Rikku sighs happily then giggles. "We always seem to stay in the water until just before we turn prune-y!"
She swam easily to shore beside him, marveling at how though he brought such things to mind Naruto always made her feel so much better about them than before. Stepping onto the shore she started to brush the water from her fur. "Shall we explore first? Maybe I'll look through my DressSpheres for something else to wear for a change."

Naruto stops onto shore and steps away from Rikku to shake his fur out. Turning back to her as he squeezes water out of his tail fur, he thinks and nods, "Yea, exploring sounds fun, never know what you will find! And I guess you better find something to walk around in, something that won't snag on anything!" he suggests and he heads into the tent to get into some real cloths, wondering if he should just throw on his usual outfit this time.

"Something that won't snag? Guess that leaves my scarf out." She giggled as she skipped behind him to the tent to snag her spheres before Naruto started to change. With a smile & a wink Rikku bounced off with the bag to sit on top of the hover-cycle while she went through her DressSpheres. She didn't want any of the dress-dress ones... and Trel had warned her to keep covered so she could not simply stay in her bikini or use her festival sphere. Besides, that was best for sleeping in. Trainer would be good... except it dragged all over & the Al Bhed did not feel like dealing with Ghiki right now. Nor did she feel like explaining to Naruto about the monkey just yet. Maybe if things got boring she would pull that one out. Rikku laughed at the thought As if things are ever boring with 'Ruto!
Finally she settled on one. Sure, it had a bit of a skirt, but it did not hinder movement & the material was quite resistant to catching or snagging. Unlike her scarf. Switching it out with her festival sphere she put the bag into the cycle's compartment then skipped around the tent to finish drying off. Feeling dry, she gathered her discarded clothes around her & activated the new sphere.
In blue & yellow ankle-boots, pink stockings halfway up her thighs, a blue & yellow half-skirt over her yellow bikini bottoms, long purple gloves, and a skin tight skin exposing midriff top Rikku leaned over the end of her very odd gun to watch eagerly for the ninja to emerge.

Naruto decides to go with his orange pants, to keep his weapons close of course, but he pulls out a black muscle shirt Moochi had gotten him. He slips it on over his head and quickly tucks it in loosely into his pants. Slipping his sandels on, he ties his headband on last and he debates on putting his armband on that held a lone kunai and decides to slip it on to his left arm anyway, the blade glinting on his fur as he slips it to his bicep.
Feeling ready, he steps out of the tent, moving his hand in front of his eyes to shield them from the sun for a moment. Dropping his hand, he turns his head to look over at Rikku and he gapes at her, rushing over so he can get a good look at her outfit. "Wow, which one is that? And what type of weapon is that?!" he asks, pointing the gun in her hand.

After blinking at not only the tight muscle shirt (happily) but the display of weaponry (surprise) Rikku grins with pleasure. "You like?" The Al Bhed spins around to give Naruto a good view from every angle then tilts her head in a cute way when they are once again face to face. "This is my GunMage Sphere. That makes this a magical gun."
Having held up the gun as she named it, Rikku lets it drop to her side held in one hand as she steps towards the shinobi reaching out with the other. Closing the distance between them her fingers dance up the muscle shirt. "I like this..."
Green eyes danced merrily watching his face for reactions. Then she lightly tapped the kunai on his arm with a fingernail. "And this... sometimes weapons need to be seen."
Rikku could not help herself & giggled. "Is there still one in your shorts?" Her green eyes danced with mischief, as if threatening she might check for herself.

When Rikku mentioned Gun Mage, that word seemed to strike a chord, but he doesn't change his expression as Rikku spins to let him see her entire outfit, which he had to admit was HOT! He blushes when she is suddenly very close and running her hand up his chest, and he gulps when she says she likes his shirt and the fact he is displaying his kunai on his arm.
He chuckles when she asks if he had anymore weapons in his pants, "That's for me to know and you to find out!" he says playfully, hopping out of her grasp. Then he puts his hands on his hips and looks around, "So, where should we go to start exploring? I've never been in this area before!" he says curiously, his ears flicking about.

She pouted a little -cutely- as Naruto hopped away. "Don't worry... I'll find out!" Rikku teased playfully. Then she got serious. "How 'bout the woods that way?" Rikku swung her gun to indicate trees to the left of the way they arrived.
"I scoped this area with AearHwesta's help. He found the spot, then I checked it out with the 'cycle. But I came from over the lake, & didn't check more of the woods than finding a good path through them."

Naruto thinks about that name as he goes back over to Rikku and looks over at the woods. They didn't seem too bad and if anything tried to attack them, he would take care of it. Then he snaps his fingers as he takes Rikku's free hand and leads her toward the woods, "Isn't that the flying Kitsu from before when we all went to the city? He's an Angelic, right? Moochi has 2 Angelics, you've met Helen already and Nunzio is huge, like a giant, rumbling pillow! And then there is Gypsy, she isn't an Angelic like some people think, but she is part Macaw. But she has a gorgeous singing voice and Keme loves her, they hang out alot just so they can sing together!"
He keeps on babbling about his odd pet family that belongs to Moochi as they get closer to the woods, "I will defienetely have to introduce you to the Talayes in my family there, there is Hania, you would really like him, he is orange like my suit! Then there is Reign, she is huge! And of course I told you about that basket that is me. And there are two more baskets, they seem odd, one of them keeps wanting to challenge me to a duel or game or something." he says, waving his free hand about as they walk together.

