Hey, everyone. I hope you're all in good spirits today.

[The voice coming across on the network is friendly enough. Legault isn’t here to be sleazy...for the most part.]

It’s been a while since we all had that dinner to remember together, hasn't it? I’ve been thinking since then, and I’m sure you all have been as well. You’re a helpful lot like that. Here’s my question for you, then. Do you consider yourself to be a Hero of Light now? Do you feel any more heroic? Or maybe you were a hero back home? I guess I’m curious.

[And then there’s silence for a moment. Unfortunately for someone else, he starts speaking again.]

That reminds me. My roommate—her name is Mòrag. I fear she’s been a little lonely lately, and I hardly ever see her socializing. If you see her, won’t you try to befriend her? You have my gratitude in advance.

voice;

[garyoutensei]

Hell no.

[thehurricane]

You won't even consider it? She's a little stiff, but she isn't all bad, you know.

[He's going to quite purposefully get which part of the message she's replying to wrong.]

[garyoutensei]

You know what I meant. -a small groan.-

As for your friend, she might like Suzu. She doesn't talk at all, but she's good, peaceful company.

[thehurricane]

My mistake.

[His shit-eating grin is practically audible.]

She doesn't talk at all? I have a feeling Mòrag would appreciate that. I've heard a terrible rumor that her roommate is too talkative for her liking.

[garyoutensei]

Can't imagine where anyone'd get that impression. -A mirthless chuckle.-

As for Suzu, as far as I can tell, something happened to her when she was still a cub, or whatever they call baby moogles, and that's why she doesn't speak. She can make sounds, she's not mute or anything, but if she can communicate an idea without words, that's what she'll do.

I like her.

[thehurricane]

I wish I knew.

[He pauses, wondering if Mòrag really would enjoy that company or not. From what he can tell, though...]

You should keep an eye out for her yourself. I don't think she's much of a drinker, but you have at least one thing in common.

[garyoutensei]

And what do you figure that is?

[thehurricane]

Your acquaintanceship with me, of course. Bonding over a common enemy often makes for strong friendships, I've found.

[garyoutensei]

I think you may be selling yourself a little high to call yourself an enemy.

[thehurricane]

Between her opinion of me and yours, that's about where I average out.

[She really, really doesn't like him. And he sounds fine with it.]

[garyoutensei]

So from mildly annoying to what I can only imagine is abject hatred.

[thehurricane]

Now you're getting it. I can't really blame her, though. But she's not bad herself. She's stiff, and she has strong morals. Those are admirable traits from where I'm standing, considering I have neither.

[garyoutensei]

It sounds like you admire her a great deal.

[thehurricane]

I'm fond of her, but I wouldn't go that far. We're still strangers, after all.

[garyoutensei]

Whatever you tell yourself.

Point is, I don't wanna make friends with her. I don't get along well with non-humans.

[thehurricane]

She's just as human as you or I are, I imagine. I haven't asked. I don't want to be rude.

[garyoutensei]

Wait.

Are we not talkin' about a moogle here?

[thehurricane]

I'm afraid not. My partner in crime's name is Cath. Mòrag is one of us.

[garyoutensei]

You can't tell me Mòrag doesn't sound like a moogle name.

[thehurricane]

Any name can sound like a Moogle's name if you believe hard enough.

[garyoutensei]

Ugh. Shut up.

Anyways, I guess her being human changes my answer.
