@cutlassie liked for a starter!
A worried gaze swept over the training room as Marth entered, pushing open the door with a shove that seemed almost dejected. The prince was obviously disheveled - lacking his normal breastplate and pauldrons, his cape seemed to be fastened in a hurry as well, judging by the way it was almost hanging from his shoulder. Perhaps most notable was the lack of his signature tiara, which was the very reason for his ghastly appearance.
It had been late when Marth had stumbled up to his room the previous night, exhausted from a match that had gone on for what felt like centuries. It had been close - but in the end, his opponent had prevailed. He had never had much of a defense against projectile users. Falchion could only do so much to block lightning bolts. The prince had been so worn out by the match, he had cleaned himself up sluggishly, barely able to keep his eyes open when he had bathed, more than eager to get back to his room and fall asleep. It had only been upon waking this morning that he realized with a dawning horror - he had left his most prized possession in the bathroom.
It had been gone by the time he had raced down the hall, frantically looking in the stall he had occupied the previous night. From there, he had started asking anyone in his path if they had seen it - someone must have moved it, whether to return it to him, or keep it for themselves. So far, no one had been helpful.
His search had lead him here, now, looking around for anyone who might be of some assistance. It was surprisingly empty for this time of the day - there was only one person in the normally packed room, aside from himself. One of the Links... Marth had long respected their swordplay in battle, but he had never gotten much of an opportunity to talk at length with them...
“Ohayo gozaimasu.” He called the greeting out in his native tongue, throwing on a smile as he approached, though his worry still shone through in his eyes. “I am sorry to bother you, but...I am missing my tiara. Have you seen it, by any chance?”
