Night
Auron finished watching as the thunder struck the barren land, which surrounded him. He had decided he should get some rest, it was the only thing that could stop him from thinking of the past. As he walked down the hall, he first came to Yuna's room, all was quiet inside, luckily. He hoped that the rest of her pilgrimage would go smoothly, but was sure there was no way of that really happening. He walked father, then thought about how inconsiderate he was of Rikku earlier, he wasn't one to apologize for things he said, but she had given up a lot becoming Yuna's guardian, and deserved something. Even he was afraid sometimes. He walked over to the door, right before he knocked he heard muffled talking inside. He then decided not to bother her now, it seemed as though she had a visitor, maybe he would talk to her later. He found his room at the end of the hall, and opened the door, inside were two beds, separated by a small nightstand, in the bed farthest from him slept Lulu, who, by now may have been asleep for several hours. He walked over to the bed closest, took off his jacket, and lay down. He tried to sleep, but there was one thing that had bothered him more than it used to. He thought about the past more now, after being to farplane. He wished he had gone in, he wished he could've have just looked to see if she were dead, but no, he decided to wait outside. "No way!" Rikku screeched as she started to laugh. Tidus was telling her about the weird stuff he would do as a kid. "I never once met my mother." Rikku had said, since they were on the topic of doing things to their mothers. "Oh." Tidus said, falling from his happiness. "It's not really anything, I never knew her, so it never hurt me to lose her." Rikku again turned to look at her lap. "It seems I continue to lose anyone who means anything to me." Tidus didn't know what to say, he knew he had to think of something fast, but.then it dawned on him, he didn't have to make anything up, just tell the truth. "Rikku?" "Yes?" She said looking over at him with tears in her eyes. "You won't lose everyone, because I'm not going anywhere, I'll never leave, I promise." He took her hand in his, and just looked at her with his soft eyes, then took her into a hug. He wanted her to feel happy and safe, he was just the one to make her feel that way.
The next morning.
Lulu was the first to wake, she tried very hard no to make any noise, she didn't know if Sir Auron was a light sleeper, or if he slept like the dead, but, just to be safe, she would continue with caution. She made it to the door , but right when she opened it, Wakka came bursting out of his room, slamming the door behind him, she then slammed hers, in an attempt to keep things quiet. "Morning Lu!" Wakka said, sounding quite cheerful. "Good morning, Wakka," Lulu said in her usual tone. "I'm going to get breakfast, ya know? Wanna come?" He looked like a child asking if he could get his favorite toy. She had to say yes. "Alright." She said starting down the hall.
Everyone was in the side room, at one of the five tables, waiting for Wakka, Lulu, and Auron. They all assumed that Auron would have come in with them, but no one had seen him since last night. "Have either of you seen Auron?" Rikku inquired. "I just saw him, as far as I know he's still asleep." Lulu said, sitting down. Wakka sat down next to her, picking up a menu. "I'm going to go see if he is okay." Yuna stated, standing up, she put the napkin that was on her lap back on the table and exited the dining room. "Why wouldn't he be okay?" Tidus asked, leaning back in his chair and putting his hands on the back of his head. "He seemed upset while we were in Guado, so, as usual, Yuna becomes worried that something is wrong." Lulu said rolling her eyes. Yuna was her best friend, but occasionally, she found her to be sickeningly sweet, like now. "She is the one who will take care of you if you ever were in any kind of distress." Lulu said, looking at Tidus, but not directing it towards him. "Yeah, you can count on her." Tidus said looking somewhat distant all of a sudden. Was his decision the right one? Was Rikku all that dependable, he would have to wait and see, as far as he knew she seemed like she was.
