Yuna yawned, walking into the bright sunlight from the dimness of her hut.
"Wakka!" she yelled, waving at him.
He waved back. "He drown yet?"
"You mean you haven’t seen him?" Yuna asked, her good mood starting to fade.
"Where’d you leave him last?"
"Wakka, I’m serious. Where is he?" Yuna said, coming closer. "We had a fight last night and he didn’t come back to the hut. I thought you might have seen him in the village."
"Trust, me I haven’t seen anyone or anything pale, over six feet tall and blue. I’d remember."
"That means the only place he’d be is the jungle Wakka."
"Well, good luck finding him."
"Wakka!" Yuna scolded. "I loy huy husband!"
"He’ll show up," Wakka said. "I gotta go watch the team…y’know, after what happened last time I gotta baby-sit ‘em now."
Wakka left and Yuna sighed. Well, SHE wasn’t going after him. "Hi, Auron," she greeted. He’d been strangely absent from most everything and she hadn’t seen him since the first night she was here.
"Where is he?" he asked bluntly.
"I’m not sure."
"What’ fir fire?"
"You see smoke?"
He looked around, slightly satisfied that he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"What’d he break?"
"Well, he smashed my honeymoon plans," Yuna said. "But that’s it."
"Your problem," he said, walking off.
"What’d I do?" Yuna complained.
"What’s wrong now?" she heard Paine say behind her.
"You seen Seymour?" she asked turning to Paine, and Rikku who was bouncing right next to her.
"You gotta stop misplacing your husband," Paine said.
"I keep losing things under the bed," Rikku joked.
"He’s not in the village and he didn’t return to the hut last night," Yuna said.
"You were practically dragging him around on a leash, Yuna," Paine said. "How’d he get away?"
"We… had a fight."
"Who won?" Paine asked.
"Paine! That’s not the issue here?"
"You lost, huh?" Rikku asked.
"How should I know! He left!" Yuna said.
"Well, that’s good," Paine said.
"No, it’s not!" Yuna said.
"Yeah it is," Paine said.
"It means you won."
"Well, I need someone to drag the loser back here for me."
"You married him, you get him," Paine said. "I don’t like him. He whines."
"I’ll get him," Rikku chirped.
"Uh… maybe I should come along, on second thought," Paine said. "Yuna, why can’t you get him?"
"I need to ask Lulu what the hell I’m going to do when you bring him back. Thanks, guys."
"You’re gonna owe us," Paine said.
"I want details!" Rikku said, and ran off.
"If she ever manages any," Paine said, following Rikku.

There weren’t any chairs to throw. There weren’t any doors to slam.
There were only trees too small to climb.
Seymour settled for stomping a large fern into shreds. Staring at the forlorn destroyed plant, he felt worse. Was that really all he knew how to do? Smash things and break them? Hurt people?
Had he been an idiot enough to think that maybe he wouldn’t feel a need to do these things with Yuna around?
Yes, indeed, he’d been an idiot. Big time.
He cringed at the thought of who Yuna had reminded him of. He’d compared her to his father. Surely… surely she couldn’t have meant… no.
No, he’d encountered enough violence to know that it was never an accident against him.
Pity or not, she was certainly insisting upon giving him a gift—and he’d fought against it. He understood that he must have looked rather insolent then.
Still, he refused to be a pet. He wouldn’t take pity, and he wouldn’t be hit for doing something wrong—especially when all he did was say ‘no.’
But if that’s how he’d be treated, even by Yuna…maybe it was time to make amends for another mistake, and take the consequences in the heart.
"Run out of furniture?" he heard.
He turned around and faced Yuna’s two young friends.
"You want to drag me back like this, or would you rather beat me up and put me in cuffs first?" he asked.
"Look, I don’t care," Paine said. "I’m here because Yuna sent me."
"You’re here because Yuna sent me!" Rikku said.
"I do not wish to be with Yuna at the moment," he said.
"Well, he’s back to normal," Paine said.
"I did not realize you had a term for ‘normal’ about me," he said. "For future reference, though, does my wife wish me dead or alive?"
"Man, you got your ass kicked, didn’t you?" Paine asked.
"Here, why don’t you make this less painful by shouting ever single embarrassing thing about me that you know in the middle of the village and I’ll go find a nice high cliff to jump off of."
"Whoa, cool it!" Paine said. "She wants you alive and she’s gonna send someone else for you later if you don’t come back. Come on, Rikku, let’s go."
"See ya," Rikku said, and waved before leaving with Paine.

"Yuna, you’ll have to be more specific," Lulu said. "You can’t just come to me and ask ‘What am I going to do?’"
"I know," Yuna said, sulking on the bad.
"And you’re going to have to figure some of this out yourself."
"I know," Yuna said.
"Now, what’s—"
"Hey, Yuna," Paine said, barging into the hut. "What’d you do, rub his nose in something he did?"
