Before anyone could ask anything more, the Viewer himself disappeared into a black hole of his own power, presumably just a fancy way of teleporting off elsewhere. Caught midway through a gesture to say something, Sazh dropped it and shugged. Looked around, he took to mind what everyone else was suggesting.

"Groups, eh? ...Mmm, that could work out. Guess we [i]do[/i] oughta get a better look around..." Sazh mumbled, somewhat approving of Saber's first proposition of a plan. He perked up again at the mention of some people going back to inform the rest of people back in the forest clearing. Logically speaking, it would most likely be better if someone with a more 'normal' appearance came to share the news, rather than, indeed, an undead war skeleton or a girl who nonchalantly set everything on fire. Sazh would be happy to elect himself as someone to tell the rest of the group; however awkward of a time he could have communicating this to the rest of the people here, it may be much harder if some of the other individuals tried to do that instead.

Then, the lich beagn going on about talking about possible hazards, and proposing a signal plan between the groups in case of danger. But the l'Cie had gotten the impression that the challenges wouldn't start until a little over 3 hours later. "Uh, hey, look; I'd say," Sazh began with a slight pause, "...that we first worry about getting everyone here and informed of, well, everything that's going on, and then worry about defense and stuff like that afterwards, when we know what everyone can do. After all, that first challenge isn't gonna start for, what, three hours?" The aged man shrugged in conciliation. "I just don't think we should be expecting trouble before that time, is all."

"As for the "gettin' all the others" part, I can totally do that," Sazh lighted his voice in reassuring tones, putting his hands up in a way that said 'I got this'. "It's just that, no offense to you, skeleton guy, but your, uh, appearance... isn't exactly a friendly-looking one, if you get what I'm saying." His arms didn't leave the pose, only just waving the hands as if he was trying to cut off a message.
