One thing's for sure - Progress on that device was going smoothly! At this rate they'd be able to perform a "maiden voyage" of sorts! But... Ayami and the other two had also been hard at work for two weeks now. Almost non-stop in the Al bhed's case. She was determined to finish the project, even at the cost of her own health it seemed... Which is exactly why Gemini suggested she take a break for a day. The mechanic wanted to object honestly, but she did notice her fatigue catching up slowly but surely. Well, a SMALL break wouldn't hurt... She strolled along the streets of Radiant Garden, deciding to check out this "Restoration Committee HQ" Zeni showed her back when she first arrived. If these people were really like the android had said... They'd be some wild adventurers just like Ayami!"Sheesh. What a mess! Guess I'd better find something else to do!"... Naturally, checking out that place didn't go so well, she just kept getting yelled at by some guy named "Leon". Well, no big deal! There were a lot of other places to see. After all, this world WAS named Radiant Garden. But so far, she had yet to actually spend time anywhere near the gardens! Well, now was as good a time as any to change that! She hurried off towards one of the many gardened greenery areas this place was home to, taking a stroll through the gardens. It was...A bit slow for her tastes, but she was honestly too tired to really object. ... Object very loudly, I mean. She still grumbled and moaned about it."Maaaaaannn, there's nothin' to DO! These flowers aren't even fully grown yet! HOW'S A GIRL SUPPOSED T'GET SOME ADVENTURE LIKE THIS?! TYSH VMUFANC!"She playfully falls over onto the soft grass, flailing her arms and legs while staring up at the idle clouds in the sky. Anyone watching would no doubt be amused by her whining. It seems she really had the best time gushing over machines or adventure...Oh well, she found some measure of amusement in just lying there in the grass as she eventually relaxed and cushioned her head by placing her arms behind it. Her thoughts drifted to her friends, Zeni and Yuna as she closed her eyes, finally doing something other than complaining. Maybe she'd have to ask them to hang out soon...--- Zeni Yuna

Yuna liked coming to these Gardens. Their was something about them that helped her feel at peace, even on this forign world. If their was one place in Radiant Garden that brought her a calm close to the way Besaid had it was this garden. It wasn't huge or widespread but... Their was just a certain calmness to the whole thing. Between helping yo keep the Heartless under control, all the randomness she always got into with her cousian and of course the stress of being stranded on a world not your own... It was just nice to have a place she could just get away from it all and relax and think. A place she could simply breathe.
....or that was the case on most days. Today that was shattered pretty well by the familar, hyperactive tone of a familar voice. No not her cousin but another energetic Al Bhed she had met recently, Ayami. Going by their precious she seemed to have inherited the techical genius the Al Bhed were known for. She was even working on a way back to their world! Messing with Machina or other technology had never been Yuna's speculity. A lot of that was due to how she was raised, but even after learning it wasn't the evil thing she had been taught she had never been able to get into it's inner workings like that side of her family could. She tried once with Rikku and Brothet but... It didn't turn out well. If the one she and her friends had helped test was any indication they were difficult to get operating just right. It impressed her to no end that people like Ayami were able to do just that.
A gentle breeze ran through her hair as she approched the young tech wizard., Leaning over her form layed on the ground.
"Fryd tet drao tu du oui?"
She paused for a moment and tapped her chin in thought.
"That's the way to say it right? I've learned a lot from Rikku and Brother, but I've still got a long way to go"
During her travels as part of the Gullwings she had learned a loy more of the Al Bhed language. Both naturally from her cousins and from books they found during their journey. She was rather proud of her growth, but she knew their were still gaps here and there. Still... She did wonder why Ayami had come here. She was far from an unwelcome site of course but she did find herself curious.... She hadn't seen her here befotr today.
"So What brings you here Ayami? You don't seem very fond of the flora after all"
Her tone was teasing, playful towards the young enigneer. She was curious but Ayami was far from a bother no matter her answer, it was always nice to be around friends.

