If the day long lecture Metem gave Heliotrope already didn't work, then I don't know what will...

It's never once bothered you that there are times I can't handle touch?

Havin' a party and you didn't invite me?~ I'm wounded, baby!~

The heavyweight fighters will really be in trouble then!

You ever get tired of always askin' first or waitin' for me to initiate touch?

Ha! Just make sure to get my good side when you make it~

[He comes back from his room with a small bag hung over his shoulder.]

You're not bringing anything yourself? You got a second home there or something?~

Especially when I brought 'em a gift~

[It's hard not to tense as some of the moogles begin to fly around him, unsure what to make of the tiny creatures and all their questions, but he still smiles at them with practiced ease.]

If it bothers you, just tell 'em. Good friends'll back off.

I just don't know what constitutes a 'pretty boy,' other than I think he's pretty.

Ah, yeah, friends tend to do that... Sugar teased me relentlessly when she found out I caught feelin's for someone.

It's all in good fun though.

Because it's about him?
