Ronitt 	You...you're stayin' around, then? ...Not that I care!
Ronitt 	But since you're here, I might as well show you one of my favorite automata!
Ronitt 	I present to you the invincible, the unstoppable...Megasonic Frogboy!
Ronitt 	He might not look much different to the other models, but I've upgraded him with some new features I invented. Behold!
Ronitt 	La...Lali-ho!
Automan 	La...Lali-ho!
Ronitt 	Ugh, you only need one “La”!
Automan 	Ugh, you only need one “La”!
Ronitt 	...Well? Pretty amazin', huh?
Ronitt 	Hey! What's that look for!?
Ronitt 	Oh, I see. You're thinkin', “He can greet some overgrown toy just fine, but he's too scared to talk to actual people!” You just don't understand me!
Automan 	<bzzzt> You just don't understand me!
Ronitt 	I've got bigger things to worry about than mindin' my manners. You help me out with my stuff, though, and maybe I'll forgive you for underestimatin' me. Just this one time, though!
Ronitt 	S-So, I need you to take this coal to Xemutt! She's one of the village elders, and her automaton is due for some fuel.
Ronitt 	T-Take that coal to Xemutt! Her automaton must be runnin' low by now...
 	
Xemutt 	Lali-ho!
You must be the visitor Xamott was talking about. What can this old lady do for you?
Xemutt 	Oho! On a little errand for Ronitt, are you? That's nice.
Xemutt 	I can't get around like I used to, what with this bent back of mine... Would you mind feeding that coal straight into Diligent Spirit there?
Xemutt 	There's a fuel chute on the front of Diligent Spirit. That's right, lass/lad, just pour the whole lot in.
 	
Xemutt 	Poured the lot in then, have you? Thank you, dear. You're as kind as our Ronitt.
Xemutt 	When he heard how my back was giving me trouble, that fine young lad went and hammered together my oddly named helper here. Hardly a day goes by when he doesn't stop past to see it's working properly.
Xemutt 	Aye, he's a surly boy, but his heart's in the right place.
Xemutt 	It's just a pity he handles his failures with frustration...
Xemutt 	If he persevered with his greetings instead of lashing out, I'm sure he'd be capable of a lovely “lali-ho.”
Xemutt 	Actually, I'm surprised he even asked you to bring me my fuel. I've never known him to do that before─not with anyone.
Xemutt 	I've a feeling you'll be the one to get through to him, lass/lad, so...be patient, if you can. Thank you again for the delivery!
 	
Ronitt 	You delivered the coal to Xemutt, then!?
Ronitt 	Wait! She...she didn't say anythin' strange about me, did she?
Ronitt 	Anyway...th-thanks for the help. Maybe you and I can be friends after all. “Maybe,” I said!
