Anyone on the beach that afternoon would have seen something fairly unusual, even for the island of Tabula Rasa. Two giant birds, one a sweet and mellow yellow, the other a glistening black, milled around in the sand, pecking for bits of creatures buried there. On a rock nearby sat a young female ninja, arms and legs crossed

She offered a small smile as she made her way up to where Yuffie sat and the Chocobos explored. Perhaps all Chocobo breeders went through Yuffie's frustrations. Perhaps they were both simply shy.

Either way, she sat down on a nearby rock, and planted Kyokyo on her lap. "Maybe they're being shy."

"How'd you get Cloud to open up?" Yuffie demanded. "I seem to remember you making a lot of googly eyes his way early on. And he didn't run away or anything, so you must have some skills."

Yuffie would obtain those skills.

Aeris glanced over at Yuffie curiously. Cloud was never shy so much as he was quiet. "It was a team effort. We all chipped in to build his trust and tell him it was okay to be himself."

She tilted her head a fraction of an inch. "Why do you ask?"

[wutaiheart]

"Well, can't you work your relationship magic on the birds? Is it a Cetra thing?" Oooh, it would be, too. Maybe they'd all been this touchy-feely and that's why they'd died off.

She'd never ever say such a thing, of course.

She giggled at the statement. The Planet had said the Cetra had never really been relationship people--too busy in communion and study of the Planet to spend very much time cultivating interpersonal relationships.

But they were very friendly, and she shared some of her father's genetics, as well.

"I don't know. Maybe you should give them some time to get to know each other?"

[wutaiheart]

"I guess," she said reluctantly. "Ugh, just my luck. We never had this problem with them at home, you know. It was easy. Maybe it was a sense of urgency and danger..."

She'd read that it turned people on.

She propped her hands on a rock behind her, and leaned backward. "Well...maybe its because they're not at home anymore? They're lonely, and maybe Zack hasn't gotten used to being away from the Planet yet?"

If she were a Chocobo, a sudden change like Zack had gone through would give her pause.
