Auron, Lady Yuna and Tidus had quite a full day today. They traveled from Luca to Lindblum, for they are worried about Rikku and her absence, and it has worn them out. Auron was worried, but Yuna and Tidus were very visibly worried. He did not know the girl very well, but he knew of her relation to Yuna. The trip was long but they finally arrived at the inn. When they each arrived in their rooms, they found that they were in dire need of rest.

Auron bade goodbye to the couple as they left to shop for their unborn child. He did not wish to bother them and, admittedly, he wished for a good sake. Hurm, but where to find a drink? Auron ventured forth, asking the locals every so often, until he finally reached a pub. He was relieved when he found that he was largely ignored.

"Sake," he told the bartender when he inquired what drink he would like. He drank the sake alone and in silence, contemplating the state of things and of this Emperor they battled.

He wasn't sure exactly how long had passed since the battle, but Cid was still on the road to recovery; about at the end of it, but still there. Such was the effect of fighting a Lucavi on one's own. Despite the bed rest he needed, the Brigadier General was going stir-crazy staying cooped up in his inn room all day. He needed fresh air, a walk, and maybe a drink.

These three things led him to the business district, where he walked into the first pub he saw, a place he vaguely remembered walking into a few times in the past. Cid sat himself down at the bar, ignoring the usual stares he got for being his height, and quickly ordered a drink.

The guardian peered over and cocked an eyebrow at the man who sat nearby. He appeared rather exhausted, more so than an average person. His height was not quite an issue to Auron as others; Ronsos and a few Guado were taller, after all.

"I would recommend sake or whiskey," he gruffly said to man. "Better for these long days."

"Sake perhaps, then," Cid murmured. A warm drink did sound good, come to think of it.

Though he only hoped it would help with the headache.

"Serve him as you served me," he told the bartender shortly. Auron drank his sake slowly, enjoying the warmth and relaxation. It only got his mind back to the self-fashioned Emperor of Pandaemonium.

"Hurm," he said mostly to himself, audibly annoyed. That man was surely the beginning of utter chaos and wanted to deal with him personally. This man had no right! He claimed to be allowed to murder people at a whim, when truly his head was up his own ass. What a fool.

"Hurm," he repeated but more harshly this time.
