So.

Seymour wants to marry Yuna.

And that means-

You know, that means Tidus right now is going to stab a fiend a few times.

A couple of fiends.

A flock of fiends?

Whatever.

Stabbing now. Thinking later.

The thing is, later comes.

So, yeah, okay. He has to think about this. Or, well, he keeps trying not to think about it, and that's… ( Read more... )

Shelinda says that the death of the Crusaders teaches a lesson.

Only the truly faithful have a hope of defeating Sin, she says, and Tidus tries not to choke, because if there's one thing he knows about his old man, it's that faith isn't something that ever mattered to him ( Read more... )

They get through.

Because of Seymour--and he hates it, okay, fine, but the guy's slime--they get through.

We're bringing Sinspawn from all over Spira here, the Crusader said. Sinspawn inevitably draw Sin, right? We're going to lure it into a trap!Thing is ( Read more... )

Auron's gone off.

Again. He keeps doing that.

He hasn't gone far, though, not this time, and Tidus runs after him without second thought.

"Hey you! Don't just stand there! All of this is your fault!"

It was fine. It was all going great, even, and then Auron was saying something about his story and the world went white ( Read more... )

"All right, boys, what're we gonna do?"

"WIN!"

"For Cap'n Wakka!"

It's a plan, and sometimes--every now and then--Tidus is a fan of plans.

A man with a long red coat (high collar, it hides his face) walks up the steps with the rest of the crowd and finds a seat.

For the moment, he's there to watch.

And wait.

The Goers are asshole, Tidus ( Read more... )

He's pretty sure Wakka is about to die of embarrassment.

It doesn't stop him, really, from grabbing the bullhorn and yelling at the Goers. He'll argue, afterwards, that he did not cackle like a loon after declaring they'd win. But he meant what he yelled.

The Aurochs will take that cup this year ( Read more... )

The problem with being bored is you wander.

The problem with wandering is you're tempted to eavesdrop.

The problem with being Tidus is you give in, and, he finds out as he stands on the steps silently and listens to Wakka and Lulu, the problem with that is you find out things you maybe didn't want to hear.

"There you are!"

Tidus is still half-yawning from a restless night's sleep (I think I had a dream of not being alone and going home) when Wakka booms the greeting at him, followed by a call to the rest of the Aurochs ( Read more... )

"Oh, boy," Wakka groans, and Tidus braces himself for whatever's coming ( Read more... )

He surfaces, and he's hit on the head with a blitzball.

It's the best thing that's happened to him since the tournament.

And Tidus is the star of the Abes (don't forget it) so he shoots the ball back, and it's damned pretty, that shot. The noises made by the team on the shore, as he nears them, confirms the fact ( Read more... )
