[furorimperator]

...this quiet is a bit...unsettling.

The calm before the storm, perhaps...

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

Pointless, in any regard.

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

Then why is this quiet so unsettling?

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

Because it is unnecessary, Saleh. We are no closer to escaping this prison then we were at our arrival.

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

"Unncessary..."

You're the second person I've seen who has grown restless in this lull. That is what I find unsettling.

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

Hn, not so much restless as irritated. I have no desire for war, but if it is indeed war to which we are resigned, this waiting avails us nothing.

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

But time shall reveal the answers we seek. Irritation will accomplish nothing.

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

Perhaps.

I wouldn't count on it, however. The goddess was maddeningly vague in her "answers".

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

I'm simply grateful that she appeared at all and granted me new equipment.

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

Hn. Then it would seem she's quite selective.

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

She was seeking to aid those who were outmatched by the enemy, if I recall correctly. You were a formidable force already, I believe.

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

Be that as it may.

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

[There's a momentary pause.]

...How would you alleviate your...irritation?

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

With something constructive.

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

"Constructive..."

What may be constructive is a matter of perspective.

[Voice]

[furorimperator]

[Saleh, you're not helping. Hence Sephiroth's sigh of exasperation.]
