Snippet #1586

The Yevon leader, Lani made a speech "My People, of Spira. We have all gathered here today, for the answers to all our problems lay within these young beings. The Aeons," Lani paused, "The Aeons that once defeated the enemy that a few times before tried to do us harm. Though it was us that did it harm!" Everyone cheered and clapped, and Lani smiled "The time has rose again, for us to send out our guardians into the world that they hold so dear. For in time, they will prove themselves the heroes of Spira!" the cheering got louder, "Well are we ready for the day to begin?" As Lani was saying his speech, he looked to Azrael, who's nervousness ended, but then started frantically looking in the crowd, his expression changed to a worried one, he then looked at Liam, who followed Azrael's gaze and also seemed worried. Riley too followed their gaze, but didn't notice anything, so they must of noticed something he didn't. He looked at Zell who seemed to be messing around with his playing cards, then Lucas who seemed to be uninterested with Lani's speech, then to Carina, who Riley thought looked kind of cute, she just seemed to be listening to all the cheers. Azrael looked at us and then ran on the platform that descended, the rest of us followed.

When Liam came on he told us, "I fear we may be watched. And no, I don't mean that in a good way. I don't know exactly who, or why, but I recognized the traditional assassin garb on at least one of our so-called well wishers. Trust me, I would know. We may not have to worry if this Machina gets us up sometime soon, but just in case, be ready. Just try not to show any sign of realizing it. I don't want to provoke anything. Azreal, what do you make of this? You obviously noticed them first." while looking around for them. So that's what they noticed! Riley thought as he waited with the others.
