No. No, this is not what a professional broadcaster would do. Granted, "professional broadcaster" was a new profession, but Kali was certain that overthinking things would be the unprofessional thing. He put on his practiced, gleaming white smile and repeated.

He was cut off by what sounded like an explosion in the distance. Kali looked around, then up at the sky.
"...doesn't look like thunder's coming...huh. A-anyway. this is just taking the pulse of the people and hearing their opinions about Ul'dah!"
He spun around on his heel, continuing to speak into his pearlstick and to nobody in particular. "And you heard him! Climate! Though it would take a very special sort of person to consider the desert air something as enjoyable! Genuinely, the heroes of Eorzea are made of stern stuff!"
