Warnings: Jecht's possible mouth? Though he'll be watching it what with the lady around an' all...



Honestly, he felt rather uncomfortable even just standing there. There was something about Macalania that had always made him feel somewhat uneasy. As he stood there, it was hard not to trudge up memories of the last time he'd been there -- well, been here. It was the place where everything had really begun to sink in. That maybe there wasn't... anyway back to Zanarkand.

Damn. How naive he'd been back then. It was enough to make a man sick to his stomach, just thinking about it. Clearing his throat, he took another step forward, forcing whatever emotions that were trying to surface back down. There was no time for any of that garbage right now. He needed to focus on the road ahead.

"Hard to believe... they made his place just from our memories, huh?"

"Wish... I coulda seen it, Yuna." It seemed that, for the words that Auron couldn't speak, Jecht was able to provide a voice. His tone was genuine, the slightest of smiles curling up into the corners of his lips as he glanced back at the man that had been in brother in arms, figuring that he must feel the same way. During Braska's pilgrimage, hadn't they all spoken their piece in wanting to someday see Spira, a world free of Sin? Hadn't some of Braska's final words been 'there's a chance it won't come back this time?'

And so, now, the Blitz King found the courage to smile, taking pride in the successes of their children. Where they had come short of a solution, the others, including Auron, had found a way.

There was always another way, he'd believed that from the start.

"Hey Auron," he focused his gaze ahead again, "you told Brask' we were comin' here didn't you? Can't believe the guy didn't wait for us, it ain't like him...," he muttered under his breath, hoping Yuna wouldn't hear.

Along the path, suddenly, the brunette stopped short, focusing on a particular gathering of trees. A slight incline in the path that probably wouldn't have looked out of place to anyone, except...

"Wait a sec. Isn't this...?"
