Scared? Yeah right. [Sonia]

[Oerba Yun Fang]

WHY SHOULD I WORRY? WHY SHOULD I CARE?
I MAY NOT HAVE A DIME, BUT I GOT STREET SAVOIR FAIRE

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

• Fang had left Oerba for a bit to get away from the festivities and relax a bit. It would always do her a bit of good to get out into the fresh air of Pulse every now and again. The grasses beneath her feet brushed gently against her leg, tickling the smooth tanned skin that was stretched taut over her well muscled body. She was the epitome of what Gran Pulse used to be. The people whom used to reside there were in her opinion the toughest of the people, unlike cocoon's residents which were coddled by their fal'cie, Humans on Gran Pulse were forced to eat or be eaten, either way Fang didnt mind cocoon to much anymore, seeing as a certain soldier girl and her cocoon friends helped her prevent Vanille from becoming a cie'th. Either way, right now all that mattered was a good walk and maybe a fight to stretch her muscles, and get some real food into her stomach.
  
  
• Above, her all sorts of flying creatures squawked and cried out amongst themselves trying to do whatever it was those bird brained creatures did. Around her on the ground various predators stalked the open plains, however it wasnt the plains that she was aiming to relax in, even though it could be rather relaxing after all nothing beat watching the panoramic view out on the Archlyte Steppe. Smiling to herself as she felt a rustling in her hip pack caused by the little Pulsian chocobo that had decided to call her 'mother', she chuckled as it hopped out and ran easily beside her, peeping all the while. Fang laughed quietly at the excited chocobo chick as it continued to run about on the steppe. It seemed many of the predators here had been pre-occupied with bigger kills so the chick wouldnt be targeted.
  
  
• The thought of being out here again like she used to be was quite honestly a happier thought. Maybe one day she could get her village repaired and show.. Sunshine, Hero-boy, Kiddo and even the Old man what her home looked like back when it was in its glory. Oerba meant a lot to the woman, however her thought process was interrupted when she heard a distinct yelp from a woman not to far away. Turning she saw a person, who had seemingly surrounded herself with a ring of yellow Pulsian Chocobos, Fang blinked. How the hell could someone pull off a stunt like this. The chick had run off in the direction of other chicks nearby and so she walked over to the ring of chocobos and patted on gently on its side, urging it to move for her which the animal did. Fang looked at this.. odd woman. She was acting afraid but to be honest, it didnt fool her.. or impress her. "Get yer pretty little ass up, and stop harassin these poor things. I can tell yer not afraid of 'em and yer just tryin to get a pitty party going" Fang studied her, she swore she had seen this woman before.

[Sonia Valice]

Honestly, why the hell did this damn bird brains even want to be near her in the first place? There she was, walking, minding her own business, then this flock just came to her and started to act friendly. It was a dumb ploy, even she had to admit, to act scared of the chocobo but she was convinced no one else would see her play such a dumb ploy.

Sonia wanted to discover why these chocobos were so friendly, and wondering if she could use them to her advantage. Wild chocobos were wild, but fast, and would aid her well in travel, and possibly lunch later on. However, her ploy and struck down, once more, by a...wild woman. Sonia didn't know the woman but she was definitely local, not like that...stranger. Nor the people on Cocoon.

Sonia had a choice - to continue to act or to drop the ploy. Wild chocobos were unpredictable so she decided to treat them like her sister - drop the ploy gently as to not startle them. She really didn't have the strength to deal with the woman and rampaging chocobos."Pity party? I was just off, in attempt to grab some foliage for a fire when they...came upon me suddenly. I was...shocked. And I still am."

Sonia didn't know the gaze, with such strength before, so carefully guarded her eyes, trying hard, but not too hard, in attempt to make Fang believe. "Even a local like me isn't...used to being such close to wild creatures. My mum used to tell me that a startled chocobo pack could hurt someone really bad. I'm just glad that they weren't startled when I was shocked."

Normal, typical female, blathering on and on, making the 'fear' slowly melt away. Sonia didn't train her eyes on her, as if she was wary of her, with that folded up lance and all. But because of this, Sonia was unable to make any clear judgments on this strange local. But her words striked her as bold, and definitely full of confidence and someone that would definitely not like her if she knew who she was.

A chocobo stirred as Sonia jumped a bit, staring at the chocobo that moved. However, the movement was genuine, unable to keep it in, for Sonia saw that chocobo with red demonic eyes and a crazed grin. Sonia closed her eyes and sighed, relieving herself. It was happening again - the illusions she kept seeing ever since she went through the Calamity.
