Oh what a ride!

Hanahime day 29

Today Hanahime turned into an adult. He has a long beak, so he looks a little different than his father Momo. We took a long walk today and met Brutus, he was walking with Brilliant. Hime and Brilliant quickly became friends.

I traveled to Sand'Oria to speak to Hantileon about a chocobo whistle. He told me to check my bond with Hime. And that sometimes chocobos hide things and if I check when he was not looking I might be able to find a dirty handkerchief. I quickly made my way back to Bastok using my trickstaff II. Hime and I took a short walk near a waterfall. He turned to look at the water and I noticed something on the ground, it was the dirty handkerchief. Upon returning from our walk I rented a chocobo and went back to Sand'Oria. Hantileon gave me a chocobo whistle. I returned to Bastok, Zapago let me register Hime and prepared a saddle for Hime.

Hime and I went for a little ride to the lighthouse that is right outside of Bastok Mines. We enjoyed the ocean view in the moonlight, as we watched the moon rise in the sky. Hime and I have many more adventures and places to look forward to. But I am sure we will always remember this moonlit first ride.


Chic so cute.
Chic looks like a smaller cuter version of Momo. I hope to get a picture of Chic and Hime together soon. They have played many times together at Kamp Kweh. But they grew up in different cities. Chic lives at the Sand'Oria stables. The training in Sand'Oria is helping her become a very strong chocobo. I'm sure Hime's little older sister(Chic) can out run him.

A journey to Selbina

The night lights of Selbina.

Selbina is a nice quiet town. The ship that goes to Mhaura was in the dock and the lamps at the waterfront were lit.

Only the Best

A while back when I first visited Selbina I met Melyon, he takes care of sheep. He mentioned that he needed food for his sheep. The regional vendor in Bastok Port had some La Theine Cabbages in stock so I bought a few stacks and got an outpost warp to Valkurm Dunes. The walk to Selbina is not very far from the outpost and is a lot faster than riding a chocobo to Selbina from Bastok.

MOO!! Sheep!

I was a bit shocked at the amount of cabbages Mee and Baa ate. I wonder if Mee eats Baa's food. Mee is so much larger than Baa.


More BUNNIES!

I decided to test out my polearm in Dunes. And what did I find outside of Selbina? BUNNIES!!
I had a bit of fun with some Sand Hares. They hop so much and move so fast. Stab... poke... swipe... I had to be quick with my spear.

Bunnies went flying left and right. The bunnies tried all their normal moves to try and attack me. Kicking up sand in my eyes to blind me and running in a large circle to give their attacks more force. But I was able to get a few more hare meat. I'll give the meat to my moogle to store away for another day. I think it is time to go hunt some sheep meat and maybe some sheepskins. Some sheep meat sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll do some fishing sometime, that way I can make some sushi. I like sushi. There is nothing better than fresh fish.

I took the outpost back to Bastok. I've been staying close to town so that I can care for Hime. He is doing very well. I am looking forward to teaching him Canter. Hime has a sister named Petite Chic. Their parents are Gale Wind and Momo Momo. Hime is progressing slower than Chic. Chic is only three or four days older than Hime, and already knows Canter and Gallop.
