SEVEN ✻ NETWORK

did you guys know that chocobos have been hatching this month??
they're only the most adorable thing i've ever witnessed
(it happens every year prompto grow up LISTEN I KNOW THAT)

look at this cute bastard: 3rr_Jlo.mp4

now here's a story
it's a bit of a tear jerker so you've been ~*warned*~
one of the mama chocobo at the petting zoo was pretty sick and
after she laid a single egg she had to be put down
we tried putting the egg in the other nests but it wouldn't fly with the other chocobo
instead we made our own nest and put lights to it to keep it warm

i don't know if it was the artificial warming up or what
but when this egg hatched it's the tiniest chicobo i've seen in my life

and i love it so much

here's a pic of us being the best of friends: 434_4Jt.png

he's not getting on too well with the rest of the chicks and
okay i'm gonna sound like a paranoid parent but
is he getting bullied???
every time i go by the pen he just jumps to my shoulder and hides
in my clothes or just hangs out on my head (go ahead make your jokes)
when my shift is over he gives me the saddest chirp kweh wark ever

so TL;DR what does a chocobo need to be happy and what does it need
when it's just a wee chick i'm not saying i'm keeping him but maybe i am
lalliho: (but what if you didn't instead)

would he fit?
lalliho: (oh i forgot i was fired)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-15 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
the hole isn't THAT big though...

[is it...]

lalliho: (i want to be where the people aren't)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-15 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
give me a minute

[But...! Soon enough, one of the secret wall knock messages rings out. He's chosen what they whimsically decided was "hey what's up?"]
lalliho: (i just figured out blue's clues)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-15 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Woah!! Hi baby bird.]

It's tiny!

[because the picture didn't already convey that enough??? okay Lalli.]

It won't get its feathers caught on anything?
lalliho: (i don't know what that means)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-16 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ah!!! Lalli was already reaching out, so catching new bird friend isn't too hard, even if he fumbles awkwardly with him. How do you even hold a bird...]

Chocobo hole...

[His voice is...vaguely filled with awe? This is going to be a problem when the runt isn't so tiny and still wants to visit him, which is probably wishful thinking, but let him dream, depression!!!]

...Have you been thinking about names?
lalliho: (i'm a fairy)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-16 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[SCREAM... Lalli's face very obviously heats up at that and he's grateful he already had his eyes glued to the chocobo chick so he doesn't have to pointedly Not Look At Prompto, the beautiful sunshine boy who is shining brighter because of his pure smile, all of a sudden. Just...murder him...]

...Nn.

[He's delighted...and overwhelmed...]
lalliho: (make way for the childlike empress)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-16 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[so the bird is more like Lalli than Prompto. Prompto has a brother and plenty of found family members. Lalli was all alone in this world...except for being taken under this blonde idiot's wing.

He's sure little chocobo chick will be happy with that.]


Keep guilting me and maybe I'll never give him back.
lalliho: (everything will be okay)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-20 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums softly, not taking his eyes off Baby Chick even as his fingers itch to do a responding tap.]

Yes. Ah -- I saw I don't have to be careful about the school stuff anymore. He took it well. How do you feel?
lalliho: (fuck i can't read a map)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-20 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He actually meant Cloud, but this is good information, too, and he can readjust his brain to follow it.]

Yeah. I don't think you could have done that for long. You'd break up all from the inside.
lalliho: (let him rest)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-22 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[As a general rule, if he's in his room and he hears Noctis, he Leaves Immediately.]

Oh.

[...He doesn't really want to, but there's no reason other than that to not do as he's asked, so back the chocobo goes through the hole. Prompto's desires were far more important than his own.]

Here. You should name him soon.
lalliho: (sighs deeply)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-22 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know a lot about babies. They're kind of a pain.

[says the idiot sounding wistfully disappointed about no longer having a baby to hold.]

I think that's a thing. But if I watch him while you work, it should get better. I felt better about Grandma watching me while my parents were shopping and stuff, after a while.
lalliho: (talking is stupid let's not)

[personal profile] lalliho 2018-04-22 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mhm.

[He shifts, laying against the wall with a dull clunk instead.]

...Th...ank you. [UH] I don't really know what for. Lots of stuff, I guess, it just felt right.
