The moment she appeared in front of him he was immediately on guard and ready to strike. His defensive stance was strong that depicted that he knew how to defend himself in spite of being a praetor. Baralai was far from being a pushover.

He heard her introduction and his defense softened to a more social stance where he canted his head to the side. "That doesn't make any sense. I thought ninja's were quieter and masked people didn't give their names."

His tone was dismissive and he scoffed. "Your entrance needs work."

Lora giggled and flew next to Yuffie. "That was amazing, kupo! Don't mind him. He's a stick in the mud."

Baralai's face contorted into an expression that depicted near disgust. Really? Did his moogle just say that about him? He wanted to roll his eyes and instead he recomposed himself and shook his head. "If you'll excuse me, I have work to do."

"See, see?!" Lora huffed. "He's hopeless. Hopeless, kupo! Does he ever smile?"
