[Pushing between the demon and the chocobo, Materia grabbed her mount around the neck and deliberately picked both feet off the ground, hanging her full weight from the female's neck. The chocobo stumbled, squawked, and left off tormenting the boy for the time being, staggering back a step and craning her neck around to give Materia an I was just taking out the trash! look.]
Bad bird! Bad!
[It was hard to tell if the way the green chocobo's crest went flat was a sign of shame, or a simple you have got to be kidding me, but go flat it did. Materia let go of her neck and planted her feet again, one hand on her hip and the other pointing back at Night, making her small body as big as she could and scowling at her mount.]
No biting him! No pecking, no nothing, okay? That is my rival and I'm the only one who's allowed to go after him, and if you peck him or any of my friends again I'm gonna tell 'em they can keep you and pick that blue ditz instead!
[The green chocobo tilted her head. You wouldn't. Materia pursed her lips. I so totally would. Was it possible for a chocobo to roll its eyes? Materia didn't think so, but she could swear...well, anyway, whatever she'd done, the big bird followed it up by dropping her head to go back to grazing choice greens, as if nothing had happened.
Materia took that moment to plunge onto her knees by Night, fretting.]
