TAG: Rikku! Words: 672
ONE LAST THING: The Al-Bhed is "Hey, keep quiet. You in here, Rikku?"

And there for a while Gippal thought he’d never get rid of that Prompto guy. That PSICOM had thought it was a good idea to hire a guy like him – with no sense, basically – didn’t exactly speak well for the organization to begin with. We’re the professionals! We hire only the elites and the best of the best! Yeah, Gippal thought it was a lot of hot air from PSICOM at this point. But as much as the annoying blond man had ruined Gippal’s mood, the other things on the Al-Bhed’s mind completely dwarfed his frustration, because they involved people far more important to him than any random PSICOM lackey who tried to bother him for a few minutes.
He was pretty glad that this PSICOM base wasn’t too picky about who could go where. As Gippal approached a certain doorway in the hall, stopping and biding time by appearing to be scratching an itchy knee while he tried to check and see if anyone was coming, he hoped he’d find the door unlocked. After he was pretty sure no one was around to see him, he casually hit a few keys on the door’s panel. It took far too long to confirm to him that he had entry, but once it did and he’d checked the hallway one final time, Gippal leaned forward to push it open and stepped easily inside. From there, it was all about just looking like he belonged.
Gippal had seen them bringing her – Rikku- into the base, but since no one around here listened to him about anything apparently, they’d told him to lay off for the time being. Yeah, sure, Gippal was going to lay off when he’d spotted the first familiar face he’d seen on this planet, or on Bhunivelze. But he wasn’t going to start causing some kind of incident by pushing his way through PSICOM personnel just because he was too impatient to wait a while and see what was up with Rikku and why she’d been brought to this little Sinhole of a base that they’d stuck out here near crystal dust city. So he’d waited, bided his time, gotten to the guy, Prompto, that had brought her here in the first place, and now Gippal was going to, one way or another, make his way into the same room with Rikku to see how things were going and whether or not she was alright. The two of them had barely had any time to even talk when they were back in Spira while they were dealing with the Shuyin problem, so her being in the same base – and apparently not allowed to leave right now, from what he heard – sounded like a perfectly good opportunity to make up for…time passed, in a way.
A PSICOM technician passed him, and Gippal made no special show of things, only nodding to her as he passed and throwing up a hand in greeting. She passed by without looking at him funny or really doing anything but coldly nodding back. Gippal chewed on the inside of his cheek a second until she’d rounded a corner, and then continued on, looking for the room where he’d hopefully find Rikku. Being so new to this whole game in Gran Pulse, Gippal didn’t have…much clearance at all for passing through PSICOM bases however he wanted to. As long as he didn’t cross paths with a superior before he found a certain little Al-Bhed princess, things would be perfectly fine.
And to his great luck, he didn’t. He passed two more hallways, occasionally looking over his shoulder, before he found the door that was supposed to lead him to Rikku. Again, he did his hallway checking before typing in the general access code, and thankfully the code worked and the door slowly crept to the side to provide him entry. He took said entry, swinging his eyes around the room and tempering his voice as he eased the door shut. ”Rao, gaab xiead. Oui eh rana, Rikku?”
