Oi.

When you get five minutes between beating up monsters and saving kids from being beaten up by monsters, I need a favour.

What favor? I'm a bit busy with saving children from being beat up by monsters.

[espio]

Yeah, but you can spare five minutes at some point.

I need some of your photographs.

And probably your camera, too.

[redcinemareel]

Yes and no.

[espio]

Yes to what and no to what?

[redcinemareel]

Yes and no, respectively.

[espio]

Yes you have five minutes, no to giving me anything?

I just need some pictures. And I need a decent one of you, too.

[redcinemareel]

That's correct. My camera is practically a relic. Very advanced for my century. No one touches it. Not even Marco.

What are you planning to do with my pictures, and especially pictures of me?

[espio]

Do you really need to know?

Toby's still got all the Christmas decorations up because "they're pretty" and make him happy.

I'm not gonna make him take them down, but I figured I could get him something else, and my first thought was photo frames. Some of the really colourful and decorative ones. They'd look nice, and he could have pictures of all of us in them.

I can get some from Balamb when we go back, I just need something to go in them.

[redcinemareel]

What sort of question is that? Of course I need to know!

You're rather thoughtful, Pinky! Have you picked out a few yet?

Now I wonder if there is a family portrait of us in one shot. Doubtful, but something to ponder.

[espio]

No, on the basis that I haven't actually looked at any yet. You'll have to show me.

But I'm pretty sure we don't have all of us in one shot anywhere.

[redcinemareel]

I'll make some time to show you the ropes.

Did you want to have a photo with all of us in it?

[espio]

Thanks.

And yes, I would, really.

[redcinemareel]

Fine. Be ready to smile!

[espio]

...how did you make that sound ominous?

[redcinemareel]

Do you want my assistance or not?

[espio]

Depends on how badly you want to humiliate me.

Seriously though. Yes, I want to do this. And I want to make it a surprise.

[redcinemareel]

I already gave Toby that handy little book. My determination to humiliate you has been appeased for now.

You know I can keep a secret.
