly and hadn't even considered another path.  Now that the battle was over, though, with the long war moving ahead, she felt far less certain.<br/><br/>She knew, of course, that no other path lay ahead for her.  That should have made it easier.  She shouldn't have that nagging pang in her heart, not strong enough to matter but just loud enough not to be ignored, that she'd made a mistake that would cost her her life.<br/><br/>Obviously, though, she was the only one who felt that way, so it was better to hide it.  A male Viera had joined the group; wasn't that what she'd been searching for?  Maybe he was her one.  All she had to do was work up the courage to start talking to him...just as soon as her heart calmed down from all the excitement.<br/><br/>What if everything she hoped for was a lie and she wasn't really meant for a life of adventure?  It felt so stupid: she hadn't even hesitated during the battle, so why was everything hitting her now that it was over and the choices were made?<br/><br/>Lynn followed with the group in silence, doing her best to remember the long and winding way.  She shouldn't even have those kinds of thoughts; her long dream of getting to go on a grand adventure was finally at hand.<br/><br/>Apparently the romantic tales and dashing stories of the Hawks - at least the ones she heard - were exaggerated.  They needed help: that much was obvious.  They also deserved help, as did anyone who so openly gave of what little they had, even besides the noble cause hinted at by the Moogle.<br/><br/>If she didn't start speaking, though, they'd probably think she was brain damaged or something.  "The Queen is enslaved by dark sorcery?" she asked.  "I think it would help to hear all about that part."
