[Freya's always hated the smell of the birds, but she liked them well enough. She remembered them. Sort of. Birds like them. Larger and more wild differently plumed.]
[She's getting along well with one of the regular yellow ones, feeding it greens to build trust and occasionally talking softly to it. Which is apparently successful when it kwehs and leans down to start preening Freya's hair.]
Well, aren't you a sweetheart? [That. Kind of hurts, with how tangled her hair is, but she'll indulge the chocobo for a moment.]
Manege
[Freya had no bloody idea how to ride a horse.]
[If Retrospec's weird bullshit had any perks, it made riding chocobos easy, especially these tiny things. Freya hadn't even bothered to flag down a trainer or saddle her steed; she'd just slipped up onto it's back, sidesaddle, and was gently guiding the bird around the track.]
[...Even if the bird seemed to get distracted a lot. For example, like stopping in the middle of the track to obsessively dig at something.] Sorry for holdin' up traffic.
