So yeah, turns out Myde was pregnant.

[Way to open up a feed, Lea. But he's grinning into the camera, hair tied back and in a too large t-shirt and pants. He's also covered in soft downy feathers of all sorts of colors; it isn't easy calming down the flock when they're so excitable. As he adjusts the camera, it's obvious he's near some rather simple looking stables. Anyone who's worked or visited the Phoenix Nest would recognize them as being behind there.]

[When he's done fiddling with the view, the camera is focused on a group of Chocobos. There's Myde, one of the adults and a beautiful soft brown with specks of white on her chest, looking tired but calmly pleased. Hovering near her is Alex, a bright red who couldn't look more proud as he nuzzles Myde.]

[And around them?]

Yep, looks like the second generation of Vatheon-born Chocochicks are here! Heh, aren't they adorable? And new colors, too, look!

[Lea looks just as proud as Alex as he sits down amongst the chirping, energetic chicks. There are seven in all, and they happily flop and flutter onto the teen. There are a few very pale gray chicks, and another couple which are a much darker shade, a strange kind of lavender-gray. There are a pair of soft colored yellows and one lone red. Lea handles all of them carefully and with utter adoration.]

I'll cut everyone the same deal Stein did whenever his chocobos laid eggs. If you think you can give one of these sweethearts a good home, and you can tell me so, I'll let you keep one. Myde and Alex won't mind.

Mistreat them and I will wreck your life.

[He says it with a cheery grin that is 100% brutal honesty.]

((ooc: Yep! Lea is giving away chocobo chicks. Just have your character comment and Lea will talk it out. I'll keep track of who has which chick here in the ooc.

2 yellow: Demyx, Squall Leonhart
3 white : Motochika, Aradia Megido
2 black : Jacob
1 red : Dave Strider))

[Oh wow. Chicobos. It's been a while since Squall has seen those. Reminds him of home.]

Nice Chicobos.

...You know, that almost sounds like a pick-up line.

[Sorry, Squall, he actually acts his age. Just going to snicker a moment before grinning.]

But thanks! They hatched this morning and they're all healthy!

[Wait. What. NO. How does that even...kids. B| Never mind that he's only a few years older than you.]

Good to hear. Will you keep the ones that don't get adopted?

Yep! They need somewhere to stay, after all.

Why, were you lookin' to adopt one?

[Hey, he didn't say anything about that!

...okay he's not entirely opposed to the idea of having one.]

Only if nobody else wants them.

[What, you mean there are people who don't want birds in their lives? Lea is confused and shocked!]

Well, now that you mention it, yellows tend to get left behind in the dust...

[They are called responsible people who don't want or aren't able to properly care for one.]

They look more exotic. I guess.

Prrrrobably. But yellows are dependable, y'know? Nice and sturdy!

Where you livin' at, Mysterious Stranger?

Yeah, I know. Good work ethic.

At Viscus Apartments. Why?

Work ethic? Jeez, you sound like an old man.

Huh... Askin' because Chocobos need a lot of room. You know how big they get. Apartments're fine for a bit while they're still growing, but that won't do forever.

[You'd sound like an old man too if you had to do the things he does.]

I have a friend that works on the Chocobo farm. She'd probably be thrilled to find space for another one. Especially if I asked her to.

[He's kind of impressed that you think that far ahead, Lea. You don't look like the type.]

[Lea is both occasionally incredibly dumb and pretty smart. That tends to confuse people sometimes. But if there is one thing he is serious about, it is pet care.]

Ooooh, let me guess. Selphie?

Yeah. We come from the same world.

Yeah? That's great! She hasn't had anyone from her world in ages!

[Topic has now changed to Selphie]

I heard that she'd been here about a year without any of us.

[And out of all possible friends, she gets Squall. The one who might as well be allergic too fun.]

At least she's made plenty of other friends! She's a fun girl, so it's easy for her. Still, nothing quite like home, right?

Right. I'm sure she misses it a lot.

[He is pretty worried about her, though.]

Well, there's no denyin' that I think everyone misses at least some part of home. That's just how it is.

But now you're here, so that should help some of it. Right?
