By Azura, by Azura, by Azura! It's the Grand Champion! I can't believe it's you! Standing here! Next to me!

What it means

Our interpretation.

Fame arrives as someone who cannot stop telling you that you are famous. His breathless repetition turns a heroic reward into awkward company. The enthusiasm is funny because it is sincere: nothing extraordinary needs to happen beyond his standing beside his idol.
