You'll just have to see if it's a good time.

Ready and waiting! [ and he makes it! ] Nice! Maybe you have a knack for it. [ he'll grab the reins and offer them up ] Okay so... if you want them to start moving, you give them a light tap with your heel. Lean forward to make them go faster. Lean back and give the rein a tug for breaks.

[dms]

I don't think you'll let me down.

I'm a born chocobo rider! [ hehe. he takes the reins but honestly? no idea what to do with them. the chocobo probably knows. it's fine. ] I bet going fast on these guys must be pretty fun, right?

[brotograph]

Yeah, it's pretty fun. Feeling the speed with the wind in your hair. Even better when they glide! [ he's going to his chocobo to hop on. ] Want to learn on the road or do a couple laps first?

[ he'll let the boy set the pace ]

[dms]

...A test run might not be a bad idea. [ kazu likes to live for the moment but he also likes for that moment to not be getting flung off of a chocobo ] Just to help me get the hang of it.

[brotograph]

Okay, then follow me. [ he's going to maneuver his chocobo towards the road and then across it over to the chocobo track. looking over his shoulder to make sure he still has kazu following him ] It's a bit safer over here. Won't have to worry about cars or monsters.

[dms]

But we will once we leave?!

[ don't just drop that on him!! prompom!!! ]

[brotograph]

No! Well... not really. If we stick to the road, we'll be fine. People are pretty good at slowing down for chocobos. We also move fast enough to escape any unwanted attention from the monsters out there.

[ they'll be fine! ]

[dms]

Mm... Okay. I trust you, Prompom.

[ monsters make kazu nervous, but as long as he says it's fine, that's the end of it. onward to the track, then! ]

[brotograph]

[ he'll keep him safe!

and to the track they go! It looks pretty peaceful at least ]

Normally it's used for races, but we'll just do a lap on the shorter course. [ i forgot the views you get from going around the short one ] Ready?

[dms]

So they race these guys, too... [ fascinating! he wonders which of prompto's friends usually wins. ]

Ready! It can't be that hard, right?

[brotograph]

Yeah! Makes me wonder if it used to be popular before things got bad out here. [ usually iris or iggy ]

It's like pie, baby! [ no obstacles or anything ] Ready. Set. Go! [ he'll follow behind or beside him ]

[dms]

Must have been! I would have loved to see it!

[ but okay. on "go," kazunari leans full into it, and the chocobo takes off like a shot. there's a startled yelp at first, but give it a moment, and it turns into delighted laughter. ]

[brotograph]

Same! That would have been before we were ever born. [ things have been getting bad for a while

he watches before laughing and following after ]

You can get them to jump, too! You flick the rein up!

[dms]

[ flick the reins... he tries, but the chocobo just keeps on running like nothing happened. ]

...Did I do it wrong?

[brotograph]

Huh? Let me see. Try it again, baby. [ he's going to watch him to see what he does. ]

[dms]

[ can you believe i wrote this tag earlier but apparently it didn't send and now it's lost forever

anyway he tries it again, but it works this time! the chocobo leaps into the air! kazu yelps in surprise and clings to it as it drifts down. ]

I don't know what I did differently?!

[brotograph]

[ he has to raise a palm to his mouth to keep from laughing. sorry baby he knows you're doing your best ]

Maybe the bird was feeling a little jump shy at first? Good job! You can have them jump when you want a little bit of a speed boost.

[dms]

[ it's fine, kazu can laugh at himself, too. ]

Or maybe it just wanted to play around? I got the fun chocobo, obvs!

[brotograph]

Playing hard to get. [ he's going to stroke his own on the neck ] How are you feeling? Want keep to the track a bit longer or good to hit the road?

[dms]

We can go! There's no better way to learn than on the way, right? And I trust you not to let me eat dirt.

[brotograph]

Alright! Let's get birding! [ he'll flick his reins and start heading south! ] Let me know if you need a break. There's rest spots that are covered in runes to keep all monsters and daemons away.

[dms]

Is it really so far that we'd need it, though?

[brotograph]

It's not that far, but it is your first time here. Might feel a lot further than it is.

[ they also might take some detours. ]

West of here is where Titan was snoozing before he was woken up. He's another one of those Astrals. You can see his crater from here actually. See the spikes way in the distance?

[dms]

I'll be fine! It can't be that bad.

[ famous last words

shielding his eyes from the sun, he squints out to look. ] Yeah, I see them. A crater, though? These astrals of yours are really into wrecking things, aren't they?

[brotograph]

I think that's partially from the meteor. He has a big meteor on his back that he caught a long, long time ago. [ they only teach vague-ish stories to the normies here ] It's gone now, broken up in pieces when he when he woke up. He uh also tried killing us.
