Oooh! A knock meant maybe Rude had beat Reno here! Rikku swung the door open with a cheery smile, one that changed as her jaw dropped and she took in the face of her visitor.

"Tseng," she breathed. He was coming, too?! Nobody told her anything!

And a moment later, she was totally grinning again, except this time she was reaching out to hug him. "I'm so glad you came!"

The last she'd heard, they weren't even talking! Okay, she and Tseng had had their differences -- a lot of them -- but he was important to Reno. Very important. And he was here.
