Irvine stayed behind in the ship a little bit, leaving his bow in the ship, but taking his crossbow as a precaution. He looked at Brother and called out, "Come on, Bro, we got people to save, pilots to pick up."

He understood his impatience with this girl, because quite frankly, he was feeling the same thing for a certain someone waiting for him.

From:

Hearing an airship land, Gabranth looked around, spotting it. He still held Yuna in his arms, and she really wasn't in good shape. She was still battered and bruised, and whilst he'd managed to keep her quite warm there was only so much warmth you could get through a suit of armour. "There is someone calling your name, Lady Yuna," he murmured, turning to carry her in the direction of the airship.

She wasn't heavy. He'd carried her a fair distance through the marshlands and she hadn't even slightly began to weigh on his back, and he was nearing forty. Frowning slightly, he held her protectively, wanting to ensure these people weren't going to harm the small woman. He even went as far as to cuddle her up in one arm, drawing his larger blade for protection.

Brother came running out of the airship excited at the prospect of seeing Yuna. He was shocked senseless seeing a limp Yuna. She hadn't even looked this back after defeating sin.

Running quickly to get close to Yuna, he screamed "You no hurt Yuna!"

From:

Irvine looked at Brother running out, but then turned his attention to the man readying a weapon. Quickly he drew his crossbow at the man, and waiting for any sign of danger. He yelled out to his friend, "Be careful Brother, I don't know what this man wants to do!" He glared at the man, the thought he saw him at the party, but at the moment he saw a weapon, a weak woman, and his new ally running towards them. Anything happened, his sharpshooting would kick in instantly.

From:

Gabranth sighed slightly, rolling his eyes as he sheathed his sword. "Your friends are fools," he muttered to Yuna, shifting her to rest in both his arms again. Striding towards Brother and Irvine with confident steps, he kept Yuna close to him.

"Lay down your weapons. I've no intent on harming the Lady Yuna." His words were spoken in an official tone and without bothering to say anything else he walked right past Brother and Irvine, and right onto the airship. To say he was indifferent about them was overstating things.

Brother was a jumbled mess of emotion. He was happy that Yuna was safe, but she sure didn't look well to him.

He quickly followed the grumpy old man back into his ship, rushing ahead only to grab blankets, pillows, potions, water.

"You need anything Yuna, Brother will get it for you!"

From:

Irvine had no intention on hurting anyone, but he still had to keep his guard up as the man in the armor walked past him into the ship. He went over to the woman.

She's was pretty, but looked like she'd been through hell.

He sighed and replied, "Brother, we don't got the time, we need to pick up the rest of our friends. I'll look over Yuna, trust me." He then glanced at the man and replied, "I don't trust you too much sir, but thanks for keeping her safe, it means a lot to our pilot."

From:

Gabranth shook his head slightly. "'Twould be foolish of you to trust a man you've never met before, yet I assure you both that I mean no harm to Lady Yuna." Settling her down, Noah sat at her side, looking to the men in the room. "'Tis better for you both to continue your rescue work. I shall ensure Lady Yuna's safety."

Just to be sure that Brother and Irvine believed he wasn't going to up and muder the woman, Gabranth took Yuna's hand in both of his, letting his gaze rest on her marred face. "Lady Yuna, you know I mean you no ill, do you not?"

What should have been a joyous occasion for him had turned somber.

"Brother needs to rescue other pilots. You call for me if you need anything, and I be here."

Head down, Brother walked back up to the bridge somberly.

From:

Irvine glared at the man, and answered, "Fair enough, but one false move on her sir, and I'll make sure you get out while in flight."

He changed his focus to the woman again and stated, "Lady Yuna is it? Irvine Kinneas, SeeD. I need you to stay with us for a while, we have an important mission. If you need any help, please do not hesitate to ask." With then he looked at the man one more time, and nodded, before walking back to the bridge with Brother.

From:

Gabranth rolled his eyes at Irvine then looked back to Yuna. "Milady, is there anything I may do to ease your pain?" So, he was upstaging her weird cousin and the cowboy, so what? Yuna needed to be taken care of and, currently, he was the only man for the job.

In all honesty, he was quite taken with her, as well...

Brother sat back down in his seat, punching the thrusters starting them on their way to Ambervale and Irvine's girl. Despite the trouble he was having concentrating on the flight, he managed a smooth takeoff.

He turned on the intercom, "Yuna?, You still ok! Brother told Tidus, he keep you safe."

From:

Irvine was right beside Brother, taking his chair in the co-pilot seat. He didn't like leaving her back there with some stranger. But like she said if he wanted her dead, he would have done it already. Still he couldn't trust someone farther than he could throw them. Then again, he just met Brother so who knows what he had in store as well.

Maybe he was just being paranoid.

When Brother went on the intercom, Irvine couldn't help but ask, "Tidus?"

From:

Giving Yuna's hand a gentle squeeze between both of his, a slight nod came from Noah and he let his voice lower as he murmured, "I shan't leave you." He had seen something in Yuna that reminded him of someone but he just couldn't place who. Her weakness meant nothing to him, as he just knew she had a strength inside that was beyond compare.

However, the moment was certifiably ruined as Brother's shrill voice screeched over the intercom, and Gabranth rolled his eyes slightly. Reaching for a bowl of warm water and a wash cloth, he began to clean the visible wounds he could, without overstepping any personal boundaries.

He was a monster, but he was a gentleman.

Brother held his breath for a moment before responding, "Tidus is Yuna's boyfriend. He's supposed to be dead, but...Yuna need him."

From:

Hearing the news, Irvine's head lowered as he stated, "I'm sorry...I-I didn't know..." He always hated talking about death. He nodded and replied, "We better get the others..." Avoiding talks like that was the only thing causing him not to get anymore depressed.
