Look!
[Without further preamble, Prompto holds his phone camera back to show what he's got cradled in the crook of his other arm: an egg that looks bigger than a chicken itself, so he for sure didn't get it from inside the station.]
It's a chocobo egg! Chocobo, I just know it! And I did the trick with the shell and the light and there's a baby inside, it's alive!
[He sets the phone down standing up and hugs the egg carefully and happily to his chest, grinning fit to split his face.]
I'm gonna be the best. Chocomom. Ever! I gotta introduce them to the girls downstairs, catch me there if you wanna say hi to baby in person!
[And for those who prefer more action-based interaction, Prompto will, in fact, be in the floor 2 chicken room, his egg held protectively in his lap with an arm always around it while he feeds and chatters to the chickens.
He's also taped a note to the chicken room door:]
ADOPT A CHICKEN!
Chickens are cute and don't grow very big, unlike basilisks and cockatrices. We lay the eggs you eat for breakfast and cook with! So please don't think about cooking us! We love you! Give us names and love us, too!

Time to go put her imperially mandated expertise to decidedly imperially unsanctioned use, she supposes.]
Quite a find you've turned up, there.
no subject
[At the very least, he seems determined to do his very best to keep the egg warm and safe, sitting as he is now on the floor with every part of him wrapped gently around it.]
There must be a really big hole between Eos and here, if me and Izunia and Noct and this little guy-slash-girl have all fallen through.
no subject
[He seems to have settled in with it; she goes over and goes to one knee nearby. Carefully, because the chickens seem pretty intent on getting underfoot.] May I see it?
no subject
[Since he trusts Jetshard, Prompto straightens up so she can see, though he keeps his arms loosely around it still. Mammalian child-rearing instincts sure are something else.]
Is it time for eggy's first checkup?
no subject
[And in theory, at least, she's pretty sure a large, hard-shelled egg should be pretty sturdy. It'll take some care, but she doesn't expect it needs extraordinary precautions.]
Have you figured out what to use for an incubator yet?
no subject
[That's a no.]
My. Bed? Noct and I could take turns keeping it warm.
no subject
Well, that's probably sufficient in the short term, but I'd really recommend some sort of artificial heat source if we can find something suitable. It'll help keep the temperature more consistent, and besides, trying to incubate if yourselves would be kind of hard on your social lives.
Bottom might have something that'll work, and if not, I can rig something up with supplies from the medbay.
no subject
[An idea strikes and he leans forward.]
Can it be portable so I can bring it with me places?
no subject

no subject
Until then, it's going to need relative peace and quiet, along with warmth. It's not good for it to be moved around all the time. Too much opportunity for something to go wrong.
no subject
[He's had this egg for less than a day and he already looks so reluctant to part with it. After a pause to come to terms with this, he picks his head up again.]
We can still at least incubate it in my room, right? There's space! [He can make there be space. He'll put his desk in the Armiger if he has to.]
no subject
[She draws back a bit, and withdraws her med kit from her sylladex with a brief flicker of an array of captchalogue cards. It takes a moment longer to rummage in the bag for what is unmistakably a stethoscope.]
Can I hold it for a moment?
no subject
[He hands his baby over with care, but he trusts Jetshard a lot.]
Will it already have a heartbeat, you think?
no subject
[She takes the egg just as carefully, holding it steady as she holds the stethoscope to the side of the shell. After listening thoughtfully for a moment, she nods.]
It's a little quiet, but there's definitely a regular heartbeat.
no subject
[He can feel his own heart in his chest. The mystery and miracle of a growing baby--it's incredible.]
That's good, right? Regular is good.
no subject
Regular is good. It means the heart's strong enough to get the blood where it needs to go without using up too much energy.
