on settling into somarium

I'm..surprised at the amount of strange things here, but--the people here are truly kind. I'm grateful.
Already with a place to live and people who would like to make memories with me. I..had not expected that.
I suppose..--well---um..[Spit it out Yuna! She glances down at her hands before she looks up]

Do you think--the others might come someday? I'm not sure of the dangers of this place seeing as I've just arrived--but I admit..being without my guardians--my friends is a little different. I suppose it's a selfish request isn't it..

But I'll be alright. There must be..some sort of reason why I'm here, isn't there? Either way, I will manage. I'll be alright.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be with friends. I don't think it's selfish at all!

[That's pure Yuna for you: she'll always be alright, she'll always be smiling. Tidus thinks he's known her long enough by now to tell the difference between a smile for her and a Smile]

[a small laugh]
That's true, I know but--if it's dangerous here then--I wouldn't want you all to be subject to it, you know?

It can't be any more dangerous than working guardian duty. Once you got that covered, everything else should be easy, right?

I suppose that's true. But despite that it really is an interesting place. There is a great big castle --and the world is made up of dreams..

[That's the smile he's looking for - Yuna has a way of just lighting up the place when she does that and not the other one. Tidus grins back]

Dreams, huh? See anything cool?

Well--I can't say for sure just yet, but all sorts of people from different worlds are here. [except that one time she got hit on the head by a lollipop. :( ]

Apparently people can broadcast their dreams on this strange sort of machina.

[Yuna; living lollipops-to-the-head magnet?]

Wow! Sounds like some place! [He whistles] Machina like that must be huge.

[IT WAS FF7 CID. SHE FELL RIGHT OVER. :( I laughed. ]

Oh, no it fits right in your hand! Like this! [she makes a shape with her hands, sleeves whipping with the movements]
And you press this button and see all sorts of dreams! Some of them are sad..but there are also many wonderful things you can learn about other people.

[That sounds kinda like an awesomely sad mental picture]

That small, huh? [Tidus leans forward to take a look and tries to picture Yuna being a dream machina whiz] I'll bet! So you hit that and you've got two hundred dream channels right there.

[It really is. But it's Yuna, you know. ]

Exactly! Oh I never thought of it like that before! If Rikku were here I'm sure she'd figure it out by now..

What about using the dreams to see if you could find Rikku?

[Science = not one of Tidus's strong points but there's some logic in there somewhere]

You're right! I could try to find all of you that way!

There you go! Tell me how it goes, okay? I bet they'll come running once they figure out how to work with the dream thing.

Yes..I will. [she offers a shy smile]
And you? Are..you going anywhere?

Me? Nah, not just yet. Still getting the hang of things, y'know? [He believes Yuna will totally find the others - she's like a magnet]

That's my, Yunie! Everything will be a-okay, you'll see. But if anyone is being a big meanie to you, I'll take care of them for ya.

[She's going to blink at you, Rikku. You look..very different. But she's just going to hide that with a warm smile. ]

I know. Thank you, Rikku. How are you doing, by the way? I hope it's not too selfish to be glad you're here with me as well!

[And you look familiar, Yuna. But in a good way. It's nice to see something familiar.]

Oh you know me, causing trouble and having fun as usual. I'm trying to convince my mun to play with me more but she's so busy lately! Not at all - I miss you too, Yunie! I think I've been where you are before though. They had interesting machina.

That sounds just like you. I hope you're being careful. [lightly said, she does worry about her cousin. :> she blinks in surprise]

You've been here too? When? Oh I didn't miss you did I..ohh!

Hehe, of course I'm being careful! You don't have to worry about me!

It was a while ago - you and Paine and Tidus were there too! But you were...hehe, a little different. A little older too. My mun says she's thinking about bringing me back and then we can be together again!

I suppose I will always worry anyway. [a slight giggle, before she tilts her head. ]

..Paine? I don't think I've heard of them before..--did we meet them in Somarium, Rikku? [that part about being together again does brighten her face enough for her to quickly move past the question]

Oh really? She'd consider? That's..I'm not sure how safe this place is, but to have you with me Rikku--I'd be really happy.

Awe, now you're making me feel bad for doing that, Yunie! I'm the last thing that you should be worrying about.

Oops! [She lets out a little giggle before sticking out her tongue.] Nope! We met her in Spira. You haven't met Paine yet! But don't worry, you'll meet her soon and you'll love her! She's a little quiet but really nice.

[You're gonna make her tear up, Yuna. She gives her cousin a smile before laughing and giving her a hug.] I'd be super duper happy to be with you again too, Yunie. I'll tell my munnie to get her butt into gear! But hey! Maybe our other friends will show up.

Oh that wasn't my intention--[she immediately starts to murmur an 'I'm sorry' before blinking at the mention of Paine. ]

I'd..I'd like to meet her. She must be a wonderful friend to both of us. I suppose until I meet her I'll have you thank her for me, if that's alrig--[Oh hello hug. Yuna just blinks before she gently hugs her back, smiling warmly]

Yes..I'll--be hoping that some of us do appear. I'd like to see them.

She really is! I don't think we would be really good friends if she weren't. Oh, I can't wait for you to see what all kinds of adventures we go on! You'll have so much fun, Yunie, you'll see.

They have to! They can't leave us alone forever, ya know? They can't! They'll be in big trouble if they do that!

Adventures--? But..Rikku..what about the pilgrimage? [Yuna looks a little somber and a bit guarded. Rikku how did you drag her off from Pilgrimage Road? :U]

Yes, we'll um..have to give them quite the scolding!

Oh, you're from that time! [Rikku's about to say something but then realizes that - wouldn't there be some punishment for her telling Yuna things that have already happened?] Let's just say that all's well that ends well and we get to have adventures after the pilgrimage!

[She lets out a gleeful laugh.] Can you imagine us scolding Kimhari or Auron?

But--[she folds her hands into her sleeves, frowning a little. Rikku knows but..it's very gently said]
Rikku..--Spira--how is Spira? I'd imagine--if I finished the pilgrimage--[ she just glances down at her feet]
I..well, I wouldn't be here.

[that breaks off with the sudden mental image and she can't help but manage a small giggle]

Oh but I could never scold Sir Auron or Kimahri!

[Oh, Spira. How is she supposed to explain this to her cousin without totally breaking her brain?]

We're you're guardians! We protected you and figured out a way to save you and Spira. Give us a little credit, won't ya?

I think I'd be more scared of Grumpy Pants than Kimahri any day!

O-of course..then in that case, I thank you. [she looks baffled. she's too sweet to look skeptical so she just offers a strained smiled before she loses it with that explanation]

He isn't that grumpy, is he?

Gonna go with pre-FFX ending for Tidus, if that's cool :3

Totally okay! She's pre-ending too. :)
