Rikku has more important things to worry about. Saving Yunie, for one thing. And the fact that Wakka hates her now that he's found out what she is, and Home being destroyed and the inevitable threat of Sin – and she could list three million more things that should hold a more heavy weight in her mind than the trivial thing that does.

For some reason, whether in the middle of a battle or lying down ready for sleep – the memory that fills her mind is that of Auron looking into her eyes, his hand on her face, and she cannot stop the memory from sending her into a spiral of fantasy.
