Lake Macalania «

 
Tromell meets up with Yuna and her guardians
outside of the Lake Macalania travel agency.

Tromell:
Lady Yuna, we've been expecting you.
We were surprised you decided to come so soon.
Pleasantly surprised, of course.
Lord Seymour sends his apologies for having left without notice.

Yuna:
It's quite all right.
I have one question, if I may, sir.

Tromell:
My lady?

Yuna:
I want to keep journeying, even if I marry.
Do you think that Maester Seymour would let me?

Tromell:
But of course, my lady.
Lord Seymour wishes nothing else, I'm sure.
Yuna turns to her guardians.

Yuna:
Goodbye.
She joins Tromell.

Tromell:
Well...
We must follow Guado tradition.
I'll have to ask you to wait here a little while longer.
I'll send someone to escort you.
They turn to leave. Yuna turns back for a moment.

Yuna:
I...

Auron:
We're all with you. Do as you will.

Yuna:
Thank you.
She walks off with Tromell.

Auron:
Sorry.

Tidus:
Hm?

Auron:
That was your line.
Tidus runs ahead to call after Yuna.

Tidus:
Yuna!
He whistles.
Yuna turns back.

Yuna:
Yessir!

Rikku:
Oh, no!

Wakka:
Al Bhed!
Several Al Bhed ride out on the ice on motor sleds, surrounding Yuna and Tromell.
Everyone runs down to defend them.

Auron:
Stand back.

Tromell:
Thank you!
He begins to escort Yuna away, but she breaks free and turns back.
Lady Yuna!
Suddenly, the Al Bhed surrounding them back off.

Brother:
Rikku!
He stands on top of a hill, a large cannon at his side.
Tuh'd ehdanvana un oui kad drec!
Brother shows off his cannon, Crawler.
Ouin bnaleuic magic yht aeons yna caymat!

Rikku:
Oh, no!

Tidus:
Translation?

Rikku:
He's gonna use an anti-magic field on us!

Brother:
Kad dras!

 
The group fights and defeats Crawler.

Tromell:
My lady!
Tromell and Yuna walk off towards the temple.

Brother:
Rikku!
E femm damm Vydran!

Rikku:
E ys dra guardian uv Yuna, oui caa?
Yuna ec cyva! Fa femm kiynt ran! Cra ec cyva!

Brother:
Oui tu drec ymuha, cecdan!
He leaves.
Rikku giggles softly.

Rikku:
I told him I was a guardian.
Well, guess I had to, really.

Wakka:
How come you speak Al Bhed?
Why?

Tidus:
Well, I, uh...

Rikku:
Because I'm Al Bhed. And that...was my brother.
Wakka turns to Tidus and Lulu.

Wakka:
You knew?
They nod.
Why didn't you tell me?

Lulu:
We knew you'd be upset.

Wakka:
This is great.
I can't believe I've been travelling with an Al Bhed! A heathen!

Rikku:
You're wrong! We have nothing against Yevon.

Wakka:
But you Al Bhed use the forbidden machina!
You know what that means?
Sin was born because people used machina!

Rikku:
You got proof? Show me proof!

Wakka:
It's in Yevon's teachings! Not that you'd know!

Rikku:
That's not good enough!
Yevon says this, Yevon says that.
Can't you think for yourself?

Wakka:
Well, then you tell me!
Where did Sin come from, huh?

Rikku:
I...I don't know.

Wakka:
You bad-mouth Yevon and that's all you can come up with?

Rikku:
But...
that doesn't mean you should do whatever they say without thinking!
Nothing will ever change that way!

Wakka:
Nothing has to change!

Rikku:
You want Sin to keep coming back?
There might be a way to stop it, you know!

Wakka:
Sin will be gone once we atone for our past mistakes!

Rikku:
When? How?

Wakka:
If we keep faith in Yevon's teachings it will be gone one day!

Rikku:
Why do I even bother?

Auron:
Rikku!

Rikku:
Mm?

Auron:
Will this move?
He stands next to the motor sleds.

Rikku:
Yes!
She runs over to work on the sleds.

Wakka:
We're not using that, are we?
Wait... Sir Auron isn't Al Bhed too, is he?

Tidus:
Come on, Wakka...

Wakka:
What?

Tidus:
I mean, getting angry just 'cause you found out Rikku's an Al Bhed...
You guys got along fine till now, didn't you?

Wakka:
That's different, I mean...

Tidus:
Well, I don't claim to know that much about Spira.
And I probably know even less about the Al Bhed, but...
I know Rikku's a good person.
She's just Rikku!

Wakka:
Lu?

Lulu:
Just think of this as an opportunity to learn more about the Al Bhed.

Wakka:
Ha!
He walks off.
Tidus starts after him.

Auron:
Let him go.
Give him time to think.
Rikku gets up from fixing the sleds.

Rikku:
I'm sorry.

Lulu:
You've done nothing to apologize for.

Tidus:
All right! Let's ride!

Rikku:
You sure you know how to drive this?

Tidus:
Better than Kimahri does!
Tidus boards a sled and Rikku hops on behind him.
