[static erupts across the system, quickly followed by the muffled sound of Arthur slapping the device into the palm of his hand.]

What is...

[there's a pause, and a disgruntling mutter, followed by more thumping of the speaker against Arthur's palm.]

Useless magic box. What are all these noises about?

[sigh.]At least the snow has let up. It

Are you not fond of snow, My Lord?

/HAPPY FOREVER

[He's rather flabbergasted, and it comes across in his voice. But then, he doesn't know this is a different Zelda]

Pardon me, Princess-- but were you asleep the whole time?

:>

[forhyrule]

[ So many strange people today. ]

I slept during the night and rose at dawn, as on any other day. Is that so strange?

lol check out my fail html.

[oncefutureking]

[And Arthur hasn't quite caught on yet.]

Did you miss just how cold it was? How could you sleep at all?

I liked it :]

[forhyrule]

[ Well, neither has she. :> ]

I find the chill to be no worse than any previous winters. The lighted hearth in my chambers keeps me warm.

[He sputters in a rather undignified manner for a moment before speaking again.]

I can hardly understand how you managed to survive a single winter in your land if it is impossible to go outside without freezing half to death.

[forhyrule]

[ Something about his response reminds her of a child's retort, but she keeps herself from laughing. ]

Perhaps my land is not so cold as yours, My Lord. What you describe is more fitting of the northern reaches of Snowpeak than Hyrule proper.

[He's still a kid, boourns. But something seems to be clicking here, and he speaks slowly when he finally replies.]

I thought you returned to World's End before the snow came, My Lady.

[forhyrule]

[ Sadly, he's probably a little older than Zelda. Thanks to the kind explanation of one 'Sir Terra,' Zelda has come to understand what is going on around here. ]

I do not reside in World's End, My Lord. My realm is Hyrule, but by some ... [ Terra's word choice seems most appropriate here. ] ... "trick," our voices are heard across dimensions.

[oncefutureking]

I know your kingdom is Hyrule, My Lady-- [Have a moment where Arthur tries to wrap his head around two Zeldas.]

Unless, you are meaning to tell me that you are in Hyrule as well as... here. But that is impossible.

[forhyrule]

As strange as it may sound, that is what I have come to believe.

[oncefutureking]

[A long pause, and then a frustrated sigh.]

Sorcery, no doubt.

[forhyrule]

Is that so concerning, My Lord?

[oncefutureking]

Of course! I have-- [And he pauses, and has to correct himself, because he has seen the contrary to his beliefs in World's End.] rarely seen anything good come of magic. Most of what I see here only has the intent to harm, just like in Camelot.
