Kit looks alarmed for a moment before she hears Diarmuid giggling. Then she sighs a bit in relief and giggles herself. Persephone glares after the chocobos that rushed inside, then follows at a more dignified pace as Kit and Salali lead her inside, as if determined to show the others how a proper chocobo should act.
Inside, the chocobos Dairmuid brought go to join a number of others already there, most of them clustered around the building's heat vents and fluffing their feathers repeatedly in an attempt to get dry. Diarmuid may well see one horse there as well, standing among the birds. The floor has been scattered with a thin layer of straw, and larger piles of it are scattered here and there along the side walls. Along the far wall, large tubs of fresh water and feed have been set up. It's obviously hastily arranged, but serviceable enough. And most importantly well above the potential waterline.
Kit sighs and lowers her hood, climbing off Salali's back. She gives both Salali and Persephone a gentle pat. "Good girls," she says. "Go join your friends. We'll bring the rest of them up in a minute."
She lets both birds go, then turns back to Diarmuid. The only thing available is a slightly tattered old blanket draped over a nearby rail, so she offers him that to get the worst of the mud off. "Here,this should help for now," she says. "We''ll worry about getting them unharnessed... and cleaning up better... a little later. Right now we need to get the rest of them, but one more trip should do it. Ready?"
Think we should wrap this one in another couple tags?
