Seph grinned pointing at Alpha and Barbaros "Those two have been talking about converting all the storage rooms for the past few minutes. Besides I don't think Boco or Chobi are quite ready to get the comfy, they might just stay good pals" she pointed out cuddling Itaka.
Hebal gasped noticing Sophia's expression "Hey don't be like that little lady, you can play phoenix with us too" she chirped picking the tonberry up placing her arms around her waist then jumped once around the tree tops "Look now nobody is left out!"
Alpha shudderd not liking the thought of Barbaros trying to work out the combination "Oh really? I could always add a few extra digits to the lock if I catch you trying anything. You could just ask if you wanted a drink alternatively but I don't like folk snooping around"
Yiro yawned flicking the soil behind her with her fingers "It's quicker to use your hands because shovels are heavy plus I am not afraid to get my hands dirty" she reassured him ignoring the dirt on her arms. Yawi rolled her eyes taking the second shovel to assist Zadina "Suit yourself but the dirt is going to make you smell a bit. Plus fur takes ages and ages to clean"

Felina shook her head giggling a little also saluting Cid back "Nah I didn't have any friends inside the palace which is why I wanted to go outside it partly. I saw shizuka once a week but apart from that it was just the family and the servents to keep me company and the chocobos when I got a little older."
Satoshi nodded deciding it would be funny to lick Enkidu back "Yeah gotta look like your walking normally. If you have to overtake them stop and tie your shoelace or get a drink of water. Only hide if the person your following is going somewhere only a few people would think of going like in the back of an alleyway or through someone elses garden" she grinned.
Hayate smiled hanging his hat up on the top of a branch "Ok fair does but if you change your mind just let me know about it. What sort of food does Boco like to eat other than greens? I was just wondering since in about a years time I have a chocobo egg back home thats going to hatch"
Yenytai grinned leaning over Hebal to pat Sophia on the head "Your a flying tonberry bird now isn't it fun!" she told her searching around for Ivy "Huh where did pixie chick go? Yenytai wants to play with her too" she wondered. Milly glared at Sophia for a moment before turning away prentending not to be afraid of her.

Oassu sighed snuggling Felina "Thats a bit of a shame really but I never had that many friends either so don't sweat it I turned out alright" he reassured her.
Gil smiled patting Satoshi "What would you do in a situation like that, you seem to have this stalking thing down to a fine art" he said.
Jenna frowned "Oh well Chocobo's will attempt to eat almost anything but you don't want to give them anything too solid, they don't have teeth you see but some veggies will do fine and meat provided it's not on the bone but you don't wanna feed a newborn much, they don't have big stomachs." she said.
Ivy buzzed a few feet away from Yenytai hiding angrily in the tree above her glaring at the nymph while Sophia made happy noises waving her tiny arms as Hebal swung her around.
Itaka smiled looking down ad Seph cuddling him "Sure they aren't yet but maybe one day, the egg would be very valuable and the chicobo would be powerful too." he said.
Mari giggled "I don't know where she's went, I'll call her back soon" she said swishing Milly around "Don't you be scared of Sophia Milly, she's just a baby tonberry she doesn't even have a knife yet" she reassured the pot.
Barbaros scratched his chin "Well what kind of drinks do you keep in there anyway?" he asked "Anything good?"
Zadina smiled "Sure it works until you come to a big rock then you just hurt your hand but can you please climb out? We can't dig with shovels while your in there in case we hit you" he said wiping some of the dirt Yiro was flicking off of him.

Seph sighed putting her hand in front of her face shielding her eyes from the sun "Yeah maybe one day, though she might lay multiple eggs. I would like to keep one just os you know, I always wanted to be able to look after a chocobo" she told him lightly headbutting him.
Hebal frowned at Ivy wiggling her ear as a way of offering the sprite somewhere to sit "Don't be mad Ivy Yenytai didn't mean it plus we are all haing so much fun" she told her jumping down next to Mari "You know we should really get a moe on to unicorn cae soon" she sighed.
Alpha hesitated before sticking his tongue out at Barbaros "I am not telling you whats inside. You might hear something you like and become more determined to break into the storage room" he answered jokingly pulling out a bottle of sake "We still have pleanty of this stuff"
Yiro sighed moving out of Zadina's way "Okay okay you two can do the digging but my hands and claws are easily strong enough to be ok if I found a rock" she complained. Yawi giggled moving in with her shovel "Aww don't be like that If we find some treasure while we dig we'll give some to you even if your not using the shovel won't we Zadina."

