A Royal Arrival

WHO: Princess Zelda, you, and Link is probably hovering somewhere close by
WHERE: Various.
WHAT: Zelda's exploring.
WHEN: Later part of July
WARNINGS: none at the moment. Will update if needed.


{ Don't break these pots | Agriculture Building }

Zelda can't remember a time where she was allowed to just sit and re-pot plants like this. There's a thin layer of dirt on her legs and hands but she couldn't feel more at ease as diligently works gathering samplings to try and grow on her own. It's nice knowing that she doesn't have to worry about being told off or that she's not trying hard enough. She has a freedom here that she didn't back home.

She feels a little guilty for thinking that but buries it pretty neatly as she buries the root of the plant she's currently potting. She can worry about her conflicting emotions after she's done here.

"There you are, little one." She says soothingly to the plant and sets it aside to pot another. It's a little odd to her that she suddenly has the knowledge to take care of these plants but she isn't complaining. She wipes her brow, smearing a bit of dirt on her forehead before delicately cutting a sampling from the next plant that has her interest.


{ Moving in | hotel }

Zelda wanted her own room at the hotel. Mostly due to the fact Link's room is... a bit full. She takes a room as close to his as she can manage and sets about putting the few pots she has up on the window sill and opens the window to let more light in.

After taking some time to wash up and once she's clean again she works on arranging her room the way she wants it. She frowns at the lay out of the room. It's not a large space but she's sure if she were to push the bed up against the wall it would at least look like there was more space.

She briefly considers getting Link to move it for her but shakes the idea out of her head. They're not in Hyrule at the moment and no one's going to tell her she can't do things for herself. Alright then, her mind made up, she makes an attempt at moving the bed on her own.

The frame is bolted down but that won't stop her from at least pulling the mattress off. Anyone crossing by might just hear her grunting and struggling to pull the mattress where she wants it to go.


{ Out Wandering }

Evening has set in and she's done all she can for her room at this point. However, she's not quite ready to call it a night as she wanders through Temba, her attention on the map as she studies it carefully. She's in a new place and getting lost wouldn't be ideal.

Besides, she should probably meet some more people and introduce herself since they'll all be working together to try and help the Agrii.

Knowing is...painful. This is true. And yet, not knowing wouldn't have really been a kindness at all, because not knowing was painful too.

"Do you know how old...?" he asks.

Was his sister younger than him? Older? Around the same age?

Perhaps if Link were to catch a giant spider, and just hold it up for her to inspect. At a safe distance, of course.

As for Sonic, well, his idea of exactly how all this works isn't quite right. Because of course you didn't just smear bugs all of yourself. That would be ridiculous.

"You crush the bugs first," he says. "Cook them into the elixir."

C'mon Zelda you know you wanna wrangle a giant spider.

"Elixir, so... is it meant for drinking too? Who decided to start mashing up and cooking bugs??"

"Yeah, I guess so," Robin agrees. At least she's given the girl an idea and that's probably a good thing.

"Here, let me get this side of the mattress. Where are you moving it?

Plants that could increase strength? That really sounds like drugs. Which, uh, wow that's a thing to look into.

"Well, hopefully you can set them up here. I think there's supposed to be a shiny brain orb for that too."

She moves to grip her chosen side of the mattress.

"Corner placement is good. Reasonable choice."

There are, like, only two valid ways to place a bed in Robin's mind. Head board against the wall and the other three sides open, or the headboard and one side against a wall. Anything else would be monstrous. She was glad the nice plant liking girl was a reasonable bed person.

A younger sister. Someone he was meant to look out for, meant to protect.

His chest feels strange. Numb.

"But...my father? You knew him?" She must have. If she'd heard him talk about his children...

Link nods his head vigorously; yes, elixirs were usually meant for drinking. Yes, they were made from monster parts and bugs and lizards.

Though he didn't remember that bit about the Hylian researcher. That wasn't something he'd remembered. But he has no doubt that it's true; Zelda wouldn't be wrong about this sort of thing.

That's all very fascinating, yes! But also horrifying, and here's why;

"You guys cook lizards!? I have a friend who's a lizard!"

"Little lizards," Link reassures Sonic. Or at least, says what he thinks will reassure Sonic. Whether or not it actually will is another thing entirely. "Not lizards that are people."

Although. Did lizalfos count as people? Link didn't cook them, but he did sometimes use things like their tails or talons to make elixirs...

"...Or monsters," he adds. Just to clarify.

Hey Link that's still kinda creepy and screwed up. How would you like it if someone sawed your leg off and made a potion out of it??

Anyway, a mischievous grin makes it's way onto Sonic's face while Zelda fumbles, but Link's here with the recovery!

"It's fine, it's fine, I'm kidding! I mean, I do have a friend who's a lizard- chameleon, specifically, but I know that people and animals work differently on other worlds."

He's just here to cause trouble, sorry Zelda.

"Impa knew him?"

Somehow, it hadn't occurred to Link that Impa might have known his family. But...he should ask her. When they get home.

"Did...did you know his name?"

[personal profile] newmemorywhodis 2023-08-16 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Zelda might be more sensitive, maybe. Link still didn't really see what the issue was.

But he doesn't argue against her. Just sends a faintly confused frown in her direction, and says nothing.

"I guess it is a little strange. Seriously though, it's fine. Maybe just don't tell me if you guys eat hedgehogs."

Would a hedgehog snack even be worth the trouble of getting past the quills?
newmemorywhodis: (Neutral 10)

[personal profile] newmemorywhodis 2023-08-16 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"They're not in the Compendium," Link agrees. So even if he wanted to eat any, he couldn't.

And Sonic was also right about another thing - the quills. That would make them rather awkward to cook.

"...Arn," Link says softly. Is it...familiar? Does it spark any kind of memory, any deep-rooted association?

He's not sure. Maybe he needs more than a name, to really remember. But he'll make sure never to forget it again, now he knows it.

Then he looks back at Zelda.

"Don't say that," he says. "You saved me."

He lost all his memories, yes. But the only other option was death. She shouldn't apologise for making that choice, not ever.

"Aw man, sounds like Hyrule's missing out."

A world without hedgehogs? Unthinkable! It's probably for the best, though. It sounds liek these two would probably try to make some kinda spikey butt potion out of them.
