- "If not for my actions more would have died! Nevertheless, if this
ceasefire leads to a quicker resolution of matters in this land and a
speedier exit to the lands of my foul brother, then I will be satisfied to
speak to this General about the hastiest way to get out of here. Let us
speak no more. Let us negotiate with this fool General."

[OOC: Good roleplaying Loran :) I like the character dymanics between Rikku

unaware of this. I'm sure the 'fool' remark will not go down well ;) ]
