Hale is new, aye. I had to capture him this week, and he has yet to stop rebelling. Also, I also "stink" of horsebird as well, my own previous chocobo Hayt.

[He patted Hale and it seemed to calm a little.] I do not think he likes the smell of another chocobo on me, especially since Hayt was a girl at that. He might get jealous I am riding another one usually.

[The Adventurer chuckled.] Your familiarity with your chocobo suggests a rider, a regular one at that. Are you one of those, what was it, Chocobo "Riders"? No, that is wrong. The ishgardians had a name for it--ah! Chocobo Knights. That's it.