Felina smiled at Oassu nodding her head at him "Don't you worry I know all too well that you turned out just swell. But you know it was really really lonely for me, enough to drive anyone crazy. Don't get me wrong I love my family to pieces but sometimes you just need company from other people" she tried to explain.
Satoshi smiled Well if someone was in an alley where nobody else would go I would hide on the rooftop or in a wall but I guess that isn't really an option for you. Sometimes its better to let the target go and catch up with them later. You have to weigh up how important it is to remain hidden" she lectured him.
Yenytai frowned glancing up at Ivy "Aww Yenytai sorry about shaking Ivee jar. Pwease come play with us" she apologised hanging her head a little in shame. Milly reached out towards Sophia cautiously patting her head with her tiny arm, prepared to hide at any time of a knife were produced.
Hayate slowly nodded his head writing down one or two notes on a piece of paper based on Jenna's answer "Ok I got that, so what sort of meals should I be allowing a newborn to have and what about portions and amount of meals a day to give them?"

Oassu nodded "Yeah still you'd have gotten to play with Zadina too I imagine he'd have been little more than a baby when you were a kid" he laughed thinking about it.
Gil smiled "You think? I'd think the target was the most important thing overall but ah well it's not my duty to stalk people I don't need to worry about it still thanks for the lesson." he said petting Enkidu
Ivy frowned unsure of Yenytai but after a scolding look from Mari she flew down to Yenytai and gave her a gentle hug and a kiss as a way of saying sorry.
Mari smiled watching Sophia look at Milly curiously before offering her bottle and teddybear to Milly "That means she likes you, it's not often she gives someone her teddybear Milly" she said.
Jenna shrugged "A baby should need about 3 small meals a day, Gyashl Greens work at any age but ensure they are thoroughly cut up and don't give them more than one and a halve greens per meal. Thats the same with other vegetables chop them up thoroughly and only small amounts again also they can have some meat if its very soft, you can make it soft by soaking it in gravy as much as possible it just disintigrates essentially which the chicobo's love" she chuckled.
Itaka laughed as Seph headbutted him "Now sure she might and we can keep one for ourselves sure, otherwise you'll be able to raise one at my farm later on" he reassured her.
Barbaros waved a hand "I'm not a fan of that stuff not to my tastes I prefer and old fashioned whisky or lager" he said "Simple thing nothing fancy you know" he stated.
Zadina giggled "Won't your mum give you in trouble for getting your uniform dirty but sure we'll share any treasure we find with you you helped quite a lot with this hole" he told her.

Seph grinned giving Itaka a second headbutt "You know I have been wondering, have you ever managed the farm by yourself or did you hire loads of people to help you with it. No offence but I can't really picture you doing farm work such as collecting up eggs and mucking out the stables" she laughed.
Hebal nodded bouncing on the spot for a moment waiting to see if Milly would accept the teddybear or bottle from Milly "Yaya everyone is kissing and making up, that makes things way much better" she cheered playing with her wars "Look at you Ivy you've conquered your magic pot fear already!"
Alpha pulled a small face in disgust at the mention of lager "We have some whisky down their but it's only a few years old. I can't say I particulaly like lagar much. Theres a little bit of everything down there still because I don't know everyones preferences."
Yiro shook her head "Nah we won't get in huge trouble, mum will make us clean it but she won't fly off the handle" she told Zadina thinking back to the last time she came home with a dirty uniform. Yawi sighed pulling out a bone that had been sitting in the whole "Only junk so far, we have spare uniforms. 5 sets each so it wouldn't be the end of the world if ones dirty"

Satoshi shrugged stroking Gil's chin "Yeah the target is important but sometimes it doesn't matter if you are forced to confront the target. On the other hand there are also times when it's mission over if discovered. If you leave the target be you can usually catch up with them quite fast and start stalking again. At least with me around you will be able to tell if you have a stalker fan" she teased.
Felina smiled thinking of Zadina as a kid "Yeah, I remember when Zadina was born. That was about when I was the equivelent of a 10 year old human. I got to play with Kurgan a little but he was more friendly with Elithana than I was with him. They always liked to train together when not having to babysit me or Corella"
Hayate nodded making another note about feeding chicobos "I never thought they would like gravy that much but what do I know. I sort of guessed that they would only eat small amounts of stuff. They would choke on their food otherwise"
Milly sniffed the bottle cautiously then took it from Sophia to have a small drink of the contents then handed it back. Yenytai smiled at Ivy gently hugging her with her fist "Ivee cute little pixie wixie" she complimented her opening her hand out again allowing her to fly away if she wanted to.

