the one year anniversary is a perfect excuse to wrestle chocobos
[The video feeds turns on just in time to catch a loud crash and for the camera to be completely covered in black material. Then the darkness lifts, showing a view of a backyard, complete with a splintered, broken wooden fence and Equius, stalking a blue chocobo.]
[Does anyone remember when Darkleer was a chick and was small enough to ride around on Equius' shoulder? Those days are long past, and it's an almost fully grown, towering feathery asshole that is ducking and weaving, all while warking joyously, as Equius chases him around the yard with a saddle.]
Aha, you think I'll give up that easily? You're wearing this saddle whether you like it or not!
[Equius lunges, Darkleer kicks him in the chest, Equius flies backwards and crashes into the fence, sending more splinters into the air. It's hard to tell who is having a better time here.]
[OOC: it's my Vatheon one year anniversary today! Thank you, everyone, for a year's worth of amazing RP!]

All right. Well, 'whoa' is usually stop then. 'Easy' to slow down. And then general commands like canter, trot, walk depending on how you want them to move once you're riding. Often riders have other terms as well, like bow, foot, hya, and point, too.

[Equius is realistic, he knows his pet.]
[He digs around in his sylladex for a moment, and finds some chocobo greens. Darkleer's eyes brighten, but he stays sitting down.]
Darkleer, stay!
[Equius holds the greens at his side and starts walking backwards, maintaining eye contact with the bird.]

[The chocobo starts to stand up, and Equius holds his hand up higher.]
Darkleer, no! Stay!

[Darkleer holds the stay command for another few moments, his tail high and waggling in the air, long enough for Equius to take three more steps backwards. Then the bird can't do it anymore and explodes out of the command, rushing the troll and skidding to a halt beside him.]
[Equius reaches out and taps Darkleer's beak to get his attention, then gives him one of the greens, keeping the others in his hand.]
Was that right, Summoner?

Thanks for your help, Summoner. Can I contact you if I have any more questions?

Nice to see you again, Darkleer.
