She's Been Sleeping with the Chocobos

[booyaka_boom]

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.

[With a raised eyebrow, she grabs Selphie's hand. However, she was still a little suspicious about this ordeal]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie helps her up onto the bird, who stands perfectly still, waiting for her to settle comfortably on her back*

Alright?

[ashihara]

[She nodded]

Yes, at least, I hope so?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie lifts the reins and offers them to her*

Hold onto these carefully, and keep your feet in the stirrups. Then we'll get Rinoa to walk outside if you like.

[As she does so, she was little surprised by the sudden movement from the chocobo. It felt a little weird. Normally, these kind of animals would be used for livestock back home and never like this. Still, it was kind of fun to be this high up. Now if it didn't look like she was panicking a bit...]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles reassuringly*

I'm gonna keep a hold of her, just so you know that she's not gonna go running off anywhere. You ready to head outside?

*She turns, and slowly marches the bird out to the large enclosure*

[ashihara]

Yes, I believe so.

[Why does Chitose have a feeling this isn't going to end so well? Oh boy...]

[booyaka_boom]

*And soon they were out in the open, where other chocobos were walking or even running around, but Rinoa the Chocobo keeps up a steady pace*

How's that? Okay?

[ashihara]

Yes, I believe so, this seems to be fine.

[Hopefully] This...chocobo won't go faster than it should right?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles up at the girl and raises a brow*

Not unless you want it to?

[ashihara]

Hm...perhaps not.

[And not to fall out kthxbai]

[booyaka_boom]

Y'know, you're welcome to come hang out here any time you like.

*She smiles up at her, still walking alongside at a slow pace*

[ashihara]

[There was still some hesitation but she tries to smile back]

I might come back...depending if I am able to come back.

[booyaka_boom]

If you're able? Why wouldn't you be?

*Selphie pauses the walking bird*

[ashihara]

[Pause]

Simply because I am not use to riding any kind of animal...much less a bird like this.

[booyaka_boom]

Well, you're always more than welcome to come and try, even when I'm not here. Even if you just wanna chat to them, get used to them.

[ashihara]

[And she raised an eyebrow]

And they understand what you mean?

[booyaka_boom]

Hmm...I think so. Seems like it, anyway.

[ashihara]

It still seems rather odd to me.
