"Agrias?" Ramza frowned, as he looked around the camp his small army had assembled.
"Yes?"
"You don't happen to own any chocobos do you?"
"No, I don't." Angrias looked up from the pile of armor and weaponry that she was taking her pick from. It wouldn't do for a knight on a mission to fail because she was underarmed after all. "Why?"
"It just seems... well, we've only picked up Boco right?"
"Yes?"
"And we don't have a mediator, so we couldn't have persuaded any of the other wild ones to come with us right?"
"Right." Agrias had a glimmer of an idea where this was going.
"So WHERE did those other two suddenly spring up from?" Ramza burst out. "We have two extra chocobos! They're taking up space, eating all our food, and attracting monsters the way that gil attracts thievs!"
"HEY!" An indignant voice sounded from the other side of the campfire. "That was a perfectly good amount of gil! And you're WEARING that armor I stole earlier!"
"Ramza," Agrias said carefuly, "You do know how quickly chocobos breed right?"
"Yea?"
"Has it occured to you that Boco could be a girl?"
"... Boco isn't a very girly name."
"Boco's a chocobo. I'm sure names aren't that important to them."
"But even if Boco's a girl... how? I mean, she's the only chocobo in the party! ... or she was."
"You know, I have no idea."
Authors Note: This drivel was inspired when I decided to replay FFT. Right after getting Agrias and having to save Ovelia for the first time, from Delita, I'd decided to do some leveling. I wound up making two round trips (roughly 'two weeks') without running into anything, and I'd just gotten Boco earlier…
Well, while Boco, as a monster, is technically supposed to be 'gender neutral,' I'm VERY curious as to how 'he' managed to lay two eggs. I'd thought it to be a very amusing picture for Ramza to be looking at his small army of chocobos and ask, "How?"
Y'know, it's sad when the author's note is about half the size of the fic itself. There may or may not be a chapter added to this.
