One thing I did notice though, was that Tidus seemed like he was looking towards me when Lulu was berating Wakka about Chappu. He would probably ask me about it, since I didn't react as bad to it. Eh, if he asks, I'll probably tell him what happened. Who knows though, it seemed like Tidus was a friend to me, but still was a bit distant. That would probably change soon enough though. While I was walking up the stairs I was trying to figure out how I was going to get my hands on some machina so I could make that Inn that I analyzed at Kilika port. I'll probably have to wait until the Al Bhed attempt to capture Yuna. I'll probably let it happen, but have a bunch of summons protecting her at the same time. Just so I could grind those machines. If I freeze them completely, that might make them stop functioning, and I could just disassemble them, and put the parts in my inventory. I might be able to make a camera with a recording function too. I do need one for future purposes, also I need to improve my hacking as well, and figure out a way to broadcast anywhere. I'll get it done though. One of the biggest things I am thankful for is the fact that the story will not progress if I don't want it to, and time will not move in the world. Well, time will move for me, and my party, if I don't leave them behind. But not the world at large, or events that are happening. So I could theoretically go back to the forest, grind, and come back to the temple, with nobody being none the wiser. Sadly there really isn't anything I need from the forest, and I don't have the fabled Gamer's mind/body, so I can get tired, physically and mentally.
With that thought, I continued on walking. Eventually we reached the entrance of the temple. The Luca Goers came out and started gloating to Wakka, Tidus, and the rest of the Aurochs about them never losing. I just tuned them out. Honestly, I might get into blitzball myself at some point, just to experience it. Eventually they walked away, and we headed into the temple. Wakka and Tidus started praying at the statue of Lord Ohalland for victory. Once they were finished, the summoner Dona came out of the sanctum of the summoner. This is another thing that thankfully will be avoided. Now that Tidus is a guardian, he won't have to be manhandled by Dona's guardian.
[3rd Person POV]
Yuna introduced herself to the summoner named Dona. Dona however just casually returned the introduction, and started to talk badly about the fact that Yuna had several guardians, with her saying that she only needed one. She then started disrespecting Yuna, talking about how her father did better. Dona and Barthello, her guardian, quieted down though, when the temple got so cold that it felt like it was below zero. The ground started to freeze, and the air started to fog. Dona and Barthello looked in fear at the center of this, which was Yole. He was not happy at Dona just blatantly disrespecting Yuna for being herself.
"You do what you want. Barthello, were leaving. Quickly!" Dona and Barthello ran out of the temple at a rapid pace. By the time they left, the temple returned to its normal temperature, and the ice disappeared as if it was no longer there. Wakka and Tidus just laughed at the two of them that ran off, while everyone else just smirked at what happened. Once everything settled down, everyone in the party gathered to head into the cloister of trials.
[Back To Yole's Pov}
I chuckled when I saw the two of them wimp out from a little change in temperature. While I couldn't hurt my enemies, that didn't mean I couldn't change the environment around them. The party went through the door, to the elevator that goes to the cloister of trials. Since Tidus was officially a guardian, he came with us. Duer to this, we breezed through the trials, since there were so many of us to help figure things out. And we were eventually at the inner sanctum of the temple. Yuna went inside to commune with the Aeon, and the rest of us waited outside. With the time given to me, I sat on the ground and browsed through my inventory to take stock of everything we had. We were good with food, had plenty of water, and more could be made by Lulu through magic. I have all the materials I need for the inn, except some more wood, and the machina. Everything seemed to be in place, so I pulled out a pillow, and took a nap. Lulu just played with my hair, Tidus and Wakka were talking to each other, and Kimahri was Kimahri.
It took an hour or so, but eventually, the door to the inner sanctum slowly opened, and I woke up. I stood up and paid attention as Yuna slowly walked out of the place, looking very exhausted. Wakka and Kimahri helped her stay up so she wouldn't fall over. After that, we headed out of the temple. As we were walking out, the people of the temple gathered around to wave Yuna off, and I saw Tidus was having his flashback to his home. From the outside perspective, it just looked like he was staring into space, forgetting about everything else. Once we were headed down the stairs of the temple, Tidus and Yuna stopped to talk to each other for a bit. Eventually getting to the point of Tidus not really knowing what he wants to do, outside of being Yuna's guardian. I chuckled a bit at remembering what he was going to do next. Soon enough, we all heard him yell to the top of his lungs. I was still chuckling, while walking down the stairs, but everyone else stopped for a second. With that little hiccup out of the way, we continued back into the Kilika Forest.
Now, while I could grind some more in the forest, I decided not to and wanted to wait until we would start traveling the world to explore the further depths, because I was not ready, and no amount of grinding would get me ready just yet. At least, no amount of grinding here would. What I wanted to do though, was stop by a shop at the port, and see if they had any leftover machina, or some dumped somewhere. By the time I asked, I found out that they did have a good amount of machina that was scraped, and some that was in ok condition. I purchased all of it at a cheap price since they saw it as trash anyway. Along with a large amount of wood. And I started crafting the inn now that I had enough materials for it. It would still need to be powered though, but I'm sure I could do that once I am able to use the thunder/lightning element. Lulu could handle that if I don't reach that point before we need to use it. For now, I'll keep it a surprise. Once we got back on the ship, I set out an area on the ship to start tinkering with the leftover machina to try and make a camera, and a computer. I focused on the computer first, because I could use the computer to program any future machines I make out of machina. Lulu decided to watch me. while reading a book.
I worked well into the afternoon, and eventually I had a working computer. Granted, it wasn't that great, but it was still better than a lot in my old world. So it would get the job done. Next I set out to create a satellite dish to connect to the computer, so I could hack into any device across Spira. The game never really depicted anyone that was capable of this feat or even trying, so I doubt their security systems were very good. I still decided to be careful though. Once I finished the satellite dish, I would try hacking into smaller villages first, then move to the cities, and eventually I would work towards the capital, and the Al Bhed's 'Home'. Night time hit, and I was halfway through working out the camera, and how it would broadcast, when Lulu tapped me on the shoulder, and pointed at the sky.
"It's about time we get some rest. I don't want you wearing yourself out too much. I know you love to tinker with things, but it can wait until tomorrow." My charge decided to drag me away from my crafting, after it was all put away in my inventory. It was good that she did though, because I felt pretty damn tired. I did see Tidus starting to do the Jecht shot though, so I wanted to see it in person. Lulu pulled my hand harder until I pointed at what Tidus was doing. She just sighed, and we watched from a distance as he pulled off the Jecht shot on the first try. After he did the shot, Lulu pulled my wrist again, and I went along with it this time. It was time to get some rest, and I saw what I needed to. I left Yuna to talk to Tidus about her past with Jecht. This part is lined up with cannon. By the time I got to my room, Lulu was already lying down and waiting for me. We snuggled up together that night, and rested for the next day.
