[He listens attentively, kind and non-judgmental as always. That definitely sounded like a problem. And...after all they'd done together, the sacrifice he'd made to give them all a future...it wasn't what he expected to hear either.

But he'd stop and think about this.]

Ah, so you're the one getting antsy. Can't say I'm surprised.

[A brief smile, then, but he's soon back to thinking it over.]

I tried not to think too hard about what you'd all be doing after I was gone, but...I guess I've gotta admit I hoped Yuna would enjoy being free too. Y'know, see the world, have some fun, maybe meet somebody who could be there for her when I couldn't anymore.

[Hell, this hurts. He thought he'd gotten over it already---apparently not. He had to bite his lip here.]

So I get being frustrated and worried about her, trust me. But...she's been through a lot, even without me up and vanishing on her, right? And apparently you guys did even more afterward. She probably just needs some quiet time---and I know she won't hold a grudge, Rikku. You'll see her and you'll make up.

But I guess how we're gonna use our lives has been chosen for us now, huh?

[cidsgirl]

( Her chuckle comes in the form of a light-hearted scoff )

I guess it's just hard for me to accept that her and I lead different lives now. She doesn't need guarding - or a role model, for that matter - anymore.

( Have a pout, Tidus. ) Or... it was hard. Now I just miss her.

Guess you're right, though. We've gotta step up our games in this place, figure things out, kick some butt, and look good doin' it.

[zanarkandian]

[Tidus listens as usual, gives her a supportive shoulder-pat, then pulls back with a wink.]

We're on it! But I think you're way ahead of me on looking good.

[He has shopped for new clothes. It...has not gone too well.]

[cidsgirl]

( Rikku laughs at that and gives the side of his arm a light, friendly punch. )

I'd be lyin' if I said it was easy! You'll learn someday. Perhaps I can teach you, young grasshopper.

[zanarkandian]

I think I'd like that. I haven't worn anything but my old blitz uniform for a long time---it's all kinda new to me.

[After a moment he realizes how that sounded.]

I mean I wash it, obviously! But it's my first time picking something else out in a while.

[cidsgirl]

( Rikku giggles in her palm )

Well, I should hope so! You're a star athlete, after all!

( She suddenly brightens as though a lightbulb flashes over her head ) Heeeeey! We should go shopping together one of these days! I wanna find something as cute as me.

[zanarkandian]

[Oh heck. He's just agreed to go shopping with a girl. This could be scary...but it's Rikku's she's always practical, right? He'll be fine.]

All right, let's do it!

[cidsgirl]

( This is the part where Rikku bumps a fist in the air and shimmies out some of that energy. )

Right-o!
