X'mimiteh Lhim

What is best company? Chocobos are best company! At least Reppu's daughter Rhavi believes that. And so the pink-haired menace not only has own chocobos, she even sponsors an own chocobo jockey for the races at the Gold Saucer. But her choice seems a bit off: It is X'mimiteh Lhim on the Ul'dahn Gold - a very grumpy and troublesome chocobo jockey, often scolded for her bad temper and her aggressive and cocky behavior on the racing tracks (and often even off-track). The Ul'dahn Gold seems like the absolute counterpart to his disagreeable jockey, as the bird seems to be a very cheerful and happy and even cuddly chocobo.But in spite of the rough outward appearance, the grumpy chocobo jockey seems to be more bark than bite. And if someone wanted to engage with the household via the races or the Gold Saucer? Maybe a fellow racer? A chocobo breeder? A gambling enthusiast? Or just someone enjoying the jolly birds? Maybe the tribal grump might even help. Reluctantly. But she would. Probably. May the Twelve have mercy on their soul!Services Offered:
Chocobo socializing: Sometimes it is just enough to gush about those happy birds! It might be hard with a certified grump, but everyone else at Winds seems approachable and especially Reppu's daughter is a big chocobo fan. Or maybe you want your birds to meet our birds. But be careful, our reddest bird - the mighty Serafi - is a fierce and haughty bird. Do not cross her, if you value your life, mortal.Rigged races: We do not rig races. Never did. Never will. Any rumours are just that. Rumours. Of course. We also do not sneak in secret weapons. Even though it might be in the capacities of Winds. We deny having any part in that!Actual Chocoboing: Maybe just some friendly match? Or a bigger tournament? Some fancy event? Find your inner wark and pitch an idea. If it fits? We are game! There is no limit to your kweh!
