Max walked up to me, as Nate was comforting a sobbing Tamar. "Where will we go?" he asked, "Casimir-sensei wont be back for a couple days.."

"You guys can stay with us.." I said, "It's not a problem."

"Thanks." Max said quietly, before giving me a small smile and heading back over by his siblings.

"So we will be staying in Bevelle for a while?" Yuna asked, and I shook my head. "No, lets go back to Besaid." I said, "It's calmer, less stressful there."

Yuna gave me a small smile and a nod. "I think it's best for everyone." She said.

"Shall we go?" I asked, "No use in staying here.."

Yuna went and got everyone, and we loaded onto the airship. It didn't take long to reach besaid. Upon landing, we were greeted by Wakka and Lulu, who said that everyone was settled again

"Yeah we set up our tents again." Wakka said, "Everyone was pretty proud of ya Seig." He then gave me a slap on the back, and I couldn't help but grin.

"Are you guys hungry?" Lulu asked.

"I'm starving." I said, before turning to the kids, "What about you guys?"

"Ravenous." The boys said, and Tamar merely nodded, keeping her eyes fixed on the ground.

/Poor girl../ I thought/She must be scared to death../

Nate and Max immediately began loading their plates, but Tamar only took a few things. "You can take more." Nate said, "It's alright."

She softly shook her head. "This is all I want for now." She said quietly. Nate gave a nod, and I started to take some things for myself.

"So, who's the eldest?" Yuna asked Tamar, and she pointed to Max.

"He's only the oldest by a few minutes.." She said quietly.

"are you the youngest or the middle child?" Yuna asked.

"Youngest." tamar said, finally looking up to Yuna, "Maximus is the oldest, then Thaddeus, then Nathaniel, then me."

"Oh, there's another?" Yuna asked.

She nodded. "Yeah, but he died.." She said quietly. The brothers weren't even looking sad at all..they seemed rather happy. They had a pretty good facade..

"I'm sorry." yuna said quietly, and Tamar smiled slightly.

"It's alright, it's all in the past.." She said.

She shook her head. "No, it's alright." She said, "Normally they're worse than this.."

"Well, you're not going to get them ever again." Nate said. "Yes I will." Tamar said, "Because I'm going to continue my studies soon.."

"Are you sure?" Max asked, "These are dangerous times."

"They were before too." She said, "Besides, I know I can do it.."

"How to fight with a hiraikotsu." Tamar said, "it's like a giant boomerang, but deadlier."

"Last time we saw her, she was pretty good." Nate said, "I think she'll do fine."

"well, I wish you the best of luck." Yuna said. "Thanks." Tamar said.

I was eating when I suddenly sensed an enormous power source and flinched. I turned my head to the opening of the tent, trying to see if anything was wrong outside.

Nothing seemed to be, so I just blew it off and continued with my meal.

Max raised an eyebrow. "You alright?" He asked me, and I shrugged. "Just thought I felt a familiar presence, it's gone now." I said.

"are you sure everything is alright?" Yuna asked, and I nodded. "I'm sure." I said, "The person who I thought it was would never come here anyway.."
