005 - [Video]

[Tifa appears on the video, looking pretty relaxed. With the lack of insanity lately, she's had time to sort a few things out.]

All the animals running around the other day reminded me -- I heard we have some chocobos here in Vatheon.

Is there anyone who wouldn't mind letting me ride theirs from time to time? It's something I really enjoyed back home. The weather's not bad for it right now either.

I have one! His name is Asi, I bet he'd let you ride him. [See Link. See Link in the garden. See Link in the garden with a green chocobo peering over his shoulder.]

And I used to see a lot in the forest, too.

[Tifa spares a look and a smile for that curious chocobo before addressing Link.]

It sounds like there are a lot more of them here than I thought.

Uh huh! This guy called Lea had a whole lot of them, and when he went home, most of them went to the forest. But I had already met Asi, so I took him with me.

[Asi butts his beak against the side of Link's head affectionately, and Link smiles.]

He certainly seems to like you.

He's a really good friend! And I've had him for months now.

[Longer than he had Epona for, come to think of it. Hmm.]

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't get in the way of that.

Oh - you can ride him if you want! [He smiles, hopefully encouragingly.] Or, I can show you where they stay in the forest so you can make friends with one yourself!

I think that could be fun.

Yeah! Do you want to go now? I'm not really doing anything. Or we can go later.

I'm up for it. Best not to put it off anyway.

[No telling when things will get crazy again.]

Uh huh! Do you want to meet at the coral or at the forest?

Why don't we meet just outside the forest?

Okay! It shouldn't take me too long, and I'll be with Asi so you'll be able to find me.

All right. See you in a bit.

[Link will probably arrive first, but Tifa does her best not to keep him waiting, arriving as promptly as she can with a friendly smile.]

[He only has to wait for a couple of minutes before Tifa arrives, and Link waves from where he's resting against a tree, getting to his feet.]

Hi! I didn't ask your name before - I'm Link. And this is Asi!

"Kweh!"

It's Tifa. It's nice to meet you, Link.

And you, Asi.

[Asi preens a little at the acknowledgment, and Link gives him a quick pat.] It's nice to meet you too! Did you have Chocobos in your world?

[With a gesture in the direction of the path into the forest, Link starts off that way, keeping the pace slow.]

[Tifa moves to walk alongside him as she answers.]

Mmhmm. Green ones were rare, though. I only ever saw them at the races.

[Link nods in confirmation of that.] Asi was the only green one Lea had. I haven't seen any others - does your world have horses?

[Racing a chocobo is definitely an interesting alternative to racing a horse.]

[She shakes her head.]

Maybe it did, once. I'd only heard about them in myths before.

Are horses what people ride in your world?

Uh huh. I had one called Epona. [He smiles nostalgically.] It'd be nice if she came here. I think Asi would like her.

Well, I've seen a few dogs here from other worlds. I guess it's possible.

Uh huh! ...Although, horses are a lot bigger than dogs. I saw them in Castle Town and they were only this big. [He holds his hands about a foot apart.]

Plenty of dogs get bigger than that, but I've seen a few horses here and you're right, they don't really compare.

Uh huh. So I guess it's not impossible that Epona might come here, right? [...And then he pets Asi comfortingly, just in case the Chocobo feels slighted.]
