[You've done this before, huh? Materia's hands stilled on the buckles for a moment. Yeah, that...that made sense, actually. She did remember riding chocobos, so she must know how to saddle one, and how to mount up, right?]
'Kay, see ya!
[Pulling the last few straps snug - but not too tight! - she reached up and pulled the chocobo's head close, whispering to her.]
Be good for me, okay? 'Cause if I biff it the first time I try riding you, that veggie-head is never gonna forget it. [She grinned.] Let's show him how cool you are with a real rider, okay?
[Taking a deep breath for luck, she put one foot in the stirrups, reached up to grab the saddle horn - don't think don't think just do it - and swung into the saddle, settling herself in place. The chocobo took a step back, then another one, then steadied when she reached down and patted her neck. Hoo boy, it was high up here!]
Good girl. Yup, that's right, staaay calm. Okay, one step at a time...
[Was she talking to herself or the chocobo? Deciding she didn't care, Materia clicked her tongue at her mount and carefully trotted her out the door, waving to Night. Looking good so far...!]
