[action : Open to people in Luca.]

[knowshermachina.livejournal.com]

[There is an Al'Bhed woman running through Luca from the airship port to the dock, severely underdressed for anything resembling winter (although she has a scarf). She is dodging through whatever gets in her way but she could be waylaid along her route.]

[Eventually she reaches the docks and stops, peering around until she spots Tidus's ship before bounding to it, clearing the sides in one smooth leap.]

Tidus! Where are you?

[Auron sees the girl zip by quickly en route to some place and begins to follow her as fast as he could.]

Rikku!

[He calls out to her, hoping that she hears him.]

Auron!

[He grunts loudly at the violent expression of affection, hugging her back lightly and with a twinge of awkwardness.]

Are you in trouble already? [He says this with a bit of a grin.]

[action]

[knowshermachina.livejournal.com]

No, not in trouble. Yet.

But...Yunie's gone. And Tidus looked so lost on that video so I came to see him.

[action]

[unsentmonk.livejournal.com]

Yes, I saw. I visited but... he was obviously not himself.

[action]

[knowshermachina.livejournal.com]

yeah...I kinda figured, ya know? 'cause they're just so...so...



It's not fair. They should both just get to be happy here.

Those who deserve happiness rarely receive it. When did the two meet exactly?

Up here. [The voice comes from much higher up than Rikku's position on the deck - Tidus has climbed into the rigging and up the mast in order to try and get some work done on some of the lines. It's busy work, something to keep him preoccupied, but at least he's doing something.] Hey.

[He doesn't sound as depressed as he did on his announcement, but he does still sound kind of worn out. He doesn't sleep well anymore without her around.]

[knowshermachina.livejournal.com]

I'm coming up there.

[If anyone in their crew could... Tidus has also rigged some helpful ropes to get himself up there, which she can probably use more easily.]

Just watch your step, I'm scrubbing down the yards and stuff.

[He's not running away, though.]

[Action]

[knowshermachina.livejournal.com]

'm sorry.

[Very, very few people could get away with that. Most of them had names beginning with R. Thankfully, she's one of them, and Tidus returns her hug, although a little more awkward than her.]

Yeah... I am too. [And he looks up at the mast as if looking for something, then back at Rikku.] But she'd want us to keep smiling, you know?

[He's kind of doing a sucky job at that at the moment, but he's doing better than the severe depression he went into the day she vanished.]