Well, the trip to the Restoration Committee's HQ didn't go as well as the Android expected. Most of the members weren't there today except for Leon, and Cid. Cid was very insistent about them sitting down and drinking their tea. Probably because they kept getting into things they shouldn't have. Mostly at Ayami's direction, but in any case! They were off at one of the gardens now, and it seemed like the Mechanic was getting a little bored of how peaceful things were here. The Android could sort of understand it... Maybe. It seemed like Ayami was more the type to get around adventure, but the Heartless outside of the security system made that a risky prospect, and it made this place more or less entirely safe too.
So there wasn't really a whole lot to do around here... But they could still make the best of it! " At least we got to enjoy some tea! I can't really say I've ever heard of the brand that Cid mentioned, though..." , she mentioned, musing on that for a moment. In reality it wasn't a brand of tea, but him very bluntly saying to sit down and behave...
The Android shrugs lightly, and sits down next to Ayami. Eventually, a third person enters the scene, speaking in a strange language that Zeni still couldn't understand... But it sounded an awful lot like the one her friend keep speaking in. The Android brings a single index finger to her chin as she thinks over the odd sounding words in her head. " So strange... I've never heard any of these words before. What do they mean?" , Zeni asks, directing her question at both Ayami and Yuna.
Though the conversation moves along pretty well despite that, as Yuna starts speaking in a way that the Android can more readily understand." Well, we stopped by at the Restoration Committee. But only Leon and Cid were there. We got to drink some... I think it was gott-something Tea!" , the Android comments with a bright grin on her face. Clearly not understanding the implications. " But Ayami wants to go adventuring. So we're trying to think of where to go next." ______ Yuna Ayami

Ayami just silently allowed the cool air blowing through the gardens to run across her, keeping her cooled off as the gently warm sun beat down on them. It was... Far less harsh than the Sun that sat above Home. Where that one brought only a need for hydration, and constant lethargy. The sun that hung over the skies of Radiant Garden was...Softer, put simply. It made relaxing even easier than it was back home.
She would give a nod to Zeni as she focused on trying to relax despite her objections to the situation they were in."Oh no, y'see, it wasn't the brand, it was... An exclamation of the quality of the tea. And it WAS some !$%* tea!"She spoke rather bluntly, just blurting out the exact... Colorful word choice Cid had used to the pair. Though as she focused on relaxing next to her android friend, the sun's light was blotted out as a voice spoke up in her native tongue. Her eyes closed, she responded calmly, not really stopping to think of who the voice was coming from."Eehhhh... Dryd Leon kio kud fyo duu yhkno ypuid sa paehk drana. E fyc uhmo tnehgehk luvvaa, craacr!"She paused for a moment, adding an addendum in her language:"Hud so vyimd ed dinhat uid du pa rec."She cleared her throat awkwardly, continuing to answer the source of that voice with a strange calm..."Huh? Well... Yeah it sounds fine. Just gotta work on the pronunciation a little. Rikku knows it pretty well, but Brother's got a bit of a strong accent so I wouldn't take up too many of his habits..."... It took her a full minute of relaxing to finally think about just who it was that was speaking to her. Her eyes jolted open as she saw the face of her idol sitting right above her and - With a moment of babbling surprise from the mechanic, she sat up in an instant! If Yuna didn't move out of the way, Ayami would accidentally connect her forehead to Yuna's own, likely leading to some pain for the pair. Ayami would rub the back of her head, seeming apologetic about her "listless" reaction to what Yuna was saying to her. Though... That subsided rather quickly as she realized the gravity of the situation."THIS-... Yuna of all people has come to talk to ME?! Y-You have no idea how big of an honor this is!!! I never thought the hero of Spira would come to me for a conversation!!! My mom said it would never happen well HA I proved her wrong! MUUG RUF VYN E'JA LUSA, SY!!!"She shook her head in delight, her hands brought