Huh.

[It's a little difficult to record like this since he doesn't exactly have any opposable thumbs right now, but Axel still manages easily enough by punching in the right buttons... with his beak.]

There. Geez...

[Shortly after a face appears in front of the screen... and it appears to be very much bird-like. Another peck before the large bird scoots away, wings spread and tail fanned out awkwardly as he tries his best not to accidentally step on it.]

Well, at least this time around I can actually talk.

[Being a cheetah had been cool for a while, sure, but there's something about this change which excites Axel even more. Puffing up his feathers, he seems to grin at the communicator before he struts and turns a bit to try and get a better look at his tail feathers. Ooh.]

A bit flashy... but I think I can get behind this just fine. I--

[Suddenly as he opens his beak a jet of hot fire leaves his mouth. Startled, Axel scrambles back, falling over so ungracefully onto his back.]

--Ow!

[Roxas shoots him a glare accompanied by an indignant wark. No, it doesn't really, but do you have to tease him about his unfortunate food choices?

I mean, their kids are eating this stuff too some of the time.]

[Snort

Axel flaps his wings then flies over until he's landed on Roxas' back.]

Why don't we just go pick up some bread or something once the kids are done frolicking around here, huh?

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas tilts his head, considering. Bread would work, right?

He gives an affirmative wark, glances over his shoulder, and then saunters on over to where the kids are to watch them mess around.]

[Axel settles comfortably on Roxas' back as they make their way over to the pond where the little ones are. My, my, bestie. What awfully puffy feathers you have.]

I could get used to riding you around all day.

[Nothing funny about that.]

[If chocobos could blush...

Actually the double entendre doesn't occur to Roxas. He warks again and shuffles his wings a bit. Is that supposed to be a compliment or are you just that lazy?]

[A bit of both.]

What? It's convenient! Don't get your feathers all in a ruffle.

[coolerthansora]

[He makes a little chortling noise. You are so lazy, bestie.

And I hope you like company, because the chocobos have noticed their parents are watching, and at least one of them looks interested in immitating mommy. They probably miss getting rides.]

[Axel flaps his wings as he peers down at their babies. Aw, look at them, Roxas. Look at what you and I have raised.]

See? And you can hold all of us without getting flattened.
