But Ikki is a phoenix and he said I could get the worms from the bait and give it to the chick and he said if I don't put it on my head it'll be too cold and die and I don't want to kill it Lea!
Ikki is a human being who apparently doesn't know that chicks crap on everything they touch and don't have stomachs big enough to eat bait worms. You can keep in the the towel in the box for now, but you're gonna have to talk to someone about getting some sorta heat source for it. It's gonna need some grain and maybe some little pieces of bugs or worms or something and you're gonna need to get it water to drink and some gritty sand in a bowl so it can digest its food.
[He can't believe he remembers all this crap. Amazing what a little trauma can do for a guy.]
No you're not! You're not giving out any more names with X's in them and you're sure as hell not giving out MINE!
[Okay, so maybe it's mostly superstition at this point, but there's no way of knowing how far Xehanort's reach actually goes. Not that he'd want a chicken. Or maybe he would. Creepy bastard.]
Maybe, but you're gonna need a chicken-to-human translator.
[Has Marco seriously not told Roxas about that whole deal yet? It's not Lea's secret to spill, but things are going to go south fast if this keeps up.]
[From his tone, Lea might be able to guess there's some venting coming his way.]
So this guy was talking about a ball on the journal right and he was all 'let's infiltrate' but he wouldn't tell me why unless I went over there so I went over there and he's telling me his plan and it's the stupidest plan you've ever heard, I mean really. He wants people to dress up and interact with the people there or go in as staff, right? That's dumb because people always expect you to know things and really, what do I know about any of that stuff?
[He huffs a little, it's still mildly annoying.]
Then he's like oh well you can pick what you want to do Roxas and I tried to tell him it'd be better to go in in secret right? I mean, recon's not all that hard but once you start making it complicated it can go wrong but he doesn't care and he tells me to pick and well, it's all stupid but orders are orders...

Action
[After checking to make sure his new little friend is clean, he sets it up on the top of the mess of hair on his head, then sets to work cleaning up.]
And I have to feed it bait.
Action
Get it off your head before it poops in your hair, dummy! Get it a box or something and put the towel in it.
[Lea looks around the galley, finds a leftover crate, and shoves it over to Roxas, grumbling all the while.]
And chickens eat grain and bugs and stuff, not bait. Ikki doesn't know what he's talking about as usual.

[He can't believe he remembers all this crap. Amazing what a little trauma can do for a guy.]
Action
Look how tiny and fluffy it is. I don't know what to call it! What do you think?
[He stops watching the chick for a moment so he can go find something to put a bit of water in.]
Action
[Yeah, yeah, it's tiny and fluffy. He gets it. It's plenty cute now, but that's going to last, like, a month before it gets all chicken-y.]
Action
[He gives Lea a look.]
Action
Sounds accurate to me.
Action
Action
[He's just going to call it Sir Crapsalot anyway.]
Action
[Roxas stares at the chick.]
I think I'm going to call it Axel.
[That's what he gets for being mean to the chick.]
Action
[Okay, so maybe it's mostly superstition at this point, but there's no way of knowing how far Xehanort's reach actually goes. Not that he'd want a chicken. Or maybe he would. Creepy bastard.]
Action
[Well okay, not Axel, he could concede that.]
Fine, not Axel.
Action
[Maybe then Ace won't eat it.]
Action
[Roxas is considering this.]
I don't know, do you think the chick can make fire?
Action
[But mostly poop.]
Action
[Roxas pets the head of the baby chick]
Although I could probably make it a hat. Do you think it would like that?
Action

Action
[Has Marco seriously not told Roxas about that whole deal yet? It's not Lea's secret to spill, but things are going to go south fast if this keeps up.]
Action
[He grins at Lea, because it is pretty cool.]
Action
[Lea checks the counter to see if Roxas got it clean enough to work on, then gets out some soap himself and starts scrubbing at it.]
You know there are other people who speak bird, right?
Action
Ikki said babies don't understand yet, but I'll look after him or her, and yeah, isn't that cool! He said um, Thatch and Ikki and Naesala and...
[Hmm what was that guy's name?]
Marco. That's the guy's name. The guy with the mission.
Action
[Not a mission to tell Roxas anything, apparently.]
Action
