[ After someone else came to be with Zelos, Duke moves back out into the woods, to where he'd set up his house... and sort of sits there.

He needs to think about this.

[The tea is just a simple chamomile. She's been drinking quite a bit of it since Zelos died for the calming effect. It has a mild flavor for the most part - maybe slightly bitter, but the cake balances it nicely. The smell alone is quite relaxing. Zelda smiles at the squirrels a bit before looking to Duke.]

It's fairly mild. I hope it's alright.

You don't have any preferences as far as flavor goes? I won't be offended terribly if you don't like it.

[You have to have things that you like and dislike, Duke! Honestly, you're so strange sometimes.]

Mint, is it? I will remember.

[The tea is making her a little sleepy, so she finishes it off and sets it down, moving to braid her hair like she tends to do before bed. She considers offering it to Duke as well, though she's not sure the squirrels would appreciate their nesting material suddenly being neatly bound.

Still, his hair is pretty. Zelda looks at it quietly.]

[Because she wants to make something he likes! She notices him looking somewhat curious at her (well, curious as far as Duke is concerned) and smiles a little sheepishly, lifting her braid.]

Would you like me to do yours as well? You have lovely hair.

[Duke is just... silly. Taking that as a "do as you please", Zelda moves behind him and starts to finger comb his hair from the bottom up to avoid snarling it. She would usually be a bit more reserved, but does it even matter at this point? It's just his hair, and she's always wanted to touch it, and the past couple days have been awful and why not?

As she expected, it's soft.

Yes, Duke, all the Hylians love your hair.]

[The purring noise doesn't register with her at first other than making her feel sleepy as well. She'd tried to sleep before, but she had failed for the most part, assaulted with nightmares of Zelos becoming a monster or just failing to revive at all, of someone coming to seek vengeance on Duke and kill him too...

But Zelos's key crest is repaired, and she's here with Duke. She won't let anyone fight him. Not because he can't protect himself, but because he could go too far. Just as she had protected him from himself when he was a sphinx by answering all his questions, she would continue to do so now by keeping people who were angry with him away.

Oh! The sphinx... that's where she heard this noise! She'd thought it was because he was mostly a cat, but here he is, doing it as a human! She wishes that he was a cat again, she'd dearly love to curl up and lay her head on the source of that noise and just fall asleep. Zelda finishes braiding his hair and ties it securely.]


It's a little early, but shall we go to bed?

[Zelda moves the baskets inside and closes them firmly, taking out her own blankets and setting up something fairly comfortable near Duke. After a few moments she reaches out close enough to pet his bangs again, just wanting to hear that sound.

She should really get a cat, but she likes Duke better.]

[It's easier to fall asleep like this than it was the night before with Zelos's body in the next room - easier by far. Within a few minutes her fingers have stilled and she's drifted off into a deep sleep.]
