Day 3: Cor and Chocobos

If there was one thing on Eos that Cor both loved and hated equally then it had to be chocobos. There wasn't anything wrong with chocobos per say but Cor seemed to always end up in the oddest situations with them.

Cor stared blankly at his chocobo, named Silly by a certain Amicitia, as she waddled over with a dead mouse in her mouth. The carcass was dropped at his feet with a proud Kweh.

Cor ignored it, closing his eyes in exasperation at his mount's behavior. He opened them back up when a beak carefully started preening his hair. Since their arrival at the haven, an arrival Cor barely remembered due to a rather nasty head injury, Silly had been bringing him small dead animals and using her beak to apparently check on him.

He swipe the beak away, patting the yellow feathers in a tired manner. He had been able to treat his injuries to a reasonable degree. He had even managed to call Monica before his strength had faded and his head spun too much to speak.

Cor sighed, groaning as he shifted to try and find a more comfortable position. Silly kwehed again, dropping to cuddle against Cor almost protectively while returning to carting her beak through his hair. Cor started to raise his hand up to push her away but stopped part way and dropped his arm back down.

His head spun, each heart beat sending waves of pain through his mind and he hoped that whoever came to help him would have a potion or two to spare. Cor closed his eyes with a sigh, he was exhausted.

Silly kwehed loudly in his ear, startling Cor awake and he swore. His head injury was more serious than he expected if he had passed out like that. Silly chirped softly and Cor muttered his thanks.

Maybe having an affinity with mothering chocobos wasn't so bad. At least they made for trustworthy companions.
