Hikaru: Ladies and gentlemen, the Beasties!
--
Lloyd: Do we like animals?
Senel: What?
Lloyd: Look, I have Noishe, Sheena has Corrine, Luke has Mieu, and Moses has Giet. Plus the people in the Tales of the World have little furry animals stalking them.
Moses: Haha, that's true.
Anise: Anyone else notice how they're all unique?
Klarth: Noishe is a Protozoan, Mieu is a sacred beast of the Order of Lorelei, Giet is a grand galf (supposedly untamable) and Corrine is a manmade Spirit . . .
Moses: So Lloyd, how does yer proto-whatever help you out?
Lloyd: He's our noble steed.
Moses: . . . What?
Senel: Kratos told me about Protozoans. You have the last living specimen of a proud and ancient species, oldest on Aselia after the elves, and you ride him around?
Will: Indeed, such humiliation . . .
Lloyd: Sh-shut it! Arshis was used in place of warhorses during the Kharlan War, y'know, since they were a lot stronger than horses!
Raine: My, Lloyd, are you actually studying?
Lloyd: . . . No.
Moses: Does Noishe help you fend off other unsightly beasties?
Lloyd (meekly): . . . Noishe is frightened of monsters.
Moses: Ha! Are you kiddin' me? Now, me an' Giet--
Jay: Shut up, Moses. Giet doesn't help us fight anything.
Senel: Yeah. And he did fight for you when you fought us in the Bandit's Lair . . .
Chloe: And we kicked both your butts.
Kratos: Really, for a beast of supposedly unmatched power . . .
Anise: That's kinda disappointing.
Moses: . . .Giet, sic 'em.
Lloyd: Hey, now, can't we talk first?!
