<div>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." </div>
<div> </div>
<div>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."</div>

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

<div>Azhur looked at the surviving godlearner with a questionning glance, kept silent while he was pondering his answer and finally he said:<br>- "Agreed ! Start burning people around randomly...

<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>
