Alex couldn't help but snicker as the ball directly landed into Gippal's face and effectively knocked her childhood rival on his ass. It was amazing how strong Naksha's magic had gotten, almost just as good as any Blitzball player throwing arm, maybe even better. As Urick helped Gippal up who rubbed his face in a attempt to rid the pain, the tall red head couldn't help but smirk. Her blue eyes looked to Urick who seemed to be looking at the bottom of the airship for some reason or another.

When Gippal addressed how they were on the same side now, Alex couldn't help but let out a smirk and a soft laugh. [color=red]"Yeah, bet you're glad. Won't have me landing hard tackles on you anymore. At least, in the game."[/color] she smirked, lightly punching his shoulder. Firm enough for him to feel it, but it was definetly just like a tap on the shoulder compared to her full throttled punch. Gippal probably wouldn't appreciate it if she also knocked him on his ass.

It was then Gippal looked to Urick, pointed at him, and seemed to generally translate what Urick was thinking apparently before excusing himself to quell the flames of rage from their friend. Alex rolled her eyes but simply smirked and watched. [color=red]"Careful not to get a fireball to the ass, not saving it for ditching me."[/color] she snickered before looking to Urick.

[color=red]"So. Is that glare at him saying I don't look fantastic?"[/color] Alex said, at first, her expression serious but soon returned to the amused grin and lightly patted the big muscular man's back.

[color=red]"Geez, I see you got bigger, but you're still the shy teddy bear. Makes you easily teasible for us you know? So hello to you too Uri."[/color] Alex greeted her other childhood friend whenever he visited with Gippal.

Urick and Gippal were always quiet compared to Alex, but Urick took it to another level. Boy hardly spoke unless it was absolutely neccessary, and it was usually Gippal who just seemed to mind read because the cousins seemed to have such a strong bond that could probably compete with one of that of a summoner and her Aeon. He always a sweet shy boy though. Gippal usually always claimed Urick was calm, but Alex just saw him being a bit on the nervous side. Maybe Urick just felt differently around Gippal.

The red head hummed as she moved closer so their chests were just about touching. Her right hand moving above their hands and seemed to measure any difference between their height. He had grown a lot apparently. She was only a inch taller maybe. It was a bit rare seeing anyone even close to her height. Still, Urick still beat her in the sheer muscle mass. Alex herself was well toned and had muscle, but was quite slender and tinier in comparison to anything other than height.

[color=red]"Damn, you grew again. What do you eat over at Zanarkand? Behemoths?"[/color] Alex hummed before launghing and casually wrapping a arm around his neck to drape it over his shoulder.

[color=red]"Hope you've been having fun with Little Gip. Doesn't act like it, but I bet he gets just about as much trouble as I do. You got your work cut out for you."[/color] she smiled brightly, watching the crowd disperse a bit after the fiery red head shooed them off. 

Scanning the area for any possible fiends, her bright blue eyes catch sight of a Ronso seeming to look at the scene while seeming to prepare to move on. She also saw a distant figure over by the lake area. It was a little difficult to see in this distance but her eyes narrowed a little in examination. 

[color=red]"....the heck is that? A cat person? Someone cosplaying or something?"[/color] she hummed. Debating if she should investigate or not. Usually she would but her two friends did just arrive and they were suppose to greet them with a welcoming party.
