to everyone
Greetings to Summoned friends and strangers alike;
I come to you with an inquiry -- rare for me, I know. As much as I like discovering things on my full own efforts, I can admit I'm a little perplexed with the current predicament. On a recent bout of monster huntering in the desert (not on my part, of course), my companion and I came across a most peculiar specimen. These great beasts appear to be quite domesticated, and are not suited for a desert environment, what with their thick plumage and docile nature. One was caught in the midst of an absorber's hunt (which I do insist all stay away from; the monster hunter in question was very aware of how to deal with one) and injured, while the others appeared to be a mother with a chick.
Now, I have studied the Free Cities' bestiaries to the best of my ability, and have not seen mention of such birds before.
I thought saving the beasts would be all to speak of the story, but I'm afraid one has followed me back to Cadens and taken a liking to me. However, I do not have the heart to turn her away, and thus have taken to stabling her alongside a family horse. She did not appear to mind being tied or bridled. She is in fact a terribly sweet creature, and though she seems happy enough to eat the hay provided, I would be remiss if I did not attempt to find out her proper diet.
And so I ask, friends, thus: have you any knowledge of a similar creature? She is large in stature, towering over myself, and with bright golden plumage. She does not appear to be capable of flight.
[And because he's a little medieval man, there's a portrait following the letter:]

Like... giant? Giant machines? Because this chocobo is large. Extremely large. Taller than most horses.

Some of them are pretty big, yeah.

[Which must mean she's certainly not in the Free Cities, and perhaps not in the social circles he swims in.]
I don't suppose you display such machines in the Horizon, do you...? I would absolutely love to see. My world is wretchedly devoid of such... how would one say it? "Advanced technologies"?
no subject
[So, not his fault, not really.]
Are you sure? They're not friendly.

Well, it's not as if I can die in the Horizon.
