Elidibus may seem to be giving an introduction out of hand with the entirety of the encounter. It has its purpose, two-fold. First it would be best to have some context lay out for the one person in the room not from their world. Neutral facts that are not particularly swayed much by the difference in their realities but useful information nonetheless.

And second, attempting a subtle reminder with keywords such as Garlean, royalty, and Zenos. When Q'uila, after taking offense at the prince's insinuation lashes out with something that can only be termed an order, even the Ascian's normally blank facade is seen showing the barest of winces while he closes his eyes and lets out a sigh. Tidus might easily notice it. Whether the other two are more embroiled in each other for the moment as to miss it remains to be seen.

Pity there are no points for trying in this race. There is a phrase Elidibus remembers for moments like these. Many, many lifetimes ago and on occasion throughout that span since. It's been a while since he used it.
