Happy as a Clam
Yuna is content.
She is sitting in her secret place, a little niche between books on the highest part of the bookshelf tucked away in the corner's of Merlin's magic house. The window is right in front of her, and she likes looking out to watch.
Yuna doesn't know many people anymore - compared to back then - back then she knew too many people, so many - too many - and if she's honest with herself, it's a little lonely. She misses Tidus, lots. But it isn't bad, either. And right here - right here, in her little spot with the sun warming her insides pink, she's happy. Everything is different and strange here and Yuna wants to lock it in a box and she wants to fly on top of it like a summer kite.
It was Hollow Bastion, but now Radiant Gardens - she likes the name, too. She could get used to it and probably will, and she looks out the window and spies Rikku and Auron, Rikku and Auron who are sitting out on the ruined bailey. She knows because she can see a splash of blonde against his red coat.
She isn't spying or anything. She just happens to be looking where Rikku and Auron are sitting.
Yuna wonders how things were before the Heartless came to their world. And she supposes it doesn't matter much, anyway.
Either way, looking at them lights her up like a firefly because she feels hope and it's radiating off of the flowers, welcome to Radiant Gardens, and it is strange and different and beautiful.
Yuna smiles and stretches across the wood, shutting her eyes and dreaming of days long since passed.
