Chapter 3: My son
Whenever I look at Josh, I see Auron. Especially when he's grumpy. Mr. Grump is what the other kids call him. Because he can be very grumpy, straight forward and he's a bit of a know-it-all.
And I've been told that he has my temper. Humph, I don't have a temper. It has to be his father's DNA.
Even tough Josh is just eight, he's already one of the best swordsman I've ever seen. His father would have been proud of him, I'm sure. I miss Auron, I really do. His no nonsense attitude, the way he smiled at me when no one else was around.
Some nights I can hear his voice calling out to me, I can feel his arms holding me tight. But the next morning he's gone, gone with the dream. Some days I wish he could have stayed... to see his son grow tall, to see the girls chasing after him, to hold him tight after a nightmare.
Sigh * Just an hour ago Josh asked me about his father, I told him once again that his father is on the Farplane. And now, Josh wants to visit Auron. What am I to do? I can't leave Besaid. I've got a job to do, you see I take care of the wounded Yuna heals. I rehabilitate them, I make sure that they can take care of themselves.
Maybe Wakka and Rikku will take Josh with them to Guadosalam, They're heading there themselves anyway, Wakka wants to see Chappu and Rikku has to go to Rin's travel agency on the Thunder Plains. I'll have to ask Rikku about it this afternoon...
