For anyone walking by Cecil’s room in South Anemone, they probably would have heard loud splashing sounds coming from the bathroom. At the moment, Cecil was in there trying to give his white chocobo a bath. Things were not going as planned however. He was expecting Rosa to come by any second now; hopefully he'd left his door unlocked, because he had his hands full right now.

"Ivory! Hold still," Cecil said through gritted teeth, wincing as her claws dug more firmly into his hands. She was just a baby, but her claws were nevertheless still quite sharp. Ivory had been curious about the pancakes Cecil had been eating at his computer desk earlier, and decided to investigate. The end result of this inquisitiveness was his plate toppling onto the ground and her getting syrup all over her back. Cecil had tried cleaning her off with some paper towels from the kitchen, but that just made the mess even worse. Hence, the bath. He'd only filled the bathtub with a few inches of water, but Ivory was still terrified and struggled with all her might to escape, flapping wildly. She pecked at his hands and looked dolefully up at him with her powder blue eyes. "Kweh?"

Smiling, Cecil finished de-syruping her with the warm, soapy water and then wrapped her up in a soft, fluffy towel. He stood up, cradling her carefully. "There now, that wasn't so bad. Was it?"

An indignant reply.

"Kweh."

Rosa was happy to go see Cecil and his new baby chocobo, and wasted no time on getting herself to his new quad to see said baby chocobo and her friend. Once she got there, she knocked quietly, but heard the commotion coming from the room. With a smile, she went inside just as quietly as she had knocked, only to see Cecil being pecked (assumedly trying to be pecked to death by Ivory) by the chocobo. At least it was making her smile!

Still, once he was done and had picked up the chocobo, Rosa finally started to laugh, casting Cure on Cecil to heal the scratches and peck marks that Ivory had inflicted on him. "It seems she doesn't like baths much, Cecil. She seems very feisty, as well."

It didn't take her long to close the distance between them at this point, to get a better look at the small bird that Cecil held. "She's very pretty. Aren't you?" With a smile, Rosa placed her hand gently on the bird's head affectionately.

Cecil hadn't heard her knock, nor did he hear her come in, but he recognized that laughter immediately. Still smiling, he turned around and greeted his friend warmly. "Hi, Rosa." He was thankful for the healing spell she cast on him. He didn't have any free hands to cast one on himself, and the scratch marks had begun to twinge a little bit. Cecil shook head with sigh, glancing down at Ivory.

"She is. But it's a good lesson ― hopefully she'll know better than to go attacking my pancakes when I'm not looking next time." He tickled the back of her neck gently and started to dry her off.

At Rosa's question Ivory looked up at her, tilting her head to the side curiously. It was obvious she enjoyed the attention she was getting, for she chirruped loudly at Rosa's touch, then wriggled around to nibble at her fingers lightly. Not finding any food there, she glanced up at Rosa, looking mildly scandalized.

"Oh? She was eating your pancakes? Well, perhaps that was her way of telling you to make her some too, next time." The thought of that made Rosa laugh again. Who knew a bird would try to eat pancakes? Perhaps she was a fan and Cecil and his not sharing his pancakes had just offended the chocobo? The possibility wasn't there (or was it?), but it was funny to try to imagine anyway. Still, she watched as Cecil dried the bird off, and looked to him as he did so.

"Though, besides the problem with pancakes aside, it looks as if she's taken a liking to you." She chuckled as Ivory gave her such a look leaning down to get closer to her. "I'm sorry. I probably don't taste very good, do I? I'm sure we can find you something good to eat, though. Something that doesn't involve syrup to get you sticky again. That means no more baths."

Hm, but what did chocobos eat? Greens, she supposed, but could they get any of those here?