up to her face in pure excitement. Zeni... Probably had no idea why Yuna speaking to them was so important, but to Ayami it was like some kind of dream come true! Even if Ayami had already met with Yuna earlier in Radiant Garden, to her it was still amazing that the person she looked up to the most could find the time to speak to her. She was almost wordless, trying to think of something to say. "What could I possibly say that would befit someone like Yuna?!" was her thought process.After several minutes of silent fangirling from the Spiran Mechanic, she finally calmed herself enough to continue speaking."Well... We're here cause there's NOTHIN' TO DO! Flowers are nice and all but they can't beat heading into the unknown or opening up a machine. I mean these things don't even have an engine! How am I 'sposed to find it exciting?!"She looked over to Zeni, realizing that Al bhed language was rare even back home, so here... It was probably a complete unknown. She brought a hand up to her head, tapping the side of her face in thought."Hmmm... Yeah I kinda forgot not everyone knows the language... It's Al bhed tongue! We pretty exclusively spoke it at Home, I guess I can teach you sometime Zeni!"Putting that aside, she couldn't help but grin and chuckle at how innocently Zeni muttered the "brand" of tea they had drank. But she would give a nod as Zeni confirmed they were trying to find something to do."I don't...Suppose YOU would wanna hang out with us Yuna?!"Her eyes grew somewhat wider as they gained a starry sparkle to them, after all, if Yuna came all this way just to see her, maybe she wanted to do something fun?! The idea of hanging out with her hero... It almost made her entire body vibrate with excitement over the idea. Her mind was wandering over a thousand different thoughts. "Maybe this is my chance to be best friends with the hero of spira!!!"--- Yuna Zeni

She coudn't help but giggle at the young mechanic's response. Leon and Cid huh? It made sense with the pair helping the commitie like she and her friends did. She knew from experince how grumpy Leon could be, as well as how angry Cid could get when when he kr his machines were messed with. Bht both meant well though, they were dedicated to protecting Radiant Gardens. They were rough, but nice peolr-she knew that. It was funny to her though, she could just imagone Leon and Cid getting on to them now.... She could also remeber all the times they got mad with her and Rikku. Zeni and Ayami's antics sparked memories of that, it made her smile.
"Oh? Sounds like you've had a fun morning"
Zeni seemed like the morr innocent of the pair. It reminded her of her pilgermage. Certain individuals would probaly argue it still did even now. But she had grown! A lot. It wasn't her fault she didn't know about... Everything like Rikku, Paine and the others did. Ayami likely knew a lot she didn't to. But it was how she was raised! During her journey she had seen a lot though, grown a lot. But she knew she still had a lot more to learn as well.
"Don't get to mad, They really do mean well, their just... More passionate in some ways, thats all"
Ayami was right about her cousians, a fact that only brightened her smile. She seemed to know their antics pretty well. Which made sense, Ayani was an Al Bhed, they had very likely met while living in Home. She didn't think it right to ask though for... Obvious reasons. Home's fate was a hard one for any Al Bhed, she knew that without doubt.
"Yeah your probaly right... Brother can be a real handful"
Ayami seemed to finally relize she wasn't talking to a random stranger. What came after would likely be a laugh to any onlookers as Yuna failed to move out of the way of Ayami getting, and their heads connecting with each other and sending Yuna falling back on her butt. Of course Ayami was quick to be apolegetic about it, but Yuna simply waved it off with her spare hand as she rubbed the point of impact.
"Don't worry! We all make mistakes, your just excited"
Though it still surprised her how people got around her. To them she was a hero, an idol, a role model. But to her she was just... Yuna. She had always just done whay she felt was right-and she had never done it alone. If she was being honest she felt her friends were far more deserving of the praise but it was rare they ever got it. She understood why she supposed... But it didn't mean she liked it. Without them she would never have made it as far as she did.
