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.

Donnie doesn't normally see many other people in the greenhouse, so it's a surprise to hear someone else around as he makes his daily check-in on the little patch of specimens he'd planted some months ago. What's more surprising to him is that the voice is familiar somehow.

His curiosity gets the better of him, and so the turtle teen navigates through the greenery, the humidity of the building only making it slightly more bearable than going outside where he's sure he'd shrivel up into a husk if he stood anywhere longer than five minutes. He stops short when he finally comes within sight of the woman in the dirt.

Donnie's seen her before. Diving into the tall grass for a frog. Bedraggled in what had been a beautiful white dress, stained by dirt and tears as she reluctantly fled. They're not his memories, but they come up, unbidden, along with her name.

"-Zelda..?"

Radley hears the sounds and peeks in the room. "Hi there. Can I help?"

Zelda could have moved into Link's room. Really. He'd just have needed to relocate his pile of rocks, and his collection of mushrooms, and find some way to shove the giant mgoose antler to the side a bit...

...Okay. So maybe Zelda couldn't fit in his room.

But at least she was still near. Near enough that, attuned as he is to Zelda's sounds and movements, he can hear when she starts to struggle with something.

Making his way to Zelda's room, he briefly stands in her doorway. Looks at her bed. Looks at the mattress she's struggling with. And then immediately moves towards her, hands reaching out so that he can help.
thepurpleone: (wait where'd he go)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-07-25 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
He's immediately sheepish at being noticed, ducking behind a tree for a moment before peeking back around it.

"Ah, um. Right, you wouldn't know me. I'm Donatello. -Donnie, everyone calls me, that's fine." He scratches the back of his head. "Are...you real?" Wow, what a question to ask. Donnie shakes his head. "I mean-"

He breathes out a frustrated sigh. "This place is weird and it gets complicated explaining but what I meant to ask is- have you been here long?"

"It wouldn't be any imposition," Radley says. "But I wouldn't wanna intrude if you'd rather do it yourself ... or to not have a strange guy in your room." He speaks calmly and easily in a friendly, understanding manner.

Hey you know what sucks? The temperature! It super sucks, and lately it's just been climbing. Not even nightfall seems to be offering any relief from the heat, so Sonic's been looking for other ways to cool off. Tonight he's decided to try just jumping into the fountain because why not at this point. He can't drown in a fountain unless he tries really hard, he doesn't need to worry about not knowing how to swim, it'll totally be fine.

Naturally, it's when Zelda's wandering by on her map studying adventure that Sonic just happens to come up for air, suddenly appearing with a splash and a deep breath for air. Boo?
thepurpleone: (proud you were gonna say proud)

Just a little! How often do you meet royalty? ...aaaaah crap, he didn't even address her by title, he is doing SO well.

That realization dawns on him and he drags his hands down his face, peeking between his fingers at her reassurances. Oh. Well, at least it's not weird on her end. Donnie decides to hold off on explaining- or trying to explain- that he'd seen her in Link's memories.

"Oh, really? And you're jumping right into things, I see," he notes, glancing at the plants she's been potting.

"Er...sorry, I've never spoken to royalty before. Should I be calling you princess?"

With two people, it's easy enough to shift the mattress; Link can take one end, while Zelda takes the other.

(It's the sort of thing that, before the Calamity, Link would probably have done for her. He was her Knight; it would have been expected of him. But he doesn't remember those expectations anymore.)

Once it's in place, he looks back at the now empty frame. It seems a bit...odd, just sitting there without the mattress.

"The frame...?" he asks, wondering what Zelda wants to do with it.

"Okay, sure." Radley comes in and takes the mattress. He struggles with it a bit too, but he's able to wrestle it into the corner. "Is this good?"
thepurpleone: (hey look ice cream!)

[personal profile] thepurpleone 2023-07-25 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"I guess that's a good point." And she doesn't seem the type to make a fuss about that sort of thing.

But her clear expression of interest is what really eases Donnie out from behind the tree as he slips over to inspect her work.

"I love plants too. This place is definitely one of the best spots in what's left of the city so far as I'm concerned."

Link had been nearby, of course. Not following Zelda as closely as he had before the Calamity - but still in her orbit. Close enough to help, if she needed it.

So when he hears Zelda shriek, he immediately stops trying to catch this one lizard to run towards her.

He skids to a stop, takes in the scene, and...she's fine. No one's attacking her. Except maybe with splashes, which doesn't count. And hey, there's Sonic.

"...Hi," Link says, before bending down to pick up Zelda's communicator, and hold it out for her.
spinsandneedles: (In your RECTUM???)

Sonic's reaction to Zelda's reaction to him was less than graceful. He'd let out a startled yelp and leapt backwards in the fountain, splashing up more water in the process. Sorry, Zelda.

He quickly realizes that he's not in any danger, but this is still a less than ideal scenario. Here he is, hanging out in a fountain and scaring girls like a jerk. Real cool, Sonic.

"Uhhh..."

He's got nothing. Thankfully Link saves the day by showing up and... actually this is probably awkward for him too? Sonic amplifies the awkward by looking between Link and this new chick and just fumbling over his words like a champ.

"Oh. uh. Hi?"

This is going great!
newmemorywhodis: (Neutral 10)

[personal profile] newmemorywhodis 2023-07-25 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Link nods, accepting the thanks. If he's aware of the awkwardness, he doesn't show it.

He looks at Sonic. Why is he in the fountain?

"You want the lake for fish," he says.
spinsandneedles: (Speed limits. SPEED LIMITS!)

[personal profile] spinsandneedles 2023-07-25 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sorry about that," he says, giving Zelda a a sheepish, apologetic smile. His expression quickly shifts into something closer to confusion when Link addresses him though. Dude, really?

"...Bro, why would I be fishing in a fountain?"

He could specify that he was just trying to cool off, but part of him wants to see where this goes.
