Gallade is kind of laughing about how close Terra came to passing out from his own actions.

Terra clenches his teeth and lets out a grunt as his knees hit the floor, head bowed as he awaited what Anubi would do. Would they finish him off, or show them mercy like he did to them? When it was clear that no conscious erasing Move was inbound, the thoroughly bruised wander did the unexpected: he started to laugh. It was deep and booming, pleasure and satisfaction clearly evident in it as he looked up at his blue bomber, giving them a Pained but genuine and fierce smile.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! You have learned well, Anubi. Next time, I will give you only one Round to prepare! Very good fight, my friend! Ha Ha!"

He then slowly staggered to his feet, and turned to give the psychic knight the same grin he gave to his blue bomber.

"You know Heal Pulse, Gallade? Could you use one on me? Please? I like a good fight, but not so much the injuries I get from them, Ha Ha!"

For all intent and purposes, it appeared that Terra didn't mind he lost the second match against Rilou at all, and seemed happy, strangely enough! Looks like what the simple monk said only a moment ago was true: he really did like a challenging fight, no matter the outcome! Didn't hurt...well, no it did, but it helped that he knew that he managed to earn a little respect from the young jackal's , which was half the point of sparring with them to begin with.

All in all, it was a good match for Terra, through and through!

Order: Politely ask Gallade for some heals, and await Anubi's reaction to Terra's good sportsmanship / praise! I'll wait until Nathan comes back to pick up Gallade before Terra starts his Third Encounter, which will be foraging for more Berries with Michael AND Anubi this time! Might as well gather up as many nature's goodies, if I can!
