Ah, I'm so tired... I've gotta give Shellhead and Pandoria a piece of my mind one of these days. Maybe next time we visit Sekis Pillar. Ahhhhh, I'm almost too sleepy for this...
Sorry, but Turters is our mascot. I know he's the cutest little chap in the world, but you can't have him.
Pandoria
You heard the Prince. If you ask nicely, we might allow you to pat him on the head...
Nia
Uh-huh. Thanks for confirming what I already guessed. You haven't even noticed, have you? He's been crawling into my bed every night.
Zeke
H-he's been what?!
Nia
If I'm not super careful, I worry I'm going to crush the little guy in my sleep. But like you say, he's your precious little mascot, yeah? I figured you'd be mad if I hurt him. So it's been keeping me awake the whole damn night.
Zeke
Well, I guess I should apologize on Turters' behalf.
Pandoria
Honestly, weren't you meant to be keeping an eye on him?
Zeke
Hahah! Well, you know me! Once my head hits the sheets, I'm out for the count!
Pandoria
Hmmm... We'd better find a way to stop him wandering off.
Pandoria
What would be a good plan?
Pandoria
He could sleep in my bed?
Trust +300
Zeke
Yeah... That might be the best solution.
Pandoria
He used to sleep in my bed back in the day, anyway. It'll be fine.
Zeke
I guess that settles it. Thanks, Pandoria!
Pandoria
You can count on me!
Nia
Hang on, though. You said he used to sleep in your bed "back in the day"... Just how long have you had this turtle?
Pandoria
Oh, it hasn't been as long as me and old Princey here, but...it's been quite a while, I think?
Nia
Huh. It's just that he's so small. I always assumed he was pretty young. So what would you do if he grew up to be Dromarch-sized?
Zeke
The things that go through that head of yours...
Nia
Watch it, you.
Pandoria
He wouldn't be quite so portable if that were to happen.
Nia
Right? It got me wondering, would you guys stick together even then?
Zeke
Why, I could ride around on top of Turters instead!
Yeah, you know what? I'm just gonna be glad that Turters stayed this size.
Pandoria
Let's flip this whole issue on its head.
Trust +100, Trust +100
Nia
Flip it?
Zeke
On its head?
Pandoria
Yuh-huh. I mean, Turters is one of the gang too, right? So I figure, me and Zeke can't keep hogging him forever. He doesn't belong to any one person. He's a precious mascot, to each and every one of us. So what I say is, why don't we all pitch in on looking after him?
Zeke
Oh, right! Great idea!
Pandoria
Right? If Nia's helping us out too, there's no problem with Turters sleeping in her bed.
Nia
Hold it, hold it. This isn't solving the issue of how I get some sleep. You can't just lump it all on me. Get someone else to help.
