Yuna’s so tired all of a sudden that she’s shaking. She knows it’s from the joining, but she can’t help but remember the fayth - Natassa - saying that she would tire her out. The thought worries her some. 

“Yuna strong,” Kimahri says, laying one hand on Yuna’s shoulder. 

“I hope so,” Yuna says, smiling at the ronso. 

Once they’re back outside, they’re greeted by ronso, everywhere. A few even block the path. 

Aten doesn't quite flare up around them, choosing to settle into his more human form, looking around, pausing to see if Kimahri thinks this is a threat.

Kimahri looks concerned, but hasn’t settled into a battle ready stance.

The two ronso that Kimahri fought come to the head of the group. 

And then they start to sing.

Anri closes eir eyes and bows eir heads as ey listens.

Yuna presses a hand to her heart, and tries not to cry. “It’s so beautiful,” she murmurs. 

Even Auron has stopped to listen, an inscrutable look on his face. 

"It is," Anri agrees. "It still speaks to me..."

"You're still a summoner, just not one bound to Yevon. You're free," Yuna says with a little nudge.

Lulu lowers her head, expression a little lost.

"Lulu..?" 

"I'm all right. Just...thinking."

"You're not bound to Yevon either," Anri points out quietly to Yuna. Then, to Lulu: "Gil for your thoughts?"

"Just...remembering the lost, and wishing they were here, so close to our goal."

"Wakka and Chappu would both be so proud of you," Yuna says, hugging her.

The ronso's song draws to an end, and they bow to Yuna.

Yuna bows back.

After a moment of thought, Anri bows as well. It might not be aimed at em, but-

“We go.” Auron leads the way up back to the path.

And he's followed, Anri continuing to stick close to Yuna.

The walk up the mountain continues until the sun starts to dip, and Auron calls for camp to made. 

Yuna drops against the cliff wall, hugging her knees. “It’s so cold up here,” she says, calling a little flame to her hand. 

Kimahri arranges a rock circle, and Lulu casts a fire spell inside it.