Gil smiled "Sure but they'd have to be a rich stalker to keep up with me the amount I get about the place" he chuckled "Still I know what to watch out for now" he said stroking Satoshi.
"I guess thats why you and Corella are so close then" Oassu said "Since she was the one you played with most but what was baby Zadina like?" he asked.
Jenna nodded "The gravy isn't important because it tastes good its important because it makes the meat really soft and tender so it breaks up easily for the chicobo's" she said.
Mari smiled looking at Sophia nodded approvingly as Milly had a drink "See now Sophia is a nice little tonberry" she told Milly "I'm not teaching her to hate people only to love people" she reassured the creature.
Ivy nodded approvingly at Yenytai flying above her and settling down on her head to make pretty shapes in Yenytai's hair giving uncertain glances at Milly.
Itaka scratched his chin in thought "I have to hire people since I'm away so much but yea I could help out if I wanted sure, I'm no afraid to get my hands dirty but if you want it to be our own little retreat it'll need to be just us on the farm doing the work" he chuckled.
Barbaros chuckled "Maybe you should ask sometime but what you do need is some juice or something, Zadina has to drink too you know besides theres nothing wrong with a good glass of apple juice." he said fantasizing about an ice cold glass of apple juice.
Zadina gasped "Five each? Thats a lot I would just keep one and a spare and wash them accordingly" he frowned "but your mum is nice then my mum would've been really mad if she caught me so dirty" he giggled.

Seph smiled stroking Itaka's chin "Yeah I know about that and it would be quite nice to retreat to your farm one day and I don't mind having to do most of the work myself since I have done it all before when I was a teenager. What sort of location is the farm in, is it in the middle of nowhere or more like 10miles from a town or by a railway etc?"
Alpha chuckled glancing up at the apples hanging in the trees "If you want an apple juice that bad theres pleanty fruit to make it with. I did consider drinks for Zadina ages ago which is why we have juice in there too. Mind you the only flavours currently down there are, strawberry, orange, apple and black current, lemon and lime, pinapple and passion fruit"
Hebal nodded her head dancing around Mari "Yeah Sophia knows no hatred especially at her age. All she knows is the wonders of peace and love! Oh and pretty flowers" she added to Milly giggling at Ivy's behaviour "Your making Yenytai's hair look really pretty"
Yiro raised her eyebrow curiously at Zadina "Oh really? Would she give you a really mean punishment? I guess noblemen have to keep up public appearences and make a good impression on everyone" she concluded. Yawi frowned a little surprised by what Zadina said "We live in a forest so it's only natural we get dirty. We have a uniform for each day of the school week and we dont get inbto trouble so long as we don't dirty our best dress clothes"

Felina giggled recalling Zadina as a baby in her head "He was like all babies in a way, he cried and he whined and he made nappies dirty. But he was so cute and always had this little tuft of hair sticking up. By the time he was 4 or 5 he was already mastering the basic black magic spells such as fire and blizzard by teaching himself" she described happily.
Satoshi laughed quietly rubbing Gil's shoulders "It might not be a rich stalker, they could just be good at teleportation or warping or even have an airship" she pointed out searching through her things "Would you like one of these" she added offering him some senbei with nori on top of it.
Hayate smiled secretly wondering what the chicobo food would taste like "Have you had a baby chicobo before? You seem to know a lot about them. When mines older he or she is going to end up eating a lot of fresh green veggies. The egg was a present too so I have no idea what the colour is going to be"
Yenytai grinned turning around "Oooohh Yenytai like patterns. Let Yenytai do something with Ivee hair" she told the sprite using her little finger to plait Ivy's hair. Milly stared at Mari and Hebal blankly, unaware of a word they were saying but all the same she stretched her arm out to shake Sophia's hand while the eyes of her pot rolled around happily.

Oassu raised an eyebrow "Thats seriously impressive, is that 5 elf years or standard years?" he asked picturing some baby accidentally setting fire to things "Musta been a handful"
Gil frowned looking at the food "The airship still means they are rich but I suppose still not many people have such powerful warp or teleporting abilities." he said poking one of the senbei "What is this?" he askeed
Jenna shook her head "Sorry I ain't owned one," she blushed "I just read a book on chocobo's on the way here and it covered that, you'd be best asking Seph or Itaka about experience" she sighed stroking Boco who kwehhed and headbutted reassuringly.
Ivy tittered quietly making Yenytai's hair bright red with her powers while admiring her own hair. Sophia waved her teddybear happy to have made a new friend causing Mari's smile to widen "Aww Hebal look at this, Sophia and Milly are friends now!" she said.
Itaka thought about it "It's pretty isolated but yea theres a town nearby its a nice little place on a field in a hill but theres a road to the town just 10 minutes away and theres not much traffic." he said.
Barbaros sighed, his head falling as Alpha listed the juices "Not a single pure apple juice and I can't stand any of that diluted stuff so I hope its not that kind" he said "And I don't know how to juice apples" he shrugged.
Zadina giggled "Yeah she's probably give my bot a good smack but I never really thought of myself as a nobleman" he said blushing "But wouldn't it be really expensive to buy 5 outfits especially when you outgrow them?" he asked.

