It's a girl! :D

First thing first: Pasifika's new cohocobo has hatched and it's a cu~te little girl! :D After much delibertion, the chick was named SnowyForest. (Imagining the chocobo all grown up and bored, looking down at you like it wanted to peck your eyes out might have influenced the final decicion not to call this adorable sweetie RoyalPrincess after all. ^^; Besides, she'd obviously need to be San d'Orian chocobo for that...) Hopefully the name will give this undoubtedly smart chick a hint of the desired color. x)

Pasifika's adventures in the north may have partly been the inspiration to the name, because the white landscapes there are really beautiful. Sometimes snowstorms sweep through the canyons and over the fields, then the wind drops and snowflakes drift quietly down... *_* Well, Pasifika didn't go there just for sightseeing, although she did a lot of that as well. ^^;

Pasifika was looking for the original tome of Teleport-Vahzl, which apparently has been carelessly placed in one of the chests in Fei'Yin. With Phucrabiont helping and guiding her, she explored the corridors and halls in hopes of finding a chest, but only had one snatched away from under her nose...

The search was exciting in itself, though, and Pasifika also called her loyal adventuring fellow Romidiant to join her. Everything was going very smoothly until the moody NM Miser Murphy showed up and defeated Pasifika's valiant protector Phu in moments. Pasifika didn't even have the honor of being defeated by the NM, but instead fell under the attack of some undead bats as she was looking for a safe place to cast her spells. -_-;

Well, that had been enough treasure chest hunting for one day, so Pasifika and Phucrabiont returned to Whitegate and spent some time relaxing in Kokbah Hostel before heading out to Altepa Desert, where a priceless teleport spell had also gone missing.

With great help and a fair dose of good luck Pasifika quicly found the missing tablet fragment and returned to Rabao, then hastened to San d'Oria to deliver the letters given to her. She was in a hurry, because the Mamool Savages were just about to attack Al Zahbi - once again - and Pasifika was naturally eager to lend a helping hand to the defenders. Well, there's always time to spend a moment in good company, so Pasifika paused for a short while to sit with this cutesy-wutesy rarab before warping away. ^^

In Al Zahbi Pasifika ran into some friends, although this time she remained in a party of two - with none other that Phucrabiont, of course.
Often Pasifika stays with General Mihli during Besieged, because she is a white mage like Pasifika, and also because her corner of the town is rarely as crowded as many other areas. This time, however, Pasifika keept close eye on General Rughadjeen. He was a bit difficult to see at times, but his voice boomed over the battlefield.

Battle, as exciting as it may be, has never been Pasifika's greatest passion. She finds gardening very enjoyable, and here is a picture of her very first plant, in her first flower pot, which also was her very first piece of furniture... ^^; Of course she did harvest her first crop to see what she had grown, but now has a plant just like this one dried in full bloom in her Mog House, because it's so pretty...

Pasifika has experimented with various seeds and pots and now she has managed to grow little trees! :D Hmm... drying one of these in full bloom is tempting, but curiosity will probably make Pasifika harvest them both. Besides, a dried plant prevents growing a live plant... ^^;

Your new chocobo chick is really cute. I'm very tempted to raise another one too. I've got a spare chocobo egg in my mog house ( I bought just in case my first one did not hatch).
I like your miniature tress. How did you grow them? So far I've just grown flowering plants which bear read or yellow flowers.

The trees shown on this post were grown from tree saplings and the other kind of tree (shown couple post down, in 'Scrambled eggs' post) grows from tree cuttings. They're both really slow growing, though.
