 Though the twins spoke little to her, Nomin found herself making sure that they were at least well taken care of and watched over -- a certain protectiveness arising due to seeing how young they looked, and the fact that they were venturing alone. They went their separate ways, however, once they finally crossed the border of Thanalan and arrived in Gridania. As Nomin explored Gridania and was directed toward the Carline Canopy, she was often confused for an Adventurer. This seemed to have been in part due to the fact that she openly carried her weapons around with her and was very clearly not native to the land. Though the twins spoke little to her, Nomin found herself making sure that they were at least well taken care of and watched over -- a certain protectiveness arising due to seeing how young they looked, and the fact that they were venturing alone.

-Before Nomin could register with the Carpenters' Guild, she was urged to first register with one of either the Lancers', Conjurers', or Archers' Guilds by Mother Miounne. Nomin did as she was asked, opting for the Lancers' Guild and becoming acquainted with the guild master, Ywain Deepwell. Though Nomin disagreed with some of the views on a surface level that Ywain posited, Nomin challenged his statements, earning what seemed to be a modicum of respect upon these first impressions of one another.+Before Nomin could register with the Carpenters' Guild, she was urged to first register with one of either the Lancers', Conjurers', or Archers' Guilds by Mother Miounne.

Though Nomin disagreed with some of the views on a surface level that Ywain posited, Nomin challenged his statements, earning what seemed to be a modicum of respect upon these first impressions of one another. So started her continued training in honing her art with the lance as she progressed and did a number of menial tasks about Gridania and the Black Shroud before Miounne gave her permission to seek out the Disciple of Hand and Land guilds within the city.

 +With Nomin's many deeds and merits that earned her the attention of Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna, she became an envoy of Gridania and was set to embark on a trip to the other city-states in order to bring Kan-E-Senna's letters to Merlwyb Boefhiswyn and Raubahn Aldynn. This allowed Nomin the chance to see more of Eorzea and what it had to offer in terms of people, cultures, and food -- which was all appreciated as much as seeing new vistas for herself. When she eventually returned to Gridania, Nomin made the acquaintance of a scholarly miqo'to who said she was from the island nation of Sharlayan, Lorha Keipah.

 //"... Of course I'm upset. This was the last thing I wanted to be doing, and yet here I am. A marionette for more than one party that would use me for what I can give them. Were it not for the events of Ul'dah and our current status within Eorzea, I'd not entertain this excursion, let alone with that damned dragoon."// //"... Of course I'm upset.

 +Cold, feeling betrayed, and only in the company of Tatatu and Alphinaud, Nomin reluctantly sought sanctuary with Haurchefant's aid in Ishgard, where their allegiance remained largely with themselves rather than the rest of Eorzea. Thanks to Haurchefant, Nomin could take some solace in the fact that both Alphinaud and Tataru could remain safe within the walls of Ishgard rather than wrongfully convicted for crimes they had no part of in Ul'dah.

 Though romantically together and later married, both Nomin and Estinien had a very rocky start to what their relationship is now. Originally, Nomin had reluctantly agreed to help find and bring back Estinien more as a favor to Ywain and his positive relationship with Alberic more than as a favor to Ishgard and Alberic himself. Their initial meeting had not gone as planned, especially with Estinien giving Nomin barely any time to interject nor have a say within their brief encounter before the Eye of Nidhogg that he possessed reacted to her presence and caused him to leave just as quickly as he appeared. Though romantically together and later married, both Nomin and Estinien had a very rocky start to what their relationship is now.

 They would not meet again until the battle at Ghimlyt Dark. Having spied a fallen Nomin, Estinien fended off what would have been a fatal blow from the visage of Zenos. Once Zenos departed, Estinien plucked Nomin from the battlefield, getting her to safety. In her delirium, she vaguely made out being carried by Estinien and having a discussion with her. Most of her memories were muddy, and she mostly remembers waking up in Ishgard under Aymeric's care. This is where she was told by Aymeric that Estinien was indeed the one who demanded her safety, and her memories started to solidify the events of the aftermath. They would not meet again until the battle at Ghimlyt Dark.

-Left to contemplate this and her own feelings regarding the matter, Nomin did her best to brush it off. Only when Nomin was whisked away to the First did she dwell on the events further, thoughts of Estinien and her being with him plaguing her mind during her downtime. Having done her best to prevent these thoughts from interfering with her duty on the First, it was when she returned to the Source that Nomin felt her heart flutter when she saw Estinien once more. She was glad that she could see him again, having realized that he was perhaps one of the only people who could see and understand her -- what experiences she went through and had shape her.+Left to contemplate this and her own feelings regarding the matter, Nomin did her best to brush it off.

Following their reunion in Mor Dhona, the friendship that Nomin and Estinien nurtured began to slowly blossom into something a little deeper. 
 + 
 +By the time preparation for traveling out to the edge of the universe had been set in motion, the night that Estinien approached Nomin the night before their voyage was the night that Nomin stopped him from leaving. Deciding that she could not allow him to slip through her fingers after realizing that she had fallen in love with him, Nomin confessed all her feelings to him. Though met with the question on if she was sure if she wanted to spend her life with him, Nomin declared 'yes,' sealing the start of their romantic relationship with one another.
