The fear is born out of the subtle hints that have been dropped now and then about what happens to those who fail to follow her instructions. Whether there is anything to actually fear he knows not, and to be honest he'd like to keep it that way. That said he does trust her enough to have brought Avery to give her a check up during Avery's pregnancy. He finds her presence soothing, a quality that he believes she has most likely cultivated as a result of her chosen profession.</div> |

This combined with how little he knows of the man keeps Emrys at bay for the most part, and keeps his curiosity completely in check. He does at least respect Zan, after having seen him in action and having been healed by his spells.

Though he obviously could not make a decision for her he did offer his knowledge should she decide the path she wanted to pursue, when she was ready to pursue it.

Emrys ~ “Not all those who wander are lost” - J.R.R Tolkien, Lord of the Rings ~
Having abandoned his home land of Sharlayan Emrys has been wandering the whole of Eorzea for the last eight years. During this time he made extensive notes on his observation of the people of Eorzea and the events that he witnessed, not to mention all of his notes of the ruins he spent time exploring. In fact if there was one thing he made sure to do during his time on the road it was to explore every ruin he could get permission to enter. Yet he never once let any of this deter him from his real reason for abandoning his home and guardian back in the Old World. For all his curiosity about Eorzea and its history his main purpose even to this day remains the same. He wishes to find out what happened to his father when he disappeared nearly two and a half decades ago when leaving for Ala Mhigo to witness the events unfolding around the King of Ruin and the fall of Ala Mhigo. The most recent of his leads led him to come into contact with a small group of Sharlayans living in La Noscea, which was a rather dreadful first meeting. Yet this set into motion a series of events that has led to him once more reintegrating himself back into society and giving up his wandering ways. Many things have happened since then, and those who know him best have seen a steady change in the man. Smiling more often than he did before Emrys is quite content with his life that he leads out of the small home he shares with Y'avery Tryska in the Lavender Beds. Now the proud father of twins Emrys is trying to adjust to the life of a father while balancing his duties as the Head Curator for The Arcane Circle's Collegia.
While Emrys detests meaningless fights he has no issues taking up arms when the situation arises. In fact one of the things he laments the most is that all of his knowledge and skills are honed for use in battle. He's light on his feet allowing him to navigate a battlefield without any real issue, making him prefer fighting up close and personal. This holds true even while he is casting spells, in fact he specializes in being able to cast spells at point blank rage for a much harsher level of damage. In addition he almost always fights in tandem with his carbuncle, Aodh, and the pair work together flawlessly. The combination of the two makes Emrys a force to be reckoned with even though many seem to doubt the strength of arcanima for reasons beyond his knowing. Arcanima: Arcanima is what Emrys will always rely on when things become violent. Having been trained in this art from a young age, and even then would have been considered a prodigy if his heritage wouldn't have been holding him back. When in a fight Emrys will always begin by chipping away at his opponent, slowing them down and making them weaker before he begins to drive the bigger hits home. This is done through a combination of using spells that inflict illness, as well as draining away his opponent's aether. If it is someone who has truly earned his ire this will take even longer as he starts to toy with them until they can no longer move, and only then will he finish them off. There are times though where he will use spells that seem to have for more strength to them than one would assume to see coming from an Arcanist, though such are far fewer than a Thaumaturge would have on hand. Thaumaturgy: While he will never readily admit it Emrys is actually fairly familiar with Thaumaturgy to the point he actively wears a focus he never uses. This is a result of his upbringing as his Guardian is a thaumaturge of considerable strength and made certain that his charge was trained in its use. Due to the fact that he doesn't utilize it often, nor did he dedicate much time to learning it he is no where near as capable with it as he is his arcanima. In fact this is something that is used in emergencies as an absolute last resource. Fencing: During his childhood years Emrys took up fencing as a means of physical conditioning, as well as just a hobby for the moments he wasn't in class. His skill with a rapier is lacking and it remains a completely impractical form of combat for him to use in a serious fight. That said he is able to fall back on it if there ever is a need for him to do so, he'll just end up getting extremely injured in the process.
Many who meet Emrys will inevitably run into his carbuncle Aodh at some point or another. In fact the carbuncle is in the man's presence more often than not which makes him a rather important part of of Emrys' life. Emrys has had Aodh since his early days of arcanima when he was a child, having summoned the creature while messing around with a tome that his guardian had. Adoh is strong willed, protective, and quite a bit on the violent side of things when he needs to be. There is no doubt this carbuncle can easily be seen as a small seething red ball of fury when the moment calls for it, and that normally ends up in something being mauled or slaughtered. Normally he prefers not to be the center of attention and is very distrustful of people at first. The other very noticeable thing is that where Emrys is very guarded with his emotions Aodh tends to be very open and helps keep his caster in check on that particular front. Ways to Earn Approval: While he may seem hard to befriend, getting on Aodh's good side is actually quite easy. The first and foremost way to do so is to feed into his rather considerable ego, this gives one a very good impression in the carbuncle's eyes. Another one is to assist him in any mischief he may be up to which is quite often. Whether it is offering him liquor that he can't handle, playing along with pranks he is playing on Emrys, or just letting him get into things he shouldn't be. There is also an even bigger bonus for those that share their sweets with him. Ways to Earn Ire: This is far easier to do than it is to actually win him over as he is very temperamental. Anyone treating him like nothing more than a pet or a stuffed animal will swiftly find out how bad of an idea that is, or how much he dislikes it. Also treating him like he is something that is weak and fragile will also cause this as pride is something that he is extremely big on. Aside from this mistreating Emrys, those close to Emrys, or picking on those unable to defend themselves. Combat: Aodh's way of fighting is very forward and completely brutal. True to the gem he is summoned for he exudes massive amounts of strength and can easily take down anything quite larger than himself or even Emrys just by using said strength. He will quite literally rip chunks out of whatever it is he is fighting, though he prefers to go for the eyes or the throat right away. In addition to the pure physical strength he can utilize he also is able to use fire based aether, though this is far less common but still extremely effective. Normal use of this kind of aether is generally by accenting his own attacks with it.
