Grateful for the distraction, Aeris turned. "Hmm? I don't know, I guess something...breakasty, sort of. Quiche? Yeah, that and a cappucino sound good." She sighed, and relaxed into one of the nearby chairs, rubbing her temples a little.
In a moment, she spoke again. "So, uh, I just got to hear the last of that. What were you saying, uh, Billy?"

"Oh, naturally! Who could forget Julia?" She hummed a bit of "Eyes on Me"--now that was going to be in her head for weeks. Rinoa smiled at the familiar melody, but decided to wait and see if Billy would launch into an anti-government rant again. When provoked he was surprisingly eloquent (in a similar fashion to Squall), which she thought was a hoot. Just, instead of being silent most of the time he was blinky and tended to smush together replies.

"Um... I was talking about how ineffectual politicians were," he replied, having recovered from his startled... ness. "There needs to be change if we really want to solve things."

Aeris snorted. "I hear that. They just keep funding all those corporations, and their own bloody stupid projects, without even thinking about who might be affected--I swear, I could just...ugh." She shook her head. "Hm? ...What do you mean by that? Are you proposing to run for office here? As clever as you sound, I doubt it'd be that easy."

"Not THAT kind of change," he replied. "I meant... getting RID of the government. For a good cause."

"Oh."
That was different. After a moment, she nodded, a tad slowly. "I assume you mean, and replace it with a better one? ...Under you, I guess?" Though the current world order seemed to be run by freaks and idiots, she wasn't fond of the idea of anarchy.

"I guess," he mumbled feebly. "I mean--I definitely wouldn't leave everyone hanging after their president gets deposed, so... yeah."

Aeris raised an eyebrow, starting to get interested, now. "Hey, come on! That's no way to be a world-conqueror! If you're going to attempt to take over the world, have a little courage and charisma! Show 'em you're better!"

"Be like Napoleon—take over France and spread your influence. And don't let England get in the way like last time," Hallie added, bringing up Aeris' meal and setting it before her.

"And I'll wait for summer before trying to get Russia," Billy joked.

"See? You learn from history. Already you're one step ahead of Hitler!"

"AND Napoleon," Aeris added.

Aeris' mouth was full, but she grinned, and on swallowing, took an appraising look at them both. "I think we could do it," she said, half-jokingly.

It was extremely nice to be among smart people for once.
"What is history but a record of mistakes and success? I bet I could take over France. As long as someone I know doesn't d.... screw up."
