[Video] un: shutterflash

[silverselfie]

[Just like the last time Prompto's face hit the network, this time he looks just as excited! This was his Chocobo OMG™ face! It was the excitement that could only be caused by those bright, sunshine birds he loved so much!

This time there was one small difference. A very small difference...

While the image was somewhat grainy and the colours washed out, it was clear that Prompto was standing in a barn. And when he turned the camera, Noctis could be seen standing beside him.]


Okay so we've kept this secret because we wanted to wait to see how this went... But so far so good, right? [He glanced at Noct with a wide, happy grin.]


See, our chocobo's, they had babies! And they hatched! And it was touch-and-go for a bit but... Look!


[And here is where Prompto would take the camera off of himself and point it down toward the chicks. Three golden balls of feathers wandered near Noct's feet.]

[ After they show off the chocobo chicks, Noctis pulls the camera back in front of them, smile on his face. ]


We're thinking of setting up a race course, training these guys to race so we can share the national sport of Lucis with everybody. So, uh, if you've got any experience training chocobos... or anything, really, let me know. We may need some help.


(ooc note: Noct or Prom will be replying to comments!)

[Prompto gives a nod, he's smiling still but it's muted a little.]

Turns out that time magic stuff is bad for babies. So had to set up wards and things to try and counter it all. It helped this time but... [But that didn't mean they'll be so lucky the next time. They could lose one or two or the whole brood if they were unlucky enough. Prompto hoped for the best though.]

Ai! [ He shakes his head in understanding ]

That would make sense, yes. Very risky. But at least you know how to best protect them, now.

[Prompto gave a sad little shake of his head but then offered up a determined smile.]

All I can do is my best! Wanna do what I can to protect my babies!

[bythewaves]

I'm sure you will do well. [ He encourages ]

See! But you have done so well already.

[silverselfie]

Yeah, this time. Thanks, Maglor.

[The encouragement helps. Noctis has been his rock through all of this, keeping him motivated and looking after him when he came home tired. But the hard work was mostly past now. The chicks were growing and things were looking brighter.]

[bythewaves]

This time, and I am sure the next.

[ He says firmly ]

I'm sure you will do well.

[silverselfie]

[The reassurance does make him feel a lot better, and when he glances aside to see Noctis sitting with a chick in his lap he's even more reassured. He can do this. Prompto is sure of that.]

You're right. I will. Thanks, dude.

[bythewaves]

There we go. [ Maglor hums approvingly ] That's the spirit.

You'll be alright, my friend. And so will they.
