[Rikku's no stranger to this kind of bluntness from grown men, but that doesn't mean she's fond of it. She wrinkles her nose at him in response.
When offered the bottle, she accepts it, takes a sniff to assess its contents, and decides the spirits inside are far too much for her. She hands it back to him.]
I think I'm good--it's all yours.
[That settled, she considers his words a bit more and sighs. In her limited experience, she knows he's right. Growing up in Spira is a crash-course in letting life get in the way of dealing with tragedy and injustice, after all. People there don't have much choice--the only options are to find a reason to keep living or to find a reason to die.
Rikku has always preferred the former. Stubbornly finding a way to move forward is just how the Al Bhed are.]
That doesn't make what happened okay. But I guess you already know that.
[She flops backward in the dramatic way that only teenagers can truly manage.]
How much trouble do you think we'd get into if we made it our mission to make their lives harder for awhile?
