[Goddamnit, Zack, this is like a kid bringing in things from the outside and asking if he can keep them.]
As long as you house train it.
[That does make some sort of sense. If they were wild bird he would've had to stay off the beaten track, which is easy for Terra to assume so anyway. He sighs a little.]
A few people got sick right away. I was helping Asami do research in the library so I didn't notice Aqua getting sick until a few days later...

[Still, he is glad to hear him.]
That was your mission anyway, wasn't it? To find another one of those...things?
no subject
Chocobos, yes.
[ The birds have feelings too, all right!! ]
I found a little flock of them, but I only brought back one.
[ Hopefully, the others will be fruitful and multiple out there so the population can spread out a little. ]
It'll take a few more days to get back to Caer Glaem with them, and then I'll have to bring them down to Leathann.
[ A beat, then- ]
Did I miss anything?
no subject
I suppose once they get to breeding they'll have their own flock to worry about either way.
[It sounds a little crass but that's his basic understanding of what Zack was doing looking for another one. The question makes him pause.]
You mean you didn't see people with silver on their bodies?
no subject
Diarmuid said I could pick one from the first batch so I'm kind of looking forward to it myself.
[ The birbs are taking over. ]
Ah...I heard something about it, but I was doing a lot of camping.
[ Probably how he avoided getting sick in the first place. Staying out in the wilderness for a few weeks. ]
How bad was it?

They live in stables, Terra! I wouldn't keep one in my house.
[ Well. If he had one naturally. ]
Aqua got sick??
[ Alarm bells going off!! This is not good news!! ]</small. Is she okay?
no subject
[Yes, he's being cagey about it. No he doesn't care.]
no subject
Ahh...that's good! I'm glad she's okay.
You didn't catch it?
no subject
[If you haven't noticed.]
It seems to all be gone now. Has been for five days or something.
no subject
That's good to hear.
[ He's kind of glad he missed all the excitement. ]
I guess I'll see you when I get back, then!
no subject
[And yes, he's still being papa wolf as far as Zack's concerned.]
no subject
I will be!
You don't need to worry about that.
