Gippal sighed, he was about to see all his friends again, after a year of being away. As they neared the small village, Gippal turned to his mother and said softly, "I am going to go look around... You can go on ahead to see Aunt Yuna. I'll catch up."

Paine nodded her head, "Alright.... But you better not disappear like you did last time, you nearly gave your father and I a heart attack. If you do it again, I'll kill you."

Gippal gave a rare smile, "Thanks mom, I feel so loved." He turned towards the temple, a quick and easy way to get away from his mother, and besides, Jecht was always there for some reason.

Running a hand through his white hair, and stopping for a moment to take in the sight. His red scanned the village, he always loved coming here. It was always so fresh, so un-modern from Bevelle. One of the few places that remained somewhat the same after Sin was defeated. Which brought back memories of when Jecht and himself would play as "guardians" for Nyx and Aurora.

He placed his left hand casually on his sword, which used to be his mothers when she flew around Spria looking for Spheres. Playing as "guardians" influenced his fighting greatly, always thinking it would be awesome to devote his life to protecting a close friend.

He flapped his black coat a few times, his ideal dress didn't go well with the humid weather in Besaid, but he didn't have a place to leave his Jacket at the moment, and he didn't want to carry it around, so he left it on. The rest of his outfit was black as well, safe for his shirt, which was the only white thing on him except if you counted his hair.

He continued his walk towards the old temple, at least it would be cool inside, the large stone building was always cool in the tropical heat, no matter how hot it was.

His head was on a constant swivel, searching for his long missed friends, Surely they didn't know when he would be arriving....He never told them. He then noticed a very cute girl near the temple. He didn't have to see her face, only her hair and style as she dressed. He smiled and was about to call out her name when he saw Tidus, Yuna and Jecht meeting with her. PERFECT.

Stopping, he leaned against a house just with in hearing distance, but he waited. He didn't like saying hi right when everyone else was saying hi.
