or; taking what happened to the sahagin high priest to it's (il)logical conclusion

Meet Mhyna. A relatively ordinary Miqo'te hailing from Meracydia, journeying to Eorzea due to a series of prophetic dreams.

Also, meet Tasset. An indentured pit-fighter known more commonly by the moniker of "The Mad Miqo'te".

As Mhyna is travelling to Ul'dah to learn weaving, Tasset is being murdered - mostly because she's too good at fighting, but all because Teledji Adeleji doesn't want any possible witnesses to his (hostile) takeover of fellow Ul'dahn noble Neru Nerinerin's business interests.

Hydaelyn, seeing that one of her champions is soon to be executed, nudges the rapidly disintegrating aetherial imprint into Mhyna's slumbering, undefended body - leading to the opening cutscene of 'Hear, Feel, Think'.

c1 - Attune. The overlaying of souls, and the chaos of Ul'dah. Tasset learns to share. Mhyna learns that the Mothercrystal has a weird sense of humour.

c2 - Harder Than Rock. Tasset's past experiences with pugilism show themselves in unexpected ways. Mhyna buys an eyepatch. Hamon is oblivious.

c3 - First Steps. Mhyna & Tasset explore Ul'dah and its immediate surrounds. Chocobos are petted. Hemp is woven.

c4 - Burning up the Quarter Malm. Mhyna & Tasset come to an agreement. A handsome rogue is encountered. A sultana is saved.

c5 - The Spirit is Willing. Hamon's failings are exposed. Tasset is annoyed. Mhyna takes up the pick as a way to tire the body without resorting to violence.

c6 - Keeping the Spirit Alive. Hamon is cheered up. Selling copper ore leads to a chance encounter with an apprentice goldsmith. Tasset has a minor breakdown.

c7 - Jitter. Tired of being confined to Ul'dah, Mhyna Tasset strikes out to Horizon in an effort to quell Tasset's unease.
