I Don't Carrot All For This Quest
WHO: Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear, OPEN
WHAT: The Old Man at the Chocobo Farm needs help harvesting greens before the first snowfall. Natalia accepts this quest so that she, too, may one day be a Santa Claus. She'll wrangle anyone she can get her hands on to helping the Old Man, since letting chocobos starve is deplorable. This might be enough to sway her into pursuing a chocobo of her own for easier transport. There may also be monsters in the fields. Bring out your prompts!
WHEN: Early to mid November
WHERE: Chocobo Farm and Nearby
It wasn't as if Natalia were ill-prepared for the hard days of labor ahead of her. She knew how hard her own people worked to provide the capital of Baticul with good food, surely this could be no different. She was also healthy and accustomed to traveling outdoors since joining the little group that was working so hard to save the world of Auldrant.
But that didn't mean the work wasn't hard. She toiled diligently, dirt rubbed into the knees of her leggings, her leather gloves dirty and smeared as she pulled up the plants and laid them in the large wicker basket that she carried from row to row. Everything had to be pulled up and preserved before the first snows of winter came down, so there was no time to waste.
Her muscles ached terribly, particularly her shoulders and back. She had to resist the urge to wipe the sweat from her brow lest she smear her face with more dirt and grime. While it was cold outside, the constant movement and physical labor kept her plenty warm. When she returned home, she was often filthy, sweaty, and very tired. Her stomach growled, but she refused to enter any dining establishments when she was in such a dreadful state. Only after she was bathed and dressed in suitable attire did she make her way to the cafe. There were some nights where she simply didn't eat, too tired to even think of food.
And yet, all the while, Natalia never made one word of complaint. This was a job that needed to be done, and she would do it. It was as simple as that. Until she finished, she wasn't going to give it any less than all of her best. Besides, the sooner she finished, the sooner she could equip the Santa Claus job and return to Trano Golsaucia to resume her efforts of fortifying the city.

"You're acquainted with Sora as well, it seems." He was such a friendly fellow, she found it hard to imagine anyone he wouldn't swiftly get to know better. "What brings the two of you here?"
no subject
"Oh yes, Sora and I are from the same world, and he's done so much for me." She sits up so she can properly talk with Natalia, and when the chocobo chick in her cloak complains again, she lifts it into her arms to cuddle. "I'm not used to fighting, and he thought it would be a good idea for me to start learning, so we set out today to gain some experience together. He's off on his own for a little bit, though. He'll learn more quickly without having to worry about me."
no subject
Always with the princess lectures. It was no wonder she was unpopular with many of the veteran Heroes of Light, they likely already believed they knew all they needed to know without her unwanted advice.
"Are there any weapons that you've considered favoring?" Natalia asked, brushing some of the hay off of her tunic. She'd fetch her belongings in a moment, but for now, she was concerned about her friend if she was being left to idle as a chocobo babysitter instead of being granted an opportunity to begin her training at once.

The chocobo chick lets out a little wark at this point, which reminds Naminé of one of the ideas she'd been toying with for a while.
"I was thinking about taking on the Chocobo Knight job, or maybe the Archer job." The latter was Sora's suggestion, in fact. "I think I would be better suited for support from the back of the team."
no subject
She'd started to turn toward her belongings again, but stopped at the mention of wanting to become an archer. Natalia turned her head to look at Naminé, then turned the rest of herself as well.
"While I confess I know little of chocobos or the knights who ride them, I am considered one of the best archers in my kingdom. If you wish to learn, I would be happy to offer lessons and tips as you see fit." She made the claim plainly, for while she wasn't inclined to brag, she also had no intentions of undercutting the results of years of training and study. She'd earned her title as a master of Lanvaldear-style archery and was proud of her accomplishments.
