A beautiful day in Besaid, with the hot sun shining, a slight breeze that made the hot day just bearable. While the Cargo ship was unloading it's passengers and loading crates of Besaid hand woven Rugs, always in demand all over spira since during sin. But more so when the ex-summoner Yuna was known to live there.

Everyone was going about their business, not noticing a large white Airship approaching. With the symbol of New Yevon on it's sides, the pure white ship shined as the sun's rays touched it, giving it a majestic look. It was the flag ship of All Airships, found near the original Airship that Cid found a few years ago.

The wind started to pick up suddenly as the ship quickly came to a hover just above the water, to keep from kicking the sand up in peoples faces. The landing gear appeared smoothly and silently, slowly dipping into the water till it touched the submerged sand.

Some people, with nothing to do at the moment, converged in a large group, wondering why it was here. They soon found out, the bottom hatch opened and a small platform slowly slid down so it touched the sand just beyond the touches of the clear blue water.

Two figures walked down and greeted the crowd. The woman, who, despite her position in New Yevon, kept to wearing her black clothes as she did when she flew around sphere hunting with Yuna and Rikku.

Paine thanked the people who welcomed them and slowly worked her way through the crowd. Sighing, she always hated crowds, but she had to be...'nicer' than what she used to be because of her husband.

The young man who closely resembled her with his hair and dark clothing, was her son, Gippal. Tall and handsome like his his father, with red eyes like hers, and spirit to travel like her.

They made their way towards Besaid village to meet their lifelong friends. Gippal silent of course, as he always was. Just like his mother.

"Are you sure you don't want to come back with the Airship?" Paine asked her son for the hundredth time."

He only shook his head and said "Stop worrying mother, for once I want to try traveling on a ship. I'll be fine."

Paine smiled and said, "Well as I told you, it's not that fun.... takes for ever."

Gippal didn't say anything more. Sometimes it was better to go with the silent approach. His mother rarely ever gave up in any fight.
