The person stands up with some difficulty and starts stripping off the bodysuit, revealing a blonde Al Bhed girl with swirly pupils.

"H—hey! Rikku! You're Rikku! How've you been?"

"I'm okay," she tells Theo, not in Al Bhed, then glares at Tidus. "No thanks to you!"

"You two know each other, I take it?"

"Yeah! She saved my life when I arrived in Spira! And what do you mean no thanks to me?"

"You beat me up, remember?"

"—you were in that machina? But you attacked us!"

"Not exactly, it's not what you think—"

"Aay! You're alive!" calls Wakka, leading the rest of the party coming from the wharf.

"I am alive!" responds Theo to Wakka.

Then to the swirly-eyed Al Bhed: "So did the machina malfunction somehow, or?"

"Nuh-uh, I—"

"Tried to kidnap me."

"– Whyyy?"

"Yeah I would actually love to know the answer to that question, too."

"No, I didn't mean to hurt you! I wanted to protect you!"

"Uh huh."

"Where was this? I have no idea what you guys have been up to, did you get in even more danger?"

"See, we were crossing the Moonflow on the shoopuf and these Al Bhed tried to kidnap me and then attacked us with a robot when that failed."

"Wait—she's an Al Bhed?"

"Well, yeah! But! Ummm!" She looks a bit panicked. "I'm Cid's daughter!"

"– So is this or isn't this some family drama thing."

"Gods, I hope not, I haven't even met the guy."

"Wait. Family? Kaede, are you an Al Bhed?"

"Half, my mum was an Al Bhed, I can even speak the language."

"What?!"
