They better keep those fuckin' opinions...outta my ear. Or I'll fuck 'em up.

I suspect that he'd rather enjoy it if you tried.

[a moody grunt.] Gross. Buncha fuckin' weirdos...

He's a character, at the least.

[another noise, more through the nose. more Antigone-coded than Scarlet-coded, that one.]

I'll pass. [never mind having already fucking endured said horse's company more than once. BY THE SCRUFF!!!!!!]

I suppose time will tell as to whether he agrees with you then.

[.,...?]

What, like I have to? Don't introduce me to your weird friends.

I have naught to do with it, the fellow can appear wherever he wishes.

Nnrh. I'm throwing him at you if it happens, then.

I would instead suggest throwing a carrot or apple at him. It would be more effective.

[ Sleipnir seems to like him, sort of, he thinks? But he isn't so sure his world's sole and only horse can be made into a projectile. ]

[a faint noise.]

You're funny now, too, huh...

He is a horse.

[a pause.]

...Seriously?

Yes. Or more accurately, in our world he is the horse. The only one.

Did the other horses...die?

No other horses existed, so far as I understand it. We have chocobos.

What a fuckin' nightmare. [Knife hates those birds.] Guess it saves on metal, no horseshoes.

Horse shoes?

Mn. Gotta put iron weights on hooves for...[... uhhh ...] ...Ssssssome fuckin' reason. I dunno, I'm not a horse-haver, I just seen it done. Hammerin' on their feet n' stuff.

That sounds cruel.

I dunno! Could be their favorite thing in the fuckin' world! I figure if it was all that awful, hordes of druids would've risen up to, I dunno, liberate the horses from their shoes. My business was just not gettin' fuckin' kicked by them!

[beat.]

Then again, assholes get away with all kinds of fuckin' bullshit every day and nobody raises a proper sniff about it. Those that do get their asses beat one way or another, probably.

Perhaps it would be worth asking Sleipnir's opinion on the subject some time. I know not whether he is familiar with that practice, but I imagine he would have thoughts.

In any case, Chocobos indeed do not have metal affixed to their feet. They may be outfitted with armor before battle if they're war chocobos, but that is only worn.
