Scene Nine: Oh, Sir Auron!
[A/N: Please remember to "hear" Rin's accent in this scene. It's better that way.]
[Braska and Seymour meet up again, and Seymour admits he lost the chocobo. Braska leaves in frustration. However, Seymour happens to overhear the conversation of Auron, the charming monk of Bevelle, and Rin, the charming Al-Bhed merchant.]
Auron: Do I abuse her, or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I pursue her, how shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?
Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the only thing out of your reach?
Rin: High in her tower, she sits by the hour,
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming, and frequently humming
A lighthearted air…
A-a-a-a-a-a-ah...
Agony!
Far more painful than yours!
When you know she would go with you,
If there only were doors!
Both: Agony!
Oh the torture they teach!
Rin: What's as intriguing—
Auron: Or half so fatiguing—
Both: As what's out of reach?
Auron: Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate,
Talented, charming, as strong as I'm handsome,
A warrior monk?!
Rin: You are everything maidens could wish for.
Auron: The why no?
Rin: Do I know?
Auron: The girl must be mad!
Rin: You know nothing of madness…
Till you're climbing her hair, and you see her
Up there, as you're nearing her,
All the while hearing her
'A-a-a-a-a-a-ah.'
Both: Agony!
Auron: Misery!
Rin: Woe!
Both: Though it's different for each.
Auron: Always ten steps behind—
Rin: Always ten feet below—
Both: And she's just out of reach.
Agony, that can cut like a knife!
I must have her to wife.
Auron: I foresee no difficulty.
[Auron and Rin run off in different directions. Seymour follows Rin in an attempt to get Shiva's hair.]
