Rikku was getting to know the town pretty well. The Nataasan had been staying in the area for a while now, and whenever they needed supplies from town, it was usually Rikku who pulled the job to go run errands. For one thing, of the crew, she was best with the common tongue. She was quite proud of her lack of accent, thank-you-very-much. For another thing, the others were usually pretty ready for a break from her. Today they needed various foodstuffs, and Rikku walked from vendor to vendor, haggling a little and generally making some good deals. She'd even splurged on a bit of candy.
She liked her occasional day-trips into the town, but she still wore her goggles when walking around. She was getting to know people here, and that was good, but she wasn't about to press her luck until her reputation was a little steadier. Rikku shifted her supply bag a little higher up on her shoulder, swirling a lollipop in her mouth as she headed towards the bakery. That was when a boy about her age pushed off a nearby stoop and followed after her with a whistle. Rikku ignored it.
For the better part of a block the guy followed her, offering up a great deal of catcalling he must have believed to be deeply flattering. Rikku continued to attempt to ignore it, all the while really itching to introduce his nose to the back of his brain and empty his pockets for her troubles.
"Hey, baby... why don't you take the bug-eyes off? A pretty girl shouldn't hide her eyes."
Rikku paused, pinched the bridge of her nose, and sighed deeply. Well, he'd asked for it. She whipped around, braids flying around her face, and took a few steps closer to him. She invaded his space, getting right under his nose. Then she pushed the goggles up.
He jolted unexpectedly at the sight, stumbling backwards a bit. Rikku bared her teeth and hissed. That did it. He took off at a run, and Rikku dissolved into a fit of giggles. Okay. That was fun.
