[Video feed shows the inside of a chocobo stable, with a raised nest displaying an egg. Just the egg. There's the sounds of the adult birds kwehing in the background, and the cheeps of what sounds like a chick.

After a moment's wobbling, it then turns around to Eiko who's sitting on the ground, with a black chicobo settled in her lap.]

Two more weeks is a long time to wait.

[Delita is impressed by the chicobo sitting in the Princess' lap.]

Princess. I did not realize you were so well acquainted with the chocobos.

[Someone to talk to while keeping vigil over the egg!]

Yup. Denzel gave me an egg for my birthday, so I'm going to hatch it. And Rydia gave me Sam.

[At the mention of his name, the chick in her lap warbles and wiggles.]

[Concerned about the chocobo.]

'Tis my understanding that you understand moogles, but what is your experience with chocobos?

[Video]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

I saw the Black Mages hatch one. And Shelke gave me a book about chocobos!

Oh, is that a chicobo? It's so cute!

[voice]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. His name is Sam.

[Sam seems pretty interested in the phone because he's pecking at it with his beak.

Eiko looks at the bird and eventually he quits, giving her curious head tilts.]

[voice]

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Does he belong to you?

[Rydia smiles, watching the black chicobo for a moment before shifting her gaze to Eiko.]

The time will go by faster than you think, if you keep busy. Just focus on something else for a bit while the new chicobo gets ready, and you'll see her soon enough!

What if it hatches while I'm not here?

[Video]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

The chocobo stables have staff, right? Have someone check on the egg every so often and come get you if it starts to hatch?

[xnotyetaherox.livejournal.com]

Two weeks until we become parents?

[ voice ]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Yep! I'm excited! I talked to the egg too. The chick says she's a girl.

[ voice ]

[xnotyetaherox.livejournal.com]

A girl? Aw... I wanted a son. But I guess a daughter is cool too!

[voice]

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

Are you waiting for it to hatch?

[voice]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Yes, but it's taking forever. I want it to hatch now.

[ voice ]

[xredthespianx.livejournal.com]

Two weeks, huh? Not long to go now!

I still need to give you your birthday presents, little missy. I'll drop by soon, okay?

[ voice ]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll be in the stable with the egg.

Did you have fun at the party?

[ voice ]

[xredthespianx.livejournal.com]

Okay, l'il lady. I'll be by soon.

And I had a fantastic time. Did you? It was your party after all.

[video]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

You have one too!

[Meanwhile, Sam's feathered face takes over the screen, tilting from side to side trying to locate the source of the peeping.]

What'd you name it?

[video]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Isn't it neat? I'd never seen one this color before.

[Cecil smiles at the sight of the little black chocobo.]

A rare color for a chocobo, yet one can find them in the Chocobo Nursery within the Kingdom of Troia. Have you given it a name?

[video]

[lastsummoner.livejournal.com]

Yup. I named him Sam.

[The tiny bird kwehs at the mention of his name.]
