Oh no, that silence had Rydia hoping she didn't give Red brain damage or something worse. She, of all people, should have been more savvy in regards to the effect of drawing magic from human beings, seeing she was kind of the advance Para-Magic Instructor. Rydia could blame that on her own memory loss, but honestly, it wasn't like they spent a whole week discussing it. It should have been fine; Rydia didn't see why not. And she was super grateful once Red spoke and didn't pass out. "Oh awesome! You had me worried there for a second, girl." Because she would have thrown Red onto the pile of stuff to haul back to Garden if needed; she just didn't want it to come down to that.
A giggle came from Rydia as they linked arms and started heading in the direction of Balamb Garden. "Nope! No buggies munching on us! We are not noms and we'll show them who's boss!" She was beyond thrilled with the development of everything that occurred that afternoon. Even more so that she was able to bond with Red, because Rydia was a massive fan of everything magic related. Sharing that with someone else made for a happy Black Mage. Until next time, when they acquired an actual vehicle to haul this crap around and headed to the beach! The effects of Thunder on sand! The subtitle could be "lovely glass sculptures or a deadly death from below!?" Whatever it was, Rydia was game.
(( the end??? :O unless you want to keep going! I'm totally good either way :D but we need to do more with them, because all of this was hilarious and awesome! ))
