My dear Bohai will try to swindle you any chance he can get! He loves gil more than anything, especially since money is power. Despite him being such a little con artist, heโ€™s also quite a talented artisan and fighter.

i keep thinking about that high noon kat/sarah fic i want to writeโ€ฆ sarah and samira tagging along with the harbingersโ€ฆ the harbinger prophecy fulfilled, ushering in the end timesโ€ฆ something about kat the Outsider realizing she wants to face the end of the world with her new bounty hunterโ€ฆ etc etc

โ€œFortune.โ€

Sarah glanced up through her lashes as she continued working on re-lacing her boots.

โ€œHarbinger,โ€ she returned evenly, still not wholly willing to call Katarina by her chosen name. Still, it was kinder than some names sheโ€™d been called before.

Katarina studied her for a second, the way the low-rising sun caught glimmers in her pale hair, framing her grimly determined smile with a splintered golden halo. When at last Sarah lifted an expectant brow, Katarina forced herself into the present.

โ€œIโ€™ve a wager for you.โ€
Now both her brows raised, equal parts amusement and curiosity. Her laugh bubbled up incredulously from her throat. โ€œScarcely borne in the end of all things and already worried youโ€™ll be low on supply?โ€ She shook her head, smiling nonetheless. โ€œYouโ€™ve plenty of time yet, sweetheart. Go swindle somebody else.โ€

Katarina crouched down before her, forcing those pale blue eyes to meet hers proper. โ€œThe wager is for you, Fortune,โ€ she reiterated. โ€œYou could at least hear me out.โ€

Sarah squinted at her, studying the stern lines of her expression, thinking, thinking. โ€œFine, then,โ€ she said at last, expression smoothing into neutrality as she sat back, folding her arms expectantly. โ€œLetโ€™s hear it.โ€

โ€œI wager you donโ€™t have a home to go back to.โ€

She stiffened ever so slightly. Her expression didnโ€™t change. Katarina licked her dry, chapped lips and continued.

โ€œI wager you donโ€™t really even have a clan to go back to. And I wager youโ€™re scared shitless at the thought of facing up to the end of everything all by your lonesome.โ€
Those pale blue eyes, so pretty in their icy chill, met the burning embers of Katarinaโ€™s gaze without flinching. Katarina always liked that about her. Faced with the endโ€”unclear and tumultuous, but certain nonethelessโ€”and she faced it head-on, with little more than a tipped hat, a quirked brow, and a smile.

โ€œSuppose you were to win this gamble of yours,โ€ she said, leaning forward to rest her elbows on her splayed thighs. โ€œAs you outsiders love to play for the house, of course.โ€

A tiny smirk curled at the corner of Katarinaโ€™s blood-stained lips. โ€œOf course.โ€ Even that phrase, you outsiders, had ceased to sound like a curse on Sarahโ€™s lips.

โ€œWhat would the house get out of this arrangement?โ€

Katarina cocked her head. โ€œI want you.โ€

I hate the fact that they turned one game into three to swindle as much money from players as possible, 'flesh out' the characters to the point of bloat, and in typical final fantasy fashion, have an unnecessarily convoluted and confusing 'twist'.
