Amazingly enough, after a weekend of zipping around like a super-deformed chibi sort of
five-year-old who was also some variety of
superhero -- after all, she and
her sister had nearly thwarted that
weird cat-lady, and had totally intimidated the, uh,
cape-wearing duck -- Rikku's first thought was not "I am never showing my face again." Or even "okay, how did I learn to
speak Squirrel, anyway?"
It was: "Oooooooooh. This time, I don't have a pile of shinies to return! Score."
Hey, sorting out that stuff was always a little embarrassing.
Rikku's second thought, however, was the decidedly more practical, "why is
Reno sleeping on
my floor?"
(FOR HE WHO IS NO LONGER A MEERKAT. AND TOTALLY OPEN, AS WELL.)
