Zelda quickly tried to settle the bird before looking over at the boy with a sweet smile. "I'm sorry if I startled you."

She gave the boy a wink before turning her smile up at the bird. "To be honest, I wanted to get a closer look too." She traced her fingers over the smoothness of it's feathers until she found the spot that the chocobo wanted scratched. The bird made a happy noise as she gently scratched right under it's neck.
