CHARUN: Ceramics..
[That… sounded pretty fun, actually.]
CHARUN: I hadnt considered that one before CHARUN: Good idea
CHARUN: .. CHARUN: Is there anywhere in Spirale to go to do that..
▲ ❝ It seems to be quite interesting! I have yet to fully look into it in great detail, but it seems like a wonderful hobby, ❞
❝ And perhaps somewhere within Archimedes? That is where I see many things art related, ❞
CHARUN: Id like to try out other artforms at some point
CHARUN: Ive done drawing CHARUN: And painting CHARUN: And obviously sculptures CHARUN: … CHARUN: Not a whole lot of anything else
▲ ❝ It is incredible how many forms of creating art there is out there! I have been wishing to look into ceramics and the like... Perhaps that would be a good place to start for you, as well? ❞
"H-Hey... It's uh -- I..." His gaze is turned away and he can't bring himself to even make eye contact with Zelda. In his hands is a reindeer wrapped present, decorated with gold trim and topped with holy strung by a bow. Inside Zelda will find an ombre lavender to white hand knit scarf. Beside it is a small, clay pumpkin with a cute ':3' face etched into it. It's painted to look like a carved pumpkin and with the small details added, it almost looks real! "M-M... -- Merry Christmas, Zelda..."
▲ As she holds her own gift for the other behind her back, the blonde can’t help but look at the wrapped present being offered to her with widened, sapphire hues. Truthfully, she hadn’t expected anyone to give her anything for this holiday, despite her own intentions to gift others… And in a way, the monarch almost finds herself unsure of what to say.
❝ Aha… Well, I suppose we should trade, then, hm? ❞ she finally replies with a sheepish smile, offering her own neatly wrapped present for Kanji to take. As she gingerly takes the gift from the other now, the princess calmly and very delicately begins to open the present.
As she finds what waits for her inside of it, Zelda can’t help but stare wide-eyed once more. He… Made both of these, just for her? How much time, exactly, had he spent on these? Feeling unworthy of his kindness but extremely flattered all the same, the blonde can’t help but smile wide and warmly as she stares down at the gifts.
For Kanji’s own present, inside he will find a scarf, as well… However, it’s nowhere near as lovely as the one he has made for her. It’s quite clear an amateur has made it with all the gaping holes within the scarf itself and inwardly, Zelda feels extremely ashamed she has given him something so terrible when he has given her such wonderful presents.
She really is unworthy of his time.
❝ Kanji… Thank you… Thank you so much…! These are so beautiful… I can hardly believe they are real! ❞
malevolute:
“Ah ah ah, no trying to explain your way out of this one!” He waggled his finger, “It’s not every day you get to give and receive gifts! Enjoy it, dear!”
▲ ❝ Well... Yes, I suppose that is also true. Should it happen to me, I will be sure to be very grateful and appreciative of it, ❞
"Oh, oh, oh! I've always wanted to do this! Ahem... Well, EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS~!"
▲ The monarch simply stands there, looking a little surprised at the sudden outburst. It’s quite clear she does not know that the stranger is joking and instead, falls silent for a few moments.
❝ I… Apologize for offending you in any manner, miss… ❞
malevolute·:
“It is the season, I suppose! To thaw our hearts during this particularly frigid time of year.”
“Don’t be so humbled now! I’m sure anyone would be thrilled to be the one to give you a gift of some sort.” All he can really offer is his optimistic thoughts, “It’s a two-way street, you know.”
▲ ❝ Ah, well... ❞ the princess isn’t entirely sure about that... But she supposes that the stranger is right; gifts, when given, are to be accepted and appreciated.
❝ Yes, I suppose you are correct. Gift exchanges are often just that; an exchanging of gifts between one another... ❞
malevolute·:
“What a bizarre concept. Though, I do reckon the element of surprise would make the exchanges all the more exciting.” That was an idea! He’d have to log that away and keep that in mind. “Do you plan on partaking in one of these secret gift exchanges, princess?”
▲ ❝ It is a little foreign but I think it is a splendid idea! It is always nice to see others acting out of kindness, ❞ she smiles gently in reply, clearly pleased by the idea.
❝ And I am unsure... While I do like to offer others gifts when I am able to, receiving them is... ❞ she trails off now, unsure of how exactly to word her thoughts in a way that isn’t quite so negative.
“Oh, goodness me–! The date escaped me, I haven’t bought gifts for—”
“…I don’t have anyone to exchange gifts with.”
▲ ❝ I have heard that there are a number of ‘secret gift exchanges’ being advertised throughout the city... Perhaps it would do you well to look into it, should you have the desire to offer a present to another? ❞
vilenie·:
I quietly nod.
“I’m worried something could happen to this body… it belongs to someone I care for.” Could the hero and villainess fate nullify each other?! I hope so!
▲ ❝ Oh, I see... ❞
❝ As long as you stay out of trouble, I am sure you will be fine. From how you speak, it does not sound like you are the type to actively seek out mischief... So as long as you are cautious, as I trust you are within your own body, you will be alright, I think. ❞
“I’m glad I’m not the only one in this situation but… this feels wrong.”
I hate my actual face but it’s not fair Zenitsu has to deal with it instead!
