<div>Rikku awakens from his contemplation, and demands Azhur's attention: "Fine, I will accompany the newt. HOWEVER, I will only comply if you do something for me. Otherwise I will randomly start burning people." Rikku allows a moment for that threat to sink in. "My request is this: I wish a moment of the Emperor's time. Alone." </div>

dreams of living on great bowls of rice, even as the hordes of Ignorance<br>pour from the north. He, like the last Dragon Emperor, refuse to fight."<br><br>> - "But if the giant is too stubborn to see that unity is stronger than discord<br>
