vatheon | She's Been Sleeping with the Chocobos

Who: Selphie and anyone.
Where: Chocobo barn
When: Any time!
Style: Any!
Status: Any! I mean, open!

Selphie had been pretty quiet lately. There was that curse, and that was weird, being so tiny and so small. She went places and was completely unnoticed. There there was Valentine's Day and all of the confusion that was brought with that. And now, now Selphie is pretty exhausted. The chocobos eggs are due to burst open soon, at least they should, and Selphie's been hiding out in the chocobo barn waiting for them to hatch, to make sure everything goes okay.

Maybe you haven't seen her around in a couple of days, not at the plaza, or at her usual cafes. Maybe you've noticed that she hasn't been home lately. Or maybe you don't know who she is, you don't care, and you're just walking past the barn and feel like looking in. But there's a Selphie in there, and she's got some blankets, a small pile of books, her guitar, and a box filled with empty takeaway tea cups and empty sandwich wrappers.

Find her in the morning/early afternoon and she'll be fast asleep on the hay. Later in the day she'll be grooming the birds, maybe playing with them outside, or singing to them. At night, she'll be keeping vigil.

Whoops. Maybe he shouldn't have said that.

Hopping off his shoulder, Tempest made her way over to the eggs to get a better look at them. She wasn't much bigger than them!

Yeah, well, those chocobos have been tampered with by scientists, and Selphie wants nothing to do with them.

Selphie smiled though as she watched Tempest, and the older chocobos seemed pleased to have her around, "So cute! She'll have new friends soon!"

His chocobo that's only a couple months old is better at making friends than he is.

Squall is okay with that.

"You mean those eggs?"

Poor Squall - cute, but not cute enough. Not as cute as Tempest.

"Uh huh! All born real soon!"

Selphie smiled at the little scene around her, everyone all crowded round the nesting lady chocobos and the eggs. She withdrew slightly and give a big stretch, "Then it'll be super busy in here."

Even busier? As in, what was going on right now was low on the busy scale? Squall was starting to think that running Garden was less work than taking care of a barn full of chocobos.

"I'll take her to come see them then."

Selphie smiled and nodded before rubbing at her eyes - yeah, this was all getting a little tiring. "That'd be nice! I bet she'd really like that."

And she burst into a little fit of laughter, "It's like we're talking about your kid here!"

"She's a pet, not a child," Squall frowned. He was only being a responsible pet owner, and if he takes Tempest here to play with the other chocobo chicks, that means she won't be running around his apartment breaking things. He doesn't think of her as his kid.

But hey, at least he's not calling her an it.

Selphie smiled at him and shook her head, "I know. But you'd make a good dad, too!" Argh, but she knows she's got herself in trouble there mentioning dads, but she's only kidding and... she needs to change the subject.

"So - you feeling any better bout Vatheon yet?"

He was glad for the subject change. He did not want to discuss fathers, either his own or the possibility of him being one. Even to a chocobo.

"Yes," he replied. He actually made friends and was starting to get more comfortable in the bubble.

"Good! I guess it's better already with Rinoa here too." And she didn't even mean any kind of teasing about that, it was just genuinely nice to have familiar people around, when everyone else was coming and going.

"All the free time is kinda weird, huh?"
