“Well, I do enjoy getting to pull it out again after so long. It’s like comfort food. Just tasting it again feels like home.” He giggles. “Granted, the effect is rather enhanced by getting to fight with the swords of peace for a change. Maybe the afterglow is addling me.”

"'Fight with the swords of peace'," he repeats with some amusement.

“… that’s not an idiom in Eorzean, is it? Not Hingan, either?”

"Nnnope," he says, popping the 'p'*. "It's very endearing, though."

* While it is unclear whether Eorzean has a 'p' in their equivalent of the word "nope", the translation convention used in this medium is such that the reader should assume that Red Fir is the kind of person who would have popped their 'p' in that "nope", and this will be reflected in other equivalent situations that would not be properly translated.

"But I could have sworn I've heard at least one Lominsan call it his sword, though. And the Ul'dahn gladiators constantly joke about their enemies being poorly equipped." He grumbles gently at the use of the word "endearing" and jams him forehead into Red Fir's shoulder, but doesn't comment directly on it.

"Calling it a sword is pretty universal. At least it's present in every language I speak. Of peace is new, though. Other languages treat it as war, and the receptive partner as the defeated party." He looks down between his legs then back up with a smirk. "Can't say I'm feeling very defeated right now."

Qana'to wrinkles his nose and chuckles. "See, this is why we split from the Seekers," he says, only half-joking. "There are a lot of sagas that describe sex after a fight, but its not like—actually," he pauses. "It's sort of the opposite in Ruhn Epocan's saga. She got a daughter by J'benha Tia after defeating him because he was the best male warrior she'd encountered."

"Maybe we should fight next time and the winner gets to decide who does what."

Qana'to regards him in silence for a moment. "So much for that intimidating Warrior-of-Light persona," he mutters with a smile. "Maybe we should. Get our names added to the wrestlers' epics."
