Western Mideel, Gaia, Thursday

Chocobo Lure Materia? Check.

Sylkis Greens? Friggin' expensive, but yes, Check.

Weapons? Reno gave his baton a tap against his shoulder, checked his Materia over, and smirked. Check.

Worm-skinned dude from Arrakis? Yep, Reno had that, too.

"So, the trick is, we follow the tracks," he informed Leto, looking down to make sure he didn't miss any as they walked. "An' then we hunt around for monsters when we find 'em. Chocobos love hangin' around monsters, yo."

Somebody had asked for Chocobos, and Reno planned to deliver.

[NFB for distance, for that worm-skinned guy, and I have no idea why half of this post vanished into the ether so that I had to re-type it. Wtf, LJ.]

It was tiny by Dune standards, but that might mean it moved faster. Leto wasn't going to underestimate it. He moved swiftly to one side to figure out how fast the creature reacted.

Fun, yes.

Leto was suddenly quite far away from the point where the worm's body hit the ground in an attempt to squash him. Taking this opportunity, Leto leapt on to the back of the thing, looking for scales to hold on to.

"They'd bee eaten on Arrakis," Leto called back, then let go of one hand and held it out for Reno.

"Here!" Riding a worm was best done in company, after all. And this one was clearly not used to it.

"Not inadequate, just small!" Leto grinned, helping Reno. "As for steering - on Arrakis the worms react to the maker hooks. This one, I think we just have to hold on!"

The worm clearly didn't appreciate having two riders any more than one.

[Sorry for disappearing. Fell asleep. Now I'm going out for the night.]

Leto clung to the spikes on the worm's back, keeping an eye on Reno as well. The worm threw itself to the opposite side.

"If it rolls over, prepare to jump!"

A moment later Leto landed next to him.

"I believe that was a new experience for the worm."

"As the worms on Arrakis are quite different, I guess I could say the same. You have to visit some time and I'll show you." He was still grinning.

"So, let's look for some chocobos."

"There's always plenty of room," Leto replied. "Spirals?"

Leto nodded. "Lead the way, then. Best to look for the good birds."

They were going to have to adapt to life on Arrakis, after all.

Leto followed him. "So how do you judge the quality of a chocobo? Is it just stronger?"

[personal profile] future_sandworm 2011-05-29 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll look for that." Leto smiled, squinting towards the horizon.

"Perhaps I just want an excuse to visit later on," Leto replied. "Something is moving over there." He pointed ahead of them.
