to everyone— (pre-fissure)

[spikyheaded]

[He's tried it once before, but conversation had been quick. Doing it to everyone... Well, he's still trying to wrap his head around the whole thing so it takes him a minute to figure this all out.]

A couple of weeks ago, me and a few others found a pack of large birds roaming around the woods. They're called chocobo back in our world. They're usually used as mounts, racing, or transport. We were able to wrangle a few of them and have been keeping them at one of the stables at the First Settlement.

The ones there have been tamed so if you need to get around the settlements, we can hook you up with a ride once we get a cart for them. Can also help if you want to learn how to ride or race one.

They're a lot smarter than they look. So if they show up outside Solvunn and you plan on catching one, I might be able to give you some tips. Tifa and Yuffie might be able to help if they want to.

If you're from Solvunn, you can find me at the inn or by the stables. Just don't mind the goat.

YOU TEACH RIDE?

[spikyheaded]

[Well, someone seems eager.]

I did offer, didn't I? I can meet you for lessons over by the stables.

OK I GO

[ he coming NOW ]

action??? HAHA

[spikyheaded]

Hey, wait! I didn't mean—

[Cloud isn't even there right now! And he's not even sure if he'll be able to get whoever's attention was at the other end if they're heading to the stables now. As soon as he sees that, he takes off towards the stables, hoping to make it before whoever it was on the other end. It might be a bit, considering he's coming from the Ed's inn.]

[ Nanaue does in fact arrive first. And the scene Cloud will come upon at the stables will involve a 7ft tall manshark, a bipedel baby seal, and a cacophony of terrified noises coming from the riding birds within. ]

NO SCARE BIRDS! ME FRIEND!

[ Cloud will likely hear what's happening long before he sees it, considering Nanaue is trying to shout over the birds.

A half dozen fish with feet scamper around too, adding to the chaos. ]

forgive the delay

[And Cloud does hear the commotion before he arrives at the stables to see... what the heck is that even? And everything else with it? Please don't tell him this was who he was talking with a little while ago. He'll have to deal with the questions later.

The chocobos squawk and titter loudly as the sharkman shouts back at them, moving as far away as possible. A goat comes to their defense, bleating and nudging its horns towards Nanaue in an attempt to keep them away from the birds.

Hopping the fence of the clearing the stable is situated, Cloud heads straight towards Nanaue, all the while making sure that he doesn't stomp on any of the footed-fish.]

Shouting back at them isn't going to scare them any less!

[With both hands in front of him, he tries to stop Nanaue from calling out to the chocobo, looking back over at them to see how they are doing. All of them look about ready to bolt.]

[ The feety fish scatter from Cloud's path, circling around him as he stops to shout at Nanaue. The goat continues to butt the manshark in the thigh, though it isn't doing much to budge him. Nanaue huffs loudly through his nostrils in frustration, while Baby stares up at Cloud with his large, dark eyes. ]

ME NO SCARE...

[ He is... not yelling as loud now, in his defense. ]
