Characters: Forgotten Continent Team
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: They found Garden
Location: Galbadia
Date: November, 1803
Warnings: None

Locke and Rinoa had been walking most of the day, but Moguo had assured them that the Galbadia Garden was over in the southeast corner of the continent.  Locke spied a metal glint over the crest of the next hill. Pointing in the direction of the Garden, Locke assured Rinoa that they had almost arrived at their location.

As they rounded the top of the last hill, Locke stopped cold as the familar form of Tidus walked in front of the Garden, relaxing only when he spied the familiar head of green hair.

Rinoa shook her head - not because she was disagreeing with anyone, but because it was just too much to take in.

"Okay, okay," she said, trying to make sense of it all, "so... Map, infirmary, dormitories, cafeteria, the bridge. We wanna look around, unpack, clean this place up, then get moving, right? Maybe all at once, I don't know. But I know I'm only one person and I'm tired and I don't wanna try and fly this thing just yet. I'll take anyone who wants to come up to the bridge - there's a computer and an intercom thing there. Okay?"

She didn't wait for an answer; she started moving towards the elevator, gesturing for everyone to follow.

"Leave your stuff there if you want. I don't think anyone else is here to steal it. Come on!"

If a couple of people wanted to wait there, that was fine by Rinoa. And if they were so keen on a map, she'd find them a map.

While he was indeed concerned about his friends and comrades, he was resigned to the fact that he was limited in what he could do for them at the moment. He knew he couldn't get this Garden moving. He knew he didn't know his way around.

He knew he would do whatever he could to help, but listening to everyone argue only served to bring a grin to his face. As they continued bickering, Locke burst out laughing at the sight.

The tension in Rydia's shoulders eased a bit as she turned around. Everyone was on edge thanks to what happened to them and those they cared about, that was all. She tried to ignore any irritation felt, knowing that a blow-up wouldn't do them any good. Instead, she raked a hand through her hair and nodded. "Fine, let's go to the bridge."

Rydia darted Locke a puzzled look at that, then set down the supplies she had brought aboard, out of the way so that no one would trip. She was more interested in finding a map at the moment, and with that in mind she followed Rinoa to the elevator. The supplies could be retrieved once she had a better sense of the layout--and truth be told, the Garden gave her the impression that any supplies she brought was unnecessary, anyway.

The unexpected use of her title had Ashe looking round - she hadn't even realised Reks had been among them, so concerned with finding shelter, protection for her baby, and with thoughts of Rasler.

"Forgive me," she began, speaking quietly to him, "I... I had not taken the time to speak with you." The young mother-to-be was physically drained from worry and the entire ordeal; now, her tiredness was beginning to show. Though the others would undoubtedly go on to investigate, to organise, Ashe knew she needed to resist the temptation to involve herself in that and rest.

Rather than stating so (something the princess would never do out of principle) she simply closed the distance between herself and the nearest bench, sinking down with a sigh, looking to Reks whilst Rinoa headed off into the elevator. Tidus had been 'ordered' to stay with her, however, if he stood a chance of getting the electricals operational, then he needed to go.

"I'll be fine," she breathed, slowly rubbing her prominent stomach. "The walk from Troia was... further than expected."

Hi, I've been fail. You are allowed to kill me slowly and painfully in whatever manner you wish

Tidus looked after Rinoa, back at Ashe, then back at Rinoa again before just shaking his head to try and settle it. He'd promise to look after Ashe, but they were inside now, right? She'd be okay... right? It looked like they were the only three with any idea what all these machina did, so-

Fortunately, Reks showed up. Tidus had no clue who he was, but he seemed to know Ashe, and that led to an easy way to deal with this. "Hey, sorry about this, but I should go see what we're dealing with - if it's out of my league, I'll come back, but do you think you can help her out for me? It'd REALLY help."

Still, he wouldn't just run off and leave her - instead, Tidus crossed over to the supplies Rydia had brought inside and found a couple of blankets; shaking them out, he jogged back to the bench and draped them around Ashe's shoulders to keep her warm. "I'll let you know what's going on!" he called back as he turned to dash after Rinoa and Cloud.
