It’s only when Tidus startles like the rest of the townsfolk and readies himself that Rikku realizes her folly. She’d been so happy to see him that the thought hadn’t occurred it might be his doppelganger. His poor moogle had not even caught up yet when she’d jumped down so she had no proof he was a newly arrived hero – she’d simply assumed, one hundred percent, it had to be him.

Eh heh heh. Whoopsie! That could have been super awkward.

The smile his appearance brought stays on her lips, she has the urge to smack him to make sure he's really there, which causes a light giggle before she chides playfully, "Course I am. You sure took your time getting here, slowpoke.”