▲ ❝ Ah, yes... I imagine it would be rather startling to suddenly find yourself in a body that is not your own. I can only hope that things return somewhat to a normalcy soon... ❞
▲ ❝ While I am no stranger to snow, I do not recall a time where I was able to play in it proper... So when the snow begins to pile up, I think I will give myself this one allowance to make snowballs or something of the like, ❞
ziodie·:
“‘course I’m sure! Just take ‘em, I’ve gotten a ton today!” He gives the box another shake. “Can’t have you missin’ out on the fun too.“
▲ ❝ ... Thank you, ❞ after some silence she finally replies to him, now giving him a warm and bright smile.
❝ Uhm, what... What flavour do you like the most currently? ❞
ziodie·:
“But ‘re you havin’ fun too? Here, try some. ‘m sure you’ve never had anything like these before!” And he presents her with an open box of strawberry pocky.
▲ ❝ Ah, well-- ❞ and before she has the chance to protest-- to say that she really isn’t deserving of it-- a box of the special treat is shoved towards her person.
❝ Are you certain...? I am afraid I have nothing to offer you in return currently... ❞
▲ ❝ It seems like everyone is having a very fun time. I am happy to see everyone enjoying themselves and sharing their food! ❞

Zelda was worried she would say that. She had been secretly hoping that the other royal would deny the rumors that had been flying around. Panic struck when the descendant realized what she heard was all true. Oh goddesses, what on earth was happening?
It was then that her predecessor asked if she could fight. Zelda was honestly going to have a rain check on that one. Not only did she not have a weapon, she had left the only thing that could even be used for self-defense at her house. Honestly, a toy bow and arrow set probably wasn’t going to do the trick against these monsters anyway.
❝I’m afraid not…❞ she states, a bit guiltily. She couldn’t fight for herself right now, but she honestly wished she could. She hoped she wasn’t being a bother. ❝I don’t have much to defend myself with, and the only thing I do have… I foolishly left it at home. I’m rather frightened, to be honest.❞
Well, at least she was with her other self. Hopefully she would be safer here. Her ears perked a bit when the other princess spoke again. ❝Y-You mean it, you want me to stay with you? Oh, thank you! I’m so glad to have company.❞
▲ The girl’s expression coupled with her next series of replies only serves to worry the other monarch more. It’s clear that the other blonde did not have to experience something like this on such a grand scale and for a moment, Zelda can only further build up her determination... Her resolution to keep this girl, whether she is an ancestor or predecessor, safe from harm’s way.
Even if she thinks lowly of herself, even if she thinks she deserves this... The sage knows that the other princess does not.
❝ It is alright, princess, ❞ comes the quick reassurance from the monarch, her tone quiet but smile genuine all the same.
❝ And but of course; I would not have it any other way. Though I, too, am rather ill equipped, I can still fend off anything that comes our way, should they mean harm. You will be safe with me, I promise. ❞
ziodie·:
Thank god. A heavy exhale finally slips out as his shoulders ease up once more. He’s somewhat aware that Zelda could hold her own, but in this heavy fog and heavily shadow monster infested setting, thoughts tend to wander. But that doesn’t matter now!. Her voice uttering his name so gently, calmly, suggests that she wasn’t lying. Maybe she has yet to run into any sort of trouble – and that’s a good sign.
“Y-Yeah, I’m fine too. Ran into a couple of shitheads but they were nothin’ –” He was lying, they definitely gave him a run for his money. Aside from a few scratches here and there, he was mostly fine… At least he wasn’t bleeding out of any of them. “I got a question for ya… How’ve you been walkin’ ‘round in this fog without bumpin’ into everythin’…?”
▲ At his reply, the monarch can’t help but look at him with some surprise. However, upon hearing that he made it out of the previous situations without coming to harm makes the blonde give a small sigh of relief now. Though the two of them were new friends, the fact still remained that they were friends and as such, Zelda would find herself quite worried should the other have become injured.
❝ Well, then, I am very glad to hear that you are in one piece! ❞ she smiles at him now, her smile teetering on the verge of becoming a grin.
❝ Fog...? ❞ she echoes his statement curiously, tilting her head as she does so. While the environment is reminiscent of the Hyrule Zelda alone had created due to her childish desires, she couldn’t say it was terribly foggy... At least not in the sense that she couldn’t see where she was going.
Perhaps Kanji’s perception of the city currently is different than the princess’s...?
❝ To me, there is no fog obstructing my view... Though, if that is what you see then perhaps we should stay together for a bit? I can lead you around, if that is suitable...! ❞
❝ you’re good enough. ❞
▲ She can’t help but pause at the young girl’s words, surprise contorting onto her features for a brief moment. This isn’t the first time she had heard such a phrase and yet despite that, she finds herself doubting it each and every time. After all, with the grave and horrible mistakes she has made within her lifetime, how could she be deserving of such praise?
No, she isn’t; everyone simply just doesn’t know better. If they knew of her crimes, surely everyone would be as disgusted with the monarch as she is with herself.
❝ … You think so? ❞ she smiles at the youth now, eyes closing as she does so.
❝ That is very kind of you to say; thank you. ❞
