(Just to be sure, this is happening in Ishgard, right?)
"Crazy!?" Evangeline turns to face the Au Ra woman, with a face that admittedly, looks slightly crazed.Â
"No, good comrade, I am the one who is sane! You all are locked in an eternal war with a foe you do not understand, giving praise to a god who does not protect you! For a thousand years you all! You common souls have fought and died while four noble houses and the Holy See feasted and relaxed on the backs of your labor."
"Open your eyes friend!"

She paused then, casting her gaze skyward for a moment before letting it fall back to the woman in front of her. "It matters not where they dwell, but rather whom they dwell within. Halone gives her people strength, and it is in that way doth she live."
As more folks from the crowd began to press in beside her, J'Keera took a moment of silence to observe how they reacted to the Elezen and her ideals. One man seemed far more grim than she, and had said naught; both of which peaked J'Keera's interest. Her gaze then swiftly shifted as another spoke out, denouncing the preacher, before leaving in a huff.
As another lass spoke their peace, J'Keera decided to chime in again.Â
"Tell me," She spoke up, sparing a glance in the grim man's direction, "Whom do you believe in then, if you do not bow to "Priests, Kings, or Gods"?" Her attention snapped back to the Elezen, a small quirk in her brow.
Evangeline brightens, "I'm glad you asked, Sister."
"Why I believe in the goodness and strength of every man and woman. We are not animals, to be hooked to a plow and driven. We are not dogs to be trained!"
"We can take control of our own destinies! Create our own laws, forge our own destiny!" She points up to the Cathedral on the hill, "Look not upwards for the will to resist, but to each other!"
"What right to nobles or gods have to demand our allegiance, what makes them superior to the commoner?"
