A/N: Haha. Just a silly little drabble-esque thing. "The Mi'ihen Highroad" and "Guadosalam" for this one, folks. I'm not sure I like having this from the perspective of a non-Syndicate member. Sorta disturbs the intimacy of the series, I think. But I guess it's all right. Thoughts?

Slight Problem

Guadosalam wasn't normally this crowded. Yuna frowned a little. Was something wrong? Leblanc's goons were all over the northern Moonflow bank, and they all looked like they didn't know what to do.

She felt it was the least she could do to come visit after so long. It was just that she'd been so busy! She couldn't give up the life of a sphere hunter quite so easily, even having finally found what she was looking for. It was way too exciting. She was glad, then, that he thought so too.

The sole problem rolled around during blitzball season. Of course Wakka had bullied him into becoming the Aurochs' new captain, and of course he hadn't refused. It just meant a couple weeks apart while Yuna went right on globetrotting. That was how she found herself here, at the gates of Guadosalam, with Rikku hanging on her arm and bouncing.

"Why's everybody outside?"

"Let's find out."

Yuna wanted to introduce Leblanc to him. She wasn't sure why. The fact that they were the only two non-Al Bhed blondes in all of Spira might've had something to do with it. He was from another world. She lightheartedly wondered what Leblanc's excuse was.

She and Rikku descended the stairs into the city, but were stopped by the glut of people packing the path in front of them. Man and Guado alike shouted over one another, and she could just barely make out Leblanc's shrill yell of "don't you patronize me!" before she again faded into all the background noise.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Ormi slanted against the far wall, arms folded. She always liked Ormi; he was very sweet at heart.

Rikku ran ahead, stopped, and cocked her head up at him in curiosity. "Hey, Ormi! What's going on?"

He looked frazzled as he replied: "Those Guado want their Chateau back."
