Scenario: The Al Bhed ship is bumped by Sin, sending Rikku's new friend Tidus overboard.
"Tidus! Tidus!" Rikku cried, hanging onto the railing as she watched her new friend fall, bucked from the ship deck when Sin hit them moments earlier. She watched him sink and made to dive off the edge after him, but was caught by the men on deck. She struggled, arms flailing helplessly. Why couldn't they see? She needed to save Tidus!
"Ry Rikku, Sin um yod dnihi!" ("No Rikku, Sin is out there!") Brother cried, rushing over to her and clamping his arms firmly around her middle, dragging her from the railing. Despite the way she joked about
Brother being weak, he was anything but, and she found herself unable to make it back to the edge of the deck. Of course, knowing you can't get free doesn't mean you'll stop trying.
"But Tidus! Brother, we have to help him!" She yelled, trying to wiggle herself out of his grip, but he only tightened it.
"Zi ser miehsn wyh nul ewdih Sin ciefim!" ("We can search for him after Sin leaves!")
And they did, sending two man search partys into the water all around the ship, but there was no sign of the blonde. The others threw flowers in the ocean when they got back to shore, but Rikku had a feeling. She didn't believe Tidus was dead, and she was gonna find him.
"Frana fuimt ra pa?" ("Where would he be?") She said aloud, wondering where she should search first.
"Frana fuimt fru pa?" ("Where would who be?") Her friend Sey had come up behind her on the dock, helping to unload things from the ship onto the Sanubia sands.
"Tidus. E tuh'd drehg ra'c tayt." ("Tidus. I don't think he's dead.") She looked up at her friend hopefully, then back down at the map of Spira she'd laid out on a crate. Sey bent over to look closely at the map, then pointed at Luca, smiling benignly at her friend.
"Oui ouincamv dumt res ra cruimt ku du Luca. Ra'mm pa drana," ("You yourself told him he should go to Luca. He'll be there,") she pumped her arm in the air in an imitation of Rikku. "Tuh'd funno, oui'mm veht res." ("Don't worry, you'll find him.")
