[RL with Jack]

[aerinos_aoria]

So, it was her birthday. She didn't want to think about it much, but at the same time it was all she thought about. Her twenty-first birthday. The day she was supposed to be crowned queen. She supposed she was technically the queen of Hyrule, but with Zant still in place and the Twilight still firmly stretched across the land and no hero in sight,

"Knock, knocky, knock, knock. Guess who!" Came a voice from behind the door.
"Give you a hint. It ain't Santa."

[aerinos_aoria]

Zelda smiled at his voice, standing up and away from the mercifully still chair. She opened to door to admit him, giving him a brilliant smile. "Hi, Jack."

[wannabesanta]

"Awwwwww... That's cheating." And let himself in.

[aerinos_aoria]

She couldn't help but grin at him as she shut the door behind him.

"Thank you for coming." She locked the door with a little click, Zant showing up would be unacceptable.

[wannabesanta]

"But of course. After all it is your birthday.." He paused, "Speaking of which..." As he reached into his back pocket

[aerinos_aoria]

She dipped her head in acknowledgement, a slight smile still lingering on her lips.

"That it is." One ridden with disappointment, but still managing to somehow shine.

[wannabesanta]

And proof! There was his magical bag and he reached in, and pulled out a shiney blue wrapping paper, wrapped present in a square box.
"Happy Birthday." As he handed her the box.

[aerinos_aoria]

She took it from him, grinning happily as she opened it.

"Oh, how sweet!" Zelda cried, holding the gift up amidst a small pile of wrapping paper and tape. "Thanks you!"

[wannabesanta]

"You really like it?" Placing one hand on his hip. "I was a little short on time so... I figured, even if you're twenty -one.. Girls like dolls, right?"

[aerinos_aoria]

"I do." Zelda assured him, pressing it to her chest. She wasn't lying - she truly did like it. She found it quite adorable. She looked down at it, plucking at the red yarn curls. It was an oddly...sweet present.

"Thank you again, Jack. She means a lot to me."

[wannabesanta]

He smiled, "Her name is 'offical' name is 'Raggedy Ann'. But I suppose you can call her whatever you want, eh?"

Swinging his right arm to one side.

[aerinos_aoria]

"That is a fine name." She hugged the doll, looking down at it again. She couldn't hug him, didn't dare, so the doll would suffice.

[wannabesanta]

He blinked, "Anyways... Moving right along." Dangling the bag over to the table, and reached further into it; pulled out a slice of chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting and a plastic fork sticking in the center, resting on a plate.
"You have to have cake... It is what people do after all." Eyerolling and smiling.

[aerinos_aoria]

Zelda's jaw dropped at the cake, her eyes bright and happy. "Oh!" She didn't have any words to say, other than her initial explamation. She set the doll on her bed, then sat at the table, gesturing for him to do that same.

[wannabesanta]

Frost cocked his head, why did her jaw drop so, she acted as if she hadn't ever had cake before. He himself had, but not for his birthday, just when he wanted.
He hadn't ever had one of those birthday celebrations that devolped over time, but not as if he had any friends to have one.
Not as if it mattered, but in a way he would enjoy a celebration for him.

And followed Zelda to the table, sitting down across from her.
"I take it you like cake?" Crossing his legs underneath.

[aerinos_aoria]

"Oh yes, very much." She picked up the forst that was stuck into it, and took an experimental bite.

"Amazing!" She stated,smiling at him happily. "Thank you for being such a wonderful friend."
