[Zelda's in her room today. She's had a few days to think about everything, to reflect, to be fond of past memories, to look forward to future ones.]

...Where to begin?
I suppose... the origin is a good place...
For her, I must do all that I can.

*Wordy little thing, isn't she.*

Of course.

When would suit you?

Locked to Erol // 70% unhackable oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 20:48:05 UTC

[...The Zelda that everyone knows, of course. She wouldn't be her without all of the words.]

When...? Oh... Well...
Whenever is of convenience for you, of course.

Locked to Zelda // 70% unhackable - backdate & squish time so this happens before Praxis calls him? psychoticracer July 22 2009, 21:48:54 UTC

Well, I'm free now if you are.

Locked to Erol // 70% unhackable - It sounds good to meeee. Stop getting in trouble, Erol. xD oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 21:50:37 UTC

I am very much unoccupied. I have finished what I had meant to do.

Locked to Erol // 70% unhackable - Oh my god he's such a brat. psychoticracer July 22 2009, 22:01:54 UTC

All right then, shall we meet - I believe you said you've been to Deck 15? Shall we meet there?

Locked to Erol // 70% unhackable - He's like a little kid~ Just... worse. oblique_wisdom July 22 2009, 22:04:49 UTC

Verily then! Deck 15 it is!

[Oh, Erol. You just struck a note with mentioning that deck. Zelda has fond memories of it. Quite a bit.]

Locked to Erol // 70% unhackable - Yeah, being incapable of empathy kind of emotionally stunted him. psychoticracer July 23 2009, 00:11:06 UTC

*"Verily." She said "verily."

... Dear Precursors, what a piece of work.

"Verily."

Well at any rate Zelda, here's an Erol, bruises and all. Only the one stretching from cheek to jaw is visible though, the rest are hidden beneath a long-sleeved shirt.*

Locked to Zeld // 70% unhackable - It's all good. He's a special kind of fairy. oblique_wisdom July 23 2009, 00:15:41 UTC

[It doesn't take too long for Zelda to get down to the caves. These are the caves Jak likes so much. She remembers, and chances are, she'll keep that thought in mind for quite a while.

She's dressed as proper as ever and with one hand, raises her skirts. No sense in letting herself get too dirty, or... misconstrued. She seems happy to see Erol, however, and she pays him with a curtsy.]

Commentlog - So is Zelda of course. psychoticracer July 23 2009, 01:51:52 UTC

[A curtsy is it? Erol returns a bow, ignoring the minor twinge his middle gave him at the movement. It really was nothing, especially compared to what he'd been through over the past month.

And after the bow, he offers her his arm. Why yes, he CAN act the gentleman if he so chooses.]

Stairs or elevator?

Commentlog - Fffffff. No way. oblique_wisdom July 23 2009, 01:55:47 UTC

[She stares at him for a moment, carefully looking him over. He has been hurt. But... hasn't he also been accused of hurting someone else? It's hard to believe that someone who can be so hated by a majority of the ship can be so overwhelmingly kind and charming to her.

Zelda carefully wraps her arm around his. He's allowed to escort her--if that's what he's doing. She doesn't really know, because she's not used to it. The only other thing she's done is hold hands. Not that she'd ever admit to it.]

The elevator will be quicker. Stairs are good if we wish to take in the sights. Of course, I am certain you have seen more than your fair share of this ship, correct?

Commentlog - yeah ttly psychoticracer July 23 2009, 03:23:08 UTC

[Erol's just hard to believe all over. Especially to someone who has, oh, say, a conscience.

Her body shyness isn't lost on him, but he shoves his thoughts on it aside. It wouldn't do to get... distracted while he was behaving as a proper escort, now would it.]

There aren't that many sights in the stairwell. And to be perfectly honest, Deck 16 has... issues. We may be considerably more comfortable with the elevators, especially given your attire - lovely of course.

[Erol leads the way to the elevator. He likes leading~]

Commentlog - :[ If Zelda's a fairy, Erol's a snowflake. oblique_wisdom July 23 2009, 03:29:34 UTC

[Zelda has to admit it. It feels a little strange walking anywhere with Erol like this. In a way, it's a little romantic. In another way, it just seems so completely... illogical. When she's honest with herself, however, Zelda seems capable of admitting that she doesn't want to get so withdrawn into those types of thoughts. It may be part of what causes her to grow so flustered.

She's in the middle of scorning herself when she zeroes in on his words.]

I do have to admit I would prefer to avoid... said 'issues'. I am sure you understand.

[She casts a glance over to him and tips her head.]

I hardly look different than anyone else aboard. I... may not be as fetching as some, and yet, I would not say that there is such a distinct contrast.

[It appears to be her way of acting modest. Or truly confessing she doesn't think much of herself in that light. She's only too pleased to let him lead. After all, she has never been onto the decks below. She could easily say that with Erol, it's the deepest she's gone.]

Commentlog - He's a special snowflake, actually. psychoticracer July 23 2009, 03:47:42 UTC

[Erol smiles, as if to a private joke, and taps the button for 17.]

I simply mean that - should gravity suddenly upend itself - you might find yourself in an... undignified position. I would not inflict such a thing on you.

As for your appearance, I would humbly beg to disagree. You are quite beautiful by any standard.

Commentlog - XD My plan totally backfired. oblique_wisdom July 23 2009, 03:50:28 UTC

[Is he serious? She pauses for a moment, nearly gawks, and turns a lovely shade of red as she averts her gaze.]

I very much appreciate your concern for me. You are right. I would not... It... It would be very unseemly for you to see me in such a way. I should not show myself as unbecoming.

[His next words seem to touch her, although a part of her doesn't want to admit that. She'll have to turn it around on him.]

Why, certainly your good looks are rubbing off onto me.

Commentlog - Victoly~ psychoticracer July 23 2009, 07:20:26 UTC

I would not look until you had composed yourself. I promise.

[Erol's promises are worth about as much as wet tissue paper - depending entirely on what he stands to gain by fulfilling them. But hey.

At that comment, he blinks, then genuinely laughs.]

Well-said, Princess! Touché.

[Ding! Deck 17. Welcome to bohemia, Zelda! Plush pillows and copious drapes, just waiting for a hookah or ten. And of course that tapestry, which seems to move just when you're not looking at it.]

Commentlog oblique_wisdom July 23 2009, 07:25:11 UTC

[She eyes him for a moment. She wonders how serious he is. He's still a man, after all. It seems like he tries sometimes, however... She can't be sure. He is certainly just a man when it comes beyond that 'commander' title of his.]

Even I can say things that are witty, Sir Erol.

[She affectionately pats his arm with a grand smile. For a moment she looks as though she'll say something more to him, but then she turns her attention onto the deck.]

...Oh... my. In an... odd way, I suppose, it certainly has some charm to it. A very... storybook feel to it.

[Zelda moves to enter and she gently tugs him along.]
