[HQ Ignorance] Re : Re : Re : Scene 116: Peace in Our Time

Rikku ponders momentarily. "Hmmm.....Your calculations seem to be correct.
Nevertheless, I would still like to request a moment of the Emperor's time.
And seeing as how I am a "slave" in this scenario I need you to ask the
Emperor for me."

Rikku heaves a sigh, and for the first time in his life contemplates a
situation in which violence wasn't the solution to a problem. He mutters
under his breath: "What is this world coming to."

[OOC: Of course. ;) I'm having fun roleplaying Rikku :) ]
