[HQ Ignorance] Scene 91: Return to Nochet

[Damien Bosman]

do we get to Kralorela? Every minute we waste, my
fiendish......ahem......yes, well." Rikku notices this new woman, "Hi, who
are you? Irrelevant is my guess. Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, can we please
get moving towards Kralorela sometime this century?"