The Al Bhed could not help but laugh happily as she let Naruto drag her along. It was almost as much fun as dragging him around. His happy chatter made her happy too. "Yes! That's Aear!! He's pretty fun to be around, likes sailing."
"Gypsy? I think Chroma has mentioned her! Red with wings & likes to play? When you can get Chroma off talking about India she mentions Gypsy from time to time. Usually in an "I wanna play with Gypsy" way."
And I think I remember Mirage talking about a Reign talaye... blue, rabbit ears, very fast? 'Rage is the one that has a scarf like mine & is similar to me in ways. Sometimes she helps out in my workshop, when we both happen to be home so we talk a lot."
"Your pup in a basket wants to duel? That's pretty cool! One of our baskets just growls, while the other pup eats tons of hotdogs." She grinned impishly. "I'd be scared to put Zell & his hotdogs & you & your ramen to an eating contest someday. Maybe your Naruto tala to Zell, since they're same species it would be an even battle!"

Naruto nods as he looks up and around at the woods they enter, hearing birds and other wildlife in the forest, "Yea, that's Gypsy, she is fully grown now, and she likes to play, but mostly likes to sing! You should really meet Nunzio, he is so big!!" he says with enthusiasm.
He laughs when she says the Naruto Tala should get into an eatting contest with the Zell Talaye, "That I would like to see, but you would have a time getting the basket away from Reign! And yea, that is Reign! Taller then both of us really, rabbit ears, very fast, especially since she evolved! She doesn't fly much, but she doesn't need to! And you should see her mate, he is bigger then her!!" he says in wonder, remembering when he saw Tora at a distance, amazed that Reign had claimed such a large Talaye as her mate, but from what Moochi had told him, the two had known each other from when they were pups and grown closer and had chosen to become mates when they grew up.
"Moochi has a whole lot of other pets, loves them all!! Most of them are pretty nice and fun to be around, others, like this Nieken she got a few weeks back is really pompous, thinks he is a sun god or something!" Naruto says, waving his free hand about.

"Well evolved talaye are big, aren't they? 'Rage talks about an evolved her & Fidelity seem to like loads named Bullseye, and he sure sound huge to me."
"We've a pretty large family too... though except for the four of us audios, & the kitsus & talaye, all the others are the only ones of their types. In our family that is. Most of the others are pretty small... except for Timex. Our Ninau, not Trel's lost mate." Her eyes became a little misty at that thought, but she shook it away. "Timex is HUGE! He can easily carry two audios & a couple of the little ones easily. & he's a complete sweetie! Why, If I didn't have the hover-cycle I'd probably ride on him more."
She hopped a little, swinging his hand happily. "Relm gets along well with him. Aiden too."
"We all get along really well most of the time. The only one who seems to not have fun is Myranda -our GaiaCom, not your sister. Timex bought her for Trel before he died. Trel's mate, not the ninau."

Naruto listens as Rikku talks about her family and he can't help but feel his heart go out to Trel and her lost mate. He knew he would be heartbroken if he lost his mate, that is if he ever got a mate. Pushing that thought away, he looks up as he watchs some birds fly by, smiling, "You should really meet Dimitrus, he is huge! He is green, but not really unusually for his kind, plus he can fly! He can carried me, Morgana, Miranda and Keme once!"
Naruto sighs as he stops to look at some pretty flowers, the colors reminding of his bright colored brother, "I haven't seen Keme in a long time, it's like he is avoiding us or something! I know he is lonely, but I don't want him to be lonely anymore!" he says softly, reaching over and touching a petal, jumping back when a bee zips by and he laughs as it reminds him of Miranda.

"Faeths! He sounds as large as an airship!!" Rikku exclaims with a laugh. Then she mellows. "Well, if you do see him, I think Relm's got something for him. She was near bursting with happiness over something "for Keme" that she wouldn't let on about. I don't think she ever got it to him."
She too laughed at the bee. "How's your Miranda? Any luck with Kaleb?"

Naruto seems to sober up and looks a little sad when Rikku asks about Miranda, "I don't know, I asked her...well teased her about him the other day and she got really sad and said not to bring him up. I think she is getting over her crush for him and that is making her sad." he says softly, looking down at the ground, not really seeing anything at the moment.

"Only a crush?" Rikku's whole body slumped. "But I thought... Oh no.. what if I talked her into thinking she was in love?" The Al Bhed felt horrible. "She sure seemed to be in love... how could I have been wrong?"
"And now she's sad... Oh, Ruto! We've got to do something for her!" She bounced emphatically, tugging up & down on his arm.
