Aarjav hummed softly as he groomed the chocobos. It was a quiet day at the ranch so he didn't expect a customer to walk up behind him, but Cephy did. He blinked down at her and smiled like he was supposed to and said his usual greeting. "Welcome to the Chocobo post! Can I help you with anything?"
[First Meeting] with Aarjav Stringer / @actual-flower-girl
oOoOoOo
Hands in the jeans pocket and shirt sleeves rolled up,Cephy strolled down. It was a particularly sunny and warm day, and theblue-eyed girl was starting to regret putting on a long shirt. Then again, itwasnāt like she had anything else with her besides her dead phone, a sonic screwdriver and somecash. The white shirt was a bad choice to being with; she knew she was aclumsy, which was very evident by the stains on the shirt.
Running her hands through her pink dyed hair, Cephytook in her surrounding: It was a humbly sized ranch, breeding and raising andgrooming chocobos.
Or stupid dodoās as Cephy has dubbed them in her head.
With nothing better to do, she decided that it wastime to overcome her fear of riding creatures that were considerably muchtaller than her (her first horse-riding experience was not the best). Shedoubted that the squawking birds were any worse, but she was not taking anyrash chances.
With a new resolve, Cephy took in a deep breath,puffed out her chest slightly and raised her head, marching down the road toapproach a tall and dark-skinned guy feeding a chocobo chick.
Hearing her approaching, said person turned around andflashed her a kind smile ā Cephy was sure that bright smile could turn anydaemons away.
āWelcome to the Chocobo post! Can I help you withanything?ā he asked, his curly dark hair dancing with the light breeze.
Another thing that Cephy noticed is that she had tocrank up her neck to meet him in the eyes, but thank God he was making it a biteasier but bending down slightly.
Hm, good question. What would be a good answer tothat? Yes, hi hey! My name is Cephy and Iam human just like you, except Iām from planet Earth in the Sol system, foundin Local Cluster in the Milky Way Galaxy. Iām just killing time here until myfriend picks me up so I can finally go home and get my exam over with.
āHi! Iām shit scared of chocobos but I want to getover that fear because riding oversized dodoās seems like a fun thing to killtime.ā Is what she blurted out instead, and prayed the ground would just openup and swallow her.
