[After gathering a little information about Vegeta, Zelda decides to try and find him for herself. She doesn't want to speak with him, just observe him a little. The largest lead she has about him is that he's hitting every restaurant in town. She can be found in one early morning, sitting off to the side with a glass of water and just watching.]

Yes...I do.

[Her normal smile is replace with a frown. Despite trying to hide it...she looks sad.]

Or at least...I did before I came here. If I were to go back...they might continue.

[zelda_hylia]

It is a terrible burden. I can see why you would want to stay here.

[She pats Rhi'a's arm gently.]

It is a pity those that control this place are not more openly communicative. I would love to know what it is about Vatheon that blocks visions.

[gun_symphony]

I know it is selfish, but it is difficult. I'd rather live my life than be an observer in it.

[Still a bit sad.]

It's probably the coral.

[zelda_hylia]

[She takes both of Rhi'a's hands. Signless would scold her and say that this was definitely the time for hugging, but she's just not comfortable doing it often.]

It is not selfish at all. You can't control the desire to act on your visions forever. Staying here... you are protecting yourself as well as others.

[gun_symphony]

I...probably could control it...but...

[But it would swallow her in the end. Eat away at her until there's nothing left. That would probably be the end of her. No...staying here...no matter how much it hurt, was the only option.]

[zelda_hylia]

[An expression like that is enough to trigger Zelda's maternal instincts, even if Rhi'a is a great deal older than she is. She hugs the other woman gently, speaking in a soft voice.]

But you would no longer be yourself. This is better. Do not feel badly for wanting to stay.

ZELDA IS BEST MAMA ;A;

[gun_symphony]

[Rhi'a hugs Zelda back, tighter than she had. Rhi'a wasn't going to cry, but...this...felt nice. She felt better now, with the princess comforting her. Zelda certainly knew what to say to people, at least.]

...thank you, Zelda. Thank you for everything.

*headcanons that Zelda mothers entire country after becoming queen*

[zelda_hylia]

Think nothing of it. I am only speaking the truth, after all.

[Zelda could have stopped herself from acting on the visions back home, but then she wouldn't have been Zelda. That's just how it was.]

*Supports it as best headcanon ever~*

[gun_symphony]

I suppose you are. And they say that the truth will set you free...after all.

[Not letting go just yet.]

[zelda_hylia]

[Not accustomed to long hugs, she starts to get a little embarrassed but doesn't want to ruin Rhi'a's improved mood. She pats her back a little awkwardly.]

Ah, did... you have anything else you wanted to do today, Rhi'a?

[gun_symphony]

[Rhi'a gets the hint soon enough and lets go.]

I'm not sure, really. Perhaps we could spend the day together? A...girl's night out, I think it's called...?

[Except it's not night, Rhi'a. -___-]
