Tea party!

Who: Zelda, Zelos and Guy
Where: Ordo 3
When: Early evening, the 8th
Style: Brackets brackets brackets
Status: Closed

[Zelda informs Zelos that they will be having a visitor after she gets off the SFC with Guy, then goes about making some rose hip tea. She still has the cake that she'd been planning to invite Shizuo over to share with her and Zelos, but... that won't be happening anytime soon. After some hesitation, she sets it on the table as well. Izaya's tea set. Shizuo's cake. It hurts, but it spurs her on too. She can't despair, she has to figure Vatheon out.]

Oh, I see how it is! Forget all my hard work trying to teach you but the blonde guy makes a suggestion and you jump right on it, eh? I'm so unappreciated!

[Whine whine whine! He's not serious though, as evidenced by how he leans backwards over the chair's arm with the back of his hand against his forehead histrionically. Woe is him~ No one knows his suffering~

He cracks one eye open to see how his audience reacts, especially Zelda.]

[Ahhhh, the poor girl. If only he hadn't heard that story with nobility before, haha...

The look of understanding from Zelda is enough to get a subtle chipperness back into Guy's smile... which instantly bursts into a chuckle at Zelos' melodramatic display. Oh geez. You drama queen. Guy places his cup back down and raises his hands in mock protest.]

Hey, hey, easy! Hah. Not everyone is able to explain everything the right way - I just said what came to mind.

[Aaaand shooting him a more mischievous smirk.] Or hey, maybe you're just doing a poor job with your word choices. Who knows.

[She doesn't seem particularly embarrassed by Zelos's jabs.]

You tried to make it sound like some strange kind of tribal dance! Chemical interactions aren't instinct Zelos. They're far easier to understand than that. Honestly, I'm not sure why I didn't think of cooking as chemistry before now...

[Probably exactly because of people like Zelos trying to tell her about art and taste and flair. Those things have no place in science you silly people! At least not until you get a handle on the basics.]

Because it's totally boring that way. Honestly you people with your science, sucking the fun and mystery out of everything.

[Ouch. Well, them's the breaks! Though y'know, maybe they just haven't had enough time together. Guy really is fairly well suited. He gets Zelda's overly logical wavelength, and he won't lay a finger on her that she wouldn't want either. He can't. Pretty sweet deal from where Zelos is sitting. He'll just file this information away for later~...]

[PFFT.] What, are you implying science can't be fun? Aw, Zelos, I'm hurt!

Come on, have a sense of adventure. The beauty of science is that you CAN explore from those boundaries of the world, as well as expound on why they exist in the first place! It's a never-ending field of possibilities and experimentation and ground-breaking...

[He leans back, crossing his arms with a raised brow and a smile.] You're really missing out if you just consider it boring. Nothing boring about using your head.

Oh, certainly! Discovering the limits of natural laws and how they can bend is fascinating! It doesn't just apply to mana and magic, either. You'll have to teach me more about the limits of technology, Guy. I think that may be what's used in this place. Have you ever heard of nanotechnology?

[She's starting to reach out an arm like she's going to pat him, look out!]

It might be tech but it seems like we're the power source.

[Yeah he's just gonna watch Zelda touch Guy. Can't say it's not entertaining to see how high he jumps when that happens.]

[Guy was more than ready to respond to that pessimistic little comment from Zelos, but he catches that subtle movement from the corner of his vision...

His eyes widen and he scrambles backwards off his seat with an incoherent squawk, stumbling across the floor a few steps with his hands flung defensively in front of him--]

[--and after a moment of trembling, his expression goes sheepish, lowering his arms just slightly.]

S-sorry. N-nothing personal or anything, I just--

[Both of them can feel free to ignore that octave jump in his vocal tone. He knows he doesn't need to explain this to either of them at this point - they know well enough.]

[Zelda looks abashed, cheeks turning pink and ears pointing downward slightly.]

No, I apologize. I got carried away and forgot about it. It will not happen again, I assure you. I don't make a habit of it usually, but I do not mind taking on Sheik's form instead if it will set you at ease.

[She doesn't mind, but it's still someone else's body. Zelda prefers to only do it when it's necessary. Carrying Sola home? Necessary. Chatting on the couch? A little less so.]

[Not quite as impressive as Guy's leap away while they'd been out shopping that once but he still scooted several feet. Not bad! Or maybe the shorter distance correlates with Guy being sweet on Zelda? Who knows.]

Don't do that; it's pretty creepy if you ask me.

[He much prefers you as yourself, Zelda~ As for Guy, he doesn't comment. He'd noted the real fear the last time this happened. Comical as the reactions are, he's not such a heel as to mock Guy openly. Contrary to popular opinion, Zelos does have a sense of tact.]

[Tact indeed, psh. Now what was that he just said about choice of words?]

[Siiigh. He felt like a broken record, having to deal with this again. But whatever, it wasn't like it got easier as time went by or anything. He awkwardly steps back over to his seat, his face still a bit anxious, but softer than before.]

Don't worry about it. Things happen, sometimes we forget. It's only human. Don't beat yourself up or change yourself over it or anything.

[And there's a soft smile.] Besides, I'd prefer you like this, if you don't mind.

If you're certain... I prefer it as well. It's the form of my guardian. He would want me to take it to protect myself, I am sure, but it still seems just a little strange to do so casually.

[A glance at Zelos.]

Creepy is one way to put it, I suppose...

Though I am quite certain I don't engage in the sorts of activities you would if you were to suddenly become female.

[When Zelda makes that face, it's time to run.]

[Wait did she really just...?]

[Have a laugh! Sorry Zelda, but that's no secret.]

Hah! Yeah I probably wouldn't leave my room for at least a day for starters, considering I'd be the hottest chick under the sea~♥

[lolol you'll have to do better than that if you're trying to unsettle him, hunny.]

[Oh really now. Guy highly doubts that.

But hey, don't mind him. He'll let Zelda have her moment of teasing. It's highly amusing.]

You did make quite a lovely woman, actually! I preferred you as a unicorn, though.

[Smile~!]

[Oh shit, he'd actually forgotten about that...]

[You wanna bring that up? Well fine then!]

I was too distracted by your state of undress to remember much else during that curse, honestly♥

[...

...

Wha--?

...

Pffffft, oh god, where WAS he during all this? Put two and two together, honestly, and he has a pretty good assumption.]

Haaahahahahahahaha.... I can't say I remember either of you in such drastic states recently. I take it you both had adventures with that curse from two months ago?

[Not that he was asleep for that or anything. Or stole a few first kisses. It's not something he likes to dwell on.]

[Zelos, that's not fair!]

Ah, that is... yes, it was during the fairytale curse. I remembered who I was eventually, I found some clothes!

[The princess twists at her hair anxiously, not enjoying recalling the fact that many people in Vatheon have seen her completely naked. Goddesses preserve her.

Yes, now she's really blushing.]

[Well damn, he feels a little bad for bringing it up if she's going to react like that, as cute as it is. He laughs loudly to cover it, trying to bring the attention off her and her embarrassment.]

I'd have rather been naked than a horse, to be honest! That curse wasn't so bad though, considering the ones before and after it.

[Topic change is a go. She looks uncomfortable enough, and his own face flushes a bit at the mention of what had happened to her. Oi - not that the topic is something even remotely appropriate for him to get involved in. Not without a slap in the face, at least.]

As... uncomfortable as it may have been, at least it's something that's over and done with. It's not like these curses are merciful to their victims or anything - the least we can do is take them in good stride when we have the opportunity.

[And simply bear with them otherwise.]
