Aniyu: It's that time again!!
Vaan: Who's getting tortured this time?
Anayi: (draws another name) Fran apparently.
Fran: (sighs) If I must.
The Chocobo Misadventures Of:
Sky Pirate Fran
"Fran, was that really necessary?"
The Vierra chose not to answer as her companions coughed and brushed the soot off of their armor. The Chocobos were standing stock still, eyeing the smoldering tail feathers of their kin fearfully.
You may be wondering what happened. Well the day started normal enough, the group had planned to head for the Stillshrine, having heard word that the Feral Retriever was spotted near there. They rented Chocobos from Gurdy, and had been loading their equipment and supplies as they usually did.
Fran had finished first and had reached forward to mount the bird when it took several steps forward. The Vierra looked at it, puzzled, but followed after it and tried again. Again, as she went to mount, the Chocobo walked forward several steps. This went on for a few minutes, the rest of the party taking notice when Fran and the bird had exited the Sand-Strewn Pass.
Curious, they had led their Chocobos after her, wondering what she was doing.
After about the sixth time, Fran was sufficiently annoyed. "Take heed, bird: if you continue this, you will not enjoy the consequences."
The others noticed the Vierra's patience had worn dangerously thin and Balthier stepped forward to try and calm her.
"Fran, now's really not a good time to lose your temper."
Balthier's partner started to calm down but she growled lowly as the Chocobo once again moved away. "Enough. FIRA!"
The Chocobo ran around in a panic, kicking up snow to put the flames out. Fran's companions all shouted in either panic, shock, or indigence as they patted down the flames that latched on to them.
It was safe to say the Chocobo didn't try to move away again as Fran finally mounted.
"Shall we be off?"
END Part 4
Aniyu: I had trouble with Fran, since I doubt she's prone to having trouble with animals.
Fran: I do not.
Aniyu: (shrugs) Anyway, R&R please!
