Gippal's comment tackled the anger within Braska. It wasn't a usual thing to catch him mad but Gippal knew how to do it. He knew how to bring braska down a notch into an emotion he hated to show. Braska lifted his right leg and stomped it into the rock while simultaneously throwing his arm to the side, looking his father when he did it. "HEY!" Braska yelled at Gippal with a little ferocity in his voice. He hated being treated as Gippal's second. It was asinine. Braska was known as Jecht's second coming. One of the best players to touch the ball and yet Gippal wanted to brag he was the best. No Braska wouldn't allow it. This was his life and he'd be sure this story ended with him as the best Blitzball Player. "We can go one on one anytime." The last Braska muttered to Gippla before they all began the hour long walk to Kilika. 

As they walked, Gippal told Braska all about the five years that he had disappeared. It was a very engaging tale and all Braska could do was stare. Not only was he placing himself higher in Blitzball but now he had some exciting five years. Braska just smiled and was happy Gippal was alive. The Thane situation and Eve being a summoner brought some light to the situation and why Braska was now with them. It almost destiny that his family would either protect a summoner or be one. Maybe this was his story or maybe this was Gippal's story and Braska was just part of the stand in. It only pissed him more thinking about it. Suddenly Eve began to have a breakdown. She clutched on to Gippal. Braska watched intently. His eyes moved from Gippal to Eve and then caught Nai staring. [i]"What the hell is going on here?"[/i] Braska thought to himself almost angrily. Was it that the girls were gravitating to him. It was true that Gippal had spent more time with them but Braska felt overwhelmed. It was just like back then as well. As much as Braska was the adorable young one of the team, Gippal had all the women falling over him. Nai's question jogged Braska's mind from the jealousy. 

"I had a little bout with the Guado and well." Braska paused, "They put me under a sleep spell. But how have you been? Sorry I haven't been around Besaid much."
