The day started with me meeting Moshka in Limsa, where she told me that the Maelstrom required her to make a delivery of levinsilk. I looked through my supply and realized that I had converted it all to thunderyards silk the other day.
I took a solo trip out to Heritage Found and gathered from some of the lush vegetation patches. While I prayed I wasn't struck by lightning, the gathering of the tiny cocoons infused by the lightning element went quick.
Safely returning to Limsa, I delivered the levinsilk to Moshka, to which she turned them into her grand company and received her level 100 botany certification.
I departed for a while after that moment of celebration to visit a white mage who has been healing me. Today's session was longer than normal as she had to make sure her spells were making an impact on the ailment that's been siphoning my aether. I've been lucky, the pain has been subsiding on some days, which is better than the normal constant.
After my healing session, I returned home to Shirogane where Mosh tasked me with battle training Tater Gaga, a diva Lalafell who has a habit of either stomping on my feet or biting my finger... What I go through for these women is beyond the pale.
The roster of allies that we were matched with during our first few matches were filled with sprouts, while the Maelstrom and Adders both sent us their rising stars. I decided to use my greatsword and practice my Dark Knight abilities in the following matches, which proved highly successful. The rising stars on our opponent's side were wrangled up and quickly knocked out by my team.
The matches in frontline have felt unbalanced recently. I've been realizing that my own contribution to the team has been lacking because of it. I'll need to step it up after today and get back in a better headspace when training.
After training with Tater and Sucker, I finally was able to spend time with Moshka. We went gathering and hunting on her island.
We caught a few new *"babies"* that we will store in the pasture. After crafting a few traps, we had to go back and gather supplies so the workshop orders can continue for the rest of the week, as well as be there in the case we need to upgrade some of the production buildings.
After a hard day's work, we cuddled in bed and she told me stories about a book she had read. The book sounds like a good read, it had a lot of drama between great houses all in the pursuit of being the king... or queen.
