[Final Fantasy X] [Rikku, Lulu] [Rated E] Weather
Title: Weather
Fandom/Pairing: Final Fantasy X; Rikku, Lulu
Rating: ESRB Rating of E for Everyone < none >
Summary: It's cold in Macalania. Pity for Rikku she's not even wearing pants.
Notes: For leviathanmirror's request: Rikku, Macalania
It's not that she's not proud of what she is. As a general rule, the Al Bhed are resourceful, clever, creative, unorthodox. She loves being Al Bhed, cra mujac draen myhkiyka, she loves their language, she loves Al Bhed fashion and Al Bhed metallurgy and Al Bhed goggles. She even loves her eyes.
What she doesn't love is the fact that Al Bhed fashion is designed for warm climates. Most of Spira has a warm climate, so it wouldn't normally be a problem.
But a skin-tight diving shirt, ruffly short-shorts, with nary a sleeve nor a legging in sight is not an outfit made for traversing hills and hills of snow. Even unflappable, un-discomfit-able Lulu looks a mite shivery considering that there's snow on the ground, snow in the air, and, in fact, snow everywhere. Forecast for the next two weeks: cold and colder, with heavy amounts of, you guessed it, snow.
They all trek up a hill, then down it again. And, of course, there's another hill. After that, though, is a long flat stretch. It doesn't look any warmer than the rest of Macalania.
"Wish I'd borrowed a jacket from Rin's," Rikku says to Lulu, when her chattering teeth let her talk coherently.
Lulu looks down at her, face carelessly sculpted into a pristinely amused, vaguely surprised expression. After a moment, she unslings her pack from over her shoulder. "I should have a Fire Moomba doll in here somewhere."
Rikku digs through it with a noise of glee so audible Auron turns his head to give her a Look. She doesn't notice. Her chattering teeth and locked jaw render her Immune to his grumpmeistery ways.
