I kneeled down once again to watch my moogle work. I was proud of myself. Between me and my lovable little moogle, we had managed to keep a plant alive for almost 2 months. I grinned as I watched him water it again.
We had tried for almost 3 years now to get one of these things to grow. Now that persistence is paying off. I had a little plant…ling. It wasn't much but I was proud. After all, I had succeeded at everything else I tried, be it the second attempt on for one and first time win on the other…

Kiayashi cracked open a wind crystal in the middle of the field, after having cleared the area of sheep and goblins. The versatile wind energies poured out and began to circle in front of her. She removed the Sheepskins from her bag, two of them, and allowed the wind energy to envelope them. They seemed to dance almost, and she nearly forgot what she was dealing with. After a few moments of spinning the energies into the skins, she stopped.
And a frown settled on her lips.
"Crap"
"Ha! You failed Midget!"
"Shut up Darkwind! First try isn't always successful! Besides, I have more of both, so I'll try again."
She then set to completing the task before her. Crafting a piece of Sheep's Wool from two Sheepskins…

Kiayashi settled outside her Mog House. She could craft one thing, and with a recipe from Darkwind, she would craft another. It wasn't really paying off, yet, but it was fun to see what all you could come up with.
She grinned and pulled a few Fire Crystals form her bag, followed by about eight Beastcoins; she had taken to habit of stealing them from the local Goblins and Quadavs. These eight however, were about to become a single object, she would make sure of it. She grasped one of the volatile Fire Crystals and cracked it, instantly feeling heat from it, and let the energies from it simmer in mid air while she grabbed four of the eight Beastcoins. She carefully began to work the energy of the crystal into the four large coins.
She managed to pull it off first shot this time, and created her first Bronze Ingot. A grin spread it's way across her face. Two crafts were under way to perfection…

I remembered my first attempts fondly then remembered the art I was now trying to master.
Gardening never was my forte, so this was asking for trouble. But I was proud of what little success I had.
Then I remembered…
I had a week long hunting trip with a few friends coming up in a few days…
It was my exhibitions that always killed my plants when I went of like that. I'd mean to go for two days, end up gone for six because I found something I could do better then someone else.
I frowned.
I knew I was going to come home to a dead plant… and just after I finally got one too.
Crap.
Next time.
I plan ahead.
Well, I finally got a little plant to grow on FFXI last night, then guess what. Weekends. I don't have game then. So my plant is going to be dead when i get back. And yeah, I tried to use Vana'Diel time. Failed probably. Anywho. Hope you liked it, short as it may be.