"Oh my well... Yes of course, you showed her..? Ummm I just figured I'd check on you"
It wasn't that she was uncomfertable of course. She simply didn't think she would ever get used to praise like this. Shyly she would rub the back of her head-this time having nothing to do with the previous impact of course. Though curiosify gripped her at the words ayami's friend said.
"An adventure you say? Theirs always the area outside town but... Thats dangerous if your not well equiped"
She tapped her chin in thought. She didn't know if Ayami and Zeni were but it was best to be safe. The Heartless even gave her troubles during her patrols after all. In response to Ayami's assesment of the flowers Yuna would lean down on her knees and pick one with her hand. She looked it over with a bright smile on her face. They really were beutiful.
"Well they don't have an engine no, but flowers are special in their own way. They can come in any color, and serve so many functions. Some flowers can survive in even the harshest of conditions"
She would then pick a second one and, if not stopped by the pair proceed to weave them into both girl's hair.
"I like to think they represent people, in any form quite well"
The interactions between the two were adorable to her. It brought up more memories... Of her and her beloved. Oh.. but she shoudn't jump to conclusions. Still the connection they had... It was a beutiful sight to see. She gave a nod in response, followed by a bright grin. To Ayami's question she gave a nod. Her patrol was done, Rikku and Paine had work they were doing right now... So why not? It could be fun!
"Of course Ayami, I'd be happy to spend the day with you two!"
Ayami's energy was as infectious as a certain cousian of hers, and much like that cousian had the effect of bringing out Yuna's own energy... Causing Ayami to see a considerbly more spunky Yuna than she was probaly used to!

Ayami elaborated on what it was that Cid meant earlier, and how he wasn't referring to the brand, but was instead saying something a bit... More colorful than that. " Oooooh." , the Android nods, seeming to understand now. Or perhaps, the way she reacted more implied that she didn't really get it after all... Well, at least she was trying to keep pace with the conversation! After that, Yuna and Ayami started to exchange words in that strange tongue that the Android still couldn't decipher. Every so often she'd just mimic one of the words she heard, mumbling it to herself.Apparently this was a normal language in the world they came from, so that filled in the gaps of knowledge there, though it didn't help her understand what was being said either. It wasn't too long after that when Ayami finally reacted to Yuna's presence in a very surprised manner, apparently she was some sort of Hero? Well, that made her famous then! " Oh, I get to meet a real Hero! I wasn't expecting that!" , the Android then comments, smiling as she looks over Yuna. Almost like she was trying to find out the secret of her power, or something like that. As a consequence, she hadn't really been paying attention to the conversation now going on, except for when Ayami mentioned that the language they were using was Al Bhed." Al Bhed..." , she said the words, as if trying them out for the first time. At least the pronunciation was on point! Of course, while she was musing on that, Yuna took the opportunity to weave one of the flowers into the Android's hair, which prompted her to try and get a better look at the flower, but then she simply smiles about it. " Thanks!" She'd express her gratitude, seeming to like the addition to her appearance. There was almost a childlike innocence to the girl -- which was perhaps a little odd, considering her apparent physical age... But at least she didn't seem like she was going to cause any problems for anyone. " This will be fun! I get to spend time with Ayami, a Hero, and learn about a new language!" It seems like Zeni was on board with the idea!------- Ayami Yuna

Ayami's spirits were high now, and nothing could really break that at the moment. Even her accidental impact with Yuna barely affected her despite it happening just moments ago. She calmly got up off of the ground, raising her arms overhead and stretching calmly as the very same warm sun that almost put her to sleep now made her feel energized instead. She grinned in amusement as Yuna mentioned the..."Fun" morning.
"I wouldn't call it fun so much as it was... Productive...?"
Though her disposition towards Cid and Leon did change rather quickly once she witnessed Yuna defending them. If Yuna of all people said they were alright then... Well, Ayami had no reason to really deny that. She would scratch her head, nodding calmly.
"Passionate... Well, yeah I guess I understand stuff like that. I'm all about passion!!!"
