Okay, I'm having an issue and it's driving me crazy.

Anyone done the Great Cockatrice Escape side-quest yet? I have the first one done, now I'm trying to talk to the Cockatrice in North Rabanastre but it keeps running away. I keep trying to hide behind the pilliars and whatnot and it still runs away when I try to slowly walk out.

AAAAAAARGH!!!!

Anyone know how to talk to this freakin' thing???
