[color=6ecff6]“Of course you will be the best there is!”[/color] Naisha agreed completely with her friend.[color=6ecff6]” One day you shall be extremely good swordswoman, you are learning from my mother and mister Tidus after all.”[/color] Nai grinned happily. She was very glad her friend was improving so much. She had already proved most people in the village how capable she was, even if they didn’t want to admit it. When Alex comes part of the blitzball team, everyone was going to admit how good she is! The thought of if made the mage smile. Even now Naisha often got into arguments with the priests when she tried to visit lady Yuna at the temple with Alex. Already the priests weren’t able to win an straight argument battle with the little mage, but it was amusing to see them try to find logic arguments to convince her to not bring Alex with her on her check ups with lady Yuna. Her mother also weren’t on good terms with both the priests and the [b]‘old crone’[/b] from the orphanage, as Rika started calling her without any reservations. Rika still continued to send her requests to adopt Alex, though now the priests don’t even reply to them anymore. Naisha wasn’t sure what exactly was going on, but one day her mother received a message sphere from someone. She seemed quite shaken from it and in the next few days, her prized family heirloom sword vanished. Nai tried asking about it, but she didn’t get much of an answer. All that Rika said was that she did what she had to ensure her and Alex’s futures. One day she was going to get the full truth though… [color=6ecff6] “It won’t be pretty soon, but in a few years I will be well on my way to that point!”[/color] Nai was happy at Alex’s statements about her surpassing Lulu soon. Maybe one day it was indeed going to become reality and when that happened, she was going put that power to good use! Magic may have fallen somewhat out of favor since Sin was not around anymore, but powerful mages were respected. Watching Alex take of her clothes and go for a quick swim, Naisha’s eyebrows twitched a little as she remembered something which made her blush a little.[color=6ecff6]” Talking about us as adventurers on a journey I had a pretty strange dream last night…”[/color] The black haired girl said, her cheeks slightly red, and looked to the side, trying to keep her flustered face away from Alex.[color=6ecff6]” We were traveling some strange land… I was actually cured and walked along with you up to some strange town. We rested there in an inn for the night and…”[/color] Nai blushed completely remembering the most hazy parts of her dream. She had no idea why she dreamt that, but it was uncomfortable now. She remembered kissing Alex in her dream… like not on the cheek. It was a real kiss, like that she sometimes caught her parent’s doing! And she did it in front of the entire inn! Nai turned bright red just remembering it, it wasn’t something she can tell Alex about!
