Bohdan had been following Cassius this whole time.  He drew his spear in preparation to help protect him from anything that might come their way.  "I suggest letting me be in front, Cassius.  I've probably seen more battles comparable to this one than you have."  He wasn't exactly lying, but the truth was he'd never really seen [i]anything[/i] like this.  He gripped his spear tightly and held it in a defensive stance, ready to take one anything that came their way as he tried to position himself between Cassius and any potential danger.  

[i]Was that man talking about Yevon just now?[/i]  Obviously he was, but it seemed strange to Bohdan.  From the history he'd learned, Yevon sounded like a mostly positive thing until fairly recently.  Had things really gotten this bad?  Maybe there had always been underlying problems that just didn't become more pronounced until more recent generations.  "With any luck, I'll get to put some of what I've already learned to use before the day's end, better me than innocent people with no combat training.  I'm glad you want to support them too."
