The Conversation
Auron turned to look at me, with a grumpy look on his face. I repeated my introduction once again.
"You already said that before," he responded harshly. "And please leave me alone." I gave him an irate look, but he was oblivious of his surroundings.
"Hey, mister," I glared at him, my arms akimbo. "Do you need to be that cold for just a simple introduction?"
"I don't need introduction," he replied back. "My cause is to only serve Lady Yuna as a guardian." He turned away from me, looking at the other side.
"Even if you were only here to serve Yunie," I felt like giving him a lecture of my own. "You should mix around with all! Look, everyone's socializing! Why aren't ya?"
"I have better things to do than to talk nonsensical things," he snapped back.
"Why?" I shouted back at him. "Just because you are kept in that stupid secret world with a dead Al Bhed girl?" He turned around, showing his displeasure.
"Look young girl," he argued back, giving me a piercing stare through his lone eye. "Never insult a legendary guardian." I saw how well he protected this Lady Lyna, even if she was not around.
"Okok! Whatever!" I gave up at trying talking to this guardian. As I turned, I gave him one more kick at his leg but it was too strong to collapse. I yowled in pain as I limped back to the other side of the platform.
***
'E pad hu uha femm ajan mega oui!' I cursed at him, looking at him with annoyance. The crimson guardian ignored my anger and continued to look down. As I looked forward, Auron began to feel for something in his coat. He took out a glittering, golden object which made my eyes widen.
"Hey! How did you take my watch from me?" I screamed at him as I snatched the golden mechanical watch from him. His face showed a little expression of perplexity. "You're a real trickster, I must say!"
"That isn't your watch," he retorted as he grabbed the watch from my hands. "Don't just accuse anyone of theft!" I felt for my pocket and found that my watch was still there. I was puzzled. How did Vydran make two identicals of a watch? I took out my golden watch from the pocket.
"Hey! Who gave you that watch?" I held up mine to him. His eye widened as he scrutinized the watch in his hands. "My Vydran said that there was only one kind!"
"Some secrets cannot be divulged," he replied coldly.
"You'd better tell!" I warned him, looking at him angrily. At that moment, my mind solved the mystery. 'Banrybc ed fyc Lyna!' I thought to myself as I deduced that the watch had come from an Al Bhed. "When did you get the watch?" I interrogated him.
"I cannot say it," he answered defiantly. "I have the right not to say it." I grabbed the watch from his big hand. With nimbleness, I opened the cover of both watches gently and was shocked at what I saw.
Both watches were ticking at the same time. Even the second hand, the hardest to synchronize between watches, was moving in unison with the second hair of the other watch. 'Ruf lyh drec pa?' I wondered, looking at the miracle. Auron's watch, however, had lost its shiny glow from age, compared to my new and golden one. I stretched out my hand to return him the watch. With swiftness, he took the watch and quickly placed it behind his coat. Following that, he began to be lost in thought once again.
"Something's wrong?" I asked him, feeling a little hypocritical. With a little acting skill, I pretended to slip in front of him. I felt his hand grabbing mine.
"Be careful," he warned. I noticed that he was still holding my hand, my small hand against his big one, and upon looking up to him, a blushing visage greeted me behind the tall collar. As soon as his sight caught mine, he released his grip on me. "My apologies," he directed his look elsewhere, still embarrassed from what had happened.
"Hey Auron, turn back," I requested him as he turned. His face was still red, though his expression was back to that of a cold one. "We should have gotten a sphere to get that cute blushing face of yours," I look at him, trying to act seductive in front of him. My mind agreed with me, "Ra'c xieda lida cusaruf..."
"P-please l-leave me alone!" he stumbled on his words, somehow giving a scared kitten look behind his high collar. In my mind I was laughing at him. To think that the great legendary guardian was actually a shy one! At this time, he was greatly photogenic for such sights. "Just go back..." he was calm again, putting back on his social wall. I interrupted him by pretending to fall against him, ensuring that my chest hit against his slung arm in his coat. I looked up to see his face turning more crimson than ever.
'Drec ec dra banvald najahka vun cilr y zang mega oui!' I schemed as I planned my next move. "Oh Auron..." I began to change my tone into a seductive one, beginning to rub his thighs, as believed by Al Bhed myths to be one of the most sensitive parts of the body. His social wall collapsed temporarily as his expression changed into that of a shy one. "...You are so good-looking and I'm in love with you..." I continued to seduce him, testing his tolerance for seduction.
"J-just g-go...." He began to push me away, probably in a state of panic. I continued to touch him, leaning my small frame against his gigantic physique. I could felt heat emanating from him; he was aroused but simply resisting all temptations. Impressed by his tolerance of seduction, I backed away.
"Hahahahahaha!" I laughed at him, pointing one finger. "You're really such a fool! To think you can stammer when you are seduced!" Showing my trick, he looked at me angrily.
"What exactly were you doing?" he gave me an angry glare. "Rikku, do not play around on your pilgrimage," He warned me as he walked to the other side of the platform. I continued to laugh, enjoying the game that I had just played.
***
"Hey Auron," I approached him again as he turned away. "Okay! I'm sorry for making fun of ya'! A hundred percent sorry!" I gave him a salute. He refused to respond.
"Hey, I said I was sorry!" I was angry at his refusal to reply. "Can't believe that such a coldy like you can be so petty too!" I cursed at him before walking back.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have agreed to let you become a guardian," he replied coldly, his back still facing me.
"What?!? Just because I'm an Al Bhed?" I yelled back.
"It's not that," he answered. "You will suffer if you follow us on this pilgrimage."
"I see...how caring of you," I replied with irony. "Meanie!"
"Leave now if you don't want to end up like Lady Lyna," he warned.
"I'm determined to be Yunie's guardian," I spoke up to him. "Even if death is the result!" I proved my will of determination to him.
"Very well," he concluded. "As you wish."
"Hey Auron," I snapped. "Why did you agree to Yunie marrying when you knew she didn't like him?"
"As long as it doesn't hinder the journey," he answered. "I would not object to it." I looked at him with anger; he clearly did not understand the meaning of love.
"You're such a meanie!" I cursed again. "To think that you only care about her pilgrimage! I bet you didn't even really love anyone! Even if you liked Lyna, I bet she would have ditched you for your heartlessness!" I noticed that Auron had become silent again.
"Okok!" I apologized. "Sorry that I mentioned your dead co-guardian's name!"
"She's not dead," he replied frigidly. "Just somewhere in Spira." I noticed that he had refused to believe that this Lyna was dead. At once, I saw Auron beginning to move away.
"Hey, where are ya going?" I asked him. He looked back at me, emanating a manly charm.
"I'll be back soon," he replied. "If Yuna's out, tell her to go on first. I'll catch up with her!" He quickly ran back into Guadosalam.
"Hey wait...!" I wanted to stop him but it was too late. 'E fuhtan frana fyc ra kuehk?' I thought to myself as I waited for Yunie to come out.
***
"Hey, you're back!" I exclaimed as I saw him return. He was looking rather stressed, carrying his large sword in his hand and showing off an expression of sadness.
I turned back to see Yunie emerge from the portal. 'Braf! Cra'c uid!' I heaved a sigh of relief at my patience for waiting.
