"Oh, I'm no pretender." The banter helps pull Noctis out of his head a bit, and some of his usual fearless confidence returns to help defend his fishing pedigree. "I'm the real deal. Who's this claimant of yours? I'll prove my worth and then some."

In the meantime, he can at least prove his ability to scoop up a goldfish. It's a good thing she's floating, it makes moving a lot less difficult. He just heads over there, tugging her along like a particularly vivid balloon.

As it turns out, Noctis is pretty good at scooping goldfish, considering he's never done it before. He ends up with a bronze fish, which the vendor puts into a water-filled plastic bag and hands to him. He in turn hands it to Rose, with a teasing little mock-bow (also only possible because she's floating). "Your fish, my lady."
