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))

[Shit names can mean so many things, he can pretend he meant they are the shit or something. Except Dave is too busy thinking about what to name the red one if he does take it home.]

Huh. Suddenly that one makes more sense. I can't imagine you naming something 'Pounce.'

[Darkleer brofist???]

...I don't know.

[Oh. Okay then. As long as Dave acknowledges that Darkleer is an awesome name for an awesome bird.]

I'm sure you'll think of something. Once you get to know the bird, his name will seem more obvious. And once you've got him settled, you should bring him over to play with Dar-- ... Pounce.

[Because even Equius knows that letting Darkleer play with the chick would be a disaster. And notice how he's already talking like the chick is yours, Dave? This is because he recognizes someone in the throes of chocobo fever, having suffered from it himself.]

Wait. Dude, hold it. I don't even know if I'm actually keeping the damned thing. Don't go jumping the gun like that.

It's like you're expecting me to keep him.

Aren't you?

Dude, I don't know. I'm still thinking about it.

[He will lose and fall for the itty red birdy.]

You totally will.

[Heck, Equius was going over to apologize to Stein for building a squatter's shack on his property when he ended up with Darkleer.]

Sounds like peer pressure. I wonder if I should be as stubborn as fucking possible.

[And usually he would. But this was over a baby bird and not...like something more trivial.]

It's not peer pressure. I'm just telling you what is going to end up happening.

[He understands the appeal of those cute little devils, okay?]

I don't know. We'll see what happens.

[As in, he will lose and own one adorable, red chocobo.]

I guess we will.

Call me when you're ready for your chocobo to have a playdate, okay?
