"Noctis, yes, knew it all along! Let us teach our new comrade Noctis how we dance," Rikuo doesn't miss a beat, playing into the stage whisper. Always better to be in on the joke than the subject.

Lining up now face to face with Noctis, he places his claws on own hips and demonstrates a few new steps, some that involve backing away and coming close. Once done, he performs a flourishing bow to indicate it's Noctis' turn. But this time, when Noctis starts, Rikuo will perform back- a mirror image, aside from him being a handsome fish. When they're close, another whisper. "You know anything that rhymes with Noctis? I'm stumped."
