Stephanie asked awkwardly, which was never this awkward, she was a strong confidant woman, but this w

A baby chocobo looked up at Reno and cooed softly, trying to flap its little wings in a vain attempt to reach the Turks lap.  The baby bird struggled at its task but eventually was resourceful enough to jump up onto different items within the office and come to rest in Reno's lap. "Kewark!" is squawked adorably. Finally settled, the Second in Command was able to inspect the tiny animal, finding a note hanging around the birds neck.  It read, "You are devilishly hands, think you can make this cute chocobo handsome like you?"   The Turk had to admit that he jumped a bit when the random little baby chocobo hopped into his lap.  The redhead was
