He trapped her hand under his own the third time, and Rikku was certain she was going to die. Damn that man and his all-knowing eyeball of doom she would get him yet. She was beginning to think he was psychic. She didn't buy that for one second for one, he only HAD one eye, and for two, she was absolutely positive and ready to bet her shorts - and these were her favourite shorts, too - that it had remained closed for the entire time. "How did you know?" she asked in irritation as she tucked the tool away in her pouch. Then he told her to put the knife away, and puzzlement faded into annoyance. He told her not to even think about it, and she was baffled. Not that she could tell, what with that huge red collar pulled up around the lower half of his face. He hadn't moved at all well, except for his lips. She froze when he spoke, her eyes darting to his face in shock. There wasn't an Al Bhed in the books who could pull one over Rikku, no sirree. When she was certain he had drifted to sleep, she slowly crept off her ledge and slunk over towards him, knife in hand. She waited until she was sure his shallow breaths had evened out then she waited some more. She was already fingering the small knife in her pouch when his eye slid closed. Which might put a not-so-small dent in the effectiveness of his boots. She was going to need a dagger to sever the straps that were holding it in place. "Problem?" she asked cheerfully, slyly scoping out the glint of the coin on his footwear as he leaned his head back against the stone pillar. So, she tossed the fruit in her hand carelessly back and forth in the air, until she heard him grunt in annoyance. She might have felt guilty about harassing him when he was so obviously unwell - if it wasn't for the fact that he was a GREAT BIG STUPID HEAD. He looked a little under the weather, she noticed as she surreptitiously cased him over. They were in Guadosalam both she and Auron had opted to stay outside of the Farplane. Beggars couldn't be choosers besides, what kind of person tied gil onto their shoes as accessories? She was really just saving him from a terrible fashion mistake. Instead she went for the lone piece of gil decorating his shoe. The second time Rikku wasn't going for his gil even a careful questioning of Tidus and a staredown with Kimahri hadn't managed to unearth the location of his mysterious gil pouch. She'd have to be a little more careful next time there was always tomorrow. He had simply pointed further up the road at Yuna with the gentlemanly offer of 'ladies first.' So he wasn't going to turn his back on her? Well, poop. She waited for him to turn around and stalk off so that she could stick her tongue out, but he remained there, staring at her. "It won't happen again, I promise!" He only grunted and released her with a warning look. "Sorry," she said, pulling her hands behind her back and surreptitiously crossing her fingers. His incredulous gaze made it clear what he thought about her explanation, so she laughed weakly. chasing Yuna?" she had offered with a wan smile. He lowered the shades just enough to glare at her with his one good eye from over their rim and ask her what she thought she was doing. She wondered briefly how he had noticed his hand had snaked out and arrested her own before she had even managed to get inside his coat at all. Rikku left the confused blonde behind on the pretence of having to 'catch up with Yuna.' And if she just happened to brush a little too close by the big grump, who was to say it wasn't a simple, unfortunate accident?Īpparently he was one to say, as he caught her arm and yanked her backwards before she could pass him. When she finally saw the flash of a not-so-familiar red coat pass them by, she heaved a quiet sigh of relief and quickly excused herself from the conversation. She kept on chatting with Tidus - it was rather difficult, considering that she practically had to holler her words directly into his ear for him to hear them - but it did help with her plan, which was to hold him back from the others. In other words, it was the perfect time to strike. She was certain the men had been dazzled by the grenade tossing skills she had displayed earlier if not dazzled, at least slightly stunned and still partially deafened from the blast.

She considered it only fair after all, it was payback for that embarrassing eye-check thing he'd done to her, and in front of everybody else, too! It was a good thing that almost all the men in the group were so clueless all but the eyeball-checker himself and Kimahri, and at least the latter knew how to keep his muzzle shut. The first time Rikku tried to grab Auron's money, they were at the Moonflow.
