[The camera shows nothing but pavement, the edge of some wet fingers, and the ends of a really flashy red cape, fabric worn and water-heavy, trailing on the ground. Oh, and an adorable little white rabbit chomping down on the end of that cape.]

I don't get it. I don't freakin' get it at all. What--

OI!

[Suddenly the camera jerks and... goes flying. Seems Kamina, not knowing what it was, tossed it over his shoulder. It clatters against the coral, still recording for a few moments.]

Oi, lil' punk! Come here. I'll friggin' teach you to attack a guy from the rear when he ain't lookin'.

[Kamina dives for the rabbit, trying to catch it, and then the feed cuts.]

A true man's spirit is always on fire, and don't ya forget that.

[Still looking, still looking. Oh hey look, weird starfish thing.]

That sounds kind of painful!

Maybe if you ain't manly enough to contain the burning magma that fills a man's soul.

[Oh hey look, he finally found where all the speaking if coming from. Just gonna look at the camera properly now.]

[ah.]

Another beastman punk. Come here and face the great Kamina-sama like a man.

[ She's glubbing with you, not at you. Really. ]

I'm not a man, silly! I'm a girl, and I'm not a beast either. I'm a troll!

Just 'cause you ain't a man, don't mean you can't be one. And what the hell is a troll anyway?

That doesn't make much sense!

A troll is... what I am! I don't know what else to tell you.

You'd understand it if you were a man.

You look like a beastman to me.

I think I would know what I am and what I am not! And since I have never even heard of a beastman before now, I'm pretty sure that means I'm not one.

[This is the kind of logic, Kamina can believe.]

I'll be generous then and believe you ain't one.

Great! What did you say your name was again?

Kamina. But a kid like you can call me bro.

Are you sure? Does that mean we can be friends?

I wouldn't say so if I didn't mean it! The great Kamina-sama doesn't lie.

I dunno... how do I know you're not lying about not lying??

Ya just gotta take my word for it.

What's in it for me if I do?

[ She is so just teasing, is he actually taking this seriously? ]

Then you getta be friends with me.

[Maybe. Probably.]

Hmmm... okay then! [ She's aware they just went in a circle, yes. But that's half the fun! ] You better impress me!

Who the hell do you think I am?! Of course, I'll impress you!

You're on! But until then, you are on friendship probation!
