"I've been there before," Rikku chirped. "Actually I took Jude skateboarding there? Nobody lives there any more, it's all rocky and there are tunnels in the lower parts, but the Guado are really old and they remember stuff from a really long time ago, and they mentioned it offhand like 'Why don't you go back there, where you used to be?' and didn't realize none of us even knew we used to live there."

The Al Bhed had been scattered many times; there weren't a lot of keepsakes or records of history. They just rebuilt and did their best to move forward.

"Nobody minds me being a girl," she said honestly. "I think they were worried about me being short and bouncy, but if you can fight, you can fight, and they need all the help they can get. I'm trying to do some basic training, with the recruits. Just How to Stay Alive 101."

"... Have you been sleeping outside? Like, in the rain and all of that? That's not good! You're gonna catch a cold! You need, like, a huuuuge tarp, and super-huge quilts and everything!"

Or else more Shrivels, but Rikku was totally going to send some of those express.

"I still think that's awesome," she decided. "You can go and be, like, an archeologist and write a new history for the Al Bhed, based on what you find."

Yes, she truly thought this was a good idea.

"Short and bouncy's the best kind of fighter. You and Buffy." Not that Buffy really bounced much anymore when she fought, but still. "They're lucky to have you. How's Reno? How thrilled were you to see him again?"

"Yeeeah," she admitted, "and let us not talk about the bathroom facilities that aren't. It's like Gulliver's Travels and Girl Scouts all rolled into one long...thing."

"It's where my Godhand was," Rikku said, her voice a bit awed at the thought. "So I guess that's a good tip-off, right? Maybe the Guado know more."

She couldn't believe she was thinking about asking them.

"How is Buffy, anyway? Is she there, in the castle-thing? And there were epic tackleglomps, over here. And then trying to drag all my luggage because I'm so sticking around until Reno kicks me out."

Or, more likely, until something else back home went wrong again.

"The bad thing about growing up in the desert," Rikku said, trying not to giggle, "is that most of the plants you could hide behind are prickly."
