Day 439 - [Accidental Video]

[coolerthansora]

[The feed opens on a bathtub.

Thankfully this isn't actually Roxas taking a bath. He's wearing swimtrunks, thank you very much, and the chocobos are with him. They're getting big enough now that all three of them nesting in his hair is probably no longer a possibility, and he's taken it upon himself to teach them how to swim.

The red chick seems to want no part of this and is watching from the safety of his shoulder. Roxas has his hands just under the water, beneath the yellow chick as it flounders around, and before too long he has to scoop it up so it can take a rest. The blue one meanwhile has this down already and is swimming placidly around the tub.]

...you're really good at this, Isa.

[Saix might... actually have no words to say. So just have staring, Roxas. Blank, blank staring.]

[If he stares hard enough maybe this will all make sense. Or make Roxas feel weird enough to explain.]

[coolerthansora]

[...well, this isn't creepy at all...]

...yeah?

[croceamors]

[Still less creepy than Larxene, let's be fair.]

...Isa.

[coolerthansora]

[No, Larxene was just plain scary.]

O-oh.

Axel said- that's who it reminded him of.

[croceamors]

I see.

[If nothing else, it adds new information to a.. puzzling event that happened not too long ago. Saix will think on it later.]

Is there a particular reason you are attempting to drown small birds?

[coolerthansora]

[And Roxas has no idea what Saix actually thinks of the name, but there's definitely something going on in that head.]

I'm not- drowning them, I'm trying to make sure they know how to swim, so they don't drown.

[croceamors]

You seem to be failing. Badly.

[coolerthansora]

Hey. They just started learning.

[croceamors]

How long have you had them?

[coolerthansora]

...since April?

[croceamors]

And you've only started now to teach them how to swim in an underwater city that's already been apparently prone to leaking?

[coolerthansora]

And I guess you're an expert on teaching birds to swim.

[croceamors]

I would have started much sooner instead of just now.

[coolerthansora]

Well, they're learning now.

[croceamors]

Yes, I noticed.

[coolerthansora]

So you can stop acting like I'm doing a bad job. We've been taking good care of them.

[croceamors]

They're not yet dead. Congratulations.

I would say the label of 'good' care, however, is debatable.

[coolerthansora]

They like us and they seem happy most of the time. We must be doing something right.

[croceamors]

Being happy doesn't mean it's being cared for. Even I can recall that.

[coolerthansora]

I think they're pretty related, for babies.

[croceamors]

Hmm.

[The sound of someone who doesn't believe that, but won't waste his time on the subject anymore.]

Do better not to put drivel like this on the network again. [Since this obviously wasn't intentional and all.]

[coolerthansora]

You're the one who replied to 'drivel.'

[croceamors]

That is my name you are using. That's the only reason.

[coolerthansora]

It's not your name anymore.

[croceamors]

It's not yours to use regardless.
