(Next morning!)

Gippal woke up early despite going to bed late well intothe morning. He stretched and yawned before rolling out of bed and onto the floor. At which he took his time to get up and scratch his head. His mind, slow with the fog of sleep slowly worked until the thought came to his mind that they were to get on the ship today. Sometime around noon. He had about 5 hours of filling to do. He already spent time with Aunt Yuna and Lulu. Uncle Waka as well. Perhaps he would go to the temple. He hadn't been there in forever. It was calm in there.

Throwing on his clothes and jacket he went for the door and looked down at his sword. He wouldn't need it but something nagged at him that he should take it. So after a moment he grabbed it and walked out the door. On e outside he took a deep breath and sighed at the cool morning air. The village was coming to life slowly. Finishing cleaning up and preparing stalls for last minute buys before the crowd leaves. 

He made his way to the temple and stepped inside. The silence of the temple was powerful, broken by the foot falls of himself which echoed loudly. He looked up at the former summoners who defeated Sin... It all seemed ancient and another world away. In the center of the round hall was Aunt Yuna, the largest of them all. Flowers and candles littered the ground before her, many people still honored her and she was one who stood for all summoners who passed away or attempted to kill sin. Her generation was the last of Summoners.... It was sad, to lose such a skill and history. There had been no Aeons or summoners for 20 years. Yet he wished it was still here. To see such magnificent creatures... He often wished he could have been apart of it. Even though he learns from his aunt that it was flawed. Still the fact of protecting a special person to finish a mission to save the world was something he wanted to experience.

He noticed something out of the corner of his eye. A woman with long black hair and a katana laid accrossed her lap sat in a corner with her eyes watching him. He raised an eyebrow and said. "Good morning." She nodded her head slightly and replied. " Morning" 

Gippal made his way slowly to her and said. " the temple is a beautiful place to see. I often woul come here to enjoy its calm, and imagine what the summoners went through... My name is Gippal by the way. What's yours?"

The woman cocked her head to the side. "My name is Tallia. And yes the temple is a peaceful place. I often go to the one in Kilika where I'm from. But I already know you, it's hard not to know a star blitzball player who is the son of the leader of New Yevon. My father and I are avid watchers. Though my sister is clueless to the game. "

Gippal smiled as he was glad this woman was not swooning over him. It was nice and all but it was much more when someone knew him but kept their head. "So did you come to follow the team then?" He asked 

Tallia shook her head and said, I've been looking for my sisters. She ran away from home yesterday, sure to come here. She has a fascination with Summoners and wants to visit the all the Temples. I'm here incase she Comes back Before the first boat or airship leaves."
