When Asphyxious seemed to give some sigh of resignation, and beckoned for the others to look forth, Sazh did relax himself a bit. Following the Iron Lich's motions (wow, so that flame stuff wasn't just for show), Sazh saw as the makeshift torch was thrown out of the main doors. The surge of creatures revealed by the burning light startled Sazh somewhat, coupled with the darkness itself. For some reason, he couldn't recall the night setting or the throngs of other living things being there at all before. Had he been following blindly, or were this all just now making itself apparent.

"Oh, shoot. I totally did not see that before," Sazh spoke out in ultimately honest surprise, "Alright, yeah, I get what you're saying now. No telling what sorts of things would be crawling around here." When the armored skeleton motioned for the l'Cie to follow, Sazh straightened up again and jogged up to follow. He wouldn't draw his pistols until it came down to a real fight, but that could still come at any moment, and for that the old pilot was thankful he had honed his quick-drawing down to an art.

As a sudden afterthought, Sazh turned back around to face Morito, and said, "Uh, sorry, maybe it'd be better for you to stick around here? There oughta be a bedroom or two on the higher floors, and some of the other fellas will be nearby..."

When Sazh was able to get a good look outside, he was fairly astounded at how lively this world had suddenly become. What was really strange to Sazh was how... naturally, it all seemed to be. There wasn't anybody acitvely fighting each other nor seeming confused. Many creatures of varying shapes and sizes paced about the streets, all likely hailing from different worlds and eras; even the skies seemed to spark every so often with the streak of a flying beast or some futuristic craft.

The latter brought a pang of nostalgia to Sazh; he hadn't flown an airship proper in what felt like months. Just once now, he'd like a chance to fly around without either the risk of an enemy attack nor the fact that the airship was actually flying itself. Just him, the ship, the sky, and most definitely hopefully no crash landings. But that would all have to wait until much later, if at all.
