To Luca

We're on our way to Luca now. We left late last night. I'm sitting at the front edge of the boat. The weather right now is quite nice. The sun is shining, there's a slight warm breeze. The smell of the ocean, so refreshing.

It seems that Tidus is trying to teach Wakka how to do a certain blitzball move. It looks a little familiar but I'm not sure where I've seen it. I'll think on it later. Oh, he just turned and caught me staring and now I'm probably blushing like crazy. And he gave me that adorable little smile he does. It gives me butterflies in my stomach. I wonder if he likes me. . . .

He always seems to find a small way to touch me. Like touching my arm or brushing his hand against mine. He did put his arm around me last night to keep me warm since the night air on the boat was rather chilly. I didn't mind and neither did he obviously. And no one was around to run us off to bed. We talked a great deal last night. We even fell asleep on the deck. Wakka found us this morning. Rather it be him than Lulu because I know Wakka wouldn't reprimand us like Lulu would. He kind of slapped Tidus around a little bit for the incident, but it was all in good fun.

I spoke with Lulu about making Tidus one of my guardians. The look in her eye said no, but she told me that as long as I was fine with it then she was too. I was happy. And I've been happy all day after that.

I did get to pray to the Fayth in Kilika Temple. I received another aeon. His name is Ifrit. He's rather large. Kind of resembles a dog like figure. Despite the way he looks, he is very kind and gentle. I'll admit that at first I was a little afraid of him, but after I summoned him, all that melted away.

I get to take a small break away from my pilgrimage while we're in Luca. There is no temple in Luca. Really the only thing there is Blitzball and a ton of shops and restaurants. The tournament is being held there. Wakka is nervous about it. I think he's finally convinced Tidus to play, not that it took to much I'm sure. Tidus is very passionate about Blitzball. He says he was the star player for the Zanarkand Abes. I don't think anyone else believes him but I do.

I heard that at the tournament, Maester Mika will be introducing the new Maester of Yevon. I don't know if it is true or not, I guess I'll have to see when we get there. Well I must leave for now. My hand is getting tired. Have a great day!
