[Have a very annoyed looking Lloyd on the screen. If you can make out the background, you might realize this is the same apartment with the very messy room that Mithos showed everyone a few days ago. Lloyd, however, is sitting at a table, which is only easily guessable from the current angle.]

Do any of you know anything about this "etiquette" stuff? There is no way this can be right!

[He holds up a fistful of forks, each of them a slightly different size and make.]

Why would anyone need to eat with this many forks for one meal? You just have to poke it in the food and eat it! Doesn't this just make it a lot harder than it needs to be?

[He then proceeds to lift a napkin from his lap.]

And why do I need one of these on my legs? What if I drop food on it?

[He glances off to the side for a moment.]

Kratos is just making this up, right? He tried to teach me stuff I wanted to know before and he made it all way too hard then, too. I think he just does it to be a jerk!

[From somewhere out of the picture, another voice is heard.]

You realize I can hear you.

[Lloyd suddenly glances in the same direction again, now looking incredibly nervous.]

Cra-

[And the feed cuts out.]

Your teachers is quite right; etiquette is very complex. It's a mental exercise for the noble and the wealthy.

[boredallready]

So why is he teaching it to me? You're making it sound like school!

[clinical]

It essentially is. Perhaps he hopes to train your memory.

[boredallready]

But I know how to eat! Why would anybody need to remember all this extra stuff?

[clinical]

By training their minds to remember the placement and uses of various utensils, nobility preparing to become military leaders prepare themselves for study of battle placement and strategy.
