☄ [Video] :: Location - Alpha Trion's Quadrant: Farming Area

[happyduckbutt]

[The boy can be seen scattering crumbs to the new residents at the farm, namely three chickens and a rooster. They've all got colored bows on them for some reason- pink, blue, green and yellow.

Laughing as he watches the chickens near, he squats down, scooping another handful of food in his hand to hold out to them. Nearby, the rooster patrols, picking at the bits on the ground occasionally as he keeps an eye on Ventus.]

There ya go, Flora, Fauna. Ack! Heheh, hey, watch the fingers, Merriweather!

[He stands again, glancing over at the rooster.]

Aw, don't be like that, Lea. There's plenty for you too, you know.

[happyduckbutt]

Nope! Maybe we can fly around together some time!

[He smiles- then blinks.] Oh right! The chickens!

[Turning, he sets his hands on his knees, trying to call them over.]

Flora! Fauna! Merriweather! ...aw come on, guys.

[The boy watches them scratch at the ground pointlessly for food that's no longer there. Remembering he has some left in his pocket, he slips his hand in and out, producing the kernels to toss in front of him.]

Okay, there we go.

[thxforthememories]

You fly?

[Then he goes very still and silent, as the boy does his best to summon the birds.]

[Wow. They sure are... odd looking. Then again, he's used to seeing pigeons and seagulls. Not chickens.]

... Why don't they fly?

[happyduckbutt]

Well, not by myself, anyway. But my Keyblade can change into a glider.

[He manages to scoop up one of the chickens, who only protests mildly before settling in his arms.]

Shh, it's okay Merriweather.

Um.

[He looks back at Kagerou.]

I don't think they can fly.

[thxforthememories]

It transforms?

[Never mind he's not even entirely sure what a 'keyblade' is.]

[He leans in, peering closer at the bird. His scanner flashes a few times, studying it.]

But they're birds. Aren't they?

[happyduckbutt]

Yeah! I can show you later, if you want.

[He tilts his head, watching Kagerou curiously.]

Pretty sure they are. I guess not all birds fly, even though they have wings? But then when you look at them, they don't really look...built for flying.

[thxforthememories]

All right.

[He... also tilts his head. Like a bird. Though, considering what he turns into, that's not entirely surprising.]

But... birds are meant to fly. That's what makes them birds.

[happyduckbutt]

Hm. Maybe they just forgot how?

[thxforthememories]

...

Then they should be taught to fly again.

[happyduckbutt]

I...dunno...

[thxforthememories]

If they're birds, they should be able to fly.

[happyduckbutt]

But...what if they just can't?

[thxforthememories]

Why couldn't they?

[happyduckbutt]

[Setting the chicken down, the boy scratches his head.]

I don't know. I'm not really a chicken expert.

[thxforthememories]

Neither am I... but all the birds I've seen can fly.

[happyduckbutt]

Hmm. Well...have you seen all birds?

[thxforthememories]

I...

No? I don't think so.

[happyduckbutt]

Then it's possible that maybe there are some birds that just don't fly, don't you think?

[thxforthememories]

I guess there could be.

... that's awful. To be a bird, and not be capable of doing what the others can.

[happyduckbutt]

Well, maybe they don't mind. They don't look like they do, anyway.

[thxforthememories]

...

I would mind.

[happyduckbutt]

....

[thxforthememories]

That's called 'jealousy', isn't it?

[happyduckbutt]

...I think so.

[thxforthememories]

Then.

If I were like them... I would be... jealous. Of the other birds.

[happyduckbutt]

I guess I'd be too... But then...at the same time, why would you want to be the same as everyone else?
