[After she finished her text conversation with Kanaya and had touched the coral, Rose sat down on one of the benches to wait for Kanaya to show up. Or rather Kanaya in Rose's body.]

[Rose nods and follows Kanaya to the shop.]

Yes, I have. I have to admit, I have been quite curious for some time what it's like from your side of things. Though I had only intended to ask for a description. I never imagined I might learn from a practical standpoint.

It's not something I ever expected to have the chance to experience either. I was affected by this curse last time, but the timing was much better. I had a more rigorously set feeding schedule then too, before my donor left the bubble. You would have liked her...

[It's not to long at all before they arrive and Kanaya opens the door. Luckily she never bothers to lock up, or else she'd have to hope Rose grabbed them before coming out.]

There's chairs in back. That would be the most comfortable place I think.

[cephalopodcounselor]

Would I have? Tell me something about her.

[Really. She's curious.

Rose steps into the store and takes a look around. before heading toward the back.]

Then the chairs in the back it is.

Her name was Zelda. She was... incredibly kind, with a fierce intellect. She came from a fairly primitive world, yet she had very little trouble acclimating to the technology available here. Her ability to use magic from her world helped greatly, both from the practical application of healing magic, and for a certain level of existential distress I was suffering when I first got here. She had an intense scientific curiosity which she applied to help me understand what exactly it meant to be a rainbow drinker.

I am convinced that she saved this city from disaster on many occasions, just as I'm convinced she was taken away from us for causing the scientists too many problems.

[Princess Zelda... it's been months since Kanaya's talked about her, but she hasn't forgotten at all.]

[It only takes a moment for the two of them to make their way into the back room and sit down. There's almost a feeling of vertigo, looking up at herself. Being on the other side of this exchange was strange enough when it was just theory, but looking at her own body, at Rose, and knowing what they are going to do next? It's bizarre to a disorienting degree. But it needs to be done, so as always Kanaya won't back down.]
