[ In the Plaza, above the bustle of people, one might hear the notes of an ocarina playing a soft, slow song. Just following the sound will bring you to a certain princess, who has perched on a low wall, and is swaying slightly as she plays the blue

[ The melody is soothing, and one that catches the attention of Hubert. Off to investigate, he's more than a little surprised when he sees who's playing the music. ]

. . . Princess?

[obsequience]

[ That's too true, and probably a good point to turn to a more important topic -- that is, her current state, seeing as she's just been returned. ]

Have you settled back in with relative ease?

[royalsheikah]

Relatively. It seems the place I stayed before has been occupied, but a room has been offered to me by a man named Waka.

[obsequience]

He's given you no reason to doubt him, I take it.

[ Just to be sure. Security. ]

[royalsheikah]

Not at all. I know one of his roommates from my time here before, and I have heard only good things about Lady Amaterasu.

[obsequience]

In that case . . . I suppose there is nothing to be wary of.

[royalsheikah]

At least, nothing to be immediately concerned about.

[ Because she will be dead before she lets herself be completely unwary again, however outwardly trusting she seems. ]

[obsequience]

That may take a while.

[ His honest and frank opinion. One can never know with strangers, after all. ]

[royalsheikah]

Of course.

Is it too personal to ask where you stay, Hubert?

[obsequience]

[ That . . . is a sudden question, but Hubert gives her a prompt answer. ]

Near the library, in Ordo. I stay in the second building.

[royalsheikah]

[ Zelda nods. ]

Sorry if that was sudden. I was just curious.

[obsequience]

[ He fixes his glasses. ]

It's only a place of residence . . .

[ Or so he tells himself. ]

[royalsheikah]

Where someone lives can say a lot about them, though.

[ She chuckles a little, though the humor in it is questionable. ]

Though in this city, our choices are limited.

[obsequience]

[ She has a point. He picked that neighborhood for a reason. Its location suited his tastes better. He nods. ]

But there are still choices, as opposed to none.

[royalsheikah]

It is a nice prison, all things considered.

[obsequience]

[ He agrees, the concurrence evident in his tone. ]

That's as good a description as it will get.
