[ time to slide his fingers through kazu's hair ]

There's been more daemons popping up lately and uh one of the six Astrals flooded the city on the continent across the water.

[ sometimes things get fucked up ] Even before then, there were issues with the Empire running around.

[dms]

Whoa, that's intense! No wonder they aren't traveling! [ he's not entirely sure what an astral is, but holy cow?! ] Why would it do something like that?

[brotograph]

Some of the Astrals wanted Noct to prove he's worthy by trying to fight him. The Tide Goddess was sleeping smack dab in the middle of the city pretty much. It was a beautiful place surrounded by water. So when she woke up, she was pretty cranky, ready to destroy everything, and throwing streams of water every where.

From what I get of the Astrals they don't really care about people.

[dms]

Yikes! I thought part of why gods are gods is to help the people, not wreck everything!

You guys have really been through way more than you let on, huh?

[brotograph]

They're the more... help themselves kind. The first one we met wasn't like that at least, but that's just one out of three so far.

I guess because it's kind of become the norm? It's crazy thinking about it looking back at it and all, but when you get used to it, it doesn't really hit as being as a lot. [ especially compared to some other events that have happened ]

[dms]

Man, that sucks... And there could be more of them like that?

[ suddenly he's a lot more worried for prompto and his bros. ]

I feel like this is something you shouldn't be getting used to, Prompom...

[brotograph]

There's a total of six of them. I don't really know the lore for them. That's kind of Noct's and Iggy's area of expertise. [ he's just a pleb who was raised normalish ]

It's fine. It'll all be over soon anyways!

[ just going to card his fingers through kazu's hair before leaning in. sorry baby bird he's invading to bump his forehead against the side of kazu's head ]

[dms]

[ there's a part of him like "wow only six" because sometimes you grow up in japan where there are who knows how many gods and spirits around and another part that's like "six of them that don't care about the people around them yikes!" ]

It doesn't sound fine if they're out there flooding places?

[ touch all you want but it won't make him stop worrying ]

[brotograph]

[ he's definitely going to keep touching. ]

Hey, you know I'll be careful. And I do have some of the best people watching my back.

[ he's safe! he'll be safe. he'll be safe even if he takes selfies in the middle of a fight! ]

[dms]

Hmm, I don't know if I'd call you careful. [ he remembers the dinosaur selfie! ] ...But I'll let it slide as long as you're okay.

[brotograph]

I'm way okay. I also have someone I want to return to.

[dms]

And you'd better return! Or we'll never be able to see this little guy fly!

[ this is their son now ]

[brotograph]

You can count on it. [ planting a kiss on his cheek and then stepping back. petting the baby chocobo ]

Have you ridden... well anything before?

[dms]

[ there are a few people he could name but he won't do that to prompto ]

Besides cars or mass transit? Not really! There was that one adventure we had in the prism, I guess, but Kumopi and I woke up on the horses, and we didn't even ride them for long. I don't think I'd count it.

[brotograph]

[ wow i mean he could do that to prompto if he wants. he could see if prompto gets bothered by past lovers ]

We can do a bit of a practice before hitting the road then. [ how sore is kazu going to be after this ] Whenever you're good to put the baby down. [ even if he's enjoying petting birb and occasionally reaching to touch boyfriend like this ]

[dms]

[ he does not want to

and he's not in any rush, but prompom seems preeeeetty hype about these chocobos, so he'll just gently set down the baby. be free, little guy. ]

It's cool, he was probs ready to be free again, anyway. So is it that hard to learn?

[brotograph]

[ snagging a stray black feather to poke him with ]

Not really. They are pretty newb friendly. The only thing hard is getting used to the soreness that comes from riding them.

[ probably good thing they decided they are heading to the fancy hotel ]

Let's rent a couple and head to the track. If you want, an attendant can add some color to them. They have these bird friendly dyes just for them.

[dms]

Eh? Why would it make you sore?

[ if he was sore from the horses then he didn't notice under all the other injuries ]

Ohh, cool! And bird-friendly, too! I love it! But I bet you love them just as they are, right?

[brotograph]

Because the muscles aren't really used to being in that position for long while bouncing.

[ i keep wanting to make a save the chocobo and ride a chocobro joke ] You know... [ a glance at kazu's butt ]

You'll be right. Nothing beats them all natural. Their yellow color is great just the way it is.

[dms]

...I guess that makes sense? [ unsure. and he gives a gasp of mock offense! prompto, how dare you! ] Hey, my eyes are up here!

[ laughing ]

It matches your hair better, too!

[brotograph]

We'll just have to see! There is a pretty nice tub waiting for you at the end of this if you do get sore. [ there's a beat before he's bold and reaches to give kazu's butt a pat ] I was just trying to indicate where, dude. Can't a guy look at his boyfriend's butt?

[ HE HAS MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT HIS HAIR MATCHING ]

Thanks! [ yeah not going to explain the chocobo butt joke ]

[dms]

A hot bath after a ride does sound really nice... [ he laughs a little harder! ] Weren't you always the one worried about PDA, dude?

[ kazu doesn't care that much, personally, but it's funny. ]

Maybe that's why they like you so much. You're practically one of them.

[brotograph]

We only have the birds right here paying attention.

[ so he'll get a little handsy here until he loses his bravery ]

Hey! I'm not... [ even if he's a chocobo lover ]

[dms]

You trust the birds not to rat you out, huh?

[ he reaches out to card his fingers through prompto's hair with a smile. ]

I seem to remember you had some feathers here, once upon a time... They looked an awful lot like the chocobos' feathers.

[brotograph]

Definitely. They are my chocobros!

[ he leaning into the touch but he's puffing up ]

Well, yeah, but that's different! Way different.
