"Yu-... Via! Come on!" Tidus (or Cain) turned around to see her standing
there on the bridge, the sunlight catching her golden hair. He had to
shield his eyes. "You don't want to go, do you?"
"No but I have to. Zuke will get to Seymour soon. I'm gonna miss this place so much. You don't think we should go and see Rin?" she turned around and Tidus had to stop himself from kissing her. She had never looked so beautiful. He'd loved her for a long time but she'd only seen him as her best friend. Tidus hung his head.
"I think he knows. He'll have come round from the drink." [Oh Rin. How could you do that? For Tidus' sake, why couldn't you have just...] "Yu-.. Via! You ready now?"
"I think so." She smiled. He smiled. Yuna's smile was so contagious.
Tidus started to climb up the small rocky passage. Cool air whistled in through the gap from Gagazet. Yuna shivered and tried to get her footing.
"You okay down there?" called Tidus, very near the top.
"Um, yes! [If I'm supposed to be shivering this much, I'm cool.]"
"Are you sure?" there was no answer. Just quiet crying. "Yuna?" Tidus said softly. He let go and skimmed down the rocks much like that day on the Airship in Bevelle. He landed on the floor and saw Yuna standing there, crying. He could almost see her as a little girl.
"I can't do this." Was all she said.
"Why? Just because you can't get up a couple of rocks..."
"Exactly, Tidus!" she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "What happens when we come across something really dangerous? I'm no good!"
"You are great!" Tidus said, stroking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "You are wonderful. You are going to do it."
"[I wish that was true.] Okay."
"Get on my back, I'll carry you. This is only the first obstacle of many to come. I'll be by your side on every one. Okay?"
"[Bless you Tidus.] Okay." She smiled and they climbed the rocks together.
