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!

I'm no expert on birds, but if it's well developed enough that you could see it by candling the egg, I think there's a pretty good chance that the circulatory system is working by now.

[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.

[She's a little leery of overstating her expertise - she isn't any too familiar with the health of birds, let alone bird eggs - but she's confident enough in her reading of the situation. She nods.]

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.
