Of course, Luke was going to act impulsively, as expected. Gaara quirked a brow in his direction, but said nothing to indicate his inner thoughts. It was likely that Luke would already know his stance, given the amount of interaction they had shared, thus far. He watched with avid interest, as Luke tamed the animal easily, using its feathers as leverage and support. Wouldn’t it be more prudent to ride them with the proper equipment, such as a saddle and harness?
“Kupo!” His moogle squeaked just then; she seemed fascinated by the chocobo, from the way she was flitting around it. She flapped her small wings and flew up to settle down onto the rear end of the large creature, right next to Ion.
“…Mmm.” Hesitation creased his brows briefly, and then Gaara accepted the invitation, climbing atop the chocobo with help from his comrade.
Sitting behind Luke, he had to adjust his robes to part his legs enough to place them on both sides of the chocobo. Keeping a tight grip on his staff, he slung his other arm around Luke’s waist, for security purposes. Had they not been given enough time and circumstances to become more familiar with each other, contact-wise, he wouldn’t have held onto Luke in this manner. On a baser level, he did recognize the necessity of it, lest he risk falling off the chocobo in the midst of transportation.
“Begin slowly,” he cautioned Luke in a steady tone.
