"It's you?" Hopping off the bike, Rikku went to get their gear off the back. "Wow. That's more than 'Deli & 'Rage dressing a bit like Yunie & I. Even though Fidelity does have two different colored eyes like Yunie, she's not Yunie, you know."
Her face crinkles oddly as she thinks about it. "That's gotta be neat & strange all at once. I know Relm eyes the basket our Seifer tala is in oddly ever she met Seifer & Sefirex." The thief bit her lip, all at once wondering if she should have said something. "I don't see anything shy about that pup! He growls at everyone & Everything! & Zell eats all our hotdogs! I never knew a pup could eat so much!"
She turned to grin impishly at Naruto. "So do you have'ta share your ramen with tala-you?"

Naruto finally finishes stretching and he looks over to Rikku, a little confused over why Relm would be wary of a Tala pup, especially one in a basket, things were incredibly tiny, they could fit in your hand! But when she mentions sharing ramen with his Talaye self, he nods and puts his hands on his hips, "Yea, he is so greedy and he can be loud as me when he when he wants to! And there is actually an Iruka-sensei Talaye pup! I was really excited about that! he says, making his way over to the lake and looks over it, smiling a small smile. I'm really glad we came here..." he whispers, his tail swishing about.

She ponders over the Iruka-sensai tala pup importance for a moment, before remembering that Naruto had spoken of his ninja teacher before. Rikku stops getting the gear to turn and lean against the hovercycle, softly smiling as she watched Naruto. With only the sound of nature about them she barely catches the whisper & it makes her smile. She whispers back softly. "Me too..."
She starts setting their gear on the ground, frowning at the pile. It ruined the look of the place. Curious, she reached in her thief's pouch & pulled out Relm's 'tent' It did not look like much. Walking to the front of the cycle she set it down on a flat spot. "Um... I invoke you? Tent?"
The small package unfolded into furls of fabric. As if by magic the tent popped up, resplendent in Rikku's colors -specifically her scarf for it faded dark to light from top to bottom. The doorway was embroidered in Al Bhed script on the edges & little symbols that reminded Rikku of Home dotted the canvas. Bows like the sleeves of her thiefs garb held the tent together.
"Booyah..." she breathed in wonder.

Naruto continued to stare out over the lake, a feeling of peace washing over him. He soon snaps out of it, knowing he should help Rikku unload her hover cycle and get everything set up. He turns to get ready, but pauses when he watchs her put something on the ground and then say something. He jumps back when thing suddenly seems to unfurl and get bigger and then soon there is a tent standing there in the clearing. "Wow, that was so cool!!" he says, rushing over to get a good look at it.

"Yeah..." The Al Bhed is still quite in shock about the whole thing herself. "Relm gave it to me in case of rain... & I thought we could put our stuff inside so the view didn't look cluttered but..."
Suddenly she squeels & launches herself at the shinobi. "Booyah! That was so great!! Now why didn't Relm tell me about those things before?"

Naruto wraps his arms around Rikku and spins her a few times, having it missed it when she first arrived to pick him up. He nods, looking to the tent, "Yea, it's a pretty good idea if it does rain! But it doesn't look like it will tonight, so we can make a fire and I can show you how to make s'mores!" he says happily.

"Yeah! Let's get the gear inside while we find the s'more fixings!" Dragging him to the pile she had made Rikku wasted no time getting the excess food stuffs & her bag of spheres into the tent. She left out their sleeping bags on purpose. Stars would be outside!

Naruto nods and smiles, grabbing his bag and anything else that needs to be carried and takes it into the tent, humming his song softly as he walks behind the bouncy blond female.

Rikku closed her eyes partway, straining to hear Naruto hum. Yunie had said once how Tidus would hum. Rikku liked her best friend's humming: showed that he was happy. She wondered why she had not felt compelled to kiss Naruto as she often was. Not that she did not feel a jolt go through her each time they touched, but this just being together was nice too. Very nice. Maybe that was what Trelweny had meant? Maybe a little, but Trel had definitely mentioned cuddling. It sounded nice. Rikku could hardly wait to try it.
But first, S'mores. Rikku turned happily away from the tent with a cord of wood from the pile inside. "Okay, 'Ruto! I'll get a fire started while you tell me how to make s'mores!"

Naruto nods happily once he gets everything settled into the tent, "Sure thing, it's really easy! We just need some long, thin sticks to put the marshmellows on so we can hold them over the fire!" He digs into his pack and brings out the ingredients, his tail wagging about in thought over the sweet treats and there was no one there to tell them how many they could make and eat!

Busy setting wood & kindling into the fire pit the thief knew Naruto was getting things out of his pack but did not see what. Carefully she reached in what looked like a lighter for a Bunsen burner & clicked sparks into the kindling. She waited with baited breath for the flames to spread to the longer burning wood before commenting on what she had heard.
"Marshmallow sticks?" Rikku scrunches up her face remembering something. "I think Trel wrapped something she called marshmallow sticks up with the sandwich irons." Bouncing over to the tent the Al Bhed unrolled what looked to be an extra blanket tied into a tight bundle with an elastic tie-down. Out flopped two folding sandwich irons & two metal sticks with hard plastic handles on one end & two sharp prongs on the other. Grasping a pronged end safely, Rikku pulled as she had been shown to extend the reach nearly double. Not quite certain she extends her hand, offering them to the shinobi. "Will these do?"

Naruto steps out of the tent, packages in hand as well as a plate to set everything on and he looks to what Rikku had held out. A huge smile appears on his face and he nods, "Yea, those are perfect!! We can stick the marshmellows on those and hold them over the fire!" he says in excitement and he makes his way towards the fire. He sets everything a few feet away from the fire and he sits on a log close by the blaze and he starts to get everything out and setting it up for them.

Not sure what to do Rikku sits beside the ninja. She puts her elbows on her knees, rests her head on her hands, & watches him curiously as he sets up. After a few seconds, the sitting still has proven near impossible & she is rocking a bit back & forth as she raises first toes then rolls to raise her heels back & forth in turn.

Naruto picks up two big marshmellow from the plate and grabs one of the metal sticks and turns to Rikku, "Alright, it's pretty simple! All we are going to do is stick the marshmellows on the sharp ends and hold them out to the fire long enough where they will get hot and look a little brown!" he explains, sticking his marshmellow on the pronged end and holding it out over the fire.

Following Naruto's lead she stuck a marshmallow on the end of her stick & gave it a funny look. With a shrug Rikku sticks it into the fire. A moment later she yelps as it goes up in flames. "Aeeeiii!"
