[Panel 1:] Roy and Eliwood circa FE6. Eliwood is bracing Roy's shoulders and wearing a supportive smile; Roy looks exasperated and is beginning to blush. They're implicitly in the midst of polite conversation at some kind of party.
Eliwood: "Yes, Super Smash Brothers! So you know of it! / My son is one of the top-ranked competitors in the world, actually."
Roy: "no I'm not"
Eliwood: "'Smashletes,' they're called."
Roy: "they're not called that"
Eliwood: "Remind me, who were some of the other ones...?"
Roy: "I don't know... like... [smaller:] M-Mr. Game and Watch...?"
Eliwood: "Oh, come on."
Roy: "Dad... they don't want to hear about—"
[Panel 2:] Eliwood, looking a little more confident in his line of conversation, gestures towards his guests with one hand and continues to grip Roy's shoulder with the other, a little firmer now that Roy is actively trying to sink out of sight, blushing intensely and staring downward with a grimace.
Eliwood: "Pikachu? / Do you know who Pikachu is? / Of course you do. Well, Pikachu was there, along with a few other Pokey-mon."
Roy, under his breath: "oh for—"
Eliwood: "Yes, Super Mario as well!"
Roy: "it's just mario"
Eliwood: "And what was the porcupine's name? Somniac or some such...?"
Roy: "*Sonic,* and he's a hedgehog, and I *know* you're doing this on purpose—"
Eliwood, talking over him: "Anyway, Somniac the porcupine ["SONIC THE HEDGEHOG" in Roy's voice underpins this atrocity] is a favorite to win the whole thing, but Roy's given him a run for his money!"
Roy: [tiny text] "will someone please either warp me or kill me"
Eliwood needs to survive FE6 so he can do this all the time forever.
