Getting a word in edgewise in the face of the angry, though still peacefully protesting crowd, was difficult, but Yuna somehow managed to raise her voice above the din. By the fountain, Yuna would be able to see a beautiful, fair haired elven woman--that's beautiful even by elven standards--help an olive-skinned human woman up onto the second tier of the fountain. The crowd quieted down, more so after seeing their fellow Shalan ascend than by request from the Rheaveth commander.<br/><br/>"I will speak on behalf of my kinsmen," the olive-skinned woman said. "My name is Tabitha Calas. And our interests are very simple: we want our city back. We ousted a corrupt official from his office, an official with strong ties to Rheaveth and how do you respond? You occupy the city! We demand you leave--this city's affairs are none of Rheaveth's concern!" The crowd roared, loudly echoing back Tabitha Calas' words in punchy shorthand--which all amounted to 'get the fuck out of the Alkenstar'.
