[they swing aymeric's hand a little, still holding it.]
... Yeah, I know. [they peer up at him.] A lot of people here are nice enough to tell me that. I'll be okay if I am alone, I have been before, but... I'm glad to hear it.
[ It is good that they're laughing even if Aymeric legitimately doesn't know shit about Space Jam. He doesn't even know there's cartoon rabbits in it. ]
Those would be your words if you were to meet one from that star, Lord Bass? Have care...
Nah, I don't know anything about Space Jam except for the memes. If I was gonna dress up I'd do something cool, like... I don't know, something super scary. With real crazy makeup and everything, really in the spirit.
Mayhap a Voidsent? I believe they're similar to demons, though their origins are different on my star. [ Thinks some more. ] The most I've celebrated Saint's Wake was a pair of animal ears.
[the fact that you have to confirm that normal-ass animals exist in ff14]
Wow, that was really sincere! [they tell him, clearly joking.] Anyway, yeah. Lions're big and noble and they lead stuff. Slow to anger but they'd kick your ass if you messed with them.

If there was a matching beard, I would resemble my late father.
[ But now that the laughs are done. ]
Lord Bass, unearthing the unknown can be both thrilling and terrifying... Wherever we land, pray remember you are not alone.

[ damn... saying sad things while swinging their hands. Aymeric frowns, but he understands. ]
Have you perused the costumes? [ He leads them! ] I have heard there are some that pay homage to champions.
no subject
but they follow along happily enough.]
I've been in here a lot looking for stuff to dress up in. [...] Champions? Like what?
no subject
Anyway. Aymeric will stop in front of this one. This is the one. A champion. ]
no subject

That's a dude from Space Jam.
no subject
[ yeah? (endwalker spoilers for last trial). ]
no subject
... Do you think Space Jam is a real historical event, Mr. Meric?
no subject
... Is it?
no subject
so hard not to laugh.]
No? I... I don't think it is. [aw jeeze what if they've forgotten space jam was actually party of history]

[ A good yellow. ]
Do tell me, Lord Bass, would this person be considered a champion in Space Jam?
[ as in, the movie. in the movie. ]
no subject
I... guess? I think the toons are more the champions in Space Jam.
no subject
no subject
Cartoons! Like, uh. Animation, I guess. Drawings that move really fast so it looks like they're in motion.
no subject
Ah, akin to movies, but drawings. [ ... ] I imagine you do not wish to dress as this character.
no subject
Nah, I don't know anything about Space Jam except for the memes. If I was gonna dress up I'd do something cool, like... I don't know, something super scary. With real crazy makeup and everything, really in the spirit.

[they grin.]
Demon, huh. I could -- hold on. [long pause... they focus... and then they have little stubby demon horns. yeaaaaaah]
no subject
... A lion. What qualities do you see reflected in a lion? I'm curious—[ but then they do their little shapeshifting thing.
Sometimes they really just grow things. ]
How devilish. It frightens me how fitting it is.
no subject
Wow, that was really sincere! [they tell him, clearly joking.] Anyway, yeah. Lions're big and noble and they lead stuff. Slow to anger but they'd kick your ass if you messed with them.
no subject
Hm... Sensible observation. [ Sees a lion costume and picks it up? ] Do you have animal assignments for other colors?
no subject
Scarlet's like... snapping turtles. Amber's like dogs. [... they stop because that's all they're sure about.]
no subject
[ cute friendly bright birds. ]