"How pissed is he?" Yuna asked.
"He’s not pissed at all," Rikku said. "He just said he wants some time to think."
"He’s scared shitless of you," Paine said. "What’d you do? I wanna know how to do it."
"Paine!" Lulu scolded.
"This is why I need help," Yuna said. "I don’t know what to do anymore."
"Smack him if he doesn’t want to," Paine said.
"I tried that," Yuna said.
"Then I’m out of ideas."
"I really can’t help you with your love life, Yuna," Lulu said.
"I know."
"I think he’s confused."
"Why?" Yuna asked.
"Well, first off… have you told him you loved him?"
"Yeah… sort of… I kinda thought he already knew. I told him a while ago, remember?"
"Yuna, he was half-conscious," Paine said.
"Yeah, but---"
"And on painkillers the Al Behd had," Rikku said.
"And he was recovering from head trauma," Lulu said.
"Okay, I get the picture. I’ll tell him."
"Hey!" they heard someone yell outside. "He’s back!"
"Run!" someone else yelled.
"That’s probably mine," Yuna said. "Thanks guys. Maybe you should um…"
"Leave?" Paine asked.
"Yeah," Yuna said.
"See ya in five minutes," Paine said as they left.
"Paine!" Yuna said.
"Trust me."
"Trust her to what?" Seymour asked, coming in.
"Nothing; gullwing stuff," Yuna said. "Here, I’ll get something to clean you up."
"Yuna, we need to adress something important," he said as she ran into the bathroom.
"Sure thing," she said, returning with a wet washcloth. "This’ll only take a minute, Sit down."
"Yuna—" he started, but was interrupted as she yanked him down towards the bed.
"Here, sit still," she said, washing away the results of last night’s fight. "Now, what did you ant to talk about?" she asked, smiling at him.
"Yuna," he started taking her wrists in his hands, not for comfort but to hold her back in case she felt like getting violent again. "It was foolish for me to ask for your hand in marriage. I should have known better."
"Seymour?" she asked, but he pressed his finger to her lips—not releasing her wrist.
"We have different expectations for each other, Yuna. Because of me, you’re life was in danger many times. Neither of us is happy, Yuna, I can see that. Don’t torture yourself in trying to accomplish this. I believe it would be better for all if we separated: if you stayed here in Beseid, and I returned to Guadosalam, after a divorce." He released her hands and stup fup from the bed.
"You can’t mean that!" Yuna said, getting up as well.
"Why can’t I mean itot; ot; Seymour asked. She was not going to trap him in this. Either he was her husband or not. No alternatives. No violence, no submitting, no dominance. Either he was equal, or he was single.
"Seymour, pleasn’t n’t think like this," she said, coming closer. "I love you."
"That doesn’t cut it, Yuna," he said, not moving. "Do not mistake me. I love you as well. You are very beautiful, very enticing. I am sorry if you find me selfish, but that is the way I am, Yuna."
"Think this over, please. Here, I can give you a back massage, I’m really good—" She stopped, interrupted by him grabbing her hand as she reached for him.
He shoved her hand away and walked out of the hut.
"Wait!" she yelled, from the doorway.
"Do not touch me, Yuna," he said, calmly. "Do not touch me unless you mean it."
"What’s that mean?" she asked, following him.
"If you do not know what it means, do not try anything."
Yuna stopped following him and let him wander off; her friends were already coming to see what had happened this time.
"You suck this much with Tidus?" Paine asked.
"Shut up," Yuna spat, caustically, then sighed and went back to sulking. "What’d I do wrong?"
"You told him?" Rikku asked.
"Yeah, he said it wa eno enough."
"What’s that mean?" Paine asked.
"I don’t know! If I knew I’d have fixed things by now and we’d have our clothes of and he wouldn’t be asking for a fucking divorce!"
"Yuna…" Lulu said.
The other two were silent.
"Let’s get you out of earshot of everyone else, there’s something you have to know."
"He means it this time?" Rikku asked.
"What do you mean, this time?" Yuna asked.
"He wanted you to go home when he was sick," Paine said. "He thought he was just being a burden, but being bedridden will do that to you."
"Yuna, Anzi told me something while she was staying here," Lulu said. "In Guadosalam, you can’t get remarried. You’re only allowed one chance. You’re allowed to get divorced, but you can’try ary anyone else."
"Didn’t you wonder why Jyscal never got remarried or tried to have another kid?" Paine asked.
"I’m not going to let him in the first place," Yuna said. "But I still don’t know what to do."
"Well, don’t ask us, just’ down everything short of jumping on him," Paine said.
"I know."
"I think he’s scared," Rikku said.
"Of what?" Yuna asked.
"Well, you did kill him."
"Yeah that’s gotta be a mood-killer," Paine said.
"You really haven’t addressed that issue," Lulu said.
"I really didn’t think about that one."
