Melody merely nodded impassively, convinced that the beautiful and perfectly human Tifa would not understand the problems that come with having the wrong kind of ears.

- My boy didn't win... What a pity. What should I do now? Should I go to the foot tournament, disregarding all possible complications? Maybe there's a way for the ladies to get even there?

-- If I were a woman, I would say to choose someone else, but since I'm not, I suggest waiting until he wins the foot tournament. I'm also hoping for that, I bet on him... I also bet on Gunnlaug – not that I believe in his victory, but he would be offended otherwise, even if he pretends he doesn't care. Funny joke, huh," Amadeo smiles belatedly. "You have quite an interesting sense of humor."
-- If I were in that situation, I would play something specifically tailored to his image when he goes into battle," Melody suggested.
