taking it easy is harder than you think

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[If anyone feels like venturing to the chocobo stables, they will find someone who hasn't been seen for quite some time. Daddy is currently sitting on a blanket under the shade of a tree, quietly watching the chocobos roaming in the field, and feeding the cute chicks that kweh at him. He's glad to be out of bed, even if he's not allowed to do much. He still looks somewhat pale though with shadows under his eyes, and his formerly long silver hair has been cut to a more manageable shoulder-length, making a stumpy ponytail tied by pink ribbon.

He's feeling a bit antsy from the inaction and convalescence though, and is wondering if he might be able to sneak a quick ride or two around the field. Surely no one will notice... right?]


[OOC: Open for anyone to bother Daddy!Ri. Antagonizing him at the moment might not be smart though, and those trying will face the Wrath of Kira. Daddy is in a rather open-minded and mellow mood at the moment, so try your luck.]

[What was that? You wanted a stalker? He might even notice before she comes walking up. She's not hiding the fact that she's tailing him.]

Nice day out.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[dammit he was just about to try and get up :/ and of course he noticed you, he's a bit weak, not dead]

Looking to be a good day so far, Riku-pi.

[dawningcoast]

[Of course not! But if she wanted to, she'd at least try to mask herself. She comes strolling up to him, hands in her pockets.]

Yeah, it is. Enjoying yourself?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Of course. It's better out here than being laid up in bed.

[he looks a little cranky as he thinks about how long he was on bedrest]

[dawningcoast]

Better than the alternative.

[She is not going to side with him about bed rest, I'm afraid. She will crouch down by the end of that blanket, though.]

[There's a Replica who just located the stables here. He's never seen chocobos before, and is mostly just kinda staring at them, tempted to go up and look at one up close but afraid of getting attacked.

That was at first, anyway. Currently he's attempting to catch one of the baby chocobos. This is totally the best idea.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[it's a good idea until the baby chocobo starts warking its little head off as it runs for protection behind Ri, catching the attention of all the adult chocobos and Daddy]

What the hell...?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Nothing keeps me down for long, you know that, Riku-pi.

[he gives you a smile, but it's a weak one -- being so weak and practically helpless really shook him badly -- also what is this crouching, sit like a proper person]

[darkyang.livejournal.com]

[Asdkfjdfkg that wasn't supposed to happen.]

Hey! Hey, shush...

[And he didn't see Ri there either at first. He's also debating climbing the nearby tree if the birds try to get him.]

...uh, hi. I wasn't trying to hurt it, I swear.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[the chocobos would just wait until you passed out from exhaustion and hunger, fell out of the tree, then stomp you]

Then why are you chasing it around? The adults don't like it when the chicks are threatened, you know.

[darkyang.livejournal.com]

[Evil birds. :<]

I didn't know it was going to make so much noise! I've never seen them before, and I wanted to get a closer look at one.

[dawningcoast]

One of your shining traits.

[She smiles back at him. Also fine, she will sit.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[you mean smart birds that hold grudges]

In general, it's easier to catch a chocobo by giving it greens. You're lucky the nesting mothers didn't just kick the shit out of you.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Because I'm badass, right?

[please to be stroking his wounded ego]

[dawningcoast]

It's hard to be more badass than you.

[And she's not just saying that.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Of course! Because I'm me!

[he is certainly willing to sit here and not do anything strenuous if it means he gets ego stroking]

[dawningcoast]

Exactly what I mean.

[Lucky she's willing to ego-stroke!]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

I haven't missed anything major while I've been... resting, have I? I feel so out of the loop.

[you are so tricksy]

[twilit-papa.livejournal.com]

So this is where you ran off to.

[Don't even think about it, buster.]

[dawningcoast]

Not really. Same old.

[Of course, in the DR that could mean anything. But still! She shrugs. She's trying not to focus their conversation much on him being out of commission, or just... unwell. She doubts he wants her doting on him.]

My eyes are going.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

[are you sick of seeing him yet? huh?]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

... going where?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[of course not; he just doesn't like feeling so weak]

... I'm not doing anything!

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

I didn't run! I'm not allowed to.

[thinking won't hurt anything ;;]

[dawningcoast]

[She laughs, once, then reaches for the collar of her shirt and slides out a pair of glasses that had been hanging down the front.]
