The second that monster even began to approach Gaara, Luke was moving in that direction. Being in the class with the fastest speed, it didn't even require Luke to move as quickly as he could have. With ease, he was attacking the flying creature from behind, and then whipping around to place himself between the Buer and Gaara. After landing another attack, he watched the monster drop to the ground. It was almost done for; Luke used that moment to steal an item from it, before landing a final blow.
Unfortunately, it seemed another pair of monsters were wandering up- two Geezards, as he'd heard them called, before. Luke couldn't suppress the light smirk; he'd fought plenty of those in the past, and that particular monster was a...joke. Either way, he was saving them for last. It didn't take too long to defeat the other Buer (he attempted to steal from it, but failed- he decided not to waste time, due to the risk of Gaara being attacked during his attempt), before moving onto the incredibly weak creatures. Even though the first managed to land a couple of attacks on him, he was able to withstand it while defeating the second.
Finally...moving onto the last Geezard, Luke defeated it with ease- and, hey, he even managed another potion!
Grinning with relief at the battle having gone smoothly, he wiped his forehead with the back of his arm. Then, after returning his sword to its sheath, he folded his arms over his chest. He quietly watched his companion with a light smile, as he managed to catch the giant bird. Well, it looked to be a job well done...
Only after the bird was allowing Gaara to pet it, did Luke pick Gaara's staff up and approach the pair...slowly. He made sure to remain calm as he reached a hand up to scratch the chocobo on the side of its neck; he chuckled as it made a noise to express liking that. Well, it was nice to see that one wasn't going to attack. To Gaara's question, Luke paused, appearing to think. Then, without explanation, he handed Gaara his staff. Quietly, he walked around to the opposite side of the animal, gesturing for Ion to follow him. The moogle gave a "kupo!" and fluttered over to him.
Luke patted the side of the bird as warning- the only warning. With an agile leap, he was suddenly seated on the chocobo. He was only going from what he'd seen other people doing; changing classes hadn't taken away his tendency to just...do things. After he wasn't violently thrown off, he couldn't help but grin in relief. Something about being atop the somewhat...gently animal was exciting. The chocobo seemed almost eager to be on its way, too. The second, Luke had hopped on, it'd make a sound that seemed happy, with one leg lifting in anticipation. Well, Luke could take a hint.
Smiling down at Gaara, he let out a soft laugh, "No, but," he reached out a hand, the other firmly gripping those thick feathers, "we can figure it out, together, right?"
