A/N: Dedicated to owlmoose, Baralai/Yaibal prompt. Yaibal needs a tag pronto! Pretty pwease? :3
“Yevon scum!”
Shrill, reluctant, faltering - this insult only falls on distracted ears.
Baralai blinks, dubious, and stands from his praying position before Braska’s statue. Boy no younger than fifteen fidgets under his inquisitive look and spats in defense to his accusatory silence. “W-what?”
“Pardon me, but... were you talking to me?”
“Y... yeah! Who else wears the symbols of Yevon here?”
“Who are you, may I ask?”
“Yaibal! I came here first! These Besaid spheres are now property of the Youth League!”
Incoming attempts of a wannabe bully does not amuse him. Baralai sighs, tempted to pick on the Youth League’s “new guy." Islander kids run inside from the village, tripping over bare feet while tagging each other.
Mental light switches on.
“Hello, children.”
“Hi, Sir Priest~!”
“Hey! Don’t ignore m--!”
“I need your help, everyone. Listen to what I am about to tell you: this boy is true evil. He wants to steal High Summoner Yuna by tricking her to join the Youth League.”
Chorus of angry shrieks resound. Yaibal pales and sputters and collapses on carpet when several children latch onto his limbs and tackle him down.
“What?! That’s not true! He lies! He lies~!”
