Naruto feels his body jerk up and down a little when Rikku tugs on his arm, but he looks incredibly unsure, "I wanna help her too, but I'm not sure how! She seemed to have her heart set him, or at least I thought she did, but now...." he trails off, looking down. "I just don't want her watch her get her hopes set up high again for someone just to watch them come crashing down..."

Rikku came crashing back down, still feeling responsible for convincing her friend that she was in love & also not doing as much as she possibly could to get them together like she said she would. That... and what Naruto said reminded her about her own sister. "I don't want to see that either... But at lest she had met Kaleb first... Relm likes to go after those she sees in the registry without knowing thing about them. Then hides in her studio when it doesn't go the way she wants."
Green eyes pop open wide as she realizes what she just said. "Oh Fayths! Is that what happened? I should keep my mouth shut."
Then, "We should hang with Mir more often. Get her mind off being sad at the very least. It'll all work out... it has too!"

Naruto nods as he looks up into the canopy of the forest, "Yea, I think thats all we can do for her. And I guess if Relm needs Keme, she knows where to find him." he says quietly. He blinks as large shadow passes over the canopy and he can't help but wonder what it was and why it looked so familiar to him.

She nodded almost absently. "That's right. Relm knows things. And it's Mir that needs us."
As something altered the sun coming through the canopy Rikku followed the ninja's gaze upward. "Hmm? What's that?" Throwing her gun over her back the Al Bhed eyed the nearest tree with a low enough branch & let go of Naruto's hand. "Let's see." Pulling herself up, Rikku started to climb.

Naruto nods and decides to hop into another tree to get to the canopy quickly. If it was something dangerous, he didn't want it attacking Rikku. Peeking his head of the leaves, he looks around and is quite surprised to see none other then Nunzio flying about and it didn't look like the Angelic was looking for anyone in particular. Waving his arms about and almost losing his balance on the branch he is standing on, he yells for him, "NUNZIO!!!! OVER HERE!!!"
The huge Angelic comes to a stop and turns to see a familiar mop of blond hair in the canopy waving at him. Turning, he flaps his wings and soars over, stopping to hover over him and he starts to make a rumbly purr, "Naruto, I didn't know this is where you came to camp." he says in his ever present deep voice.

"So that's Nunzio, huh?" Rikku watched the striped brown angelic kitsu with mild curiosity. Unlike Helen, there was a truth to him. He really had not been spying on them & that pleased her. She did not like feeling spied upon or otherwise not trusted.
Then she turned to Naruto sheepishly. "Guess I should have told you where I picked, so you could have told your family too, eh 'Ruto."
Then she flashed a smile of greeting at the kitsu. It certainly could have been worse.

Naruto drops down to sit on the branch, watching as the Angelic flies down and lands on a branch big enough to hold his weight, "Yep, this is Nunzio, second Angelic in my family! Hope I didn't stop you from doing anything important!"
Nunzio settles himself down on a branch, feeling it creak under his weight, but he pays it no mind. He shakes his head at Naruto, to say he wasn't disturbed, and then he turns and looks at Rikku, a friendly smile appearing on his muzzle and a deep purr emits, "You must Rikku. Naruto has told us much about you." he says, his green eyes looking between the two and lighting up with some type of knowledge that everyone knows, except the two blonds.

Despite that annoyingly knowing look everyone seemed to get around them anymore, Rikku found she liked Nunzio right off the bat. But then, she liked AearHwesta when he was not disturbing interesting moments so perhaps she was not the best judge. She settled herself into a comfortable branch & swung her legs happily. "All good I hope? 'Ruto was just telling me how I should meet you."

Nunzio lets out a rumbling purr of a sound as he smiles, folding his black wings over his back as he moves to lay his body across the branch, "I am glad to hear that. Many of us in the family have wished to meet you as well. Have you introduced her to Morgana yet Naruto?" he looks to the shinobi and isn't surprised when Naruto flings himself on the Angelics back and Nunzio just purrs deeply.
Naruto rubs at the brownish fur with the stripes, he always found it so soft. He flicks at the orangish halo as he chuckles, "Not yet, maybe when we get back to the shop and my sister is around!" he says, rubbing his hand against a black wing.

"Really?" Rikku hugged herself happily that they would want to meet her, smile nearly busting on her face.
"Is she better now? I know you said Morgana was sick before & I couldn't meet her yet." Her green eyes softened with compassion. Colds were no fun, but it seemed like Naruto's sister had hers forever now.

Naruto shakes his head as he looks over Nunzio's wing to look at Rikku, "No, she's alot better, just hard to catch her sometimes. She has a tendency to just up and go off on her own when the feeling hits her." he says shrugging, "But I am sure she will be at the shop by the time we get back!"
Nunzio lays his head on his paws, a soft smile on his face as he watchs the two interact, 'What everyone says is true, the two are in love. What I do not understand is how they cannot see it. Is love truly blind...or is it just these two?' the Angelic thinks to himself.

Happy at that Rikku swings a leg over the wider part of the branch, wrapping her legs around it & adjusting her weapon so she can lean back on the branch with her arms stretched over her head. "That's good!" Her eyes sought Naruto's & she smiled gently as she found them. "Colds are no fun, & not even Fred & George have found a magical cure for them & I know not even Curaga works on them."
"Speaking of the shop... that's a day or so away, isn't it? Before we go back?" They had not really said how long their weekend would be, though Rikku had permission to stay away until sometime on Monday before Trel would send a search party out for her.

Naruto looks like he is thinking as he rubs his chin, "Well, I guess we could leave early tomorrow or day after if you like, that way no one will get worried. Would let Moochi know for us Nunzio?" he asks the large Angelic, still snuggled in his dark fur.
Nunzio nods his head, still purring happily, "I will let them all know..." he says softly.

"Booyah!" Rikku exclaims happily, green eyes dancing with joy. She wiggles a bit where she is stretched across the branch & it is quite clear that were she on the ground & not needing her arms & legs to hold her to the branch she would be hopping & clapping. "And you can tell them where we are, if they won't come out after us. I never intended to give anyone a cause for worry. All of my family knows where we are... & I'm really sorry I didn't think to share with 'Ruto's family."
"Though I suppose Moochi could have asked Trel?" She was trying to vindicate her forgetfulness, for the Al Bhed did not like to miss things.

Naruto chuckles and hops off Nunzio, going over to sit in a branch.
Nunzio sits up and unfolds his large wings, nodding to the both of them, "I will leave you two alone now, I was only in the area to stretch my wings. And I will let everyone know what is going on. Goodbye for now." he rumbles and with a flap of his black wings, he takes off intot he sky.
Naruto waves to the Kitsu as he leaves, "Bye Nunzio, see you at home!" he yells after him. Finally settling down, he shifts to lean against the trunk of the tree, looking over to Rikku with a smile, "I told you he was a big Angelic!" Naruto says, smiling a toothy grin.
