But is Inigo complaining? Not really. It's not like he isn't looking out for the plants here that aren't even his own from time to time, if one plant is looking particularly miserable.. so it's not like he minds this idea either, especially if it might bring Tidus some joy. That part feels more important than anything else. ]
You mean something from Earth?
[ That's the place that Roland is from called, right? The entire world, rather than just Aremica itself. ]
Sure. Do you think the fruits from there could be so different from what we're used to though? I mean.. fruit is fruit! [ How different could otherworldly fruit be?!
It's a thought Inigo might come to regret. ]
no subject
Why would fruit be any different? [ Or in this case, not different? But Tidus's brain is already thinking on. ] We could see about food in Ylisse too... or how about we get flowers? Flowers from Ylisse. That's way more like you!
[ Is he entirely letting his mind go all over with ideas? Yes, he's gotten lost in the best representations of Inigo on the train (despite fruity being sufficient, too). ]
no subject
A truly sweet, considerate young man, trying to be good for his bestie.
But considering the very first thing Tidus mentions, and the connection Inigo's brain makes - despite what the other says only a moment later - there's only one thing Inigo can ask, staring at Tidus with the most baffled and potentially frightened look in his eyes. ]
Is there.. chocobo fruit in Spira..?
no subject
One second.
Two.
His gaze lifts, thinking. ]
...There's gysahl greens...?
[ does that
count? ]
no subject
.. But.. green..?
Inigo is starting to look more baffled by the minute. Mayday, mayday, his brain is getting fried..! ]
What's a gysahl? [ BRO, THE TRANSLATOR ISN'T WORKING. H-HELP, BRO! ]
no subject
Uh... the greens are leafs? So I guess the gysahl's a plant...? [ He makes a motion, waving his hand forward. ] Chocobos eat them, so you feed them them. I dunno anything about the plant - but the gysahl has to be some kind of vegetable or something, right?
[ Right??? Or it could even be a fruit plant!! ]
no subject
[ Granted, it's pretty normal for Tidus to not know. Like he said, it's not like he spent a whole lot of time in Spira, when said time might have been shorter than all the time he's spent on the train now. And he had better things to do there than to learn all about chocobos, most likely.
And yet this is Inigo, who doesn't think of those nuances, and instead just jumps straight into the overdramatic reaction. ]
I thought you loved those weird chickens! [ DUDE. ]
no subject
[ It's not Tidus's fault he didn't know he wasn't going to get a bollocking from a prince in the future about them!! ]
Well - how about I order them! Then we can grow them and find out!
[ Yeah!! ]
no subject
Not for the moment, at least.
He's too busy considering this plan, and then says: ]
Alright. I guess we can. [ He's kind of curious now, anyway. Inigo has absolutely no idea what to expect. But surely growing it can't be that hard, right..? ] Even though there's no chocobos here to feed it to.
[ Thank Naga. ]
.. can people eat it too? [ Time to shove it straight into Tidus's face once it's been grown. ]
no subject
I dunno - I never tried. [ Why would he eat chocobo food...! But at least he figures- ] We can give them to the rabbits to eat.
[ Because rabbits like greens. It's totally safe to shove random plant bits at animals, nothing can go wrong. ]
no subject
.. I guess that works. [ But Inigo is way too dumb to contest an idea like that. He's seen the rabbits eat just.. general green stuff, clearly that means they can eat it when it comes from other worlds too! ]
Just as long as we don't get any of those actual chickens here on the train. [ His tone takes on a quality that might be intended as serious, but instead just ends up sounding entirely overdramatic as he looks at Tidus - as usually happens with Inigo. ] Seriously. I'll scream.
no subject
But no, he's being fussy about the existence of chocobos again, and his puzzled expression changes to one more sulky, exasperated, unamused. His gaze somewhere other than Inigo, until it returns to his face. ]
I'm going to buy one.
