Hiding out (backdated to April 2nd)

[zelda_hylia]

Who: Zelda, Duke, and anyone that actually manages to find them
Where: Duke's forest hermit home
When: April 2nd, after Zelda visits Shizuo
Style: Brackets, baby
Status: CLOSED AGAINST CHOSENS GO AWAY ZELOS

[After a long cry on Shizuo, Zelda has decided that the best course of action is to hide and gather her composure again until she's built up a wall big enough to keep her from breaking down over everything. She learned during the thought bubble curse that hiding from people is surprisingly difficult when you don't have a place to hide in. The forest seems like the best choice for a hiding place, but there's still the matter of where to hide exactly.

She finds herself wandering off in the direction that Duke went when they'd visited the forest together, half hoping to locate his residence. She can't imagine the mage being the prying sort, he's likely to let her sit in a corner and read quietly for a day or two. She hopes, at least. When she finally locates the hut, she calls out his name softly.]

Duke?

. . . . . . [ He'll spend a moment just.. cocooned and staring at her. This wasn't clear? ]

... thought, said. Will take desk.

[zelda_hylia]

I will be alright here. Please, I'll feel badly if you change your habits too much for my sake.

[Oh no, it was clear, she just disagrees.]

[radiantwingedone]

Guest. Better sleeping location. [ A short shoo like motion with his book. ]

[zelda_hylia]

[Crap, way to hit her right in the manners. There's little escape from that logic!]

I... oh, very well.

[She scoots her way over to the blanket pile, picking and choosing before realizing there are... actually quite a LOT of blankets here. After a little thought she separates it into two nests, about four feet apart for modesty's sake. Deal with it, Duke. Nest two is yours.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ He likes his blanket nest nice and nestlike. thus large amounts of blankets. ]

... [ A tiny nod.

Oh. A thought. ]

Careful, in morning. May confuse wildlife. [ Don't roll out of bed and over a squirrel or three by accident, Duke means.

But he'll put aside his book, and... more or less twist himself into his nest. ]

[zelda_hylia]

I will be sure to not harm anything.

[She adjusts herself, but faces away from Duke. Zelda's been known to spend her nights staring into space from time to time, and she doesn't want to frighten him.]

Goodnight, Duke.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke's head is somewhere among the blankets as well, and her reply is a sleepy rumble of 'i heard you'.

followed a moment or two later by a somewhat awkward ]

.... night.