Seph sighed with relief imagining the location of the farm in her head "That sounds like an ideal place to be. I love your company and all but I think I would also need a few female friends and a place to socialise or else I would go crazy. All this farm talk has just reminded me I really need to clean up my junk pile of a house sometime"
Alpha scratched his head "The orange juice and the passion fruit are both pure and diluted. The rest are all diluted because it can be stored for longer periods of time. You can use a lemon squeezer to get some of the juice out otherwise you can just stick a bunch of the apples in a blender" he suggested.
Hebal grinned looking at Milly and Sophia then up at Yenytai and Ivy "Yeah they look really cute together and these two are getting on super too" she answered indicating to the nymph on her shoulders "It's kinda a shame we have to go tomorrow to our next destination" she sighed trying to push the thought out her head.
Yawi shrugged posing in her clean uniform "It looks nice and expensive doesn't it? It really isn't that expensive, only 200gil per uniform from the nice lady at the clothes store or you can have a uniform in exchange for other items she might be needing at the time" Yiro giggled pushing her shoulders back imitating the village leader "Maybe not now but when you have a fancy house and pet chocobos and fancy clothes I bet you will start to"

Felina nodded "Yeah I guess it would been a handful but Zadina's mum is a strict one who believes in discipline so she of all people could manage such a talented kid. and thats elf years, if it were standard years he would still be a very small baby still sucking on bottles. He was really good at reading books too which made me a little envious sometimes" she added feeling somewhat ashamed to admit it.
Satoshi hesitated eating one herself and placed one in his hand "Well the bottom part is senbei which is basically a rice cracker. The green thing on top of it is nori is a kind of seaweed, it may not sound great but it's actually quite nice. It's something we eat in my village as a snack" she informed him.
Hayate glanced over at Seph and Itaka then back at Jenna "Meh I'll ask another time those two look a little busy at the moment. I totally forgot Seph worked on a chocobo farm before she headed off to the demon world for a while. Still theres nothing wrong with reading books about it, maybe one day you'll raise your own chicobo."
Yenytai stared at her new bright red hair "Very nice colour Ivee. Yenytai would keep it this colour if Yenytai didn't have to blend in with bushes to hide from mean fiends. Behemoths and snakies and zoos and yetees eat nymphies for breakfast if not careful" she told her with a grin. Milly rocked her head back and forth copying the the motion of the teddybear being waved.

Oassu smiled "Hey as long as you were reading before he was thats fine, he's a little prodigy he is and you should be glad that once he chooses to return home he'll make a great ally for your little bro once he rules" he paused thinking "Thats how it works right? The king's relatives get to help him out politically right?" he asked.
Gil frowned taking the senbei from Satoshi and trying some frowned before reaching in and removing the nori and dropping it for Enkidu to eat before continuing with the rice snack "Mmmmm this is very nice, but the nori...the texture is just a bit leathery for my liking" he said finishing the senbei with gusto.
Mari giggled as Ivy smiled pleased with her creation "You know Yenytai, most fiends are very scared of Magic Pots like Milly so if your looking for a safe place to stay you could sleep beside her pot and monsters wouldn't bother you, that or since Jenna is going to make you friendly with the Viera in the village you could try staying with Hebal's daughter" she said patting Yenytai's bow.
Jenna nodded "I hope so, apparently it's best for a chocobo knight to breed their own chocobo from birth, I was just lucky Boco took to me so well but a newborn chicobo might form an even stronger bond" she said.
Itaka smiled "Thats fine but I didn't know you were crazy about female company and maybe we can visit your house sometime, I'm sure you've got some cool treasures and stuff that you store there" he said stroking the area around Seph's bellybutton.
Barbaros chuckled "Didn't know we had a blender on the ship but when do you get the chance to stock up on all this stuff I don't often see you going to the shops you know" he said.
Zadina giggled "Do you really want a big house with lotsa chocobo's and clothes when you grow up?" he asked thinking about it and whether he wanted that for himself.
