Alora sighed as she took in the sun while walking to the Beach. She loved it here, though the weather and smell of the ocean was the same in Kilika, Kilika had become a bustling city, where Besaid kept it's island village charm. Sadly she would only be here for one more night before they all headed to Luca. But thankfully she managed to see all she wanted, the temple, Lady Yuna and Sir Tidus, along with Sir Wakka and Lady Lulu. She even met some of the Blitzers from the Besaid Aurochs, one of which was Alex the tall and beautiful red headed defender of the team, one who rivaled even the Famous Gippal star striker for the Zanarkand abes. Not that she Actually TALKED to her... just saw her in passing. But the thought of Gippal made her wonder where hewas now, it had been quite a few years since he last played...suddenly disappearing from the spotlight of Blitzball. 

As she walked she passed a strange man by a small lake who was fiddling with a gun of some sort. He wasn't paying attention to her as she passed so she didn't say anything...but it was weird he was defiantly a human but had Ronso Ears and a tail. She didn't stare, that would be simply rude. She continued to the beach just in time to see the Airship doors open. She stayed a little back and watched from a distance... not to much later she heard a bunch of girls yell "It's GIPPAL!" Her heart skipped a beat, partially from not expecting the outburst but the other was her little girl crush she had on the star player growing up. On the outside she looked calm and collected, a trait she mastered thanks to her mother. But the inside all those old stupid feelings came bubbling up, here was her chance to meet the star player/ hunk that she and all her friends growing up crushed on. 

She watched as he walked through the crowd of fans. He defiantly filled out in lean muscle since she last saw him on his final game. She also noticed the massive man behind him. It must have been Urick, his body guard. It was true he was as big as a ronso. She folded her arms and resisted the urge to run up to him... she was technically on duty after all. It then looked he tried to make his escape as Urick placed himself between the fans and him. Suddenly a Blitzball flew at him. She fully expected him to dodge it, he was of course one of the more agile players in the game... especially escaping the tackle from miss Alex many times. But no he didn't. It slammed into his face with such force she could hear the thud quite clearly from where she stood. She winced and placed her hands over her mouth. She then heard a woman yelling at him, apparently what she gathered from what the woman yelled, she knew Gippal. She looked at the woman holding onto the staff she held so tightly to herself, Alora was surpised that the woman was the one who hit Gippal with such force, she looked so frail. Then after a closer inspection she noticed the staff and guessed she must of used magic. 

She watched as Gippal was helped up, exchanging words with Urick, and looking a little pathetic after taking the hit...he must have lost his edge from all these years of not playing. Still he managed to get quickly back onto his own feet, she had to admit. Getting hit with a blitzball underwater would be totally different from getting hit with one out of water. The friction the water would cause would slow the ball down slightly where in the open it wouldn't slow down as much. He quickly made his way towards the woman and surprisingly wasn't like most players who were stuck up and get back at people who embarrass them. He seemed quite on the defensive and after hearing what the woman had to say. (for she was yelling) She quickly understood they were friends before and he even lost contact with her. Well... he defiantly Deserved it then. She giggled at seeing a small woman with such fierceness to make even the Famous Gippal look like he was handling a wild tiger. She would have never of thought he would have acted this way. He seemed so much more human than a star at the moment.

She looked over to where Urick was, and noticed miss Alex talking to him...perhaps the tall woman had a thing for him... she couldn't blame her, he was rather attractive with all those muscles... didn't help he was shirtless... 

Suddenly a blue chocobo flew past her with a cloaked rider straight for Gippal and the team. In an instant her sword flashed as she pulled it from her sheath and started running towards them, even though she defiantly might not make it in time. But she stumbled slightly when she saw the chocobo skid to a stop and fling it's rider into Gippal, sending them rolling into the water resting below the rider who she also notice was a woman. She sheathed her sword when she deemed it wasn't intentional, seeing how the chocobo was playing with the blitzball now. 

She was surprised though...Superstar Gippal seemed to lack that sort of.... starness...if that was even a word. He seemed more down to earth...if not more clumsy than what he used to be when she watched him play. She couldn't help but smile, what a way to come back to the world of Blitzball. Getting slammed in the face with a Blitzball and being tackled with such force it was a wonder he was still conscious. She then saw the same woman go over to see if they were alright, and get mad and sent a water spell hitting some teenagers, soaking them. She giggled at the site. Defiantly didn't want to get on her bad side. 

She then heard Alex yelling  [color=ed1c24]"Hey buddy! Here to check out the island? See you found the lake already."[/color] She looked to see Alex and the body guard walking towards her...strange the guard didn't seem to be doing anything to help Gippal. Dragging herself back to the point in hand she realized Alex wasn't talking to her but the strange man at the lake behind her. She turned to see the Man simply wave and move on. Well that's rude... Normally when someone starts talking to you you at least say hello and stay for a bit. 

She then turned back to Alex and said, [color=00a651]"Some people just don't know how to be polite." [/color]with a smile. [color=00a651]" Hello I'm Alora..."[/color] She extended her hand for a handshake,[color=00a651] "I am a big fan of you Miss Alex."[/color]
