☄ [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.

...

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?

[thxforthememories]

It isn't that.

The others have things I never did. I want the same chances... And I can't have that.

[happyduckbutt]

...why not?

[thxforthememories]

... It's complicated, I think.

[happyduckbutt]

[The boy looks down, guessing he probably shouldn't ask. But he can't not do something.

So he steps closer to the robot's foot, leaning against it.]

[thxforthememories]

[He blinks, looking down at him.]

... are you all right?

[happyduckbutt]

I'm okay. But...are you?

[thxforthememories]

As much as I ever am, yes.
