Turns Out What He Wound Up With In The End Was A Lot Better Than An Empty House - Tumblr Posts

Starlight was one of the worst times in Ishgard. The rich were tucked away warm in their houses celebrating the coziness, while the rest got to count their fingers and see how many were still pink. 'Won't be a change for you to go blue, would it lad?' joked a man who'd been found dead of the cold the next day.

The strings of festive lights looked like a taunt, to Zardyn. They blocked out the light of the very stars, and left all still so very, very cold.

...He'd live in a nice warm house someday. All by himself. And it would be the best life ever.
