[Zelda's taken the last day to recover from all of that other nonsense. She won't be going into great detail about what's going on or where she is, but she will be getting irritated with people who are pushing for the particular outcome. Otherwise, Zelda's in a good mood.]

Much to the ship's chagrin--and perhaps mine, and perhaps his--nothing

I lived in Paris for a long time before I was brought here. Why so you ask about it?

[By the Gods. Zelda doesn't see this going well at all. After all Daxter is connected to Jak. Christine doesn't like Jak. Therefore it's plausible that she doesn't like Daxter, since the ottsel is pretty much glued to Jak.]

Daxter has something you need to see. I... am sure you have some reservations, but as it has to do with your home, do you think you would be willing to take a look at it?

[Zelda has yet to decide if she'll come along as well. Depending on who else might need to come, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Just to keep people from killing each other or anything like that.]

[Daxter? She will have to deal with him - and possibly his friends - to get to the bottom of this? Christine barely bests the urge to reply that no, she would not be willing. After the latest battle between herself and Erol's - and, as she must admit, her - enemies, she is far from inclined to have anything to do with any of them. And yet...

She has heard nothing of her home for so many months. To know something - anything - even if the news is bad, should surely be worth dealing with Daxter? Besides, he is the best of a bad lot, as far as she can tell. Perhaps she will even learn something of those she cherishes dearly even after so long... No, that seems too much to hope for. Still...]

It's true, I would rather not have dealings with Daxter, especially as we are more at odds than usual after what has recently happened... Yet I have been longing for any news of my home for months now. If I can be sure that I won't have to endure any insults, or worse, then yes, I shall look at whatever he wants me to see.

[Zelda's pleasantly surprised by Christine's response. She's willing to give it a try and that means more than anything else in the world to Zelda right now. Her respect has gone up quite a bit for the lovely miss. She can't change her mind on things and she doesn't intend to, but... This is so wonderful to see.

Besides, they've something in common. Zelda felt the same way when she saw the blueprints of Hyrule Castle Town. She was--at the very least--horrified.]

I will be there, so you will not be in his company alone. I intend to bring a few people together for this. Well, I hope to. It would seem there are quite a few who have useful information. I... think it will be nice to have such a wondrous cooperative effort.

Nosy and Protective sister time.

[weaponxi]

What happened with him?

Ffffff. ♥ you, Hazar.

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda turns a little red. She just said 'nothing'. She'll have to say it again.]

...I... said nothing happened with him. Nothing did happen. We talked. And fell asleep. That was all.

♥

[weaponxi]

Are you positive? No breeding or kissing or touching?

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda flushes.]

B-b-breeding?? Surely you jest! Jak... and... I... I... N-no!

[She's completely forgotten about the other two things... Way to go, Hazar.]

[wolvesxeyes]

Paris. Like flashy-lights, city of love, french Paris?

Been there once, nothing special; what did you need to know?

[Text // Locked to Sarea // 85% Unhackable]

[oblique_wisdom]

Well... It was not so much me needing to know anything. A close friend of mine had something with regards to the city. I offered to help him locate the necessary people to help relay information along...

Though since you have been there, you may be able to help him out as well. I think he was doing a little investigation on the town.

[Zelda honestly doesn't know. She's just theorizing. She'll have to nab the information from Daxter--whenever he chooses to show himself again.]

[wolvesxeyes]

I'm up to helping as much as I can; I know a few things about the place.

[Frig why not, she's not doing anything else at the moment. Paris was interesting, though a bit overrated; she'll offer up any info she can give.]

[Text // Locked to Sarea // 85% Unhackable]

[oblique_wisdom]

I will let him know the next time I see him.

Miss... May I the privilege of your name?

[soldierbee]

Oh, that's all right. I probably should have minded my own business.

[oblique_wisdom]

Everyone is making it into something that it was not. That was what bothered me. You did not mean any harm, and perhaps people were wanting something like this, but... I do not want that.

Not like this. If it is meant to happen, then it is meant to happen.

Does the music really help, though?

[soldierbee]

Sometimes; it depends on the person, really, but it's been proven that a human's emotions and even thought processes are highly influenced by music.

...though, I suppose you aren't human. Hylian, I believe?

[oblique_wisdom]

[That's something new. Zelda... wasn't aware. She finds herself pausing, given the analysis of her ethnicity.]

That is correct. How did you know that...?

[psychoticracer]

Oh, no. We wouldn't want to misinterpret anything.

Would we.

*He almost... sounds... hurt.

Actually, the sedatives are making his emotions more fluid, so his play-acting has an extra flair to it. Enjoy, Z.*

Locked to Erol // 85% Unhackable -- Zelda's not cool like Erol. ;-;

[oblique_wisdom]

......

[Zelda's speechless. Entirely so. She expected this, but perhaps not to this extent.]

Please not misunderstand. Nothing happened. I...

I went to the medical bay the other day to go see you and to check on you and at the very last minute, managed to acquire cold feet and somehow convinced myself that you had no desire to see me. In consequence, I spoke with Link and made a hasty retreat.

I had meant to request to see how your recovery was and to ask you some questions, though you may not be capable of answering them too entirely well. If... you would allow such, I will tell you anything you wish to know, if you will help me.

[Good job, Erol. You made Zelda feel bad. :[ Of course, we all know it was your intent, so yeah. Really. Good job. ♥]

Locked to Zelda // Unhackable -- Erol has befriended some very cool people. Robots. Things.

[psychoticracer]

*He's certain to hold his comm up as he speaks; the pain of doing so lends a harsh note to his voice. Erol knows precisely what he's doing here, and he's going for the jugular.*

So you can /mislead/ by /omission/ again?? No. I don't think I have any further questions for you, Princess.

...

But if you want to see the damage the "man" you feel so very comfortable /sleeping/ next to is capable of inflicting on an unarmed opponent, you may stop by whenever you like.

It's not as if I'm going anywhere.

*He is, actually, slightly stung that she managed to hide this from him so well. Real emotions always make the emulation of fake ones so much more believable.*

Locked to Erol // 85% Unhackable -- Just what he needs. xD

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda cringes. Oh, this is bad. He's taking this entirely out of context. He doesn't understand her position. At all. And she feels horrid for it. She felt horrid when she realized how he'd react too. Zelda's very capable of guilt, and it's really a perfect setup for Erol.]

...When I--

I said I wanted to come see you. Tell me when I can come.