[ Is this a decided voice? A voice of spite?? Time to perish, Inigo. ]
no subject
[ Maybe Inigo should know better. Because of course Tidus - of all people - would take that sort of thing as a challenge if presented just the right way. So perhaps reverse psychology would work much better, taking the fun out of all of this by not going along with it, or by pretending to not be worked up because of it..
But then again, Inigo is terrible at not responding like an impulsive idiot around Tidus, hence why the words leave his mouth before he's even really had time to consider them.
.. thankfully it seems that Inigo does know to provide a logical reason for his answer too, rather than just keeping it at a childish yes-no competition level. ]
You don't even have any space to keep one of those things around here!
no subject
I'll take it for walks in the garden! And play in the sports gym! [ Hah!!
Watch as he even defiantly folds his arms. ]
I think it sounds like a great idea!
no subject
.. or at least, Inigo thinks he's making it up on the spot? Oh no, what if Tidus has been imagining a secret chocobo plan all this time? Terrifying. ]
Where are you going to fit it in our room? We can hardly even stand next to the bed in the first place! I don't want a face of chicken butt in the morning!
[ That's way too cruel a fate. ]
no subject
[ Watch him make gestures of scooting something over near to the door. Just like that! ]
I kinda like this idea. [ Y'know...! ] You'd get to see a chocobo, and we can ride it once it grows up.
[ In fifty years. ]
no subject
But no, none of the complaints leave Inigo's mouth. Because instead he's much too distracted by something else, much like how the idea of those weird greens took up his entire brain capacity before.
It's why he just stares at Tidus as he slowly says: ]
They.. use a toilet..?
[ BRO, HE DIDN'T USE A TOILET BEFORE!
AND HE'S A HUMAN BEING. ]
no subject
He's going to learn to use a toilet tray! You want something pooping around our room? On the bed? [ Which is basically what the room is?? ] It's going to do it in its toilet tray! That's what you do with pets!
[ Granted, he's not quite comprehending the baffled response comes from the idea given that chocobos are usually potty-trained. But as if Tidus knows what people do with chocobos!
But who says you can't teach a chocobo to use a prepared toilet space!! ]
no subject
Inigo can't even imagine Tidus potty training a chocobo. His brain can't even conjure forth the image.
It's impossible. ]
Wouldn't our whole room smell like pee?! All the time?!
[ Look at these genuine concerns. ]
no subject
Well how does everyone else do it?! There's rabbits on board, sheep, big fluffy round ball things - you don't hear anyone else complaining about the smell in their rooms!
[ Why is a pee smell going to be a problem now?! ]
no subject
I don't know! Maybe they just let theirs run around and poo everywhere!
[ .. though he does have to admit that it's not often that he just comes across a pile of poo on the train, so.. maybe not..? ]
What are you even going to do with that thing when we go on a mission?! [ Sure, other people leave theirs behind, but Inigo refuses to believe that chicken isn't going to wreck the place. Those things are evil. ]
no subject
But here comes the new apparent obstacle, which brings his brows back down low, incredulous turning into disbelief. ]
Leave them on the train? [ Like other people do with pets? ] --what's your real problem?
[ C'mon, c'mon. ] Would you be saying all this if it was about a dog? What's so bad about chocobos in your brain? You've never been around one!
no subject
[ And somehow that sounds so insistent that it sounds like he's telling the truth, rather than just automatically saying that because it goes against what Tidus is saying here..
(Because he totally would have done the latter if what he was saying right now wasn't so true.) ]
Back in Kamakan! [ Sure, it was an illusion chocobo, but that counts! All the other illusions seemed very real too! ] I was standing right next to it! Those were the worst moments of my entire life!
[ Okay, that last part might be a little overdramatic after all. ]
1/2
Back in Kamakan--
--worst moments of my entire life! ]
no subject
I'm getting the fattest chocobo and letting it sleep in our bed. [ No buts, no nothing. Tidus makes appears from his arms a snack in waiting and bites into it - a cookie, most likely. He's now lost all interest in paying attention to Inigo as he looks around for the multiple higgledy, and their messing around with the plants.
This conversation is over. Their bedroom fate has been set. ]