The mechanic gave the other two a heroic pose just to display that fact. ... Well, heroic to her, anyway. To onlookers it probably looked much sillier. Though ultimately it made Ayami very happy that Yuna came to check up on her. They were fellow spirans, so it did make some level of sense to keep a sort of "fellowship from the same world" kind of bond. Though naturally to Ayami it was far more impressive and exciting than that. She still couldn't entirely wrap the concept around her head - Here was the very figure-head of the group that had saved their entire world without much outside help several times over no less; speaking to her, just a member of a group of gearheads, and not even a prominent member at that.
To her Yuna and the other heroes were people who DESERVED to be treated as "high class", even if she usually didn't care much for "authority" or "class". This was her one exception, perhaps due in part to her naivety she didn't see how much of a contradiction that was.
All of that aside however, she would give Zeni an excited nod, smiling brightly.
"Not just ANY hero. This is THE hero. She singlehandedly saved our world twice! Well... She had a LITTLE help. ... But not very much! She's always like "BOOM" and "GO AWAY GHOST!" and then she just...Wins!"
Her... Very amusing story on Yuna's exploits aside, she wouldn't stop Yuna from weaving the flower into her hair, instead looking at Yuna with curiosity as the summoner explained the importance of flowers. It amazed her when she realized how she had overlooked flowers for not fitting into her interests... But, what Yuna said did make sense.
"Well... Yeah, I guess you're right. They're not bad. And they look kinda nice! I wonder what flower would represent each of us...?"
She thought it over in silence for a moment, considering the possibilities, although... Given her limited knowledge of flowers, she honestly drew blanks in her attempt.
"What do you think, Yuna?"
She was definitely curious to hear Yuna's input in that question. Both due to looking up to her, and being interested in what her insight regarding flowers could bring. She would look over to Zeni, grinning and giving the android a pat on the shoulder.
"That flower really suits you y'know!"
With all that settled, and Yuna agreeing to go along with them, Ayami was getting fired up! She'd give Zeni a nod of agreement. Pumping her fist in excitement. "We're gonna do it all! And everyone else will be SOOO jealous! Like: "What, you two get to hang out with the hero?!" and I'll be like: "YEP. We're totally BFFs now!" Heheeeee~ AWESOME!!! But... Where should we go first...?"
The mechanic looked around the area as she quizzed herself, searching for an answer... And it seemed the easiest answer was the one right in front of her. She looked out over the rest of the garden, noting just how big it was! She would give a firm nod, looking to Zeni, and then to Yuna.
"We're gonna see what else this garden has to offer! C'mon let's goooo!!"

Ayami was just a bundle of energy wasn't she? It was nice to see. Her and her friend seemed like kind people. Though Ayami really gave her far to much credit. It wasn't just a little help, her friends had been the reason she was able to defeat Sin. The reason she was able to stop Shuyin and Vegnagun. But... She was so excited, she just coudnt ruin her moment by correcting her. Even if her friend was now going right along with it. Calling her a hero.... She would probaly never get used to.
"Now ummm... I don't know about all that... The real heroes..."
Unfournatly her rather timid words would be swept up in the praise of the pair-she would give up on resisting after that with a light chuckle and sweatdrop. They were both such sweet children, she coudnt help but smile at their antics anyway. It was soothing in its own way to see people like them out and about in the world. Full of Hope and happiness.
Your both very welcome"
She was glad Ayami heard her out about Leon and crew. They had reason to be the way they were after all. They already lost their home once, she was sure they had no plans to risk it or it's people again. She coudnt help but let out a giggle at the way Ayami reacted though. She was starting to think hyperactivity really was just a trait of the Al Bhed in general, and not just her family members in it! They gave her a good feeling... Their hearts were filled with kindees she was sure. A flower for each of them?
"Tell you what... At the end of our day together, why don't I try and guess a flower for both of you? It could be fun!"
