So sad Ifa’s a 4 star! Totally gonna try to get him anyways though.
a reminder that ifa wear chaps and if it weren’t for his long white coat we could see how those chaps lift his ass so instead here’s Arthur Morgan who can help with our imaginations
Small kids will look up at you and with no prompting be like “umdidjyou no dat um one time my mommy and me um we um we we we went to da zoo and when I was dere um last summer we went to da zoo and didjyou no what was dere? A koala I seen those on Wild Krats.”
Like wow you have no idea how conversation works but boy are you giving it your all - I will stand here and look mildly surprised the whole time and when you’re done I’ll say “really?” And you will nod and look so victorious.
Ifa watches how the outlander gently handles the baby saurian and he listens to how Kaeya speaks to the small Iktomisaurus with consideration and respect.
It pleasantly surprises the saurian vet and a small smile spreads across his dark features; Ifa knows an opportunity when he sees one.
The Tlalocan moves in closer, offering the saurian in Kaeya's arms the cracker and he draws the needle closer to the tiny Iktomisarus' thigh. Ifa pushes back the soft dew feathers of the baby dragon and with a quick yet steady focus he administers the intramuscular injection. The Iktomisarus flaps its small wings with sad little hoos and Ifa draws the syringe back. He raises his gloved hand to the Iktomisarus' head and soothes it with a light pet and gentle smile.
❝ There we go, all done. You're so good, little gal. ❞ Ifa discards the used syringe in it's proper sharps container and looks to Kaeya, easily impressed by how the calvary captain manages the baby saurian, but also … he talks funny.
“The heck are you on about, bro? Chill, bro.” Cacucu squawks out bluntly, flapping his little wings by Ifa's head.
❝ Yeah, man. You talk a'lotta game, but we're done yet. Think you can handle a few more. I owe you big time. ❞ Ifa chuckles with a small smile. He appreciates Kaeya's assistance.
' Aye aye, Mr.-Vet-Who-Dislikes-Fooling-Around. Fine, I'll help. But you seem to have the situation under control already, ' Kaeya exhales a sigh of fake exasperation, clearly unwilling to part with his very cute, very warm hat who seems to have taken an interest in him. In fact, while well-behaved, the other Iktomisaurus seem to have noticed him, eyeing him with questions in their big eyes. But it seems like the reward is delicious crackers to munch on, so they stay well in line.
The one in his arms, however, makes a small squeak of alarm at the sight of the syringe.
' Aaah, I get it. ' He's solemnly nodding at the poor baby as he presses in the blue-ish fur of his cape. ' I know, look at that. Seems like a big deal, eh? But it'll prickle for just a moment, our dear vet will make sure that it only stings for a very small time. And then... '
Ah, look at this. Mischief written all over his face as he looks at Ifa, the cavalry captain slowly carries the now-more-agreeable saurus towards the vaccination point.
' ...And then, you can start haggling on how many delicious crackers you want to keep your silence. Start with two and half, and make sure to get to five to really dig the point in that you can't be easily bribed. Or, well, you can be bribed... ' He stops for a moment, considering something inane. ' But master vet is exiting this deal dry. Oh yes, he is. '
It doesn't help that the little Iktomisaurus group are now looking directly at ifa. The babies are craving the honey-flavored sweets, bro.
Treasure chest opened! Just kidding it's a mimicutie!
“Oh wow! No way bro!” Cacucu fluffs his feathers. Damn right he's a cutie!
u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw

Ifa’s voice line about Chasca is … short and makes me 🤔 because he states he cares about all his friends and he has a lot of things to say about them, and they in turn have a lot to say about Ifa, Chasca including, but all Ifa says about Chasca is two sentences about how her peacekeeping is helpful and that’s it.
I can think of two reasons why he seems so reluctant and 1) she has abyss connections and it’s not like he’s scared of her or thinks she’s a monster, but because Ifa’s parents died by abyssal infection and 2) I think he feels guilty about Chuychu’s passing and doesn’t want to impose or overwhelm Chasca.
Chuychu and Ifa were both doctors in the Flower-Feather Clan and his clinic’s sign use to say he deferred everyone who wasn’t a saurian to see her, but since she passed away, he changed his sign to say he’ll try his best to help both warriors and saurians alike, not to replace her, but to aide however he can.
( I also like to think he kinda had a crush on her but that’s my shipper googles and I think Chasca reminds him of her and it makes him sad 😞 )
