Well, that feels rude.

[Amused Male Voice: “I thought he still had like, six or seven years to go?”]

[Cocky Male Voice: “No, notthatother one.”]

[Sultry Female Voice: “I dunno. He’s definitely the cuter one.”]

Thank you, disembodied voice.

[Sultry Female Voice: “And you know I’m a sucker for a good love story.”]

[Curt Female Voice: “Seeing as this is who we prepared for, I think we should be grateful.”]

[Proud Male Voice: “He’s plenty strong. I’m not even sure I’d know what to do with hisbrother.”]

Brother?

[Defensive Male Voice: “He would have been just as strong, simply in different ways. Have you known my line tobe weak?”]

Who are these people?

[Disdainful Male Voice: “Are we certain you want to do this, brother? He called you a drama queen.”]

Wait, I know these people?

[Haughty Female Voice: “He’s not wrong.”]

I think that’s the tenth voice I’veheard now.

[Defensive Male Voice: “Excuse me?”]

[Cocky Male Voice and Curt Female Voice: “He’s not.” “He’s not.”]

Those are definitelysiblings.

[Exasperated Male Voice: “Can we move things along? It’s a pain in the ass getting up here, and we really don’t have a lotof time.”]

We don’t?

[Defensive Male Voice: “Yes, yes. Is everyone ready?”]

No! I still don’t know what’sgoing on!

[Wise Female Voice: “Is this truly the onlyoption?”]

[Defensive Male Voice: “You know that it is,sister.”]

[Wise Female Voice: “He just has such a difficult journey aheadof him.”]

...I do?

[Defensive Male Voice: “A journey he will not be making alone.”]

[Cocky Male Voice: “Good thing too. I have a feeling this one is going to need help with control. At least he already likes being kept on a tight leash.”]

[Curt Female Voice: “Yes, I’d say we lucked out with his large green master, as long as he actually does what he’ssupposedto.”]

Khazak?
