[color=ed1c24][i][b]"So. Is that glare at him saying I don't look fantastic?"[/b][/i][/color] Alex said, at first, her expression serious but soon returned to the amused grin and lightly patted him on the back. At which he stuttered but didn't have a chance to say that wasn't it... it was for Gippal leaving him alone with Alex. 

[color=ed1c24]"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] He only smiled slightly and nodded a few times... it was true, he was utterly shy... and he was always teased about it. He tried to overcome it but it was pathetic he couldn't especially infront of her. How he wished he had Gippal's confidence. 

Alex moved closer to him so their chests were just about touching. At this point he was freaking out, and starting to sweat. Luckily he could pull it off to it being hot but his eyes went wide when her right hand moving above their heads and seemed to measure any difference between their height.[color=ed1c24] "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.

At this point he must surely have been getting a little red in the face. He didn't dare try to attempt to look away or what ever thinking it would only attract her to the issue.

[color=ed1c24]"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, At which he seemed to calm a little... she did have a wonderful smile. He forced himself to muster the courage to say something. 

"....the heck is that? A cat person? Someone cosplaying or something?" she hummed. He looked into the distance as well and saw who she was looking at. It was strange the person was a human, but almost looked like they were trying to be a Ronso... at thinking that he did notice a Ronso watching them. It was strange even in this age to see a lone Ronso. 

He cleared his throat, then looked at her from the corner of his eye since she was still hanging her arm around his neck,"We... could always go and check it out." His voice was deep and soft, as it was rarely used. "Gippal should be fine..." He gulped and started to sweat more, he did it. he finally spoke to Alex with out being prodded into doing so. Though he started to become worried what she would say. 

------------
He winced as Naisha started tearing into him. He knew this would have come. He just got so into his work and to keep his promise he made many years before. Yeah he was horrible in keeping touch he didn't even try and contact his parents... usually his mom forced his father to send soldiers to find him to make sure he was still living. 

He rubbed the back of his head as she continued on about saying next time it would be worse. Which he knew it would. She finally ended her rant with [color=00aeef]“I do hope you have interesting stories to tell for all that wandering…”[/color] looking towards him. He nodded, "Well seeing I have five years worth of traveling saved up I'm pretty sure I can keep you interested for a bit. Even embarrassing ones to sweeten the pot." He said with a smile, hoping to see her smile. But before he could say anything he heard a sqwak from a Chocobo, turning his head to see a blue Chocobo Barreling down at him. "Son of a..." He didn't have a chance to finish the sentence when the Bird skidded to a stop but the rider came flying over and into him. 

Letting out a grunt as the rider slammed into him he hit the ground hard again, but this time he rolled with the rider down into the water. As soon as they stopped rolling he let out a sigh of pain and relief. He realized the rider laying on top of him was a woman, and even with the water as warm as it was, he could tell she was freezing to the touch. He cleared his throat, "Are you alright miss?" 

Urick Shook his head when he saw Gippal slammed into the water. He always had these types of things happen to him....mostly here in Besaid actually. He could hear the teenager girls moan as they too notice the rider was a woman, overhearing one of them saying how lucky the woman was. Teenagers... truly weird.
