Aboard the Airship~

Mana: *has set up a table with a parasol and some snacks, which she has taken to enjoy for herself* Oh hello Rikku~ I've been waiting for you. *holds out a cookie* Snacks~? ^w^

Rikku: It..... It's not.... fair.... your legs... don't have far.... to move!
*Rikku stands up straight, shaking off her exhaustion*

Mana: *looks indignant* Not true! I have to walk twice as fast to keep up with one stride of yours! *sniffs, but has a smile on her face* You're what we would call a sore loser slowpoke, Rikku~

*Rikku stamps her foot*
Rikku: I am not!
*Rikku stomps angrily over to the railings on the sides of the deck, but she drops the aggravation quickly*
Rikku: Mana! Look! You can see the big hole where Lake Macalania used to be~
*Rikku points over the edge, where [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]*

Mana: *goes over to see what Rikku's talking about and looks in surprise* Used to? What happened to it?

*Rikku scratches her cheek*
Rikku: We ah... kind of broke it. ^v^;

Mana: ... *looks at Rikku* How do you break a lake?

Rikku: It's a looong story.
*Rikku dances around the subject by pointing attention to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]*
Rikku: Look! The Macalania Woods~!

Mana: Ah! *nearly jumps off the rails of the ship* There he is again! That blond haired kid!

Rikku: You saw him!?
*Rikku seems excited, but then realizes what she meant*
Rikku: Oh.
*She leans back*
Rikku: Yeah, well, that does make sense. After all, this is where he told Yunie how he felt about her~

Mana: *looks a bit disappointed at the idea that it's only a vision, but looks at Rikku curiously* Really? So... they were a couple, I imagine?

Rikku: Yeah, pretty much~
*Rikku just stares out into the woods as they pass by*
Rikku: ....He disappeared not too long afterwards.... once we beat Sin.
*She giggles*
Rikku: But they were cute together, so I don't think Yunie regrets it.

Mana: *giggles as well, staring out at the lake* Hmm... Better to have loved and lost than to never love at all, huh? *looks at Rikku* Hey, Rikku, what was his name?

Rikku: His name?
*Rikku laughs*
Rikku: We never really say it, do we? His name was-
*Choose a name~*
Rikku: -Tidus. Pretty weird name, huh~?

Mana: Hmm... A little, yeah~ *looks back at the passing lake* Then again, my name can be pretty weird, too.

Rikku: What, Mana? I think it's a pretty name~
*Rikku sits and sticks her legs unsafely through the railguards. A little bit below them, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]*

Mana: Thanks~ *looks down* What's that place?

Rikku: Huh?
*Rikku looks down*
Rikku: Oh, that's Bevelle. It's Spira's biggest city, and it's also Yunie's hometown~

Mana: Ah, really? What can you find there?

Rikku: Not much~ The New Yevon-Division of the Spira Restoration Something-or-Other is based here.
*Rikku shades her eyes with her hands and excitedly points to the top of the highest building*
Rikku: Oh! But right there, on that altar, that's where Seymour tried to make Yunie marry him~ Talk about gross~!

Mana: ... *turns to Rikku with a disgusted expression* What.

Rikku: He's a nut~
*Rikku leans back*
Rikku: But there went Tidus, hero of the day, and fought his way to save Yunie~

Mana: *grins as she looks out back at the view* Sounds like a great boyfriend~ *her smile seems a little longing as she looks out* That'd be nice, huh? Having someone special like that to rely on...

*Rikku smirks at her, eyes lowered, in a teasing manner*
Rikku: Heeeey, you'll find someone like that~
*She prods Mana's ear lightly*
Rikku: Then you can bring him to Macalania and tell him how you really feel~

Mana: *blushes at the thought and swats at Rikku's hand* Riiiikkuuuu!! *hops on each foot, switching every time* D-Don't say such things!! >o<
