There is loud, pleased giggling coming from one machina.

Wakka seems antsy.

The other machina is making slightly ominous sounds, which don't cease when Hasira reappears. "Rikku, we better go. I think Tyt can still throw you over his shoulder. And if he doesn't I think Wakka will."

"[Ooh, please, Dad? I'm so tired, I could sleep for years!]" Rikku says dramatically, keeping pace with Hasira.

Cid ruffles her hair. "[You can sleep when we get back to the Fahrenheit. It's not actually that far.]"

"[It'd be even less if you carry me!]"

"[I'm the main fighter here,]" Hasira points out before Cid can suggest she carry Rikku.

"[Besieged from all sides, what's a man to do?]"

He doesn't wait for an answer, scooping Rikku up instead, and throwing her over one shoulder.

Rikku squeals happily, pretending to pound on his back.

Wakka laughs along with her. 

(And if he performs the prayer over the dead bodies, who's gonna know?)

Hasira notices, but she doesn't say anything.

Cid takes the lead back to the airship.

...That has a slightly discontent looking dragon curled up on it.

Rikku gasps. "Dad, didn't we fight him on the way in? What is he doing on your airship!?"

"Very good question. If you can get him to answer, it'd probably put everyone's mind at ease."

"And there was me thinking you'd taken my advice about getting this thing a ship's cat."

"Ooooh, ship's dragon!" Rikku says, bouncing excitedly.

"Well, it's not like they were using him properly," Wakka says, somewhat uneasily, but he doesn't argue.

"C'mon," Cid leads the way aboard. "Better get in the air before anyone else decides to try and attack us."

The dragon lifts his head to observe then, and then drops it back down, obviously not finding what he was looking for.

Wakka follows on, still feeling uneasy, but it was getting easier and easier to combat that all the time. 

Rikku flops over her father’s back. “I’m tired. I’m gonna nap for ten years,” she moans.

"You've definitely earned it, kidda," Cid reassures her as they make it to the bridge. He gestures to Brother to get them out of here.

Evrae uncoils from his place on the deck as they begin to move, and can be seen flying alongside them.

Hasira sways dangerously, and starts to topple sideways.
