I do not know how many others have items you will be able to connect to, but charms that I have made? You. Myself. Alice, Grell, James, Flora, Vanessa, Hermione, the Brucolac, Vol'jin...
[ Delivered to Lumina's ranch will be a full-color framed drawing of chocobos in a field. Chaos and Hopscotch are visible, as are several pink butterflies. ]
[ Ariadne is a mess, clearly crying even though she's also clearly trying not to cry. She's holding on tight to an orange tabby cat who looks more than a little alarmed about this whole situation. ]
Lumina, can I ask a favor? I need to get to the Station as fast as I can.
[ You'd think she wouldn't be crying about it, but- well. Tears of relief, of joy, and of outright terror because she's still not certain that this is actually real. ]
[the note is simple, arriving at her ranch by bird.]
Lumina,
I do not know the state of your heart right now, but I do know that you wept as we all did.
[very loosely sketched is an area by the ruins of Caer Scima, things carefully labelled so as to give a general idea of where this is, and then a star at one point.]
She was buried here. A plant of vervain grows over the spot. If you did want to speak with her again, here she is safe.
[A few days later, Grell will find a hand-written note resting on her nightstand when she returns to her room in the evening. It just says 'Thanks, ~L' written in Lumina's quick, haphazard handwriting, and a small silver bell to put on whatever collar she has made for her chocobo chick.]
[Wherever Lumina may be near the beginning of July, she will get a most peculiar messenger bird visiting her. With the bird, there is a short message and some money from someone she probably hasn't thought about in quite a while.]
Dear Chocobo Queen,
While out doing a quest for me, a friend of mine discovered a small group of chocobos who were running free between the location of your ranch and the Station. Are you missing any? Or are those who you sold birds to missing any?
One blue one seems to have chosen to partner with Aengus so I have included money for her with this note. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you get them safely home.
[Diarmuid is surprised when half of the money is returned, but he can't help but smile. The return note is delivered by the same pudgy messenger bird as before.]
I am glad to know they are safe with you once again. Thank you for letting me keep her. Aengus has become very attached to her and he would be quite upset if she was taken away. Since I named the green one Aengus after my father, I decided to name the blue one Caer after my mother. It seemed like a good choice to me.
I know you said that green ones have healing magic. What do blue ones have? I have been watching her for sign of what it might be, but I haven't seen anything that would tell me one way or the other yet.
Sure, just don't tell anybody where you got it, I wouldn't want to be known for dealing with a seelie!
Blue chocobos are ice chocobos! They are pretty good with their magic...some of them can be kind of sneaky too. But that's not really a color thing. Still, watch when you sit down, or you might get a frozen butt.
[Diarmuid can't help but chuckle to himself at the reply. He had already planned on it since the last thing he wants is for any trouble to come her way. He is sure she is having more than enough of it considering what has been going on in Mair.]
Ice, hu? I will keep your warning in mind. The last thing I want is a frozen butt!
Is there anything I can help you with right now?

( she's been the the audiences that Lumina has, saw her after the death of the Jabberwock, after the fall of Mair. if there's anyone that might be best to help with this, well- Clarke's sure it's her. )
Hey, Lumina? It's Clarke, we met earlier in the year at the Festival of Shadow at Ariadne's spire.
