[color=7B68EE]"...Ah... That's right." [/color] Saina's eyebrows raised as she looked to the pale-haired brothers once more. Even as the bright lights invaded the purity of the space inside the temple, she appeared not to notice it. [color=7B68EE]"You are... blitzball players. I suppose then we will have to allow time for your necessary..."[/color] Her voice trailed off as though she were looking for the correct terminology, as though the concept of what blitzball was was completely foreign to her. [color=7B68EE]"...duties..."[/color] Was that right? Duty? She frowned. No, no that... couldn't be the right word. By her expression it was obvious she knew it, but decided to move forward to look at the summoner. [color=7B68EE]"Perhaps then, as they prepare and perform those... rituals... I and her ladyship can prepare supplies from the village come morning. I'm certain the task should be simple with the specific residents of Besaid."[/color] She of course meant Tidus, Yuna and the rest of them. Saina looked to Eva, her expressionless face back once again. [color=7B68EE]"Should her ladyship feel she agrees, she can meet me in front of the temple tomorrow morning. If she has other things to attend to, I shall look into the task myself and... perhaps, if time permits, take a look into this... 'Blitzball' everyone loves so much."[/color] Upon mentioning blitzball, she turned her eyes back to the brothers, nodding at them both. [color=7B68EE]"It would be nice to see the craft you two hold in such high regard in action. I... look forward to it."[/color] With a touch of a smile warming her face, she nodded her head to the two of them before once again nodding to Eva. [color=7B68EE]"Your ladyship,"[/color] With that, the pale woman departed the Besaid temple. Many people peered at her as she exited but she paid them no mind. Her head turned to the stars and her blue eyes reflected their brilliance. After gently closing them and taking a deep breath, Saina began to relax. What a long day. Off to the side, she spotted a trail that led down to the cliffside just tucked beneath the Temple. She turned to it and made her way down the cliffside overlooking the beach and the ocean before coming to a cozy overhang with enough space for three people to lay down on with ample space. She truly felt herself relax once she was away from the eyes of others, a soft sigh escaping her lips as she undid her cloak, allowing it to drape down and fold over the ground gracefully. With a stretch, her hands moved up to remove the ponytail from her hair. As she undid the band she felt her hair follicles nearly eek in joy as the blood rushed back into her scalp which she promptly massaged to help its flow. Even now her ebony and blue hair danced surreally in the oceanic breeze. Unhindered by the laws of physics, or so it seemed, her hair moved as though she were underwater. A small side effect of her magic, she assumed. She usually wore her hair in a ponytail to hide this strange phenomenon and usually it went completely unnoticed. As though she needed anything else to make her look strange aside from skin like snow in this mad world. She pressed her body against the warm stone of the cliffs and sank down against it. How cozy this place was... if only there wasn't a village over her head, she could see herself just living here forever. Reaching out, the tips of her fingers managed to grab her cloak and wrap it around herself. Tonight wasn't the kind of night she could kick her shoes off and remove her skant clothing aside from the cloak, she decided. She had already placed her katana beside her. She wasn't cold--she was [i]never[/i] cold. But sleep didn't feel right without a blanket of some kind. Her eyes slowly closed as she stared out at the ocean and the stars beyond, trusting the gods to watch over her this night. --------- With the cries of the gulls and the sun breaking the horizon into a beautiful dance of purple and orange hues, Saina's eyes cracked open. Morning... She rose up, nearly finding herself dizzy as her blood began its recirculation. With a soft groan, she took the cloak that had covered her last night and tied it snuggly around her waist, put her hairband on her wrist and her katana on her back. Before going to see the summoner, she decided to refresh herself. Her stare meeting the rising sun head on, the pale woman ran and leapt off of the cliff and into the sea.
