Haven't seen that one. I think the only attempt at American sounding I've heard from him was in Liar Liar. And I have no contact with Elite Dangerous. Thus my lack of viable voice samples to construct with. Ah well, it's a small thing.

I had figured, the FFXIV voice cast doesn't seem to play theirs up as such, but they make no effort to hide them either. I mostly picked Y'shtola for the 'lower than you might expect' and 'cultured but not cold' descriptors.

He deserved it. The background is that the player has, by the time of that scene, interacted quite a lot with both big axe guy (whose tribe is big, full of themselves, and associate themselves with the Sun) and the laughing mage girl (whose tribe are basically fantasy world Klingons always butting heads with the Sun tribe) and would be well and truly done with his posing and preening about strength, so watching her receive such an inexhaustible well of ridicule fuel to keep him in check is a beautiful thing.
