Changing Jobs, as told by Siuan

I'm a Botanist at heart.  I prefer flowers, trees, herbs, even weeds over other two legged species.  If there are too many creatures around, I become very uncomfortable and begin to yearn for my green friends.  The exception is Vendeen.  She's been my best-friend since we were children running around in Gridania.  Unfortunately, our parents abandoned us when we needed them most and we forged a path for ourselves.  Vendeen has always looked out for me, and I've always made sure she stays grounded.  She has many friends whereas I talk to only a select few.  The "good" population of Eorzea frighten me.  I imagine at this point I don't need to go on to say I prefer being alone.  I think I've made my point.

However.  Ven does not agree that I should stay isolated.  Infact, as of late, she's pushed me to study an art I gave up years ago.

I am once again donning my shield and wand.  I laugh in the face of oversized Yarzons...right before they spit their nasty sticky breath at me and bind me to the spot.  Needless to say, I do not venture out on my own without Ven.  She keeps me safe....

 
If not alive.  My strength is obviously not magic, but Ven insists that I keep at it.  I think she's afraid for me.  The red sun continues to get closer.....
