P-please! Please quiet down! I am at my wit's end! I beseach you! Speak your need! Who is your mother? Where are they? Tis certainly not me!

-She sounds desperate.-

Agrias! Help me!

[immovable]

Eh? Whatever is the matter, milady? You are claiming and screaming strange things. Tell me, what has gone amiss now?

[ofnovalue]

There is an egg! It cries as if it were a child!

[immovable]

....Milady, surely you tease me. Are you developing an odd sense of humor we arrived? Eggs make no noise save for when the Chocobo is ready to hatch.

[ofnovalue]

What reason would I have to lie!?

[immovable]

My sincerest apologies, my liege. I was merely wondering if perhaps the monotony of this place was driving you to pranking to pass the time.

[She bows deeply]

Perhaps I should see this egg; the last time I was around one was on the battlefield, but I can see what I can do.

[ofnovalue]

Please do. I am at wit's end.

[immovable]

Whereabouts is it? I will head there immediately.

[Cleaning up and getting ready. If it is a Chocobo, then at least they can traverse the whole gardens in one turn.]

[ofnovalue]

... I'm in my bedroom.

... Allow me a moment to dress.

[immovable]

[Yes, okay, covering her eyes and blushing a bit, turning her back and waiting for you to give word]

A-at your command, milady, take your time.

[grandtheftmecha]

Unfortunately, you and some other lucky lady are its mothers.

[ofnovalue]

... Surely you jest.

[grandtheftmecha]

I'd bet my life savings that that's exactly the situation you're in.

[ofnovalue]

I refuse!

[grandtheftmecha]

Then toss it in a lake and forget about it, I guess.

[ofnovalue]

... Twould be unbecoming of someone of my status to simply abandon responsibility.

[grandtheftmecha]

It's either that, or you find the other mother and take care of it.

Unless you wanna try destroying it.

[ofnovalue]

I doubt such actions would work in my favor.

[cleaningstop]

Are you sure it's not you?

[ofnovalue]

Women of my world do not lay eggs.

[cleaningstop]

No! I meant the mother!

Or at least one of them...

[ofnovalue]

How can I be mother to an egg?

[cleaningstop]

... The same way I seem to have become one?

[ofnovalue]

How troublesome...

[cleaningstop]

Maybe it's only for a little while,

[ofnovalue]

One certainly hopes so.
