Gippal looked to Alex as she muttered "Don't lie to her..." He opened his mouth but she growled that she was going to find Nai's Parents. Closing his mouth and eyes he shook his head for a moment. Looking back to Nai as he noticed Urick urging everyone else to leave. 

He looked at Nai and into her red eyes from crying. She then started with don't leave me behind. Gippal closed his eyes for a second, guilt runing through him as they had a similar conversation like this 5 years before. She then mentioned him being a Guardian, he didn't tell her that how did she know? She then said she wanted to go with him, even if she couldn't become a Guardian and said she would go on her own from Luca to find Thane on her own. 

Gippal shook his head, "NO..." But before he could finish his sentence the thief, Sifen started talking about airships and how he was on one. He thought the guy had left the room and started to get irritated that he was still there butting in his conversation with Nai. He then continued to sit down on the otherside of the bed and talk like they were friends. Gippal narrowed his eyes at the man. He then punched Nai in the arm after asking he didn't hit her too hard. Gippal was shocked at this mans obviousness. At which his wide eyes at seeing the punch turned to a narrow glare and his fist's tightened. "Dude, what's wrong with you?" He stood up and moved over to the man pulling him roughly up from the bed. 

Sifen was slightly taller, and muscular from working on machines, but Gippal was just as muscular from 5 years of intense fighting/training. Too add to that he was pissed at this man, for being clumsy and falling on Nai, now punching her, even if it was lightly. They've already said she was in a weakened state and her body couldn't take normal blows like everyone else could. Perhaps it was because he almost lost her and now is being over protective. He didn't care. He shoved the man backwards and out of the door. " What are you thinking man!? She almost died a few minutes ago, you come in here, trying to steal the medical droid, which was being used to help her at the time, then you trip and fall right on top of her acting like it's no big deal, and then you punch her? I don't care who you are, you come near her again I will drop you." 

He slammed the door and let out a few long breaths before walking back to Nai and sitting down next to her. Looking at the wall for a few moments collecting his thoughts he then said, "Nai, Thane is a really dangerous man. I don't want you going after him." He let out a sigh and looked over at her. "I spent the last two years running from him and not showing my face to anyone I cared about because I knew he would do this. He promised it actually. I didn't want you to get hurt. But obviously you did. Because of me." 

He knew he just promised to stay by her and help her through this. But he was also a Guardian. All he wanted was to make sure Nai and Alex were safe. But he also knew his friends. They will probably head out on their own anyway after he left. And if they didn't Thane might come back and try to finish the job just to mess with him. 

"But I made a promise to you that I wont leave you to deal with this on your own. I always Keep my promises even if it takes me a while. Ill talk to Eva, I'm sure she will let you come along." He looked her in the eyes. "No way i'm letting you travel alone."

Urick looked to Saina as she mentioned of looking after her chocobo. His eyes glanced from Eva to Maximus quickly, and as if she read his thoughts she said that they should go gather supplies. He quickly gave a nod of Approval. 

He was also worried on how to introduce Maximus to Eva, since he didn't like speaking and all. But the man who seemed a little spooked earlier seemed to take the idea into his own hands. Introducing himself and asking to join Eva...who agreed. He shook his head. She was too trusting, she always was. Though he did agree with her decision with Maximus he still didn't approve of Sifen. 

Remembering Sifen he looked around and almost on cue he saw him back inside being thrown out of the room Gippal and Naisha were in. Gippal Yelling at him not to come back in, threatening to drop him. Urick groaned. Why Eva. Why. 

He looked to Saina  and started to move towards her, Eva in Tow. Hopefully the others will understand he wanted to go right then.
