[H/W - **2 - Shoddy Video]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

[It’s a shaky feed and emitting a heavy panting from the man who’s holding said phone. There’s no shot of him however, but a dirty brown boot and green paratrooper pants. The video is then directed at the busy-looking little town of Lindblum. And he’s obviously far away for where he should be.]

That’s…. Lindblum, ain’t it? [Heavier breathing, as if talking that little bit wore him out. Then a coughing wheeze came over he and the speakers, the view swinging down to the ground to view shoes and a toppled over shadow.

A moment later, he’s back up, clearing his throat and throwing around profanities.] Goddamn… P-O-S body... outta gil… no smokes… bullshit. All’a it. [He grumbles some more before turning around and looking around him; forest.]

Well. Hot damn. That looks like a nice a’nough tree … See ya guys in the mornin’!

[The feed cuts off there, shut off in his pocket.]

[Tea, you say. Well. Consider him a resident.] ... I guess I could stick around fer a bit. If I ain't gonna be a burden.

Yeah! Chocobo-Head! [Of course, once you get him on a top that just screams for a story...] His hair looks like one'a them over grown chicken's don't it? You ever seen a chocobo before? Looks just like that ball'a spikes on his head!

[Oh, you know he loves you like a son, Cloud. Don't get your panties all in a twist, he'll always care and you know it even if he'll never admit it.]

You're never a burden, Cid.

[Cloud just goes quiet now, and lets Cid talk. He knows how Cid likes to make fun of him, and pretty much everyone and everything, so he's fine with it. He also knows how Cid is pretty much the nearest thing to a dad he has ever had. After a minute, he sighs.]

Okay, we get it. You hate my hair. I can't help it, y'know...

I would suggest not meeting Bartz's Chocobo then Cloud. It may mistake you for its own kind.

[He'll always feel like a burden, with his language and addictions. Not that he'll admit that either.] I didn't say I hated it. Shit, calm down, kid.

Naw, he does... okay 'round them birds.

[And Cloud will always see him as a dad. Except right now he's glaring at Firion.]

That's not funny. I'm not a chocobo.

I know how to race them, not breed with them. [Look at his angry little pout.]

I never said you were, that was Cid.

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Aww, stop mopin', boy. Ain't that hard ta breed 'em. Ya just gotta look fer the right shit is all. Pair 'em up and bam! Best goddamn chocobo ya've ever seen.

Just need experience is all.

Sure, but I don't want to be the one helping make the babies.

And, for the record, I like my hair. [He's still being a child about this. Then again, when isn't he?]

How much longer until we reach your friend? Surely he didn't decide to stay that far out of the city.

[Cid just sighs and rolls his eyes at Cloud. Some things don't ever change.]

Uh, surely he did. I gotta pretty lil view of the city. Ain't supposed ta walk that last mile. Get too excited, over work ta get there and once ya do, ya drop dead. No thanks, I'll gladly wait!

[video/action]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

You're so dramatic, Cid. You wouldn't die if you walked the last mile. [Well, Cloud wouldn't, but mako helps.]

[He shuts off the video because, hey, there you are! Crouching down, Cloud frowns disapprovingly at Cid's choice in resting places.]

You could've been eaten before morning.
