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.

Tuh...Some asshole lobbed a whole-ass bird at me without the armor and that was annoying enough; keep 'em naked, thanks.

Someone threw a chocobo at you?

Fucked up, right? In the hospital and everything. A house of healing. Pah!

Who did such a thing?

Fuckin' Shadow. Small guy. Black n' red. Been absent for a hot minute for...whatever reasons. Can't imagine he's dead, he's too chock-full of bullshit power for that.

Oh, the grumpier of the two? I met him before.

It does not surprise me that it should be him.

Tried to make me his fuckin' toady or some shit, shovin' all these damn tasks on me. [she huffs.] Dropped me from a death-height, too. Like I didn't have enough problems, y'know?

And yet...problems worse'n that keep croppin' up, so he may as well do me a fuckin' solid and clean some of this shit up.

He may yet return, as others have.

Have they? Like, for real? Where do they go? Is there like...a jail under the jail?

Back to their place and time, supposedly.

[????]

Why?

Why get zapped back and then...yanked back here? What the fuck for? Like, tactically speaking.

Oh, I would love to know that as well.

[ Especially considering Joshua's circumstances. ]

How anyone believes there's logic to this shit is... [there's a dull thump, then a grunting noise. ow.

exhale.] Whatever. Bitching about it's pointless. Who cares.

It all is more than a little mad, isn't it?

It'd be easier to fuckin' figure that out if we had more than a spec of reliable information, but. Whatever. Not gonna get it in this hellhole! Need to--oh. Hey. How's your uh...you know shit about plants at all, by chance?
