1st Entry

[Short and hurried scribbles, but it's a message in the journal anyway.]

I thought I saw tracks a while ago and I was right! Guys, there are chocobos here!

Be back in a bit, I'm going to get some greens!

Comments

[tantailizing]

Haha, good! That's kinda what I was going for!

[Someone else might say otherwise, but too late! Name's got approval!]

They are! Great at running, jumping, and a little fluttering, but they really can't fly like this. [Meanwhile, a blink.] Uh, you could, but let's maybe not talk about that in front of Boco.

[Because the chocobo's now a little fluffed up. It understands some things apparently.]

[piromare]

( you bet his eyes will go right to those feathers that sort of stiffen in response to his question... he knows how that sensation feels. very similar to a cat bristling, a bird can certainly make their discomfort visibly seen if they have to. and if this chocobo is smart, and it seems to be?

well. he doesn't want to rile it up. )

Yeah, yeah. ( a moment, then: ) Sorry.

( he gives the bird a few pats on its side. )

So about those greens... still looking for them?

[tantailizing]

[It appears Boco appreciates the apology and his feathers settle down with a wary chirp. But don't mind if he's going to nip slightly at Lio's hair while he's being pet - just returning the pet kind of.]

[Zidane shakes his head.]

No, I managed to find them. That means I should be able to grow some near my treehouse.

[piromare]

Oh... huh. Okay.

( the gentle pecking at his hair does distract him for a moment, making him flinch, but not in a defensive or retaliatory way. )

Seems like you'd have to grow a lot just to feed Boco. If you want, I could maybe plant some around my own home.

[tantailizing]

[He shakes his head.]

Gysahl greens are a chocobo's favorite food, but he can eat other vegetables. Besides, if you grow some around your house, you might find a few chocobo rooting around your planter.

[piromare]

Is that a bad thing?

( boco seems pretty nice, for a bird that could probably stomp him flat if he wanted to. )

I wouldn't mind being able to ride one around here if I have to.

[tantailizing]

Ah haha! No, it's not!

[Hah, he knew people would like chocobos.]

It'll take some befriending, but I'm sure you will!

[piromare]

( having his own... it would be convenient to have a kind of companion like that. something that sort of reminds him of his former life. )

Then maybe I'll do that.

( but also: )

I'm Lio. Thanks for showing me your chocobo.

[tantailizing]

Well, if you have trouble, just contact me.

[He's tamed plenty before he'll have Lio know... only not.]

I'm Zidane, and no problem. Boco's a curious chocobo; he'll probably get along with everyone here.

can probably wrap this one up if you're ok with it!

[piromare]

I will. ( he's not afraid to ask for help nowadays. maybe he wouldn't have done that in the past, but... )

( lio laughs to himself. )

If you and him are always friendly like this, I can believe that.

totally!

[tantailizing]

[He nods, pretty good with that answer.]

Oh yeah, I don't think that'll be changing.
