Ummm... [There was a sound of things getting knocked over and the sound of animals moving about, making their usual noise. It sounded like chaos whatever was going on.]
Question... Does one know how to stop a goat from eating all the food? I've tried taking it off them, but they then eat something else and I've lost a good skirt that way already. I'm kind of running out of options.
[Another loud crash as Lenalee had gone to move.]
Please, let go of that. It might seem tasty, but we need it to last a while longer. [Crashes, stern words being told and bahing were all one could hear for at least two minute before she returned.]
The goat is trying to hit my hair. If it keeps trying to eat everything, I cannot say it will be staying in one piece, so please someone come take him away. [So close to getting angry enough that the goat will be getting kicked off the boat. If that it literally or not is another question.]

Do you think maybe he's not getting enough to eat at mealtimes? Maybe you could stop on an island somewhere and let him munch on grass for a while. Or maybe keep him somewhere where there isn't anything he can possibly chew on. Like in an empty room or a crate or a corner of the deck or something...?
[Voice]
We feed him at least three times a day like the other animals. So I can't see how he's hungry, but I guess he might not be getting the right amount of nutrients he is suppose to be getting, maybe.
I guess taking him off the ship will help. It was a good suggestion, thanks.
[Voice]
Oh, sure! And well, it sounds like you're feeding him plenty. Maybe he's bored.
[Voice]
Bored... What would goats do to not be bored?
[Voice]
Well... [Asbel taps his foot, considering. He's by no means a critter expert, but he can at least try to answer.]
Uh. You could paint him up and train him to be the ship's mascot or something? Since he likes to eat, I bet he'd be good at picking fresh food whenever you guys reach port. Or maybe what he needs is some other goat friends.
[Voice]
[She pauses for a moment.]
I guess keeping his interest might stop him from eating.
[Voice]
It's worth a shot. Sometimes you get hungry when there's nothing else to do, you know? If you keep his mind off being bored, he might not want to eat as much.
[Voice]
[She never thought of it like that honestly.]
But what can goats do to keep their interest?
[Voice]
Uh. I... [...] I dunno! Why don't you try asking him?
[Voice]
[You'll have to explain how one can actually ask a goat.]

Then again, some of the animals in his hometown love giving the player controller tips.][Voice]
Okay, I'll give it a go. Thank you for the advice.
