Where: Zelda and Zelos' house
Status: Complete/closed

Zelos Wilder says:

*Zelos was glad to find that the end of the upstairs hall had a balcony. At home, the balcony from is room is where he would go to have a quiet moment of introspection, or just a good brood if he was honest, and right now he needed one. That message of Estelle's... well, he'd mucked that up pretty badly. He closed his eyes as a cool breeze tussled his hair. How you got a breeze under water, he-

Zelos Wilder says:

had no idea, but it made him feel a little better.*

Zelda Hylia says:

*unfortunately, Zelda felt much the same about places to think as Zelos did. She just felt... guilty. Guilty for always upsetting that poor clone, guilty for putting Shizuo off somehow, guilty for what she'd done to the original Link... she seems somewhat surprised to see someone else in her spot*Oh. Umm.... hello.

Zelos Wilder says:

*Zelos looked over his shoulder, surprised at the intrusion. He'd momentarily forgotten about his roommate.* Hey. Can't sleep?

Zelda Hylia says:

Not really. *leans out over the balcony, sighing* Yourself?

Zelos Wilder says:

Not a wink. *He shifts a bit, making sure there's plenty of room by the railing.* Anything on your mind?

Zelda Hylia says:

Mmm. Mostly about the new arrival from my world. *she's fairly certain he saw the post but was too polite to comment since she was flipping out*

Zelos Wilder says:

*He had, but since she now brought it up he could reveal it* Ah, yeah, wearing your friend's face, right? That's got to be uncomfortable.

Zelda Hylia says:

Quite. I keep being cruel to him without intending it, I'm afraid.

Zelos Wilder says:

I dunno, if he's running around pretending to be someone you care about then maybe he deserves it.

Zelda Hylia says:

He was created by a spell. He may not be able to help it. *looks down* It would probably be for the best if I avoided him...

Zelos Wilder says:

*Looks at her sidelong* You don't seem to want to.

Zelda Hylia says:

I don't, not really. He would be better off, though.

Zelos Wilder says:

*grins a little ruefully but sardonically, looking back out over the balcony. She sounds just like him.* How would it be better?

Zelda Hylia says:

*pauses, then looks at Zelos, almost like she's blaming him for making her talk* His... original, I suppose you would call it. I hurt him.

Zelos Wilder says:

I'm sure you didn't mean to, whatever it was. *It wasn't bait, even though he knew she would likely continue with a protest at the statement. He was letting her know in a round-about way that she didn't -have- to tell him anything, and anything she did say was in confidence.*

Zelda Hylia says:

No, I did not mean to. That makes it more dangerous, doesn't it? *she's not going to protest. it's her very nature that hurt Link, nothing else. it wasn't intentional*

Zelos Wilder says:

I guess it might, but I can't see you doing something too bad, you're a smart girl. *It was more a statement of observation than a compliment*

Zelda Hylia says:

I took his childhood. *takes out her SFC as a distraction, fiddling with it and proceeding to offer all sorts of advice she probably isn't qualified to give*

Zelos Wilder says:

*That statement sent both of Zelos' eyebrows skyrockting into his headband. He only knew of one way to "take" someone's childhood and not even he was that cruel. No, there must be something he's misunderstanding here.* What do you mean?

Zelda Hylia says:

I meant what I said, what else? *looks up at him, then notices his facial expression and fumbles* N-not like that!

Zelda Hylia says:

I... have visions. Our world was in great danger... I foresaw that he was the hero meant to save it. But it was too early...

Zelda Hylia says:

He went into a deep, deep sleep for seven years when he was only ten, only to awaken to a life of duty and battle.

Zelos Wilder says:

*His face remains impassive but there's a subtle change in his demeanor all the same. Destiny? Not something he was a fan of.*

Zelda Hylia says:

I thrust that fate upon him. I may not have meant to, but I hurt him all the same. He didn't complain, though. He gladly saved us all without a second thought. *sounds like she has mixed feelings about it. part of her wanted Link to be angry with her for what she had done*

Zelda Hylia says:

...your friend Colette seems like that sort of person too. It is why I didn't want you to have lied to her.

Zelos Wilder says:

..yeah, well. *Runs a hand through his hair and turns around so his back is to the street, leaning against the railing* People like that, they don't think of themselves, do they.

Zelda Hylia says:

No, they really don't. *not sure if she's envious or just afraid for those people*

Zelda Hylia says:

That's enough about that, I suppose!

Zelos Wilder says:

*Looks at her, surprised that he's not getting asked about his problems when he's asked about hers* Think you can sleep now?

Zelda Hylia says:

Hardly. *smiles. oh, she'll probably ask him later, but she'd rather he just volunteer it* Dwelling on it does not seem productive, though. I think I will take his weapon to the library and study it further. Perhaps I will be less conflicted if I can learn more about how he was made.

Zelos Wilder says:

Good luck I guess. *Turns back around to look out at the city again* I wouldn't know how to deal with it either.

Zelda Hylia says:

It is a strange situation, isn't it? *straightens herself* Oh, and Zelos... you can feel free to talk to me, as well. I won't force you, though.

Zelos Wilder says:

*Waves a hand without looking at her* Me? I don't have any problems worth talking about. Just trying to figure out which hunny I should see tomorrow~

Zelda Hylia says:

Hmm. *raises an eyebrow, but true to her word, she doesn't push him. he was far too understanding though, she knows he has something* Goodnight, then.

Zelos Wilder says:

Don't let the bed bugs bite~♥

Zelda Hylia says:

*looks at him oddly*I have no bugs in my bed. ...did you bring vermin into the house?!

Zelos Wilder says:

*looks over his shoulder at her* It's just a saying, chill out.

Zelda Hylia says:

Oh, I see. What a strange thing to say... *wanders off to pick up the sword and keep speaking with Estelle on the SFC*

Zelos Wilder says:

*Shakes his head. Smart as she is, Zelos is quite sure Zelda's much younger than she acts by the sheer amount of life information she doesn't seem to know. He sighs and looks up at the dark water above the city. Even so... she might understand, if he ever felt like talking.*
