"Well, you know, the interest of Gaia's people probably doesn't mean anything to them," Zidane could see things in the...more selfish context that most people functioned in and people like Garnet and the Regent seemed to miss. "They probably want to go home, or baring that they probably want to get as much as they can for themselves if they are stuck here."

Was it something of a jaded outlook? Sure. But zidane was used to seeing that part of people. He could see good in them too, but overall he had to assume that if they were ignoring Gaia's leaders, they didn't particularly care for Gaia itself. "Next time just have a meeting with you and Cid and...who is running Burmecia now? And just tell the 'extra leaders' what you decided?"
