[video] [Both Courts] Everybody loves eggs right?
[Lumina is skipping along ahead of the image feed when it clicks on, so one of her imps is probably filming her again. People familiar with the area might recognizing the rolling hills outside of Mair, but now nestled between a number of them is what looks like a large, sprawling ranch. Lumina comes to a stop beneath a hand-painted sign that says 'Gran Pulse Chocobo Ranch', with a painting of a bright yellow chocobo standing in front of a giant green and blue planet, with a smaller gray planet hanging in the background.]
[She twists around once she's under the sign and grins at the locket. Chaos the black chocobo is standing just inside the gate, sans his usual armor and saddle, and he peers at his mistress and the imp with a 'why me' kind of expression, then warks quietly.]
Look, they gave me a whole ranch! I had to make the sign myself though. [Lumina can find fault in anything.]
But it's a chocobo ranch! I mean, it will be. Once I have more than three of them. I mean, who gives you a ranch but not any extra animals?
[She huffs because she can't exactly breed their glorious chicken-mount overlords without more chicken-mounts, can she? But then the cheerful grin is back and she jumps forward to snatch the locket away from the imp.]
But look!
[There's a flare of light and darkness that obscures everything, and when it fades, Lumina is inside somewhere. There are two yellow chocobos, smaller than the black one seen earlier but ride-able, standing over a little wooden box, and Lumina runs over to it. She spins the locket around to her face again, and she is clearly more excited than she can contain.]
There'll be more of them soon!
[And again the locket goes spinning around, pointing inside the box. There's hey, and five eggs about the size of melons, each speckled a different color. She reaches out to tap one of them, which earns her an annoyed little wark from one of the parent chocobos, and then she giggles.]
Sooorry.
[And then back to pointing the screen at herself.]
See Steve, that's a chocobo egg. No you can't eat one. [A beat and a smirk.] I'd say people can come see them but there's that whole war thing going on, huh?
[Another little pause.]
But uh...on a related thing, dooooooes anyone know anything about hatching eggs? Or taking care of eggs? Or...really...anything about eggs? Except the eating part. Anything useful.
[Because she doesn't have a clue whoops.]

Can they learn magic like you?
video;
[She shakes her head.]
No, just regular magic.
video;
Then you should be able to train them to sit on the eggs without a problem.
video;
[Pause. Wait a second...Her eyes narrow and her hands go to her hips.]
What would it matter if they had my magic instead of normal magic, huh?
video;
[It would totally matter because then maybe he can train some of the chocobos himself to do things for him...]
video;
Liar.
video;
What makes you think it's a lie? Do people usually lie to you?
video;
Because it's clearly a lie.
video;
video;
For another, you had that same excited look as when I told you about the station.

[There are other reasons he'd be curious about magical chocobos, but may as well let Lumina think it's just that for now.]
Re: video;
Of course everyone would want a teleporting chocobo, but then I wouldn't be special anymore.
video;
video;
But the teleporting is what everybody remembers.
video;
Only because that's what you let everybody remember. I bet you could make them focus on something else if you really wanted to. [Purposefully baiting her? Maybe.]
video;
I don't know...I kind of like being known for randomly appearing when least expected.
video;
Guess that means you really are holding out on me. Disappointing.
video;
[She puts on an innocent expression, leaning towards her locket.] Hey, I didn't think we were good enough friends yet to share all my secrets.
video;
[...busted.] I--well no, I mean we're not really friends, right? We're just--[...no, Lumina kinda counts as a friend. When the hell did that happen?] You know. Part of the same team, I guess?
video;
Oh... Then why would I tell you anything, huh?
video;
This is just a little strange to him. Lumina, unfortunately, just got the blunt end first.]
...maybe because we're kinda friends?
video;
Except that's not what you just said.
video;
[Sadly this is a genuine question.]
