Mister Amic - Gladio is real nice, kupo, and he said I could ride on his shoulders!

Yea, her name is Farfalline. But I decided to give her a nickname and chose Noodle, so now she's Noodle. [Said Moogle flutters her wings and beams up at Gladio.]

She seems to like it. You gonna give yours a nickname?

[Something about this kid makes him think of Iris. Probably the age, at least the age he's guessing.]