"How could you forget? You killed him three times," Paine said.
"Five," Rikku said.
"Well, he can only clearly remember one," Lulu said.
"That doesn’t really make things better," Yuna said.
"Yuna?" Seymour asked, tentatively as he entered his hut. He’d managed to buy some food—real food, not fish—earlier that day, but no one wanted him around and they didn’t want him in their jungle. He still slept in here.
He saw something colorful flash in front of his eyes and then the next second his head hit the floor.
"Ow…?" he muttered, wondering why the floor had snuck up on him.
As his vision cleared, he realized it wasn’t the floor that had got him. And why there was someone’s tongue in his mouth suddenly.
He pushed Yuna off enough to clear his head… which was a bad idea because once her face wasn’t in his, he realized she was taking off her shirt.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Don’t be scared," Yuna said. "Just do whatever you want. It’s okay."
"Um…" he said, and then there was the constant onslaught of contradicting voices. ‘It’s a trick!’ ‘It’s just pity.’ ‘Go for it!’ ‘Go for what?’ ‘Well, do SOMETHING!’ "Um…" was all he managed. She hadn’t really answered his question of what she was doing. Was this because he wanted a divorce? Why would she care? It was his life he was ruining and she never had a problem with that, as long as no one else’s life was ruined. "Do you want something?"
"Don’t be shy," she said, pressing her bare chest to his. "Go on. Do whatever you want."
Never in his life had he heard that. And never had he expected it to seem like a threat. He prayed for something to save him.
"Hey, Yuna!" Paine yelled form the doorway.
"I think I want a shower," Seymour said, politely shoving Yuna off and running into the bathroom and slamming the door.
"Paine!" Yuna said. "I was finally gonna score!"
"No, he was gonna get a nosebleed and drown under you."
"Fine, I wasn’t. But I was making some progress."
"I think that shower’s getting m‘pro‘progress’ than you."
"Look why are you here?"
"Though thtat by he’d have run off again."
"Well he hasn’t and he won’t."
"Right," Paine said. "Look, sorry. I heard banging in here and I thought maybe things…"
"Went the same way they did last night?"
"What exactly happened last night?"
"I don’t wanna talk about it."
"Yuna?" Lulu asked, coming inside.
"Damnit, I can’t wait to get somewhere there are actual doors," Yuna said.
"Sorry, I sent Paine to check out the smashing noises and—where’s your shirt?"
"On the floor."
"Why?"
"Because Paine scared Seymour into the bathroom."
"What’d he break in the bathroom?"
"I jumped on him and I almost had him, but you had to come in her and investigate funny noises!" Yuna complained.
"You two weren’t doing anything when I got here," Paine said. "I thought he’d fainted or was close to it."
"Fainting was not what he was about to do!" Yuna said.
"Yeah, it was more along the lines of panicking," Paine said.
"Look people did that to me and Wakka for a week; I’m sorry I jus thought someone got hurt again," Lulu said.
"What exactly happened?" Paine asked.
"Can we just drop the issue of last night?" Yuna asked. "Is there a way to get it on with him without him panicking in the middle of it?"
"You could knock him unconscious," Paine said. "Can’t run away then."
"I don’t think he’d like that."
"How do you know?" Paine asked. "Well, he doesn’t seem to have anything weird about him."
"What are you talking about?" Yuna and Lulu asked.
"I followed him around to see if there were any hints of some sort of kink he liked. Nothing I could figure."
"You were spying on me?" Yuna asked.
"No, I was spying on him," Paine answered. "Well, until he ran off, then I lost track of him."
"I probably should have had Anzi talk to him before I left," Yuna said. "That might clear up a lot of this for him."
"Talk to him about what?" Lulu asked. "I don’t think she’d be much help on this subject."
"Well, she could have given him the talk before we left, but I didn’t think it was that important and that he knew what was going on by now."
"What talk?" Lulu asked.
"You mean THE talk?" Paine asked.
"That talk," Yuna said.
"He’s never…" Paine asked, making weird had gestures.
"Well, who did you thin would talk to him about that?" Yuna asked. "Other Maesters? His dad?"
"But Anzi—" Paine started.
"Let’s just say she has a different mechanic work on her engine."
"Huh?" Paine and Yuna asked.
"Why don’t you give him the talk?" Lulu asked.
"Because it’s the talk," Yuna said. "I’m trying not to traumatize him, remember?"
"Fine, I’ll talk to him," Lulu said. "But you’re getting it too."
"Why?" Yuna asked.
"When the hell did you know about sex, anyway?" Lulu asked.
"Rikku told me."
"You are so getting the talk," Paine said.
"But—" Yuna said.
"That’s like Anzi giving the talk," Lulu said, then yawned. "Sorry about barging in on you two. I gotta get to sleep." Lulu left and Paine followed.
Yuna stood there, wondering what exactly had happened and whose fault it was.
