Zelda looked up from her loftwing, the large bird nuzzling at her side to somehow regain her lost attention. Her lips curled into a soft smile at the sight of Jade. She spent so much time in the old building that she’d go weeks without seeing her friends. Even with a battle looming she was happy to see Jade.

“As much as I can be, I can’t seem to get her to leave the tower.” The loftwing had been using the top of the observatory as its home since only Zelda would venture up so high. It seemed more than a little reluctant to leave.

Zelda sighed softly as the bird began to nip at the hem of her dress. “Are you ready?”

"As ready as can be expected." Truthfully, they knew too little about what was coming to be truly prepared. A battle of some kind, no doubt, but against what?

Jade watched the loftwing with interest as it tried to keep Zelda's attention to itself. He hadn't had the chance to see the bird up close before. Animals could certainly grow to impressive sizes.

"Hmm. Is it normal for her to disobey you?"

Zelda looked over and shook her head. “No but I’ve never forced her to listen to me either.” She won’t force her loftwing to do anything it didn’t want to do. It was its own self and she wanted it to feel the freedom they both sought after.

“I rarely leave the city without her and she’s able to sense that something is off which has her worried.” The bond they share was deep though Zelda didn’t think she’d have to explain it for it to be obvious. They’ve been together for most of their lives.

A hand lightly glides against her light blue feathers as her eyes turned back towards Jade. “Are you used to dealing with animals?” She also had a magical touch with chocobo’s thanks to her background with her loftwing.

"Is that so? She must be quite loyal to stay in spite of her anxiety."

Jade didn't get too close. Best not to assume the bird would be as friendly with a stranger. Zelda's question drew a wry smile from him.

"Well... From a scientific point of view, yes. You could say that." Actually, Jade had rather liked animals as a child. That was why he had spent far too much time dragging their corpses home so he could see how they worked. He had enough tact not to mention that right now. "I've never been one for keeping pets, though."
