Luca - It is mid afternoon. Yuna and her guardians are just coming down the stairs from the city limits.
"So," Tidus said as he danced down the stairs. Still sulking, Auron wished he would do them all a favor and break his neck.
"When do we eat? I'm starving!" Tidus continued, oblivious to Auron's dark thoughts. "I could do with a victory lunch." he added with a wink at Rikku, who laughed and skipped along beside him. Auron scowled, but nodded to Yuna and Kimahri, who had looked to him for a decision. It would not be so bad, he decided. Maybe Tidus would choke on his stupid 'victory' lunch.
"This place brings back memories." Kimahri said in a satisfied rumble. His lips peeled back in a fearsome grin as he recalled the feel of his fist smashing into his clansmen's hairy face.
"That was some fight." Tidus agreed as he speared a piece of meat and took a bite, chewing with is mouth open. He wiped his hands on his pants stabbed a second piece. "This chocobo is great!" he added.
"Must you eat with your sword?" Lulu inquired archly, her lip curling in irritation. "People are staring."
"I like my sword." Tidus replied. His voice took on a childish whine as he looked at Rikku and added "Besides, Rikku is using her weapon."
Rikku whipped her arm under the table with a sheepish grin and contrived to look as cute as possible. (All cute, perky girls possess this ability, to greater or lesser degrees. It's handy for avoiding instances of anger, wrath, rage, and numerous other dangerous emotions they may find themselves on the receiving end of) "Well, you know, us kids learn by example." she said "Anyway, Kimahri is eating with his hands."
Kimahri frowned as Yuna covered a smile with one hand. "Kimahri is Ronso. Ronso use claws and fangs for everything. Keeps them sharp." he rumbled, tearing his meat into more manageable pieces.
"That's a Ronso for you." Wakka laughed as he stuffed a chunk of potato into his mouth and chewed. Lulu looked away in disgust and concentrated on her own plate. "At least some of us have manners." she commented, glancing at Auron and Yuna.
"Hey, I have manners, Lu!" Wakka retorted defensively around a mouthful of chocobo. Lulu made a derisive sound and looked at Tidus, who was still eating with his sword. "Yes, and they rival those of a two-year old."
After lunch, the party moved on, heading towards the docks to catch a boat to Kilika. Oh no, he's talking again! Auron thought with a mental groan as the Sin Spawn (SinJecht, and TidusJecht's Spawn, thus Spawn of JechtSpawn of Sin.) began asking Kimahri where he kept his Items. The blue Ronso gave Auron a long suffering look and shook his head mutely at Tidus. They turned left, heading to the number 2 dock, looking for the familiar sails of the S.S. Winno.
"Come on, Kimahri, I want to know!" he begged, poking at him in an attempt to annoy him into speaking. "I get where everyone else keeps them. Rikku and Wakka keep them in pouches, Auron keeps them in his coat, and Yuna and Lulu keep them…well, you know. (insert immature giggle) But where do you keep them?"
Kimahri growled " Kimahri keep them where they are safe." Tidus rolled his eyes and said "Gimme a break! Every time I see you reach for something in a battle, you reach behind yourself and it appears. It's like you just pull it out of your butt, or something."
With the speed of a striking viper, the Ronso hauled Tidus up by his shirt front, bringing him eye to fangs. "Little one really wants to know? Kimahri will teach." he threatened.
Tidus decided that he really did not want to know that badly. "Oh, look! I think the boat is ready to leave!" he squeaked.
Yuna laid her hand on Kimahri's arm. "Are you coming Kimahri?" she asked, winking at Tidus. "I'm ready to board, and I need you beside me, incase I trip, or that creepy little man over there comes too close."
Scowling at the poor man mending a sail, the Ronso dropped Tidus and boarded first, keeping Yuna close. "Nicely done." Lulu murmured as she fell into step behind Yuna, the others following behind.
