As Kadyn asked his question a loud cheering rang out
from the crowd.  There was no single person cheering
loudly, but the accumulation of voices made for a loud
cheer.  The response of Amber's grandfather was almost
drowned out.

"I checked a minute ago, and I believe that it is now
almost 10:45, my boy," he said.  "It has me very
concerned."
