What: relaxing :D
Rating: PG13 (just to be safe)



The sun was shining brightly and the sky had nary a cloud in it. The horrizon blended almost seamlessly with the calm blue ocean and somewhere not far away, the sound of seagulls could be heard mingling with the waves as they lapped up against the concrete walls of Balambs harbor. Everything was calm and peacefull, and the only disturbance was a gentle breeze that came blowing in from across the beautiful sea. All in all, it could be considered a perfect day.

At the end of a pier, a blond girl sat, her feet dangling over the edge, fishing pole in hand. The bobber drifted lazily on the ocean current, as her swirled green eyes stared at it. Her expression slowly changing the longer she looked at it. Finally, the girl stood up, reeled the line in, and shoved her hands rather violently into the air.

"I. am so. BORED!!!" she yelled, disturbing the peace, the quiet, and the gulls all in one breath. "Three hours and not a single bite! I thought fishing was supposed to be relaaxxiinnnggg" she gave a bit of a whine, before finally sighing and looking around. No one seemed to be there, maybe...it wouldn't hurt anything...

The girl set down her fishing pole and started removing parts of her outfit. The ruffled sleeves, her leggings and shoes, and her skirt and her scarf. One by one she removed them, until only her swimsuit remained. Then she looked around one more time before walking to the opposite end of the pier. She wanted to get a running start for this after all. Jumping up and down a few times to get ready, Rikku plowed headlong toward the end of the pier, leaping into the air to perform a spiral maneuver that ended in a diving position. Nothing like a little swim to take care of a bored mood afterall!

"Nope, not that I know of" Locke said, shaking his head in apology

Rikku shook her head as well. "Esthar? Never heard of it.But there's a lot of places around here I haven't been to yet." She placed one hand on her chin, swirly green eyes glancing upward in thought.

"Why are you heading there? And...what kind of a place is it?" She asked curiously.

Locke frowned as he reached into his pocker and pulled out a map, where he got a map he didn't know........oh wait, he nabbed from the airship lot, that's right. He opened it up before nodding, and closing it, passing the folded map to Krile. "Here this might help"

OOC: Sorry...I was sick this time.

"Well, even I don't really know what kind of place it is. I was just heading there because...well, have you heard about the virus? I hear they're researching there, and I wanted to help. But if I can't even manage to get there, I don't know what kind of help I'll be," Krile answered sadly, looking back and forth between the two people in front of her.

She stepped forward and took the map in Locke's hand, opening it to see if she could make any sense of it. "The truth is...this is the biggest world I've ever seen. I don't usually get so lost."

After locating Balamb on the map, Krile traced a quick line to the place labeled as Esthar. She laughed quietly for a moment. "Well, it really was across the sea. I just took the wrong boat, I guess." She folded the map again and handed it back to Locke. "Thank you. You might need this again."

Rikku blinked. "A virus? And you're heading right into it? Shouldn't you try to get some outside information first, instead of risking your life like that? Is there anyone on the inside that you can contact?" Normally Rikku wouldn't be so careful, but diseases were a lot harder to deal with than fiends.

"What about you?" She asked, glancing over at Locke. "Where are you going?" She was curious because everyone in this town seemed to be going somewhere else. Including herself eventually.

Locke shook his head. "I'm not going anwhere actually" he said, before tapping his chin. "Well I'm going to the Garden tomorrow, but besides that. Nope, no where else"

"That's the thing," Krile said sadly. "No one knows much at all about it. And think of all those poor people who are already in the middle of it? Although...I don't really have much resistance to stuff like that. Maybe you're right."

After listening to Locke explain that he was going nowhere specific, Krile couldn't help but wonder what that would be like. Even during her days traveling with Bartz, Reina, and Faris, she had always had a goal, somewhere to be, a deadline... and since then, though she had been wandering, her focus had been on others. Always when she stopped somewhere, she stopped because a group of people needed help.

What would it be like to live only for oneself? She was too tired to think about it now.

"Thanks you talking to me today, you guys. I think...I think I learned a lot, even if you didn't mean to teach me." With that, Krile finally left for good. She collapsed onto her bed and quickly fell asleep.
