“I think your sister is definitely going to try to find one,” Yuna says with a soft smile.

Anri smiles, and glances over to Hasira. "I gave up on that." Pauses, looks back to Shiva. "Thank you, so vneaht."

(And the aeon fades away with a smile.)

"I left my Pilgrimmage. After-" ey shakes eir head. "But Hasira still looks for a way. Has seen a few too many young summoners setting out."

Yuna doesn’t try and argue that they’re brave for doing it, or that they are the best of Spirans. She doesn’t want to argue with Anri. She actually likes her, maybe it’s too soon, but it’s good to see a fellow summoner, a fellow teenager. 

“She’s brave. And strong. And, if you don’t mind me saying, a little frightening.”

Lulu seems to sink a little at Anri’s words. That’s the very argument she tried with Yuna, that she was giving away her life too young. She hasn’t even experienced life, and she was already so ready to be done with it.

"She's terrifying when she wants to be," Anri agrees with a laugh. "And even a little when she isn't trying. She's not very good at not being threatening."

Permalink

"It kept you safe," Hasira calls, sounding nothing so much as fondly amused.

“A wise choice in a guar- oh, I mean, a good trait for an older sister to have. Lulu’s a bit like that too, though she prefers to be cold,” Yuna laughs. 

Permalink

“Revealing all my secrets?” Lulu scolds playfully, ruffling Yuna’s hair. 

Permalink

"Little sibling prerogative!" Anri declares cheerfully. "At least. That's what Rikku always said!"

Permalink

Yuna’s heart stops. “...Rikku?”

Permalink

"Yeah. Kind of my sister as well? Adopted at least."

Permalink

“She...she’s my cousin.” 

Was her cousin? Is someone still your family if they’re not...if they’re...

Tears spring into Yuna’s eyes.

Lulu wraps her arm around Yuna’s shoulders, rubbing her comfortingly. 

Permalink

Kimahri lays one big hand over Yuna’s shoulder, trying to comfort her too. 

Permalink

Hasira's attention is abruptly back on them entirely. "-You're that Yuna?" Beat. "What happened?"

Permalink

Yuna’s voice is small and desolate. “After...after Home, I was kidnapped by the Guado. Taken to Bevelle. Cid and the others came to rescue me. We...” Heaving breath. “They-”

Yuna gasps in a sob, tears escaping.

“Wakka, another friend, and Rikku were left to die in the flooded prison,” Lulu answers for Yuna, her voice deadly and furious. 

Permalink

“No one escapes from there,” Auron adds. He sounds sure, but there is sadness in his tone. 

Permalink

-And that's the look of a woman who's just assigned herself a mission. "I guess we'll need to change that then."

Permalink

“It wasn’t meant as a challenge. You most likely won’t find them.” Despite his words, Auron sounds impressed. 

Permalink

“You...will?” Yuna sounds torn, hopeful that they might be found, but still sad from her surety they have died. 

Permalink

"We'll see. I owe it to Cid for us to be sure."

Permalink

Yuna says nothing, but she looks ashamed, even as she still cries. 

Permalink

"-Hasira doesn't think you should've checked. And if I know Rikku she'd have yelled at you if you'd tried."

Permalink

“Exactly.” Lulu is nodding approvingly. “We couldn’t have you be there for another second. You were so brave to fight your way out of that maze.”
