Hee-eyy, is there anyone on board who can whip up some small containers? With magic or--whatever? Is there anything around? I need to make this--

[ He holds up a filled glass bottle the size of about an energy drink. ...if with a fancier bottle to it. ]

Into about--three! They're megalixirs! They'll make people feel good as new out on missions, magic and all! Light! [ And a smile springs on his face, even if he doesn't know she can hear him. ] I got a bunch of them! --Oh yeah, and Bryn! Yuna! I got stuff for you too! Come meet me in the luggage car!

Hmmm.

[ Now that's an odd response. As is the up and down look she's giving Tidus – her expression is suddenly a little serious and she has a look as if she's sizing him up somehow. ]

Well... if I tell you, will you promise to keep it a secret? It's not as though I expect you to run and tell everyone you speak to, but with things like they are right now, it might upset some of the other passengers to hear me speak of it so casually.

[blitzcheer]

[ Wow, it took her this long to check him out?!

No, actually, he's not sure what the look is for, curious--even more so with what follows it, a bit of a blank look on his face. ]

Uh... sure. What is it?

[ His brain wants to make guesses, but what should he even guess...? ]

[draconite]

He asked me to kill a particular someone.

[ YOU KNOW

JUST DRAGON THINGS ]

[blitzcheer]

[ Tidus stares at Bryn. It's a stare that speaks what he doesn't, what his lips don't even mouth. It's an expression that speaks for his very soul when she reveals her mission, the brief look of astonishment giving away to a look that can only be described as:

Seriously, Bryn. ]

Why.

[ Just....sigh....why.... ]

[draconite]

[ A bit defensively: ] Don't look at me like that! It's for a good enough reason, I assure you!

[ bryn can have LITTLE a murder as a treat!!! ]

You see – the man I have to find is the man who killed Teacher. I still don't know why he did it... I simply returned one day and our home was in flames and Teacher was there among the ruins. He... was very badly injured.

[blitzcheer]

[ ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

Okay, [ okay, ] I guess I can get going after the guy that killed him. [ FINE. FINE.

But also, more importantly: ] Sorry about your teacher. So your pact... you still feel him, like this?

[ Having a presence of someone after their death = not that weird to Tidus, actually. ]

[draconite]

Yes. Mostly in here–

[ And she taps the side of her head to demonstrate. ]

Now that I have a part of him with me always, it almost feels as though I still have him looking out for me. When I'm not sure what to do or I start feeling lost, it's as though I can hear Teacher telling me what I should be doing next.

[blitzcheer]

Well that's nice. [ Huh. That's...sorta...cool...maybe? Let's just see it as a positive. ] I wonder if that's how it was for Yuna...

[ Oh, but they've gotten way distracted, haven't they? And Tidus remembers the book, tapping it. ]

Hey, I want to see the rest of this! How about I put the rest of the stuff I got away and meet you in another of the cars? The standard coach?

[ Then she'll get to flip through it herself first. ]

[draconite]

Yes! Perfect!

[ She hugs the book to her chest with one hand and cheerily punches the air with the other. She's all fired up!! ]

I'll find us somewhere comfortable to talk, never fear!

wrap for them sweet points?

[blitzcheer]

I'll be counting on you!

[ At the very least, he doesn't regret this purchase. All (murder) things aside, he likes seeing her happy. ...even if her joy has been dangerous to Inigo. But whatever, that. ]