A smile graced her face. Yes.. it was just the kind of game he would encourage. It wasn't that she was avoiding saying it now. No far from it... She simply wanted to be as accurate as she could with the choice for each of them.
"I'd hate to be even a little off you know?"
The once summoner stood back on her feet as Ayami went into a full speech on everything they were going to do. She coudnt help but give a chuckle. Such a pure, sweet person Ayami was. She liked that. It was so nice to see the people from her world held tight to happiness once more. It made all those fights more than worth it. Her head nodded in agreement, her face alive with curiosity.
"Yes let's go, the three of us~ lead the way!"

Ayami ended up mentioning that the flower seemed to suit Zeni well, which prompted the Android to smile a little wider. " Really?" For some reason, being complimented like that made Zeni feel happier than usual. Briefly, she wondered why that was, but she eventually she shakes it off and assumes it's simply because they're just that good at being friends! " Thanks, Ayami! I like your flower too!" With that said, Yuna would then chime in by saying that once they had all spent the whole day together, she'd guess which flower would fit them the best! " Oh! Now that sounds exciting!" , the Android always enjoyed pleasant surprises like this one!
Maybe she could learn how to do it too, then she could assign flowers to anyone she meets! That could be a lot of fun... " Maybe I can learn how to do that too!" Once that had been decided, Ayami mentioned that they'd go and see the rest of what this Garden has to offer, and started leading the way! " Yeah! Let's see what else we can find!" Things should get quite a bit more exciting now that they were traveling around with a genuine Hero like Yuna!" So, now that we're technically in a Hero's party... We'll probably get to do something really exciting, right? Like receive a quest to go fight a Dragon, or something!" It didn't exactly work like that... But you had to appreciate the Android's enthusiasm.------ Ayami Yuna

Ayami would give the android girl a bright grin upon being complimented in return. Seems she didn't exactly mind the compliments, although... It certainly wasn't something she was used to. But then, this whole journey had been full of things far out of the ordinary happenstance of her day to day life. After all - Not many people got to spend the day with their hero! But then, not many people get thrown out of their entire world accidentally either. Oops."Gee, thanks Zen!"She rubbed the back of her head bashfully, again not really used to receiving compliments like that. Usually back home it would just be "Good job Ayami" or "Nice job carrying that heavy part Ayami" or "How the hell did you make that machina explode Ayami, it doesn't even have a combustion engine". that last one in particular was her favorite compliment...Yeah, amazing."You will?! That's great! Oh I can't wait! I wanna know what kinda flower fits me, and Zeni too!"It was quite amazing how just seeing Yuna take interest in something was enough to cause the normally immovable mechanic to take some measure of interest of her own in it. Zeni bringing up how she wanted to learn how one put a flower to a person's personality piqued her own interest as well."A skill like that would normally be trivial in the pursuit of science... But hell, I'm game! I wanna learn how to do that too!"Ayami set off, proudly marching ahead through the sunlit gardens with the other two in tow, completely at the mercy of her antics disguised as "Adventure" as she did things like hopping down staircases in one leap. ... or at least attempting to. And things like walking through flower beds to - As she puts it "Take a shortcut"... Zeni mentioning that this was now technically a hero's party caused the mechanic that was oh so knowledgeable in Spira's heroes to chime in:"Absolutely! Although Yuna's the type of hero who fights world enders! Like Sin or the great machina Vegnagun. A machine that is strong enough to vaporize whole WORLDS! BOOM! ... GASP, YUNA CAN WE GO FIGHT A WORLD ENDING MONSTER?!"... A bit too enthusiastic, clearly. Perhaps starting smaller was better, like a single house ending monster, or... A plant ending monster.Something dark and sinister was watching from the shrubbery of the garden, eyeing up the strange beings of light that walked around so carefree, observing them to see if they posed a threat...The Spiran Mechanic was however so lost in the idea of fighting a great beast that she didn't seem to notice at all.--- Zeni Yuna
