[Zelos was out for the day, and Zelda had grown very used to his company in the week since Sola came back. Kind of disturbingly used to it, really. She decides to head out herself to do a little shopping and then go to the library. It seems like she has something on her mind, but when doesn't she?]

[ Libraries are a good haunt.

It doesn't help that Duke can walk really really quietly, and he's pale and white haired and red eyed, so maybe "haunt" is a very awkwardly appropriate word.

Don't mind him blinking once in recognition, then heading over to take a look at book titles. ]

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda is extremely into her book, so her ability to notice things around her is dulled significantly. When she looks up and sees Duke suddenly there, she drops what she was holding with a comical look of surprise. How had he been that quiet?!]

Oh! Ah, I'm sorry...

[The princess tries to pick her book back up quickly, hoping she didn't damage it.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ He's just that high level of a ranger. When Zelda drops her book, Duke half twitches to catch it. Books are good!

Ah, she had it. ]

Not intention to startle.

[zelda_hylia]

[Damn rangers. Her ears relax back into their normal position and she offers him a smile as she stands.]

No, I didn't think that you meant to. I should have moved away from the shelf while reading, anyway. I'm sure I am in the way. Are you looking for any book in particular?

[Zelda steps back from the shelf so that he can see all the titles.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ He's not sure how to deal with smiles. This is a headtilt that makes it so that he looks like he... might be smiling. But he really didn't change his expression. ]

Curiosity. [ He was going to see what you were reading, but now that he thinks about it.... ]

..... Something to do with sound. Perhaps that would be in.... [ Distracted. ]

[zelda_hylia]

[If he looks, she seems to have a title on time travel.]

Oh, right! For your spell work?

[That's alright, Duke. Zelda can smile enough for both of you!]

Magical tomes are over this way.

[And she's off! It's probably not good to move that quickly in the library, but Zelda is an expert at navigating the stacks.]

[Flap flap flap, look who's flying around the Nostalgia Nook and serenading unsuspecting residents! Butterfly is immediately attracted to Zelda and her long golden hair, and flutters over, landing in her thick tresses like a living barette.]

Well I keep on thinking about you, Sister Golder Hair surprise,
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I've been one poor correspondent and I've been too, too hard to find,
But that doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda looks around, not able to feel the butterfly in her hair. All she knows is that someone is singing a vaguely creepy song to her from VERY nearby and she can't see who.]

Who's there?!

[lyrewings]

[Technically, the most important part of that song was the golden hair bit; it consistently amazes Butterfly that people don't automatically know which part of his songs to focus on! He starts crawling up towards the top of her head, fanning his wings back and forth lazily.]

I always feel that somebody's watchin' me
And I have no privacy
I always feel that somebody's watchin' me
Is it just a dream?

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda pauses to locate the sound, ears twitching this way and that. If she has a stalker, she'll teach them a lesson. It sounds almost like the voice is coming from her head... she looks around for something reflective so she can get a glance behind her.

There's a butterfly? She reaches up to encourage it to crawl on her finger, still keeping her eyes peeled for any creepers.]

[lyrewings]

[Yay, new friend! Butterfly crawls onto her finger, batting his wings to show off their lovely purple color.]

I've been living in your cassette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a Capulet
On a balcony in your mind

In the city the lion slides
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet?
Did you ever look so nice?

And all the sounds dream for me

[zelda_hylia]

[Excuse Zelda as she stares a bit. How is that sound coming from a butterfly? It definitely is, though.]

...are you singing to me, or are you just singing?

[lyrewings]

[See, now Butterfly is going to be flirty and not sing, instead choosing to bat his wings at her. Look how pretty he is!]

Don't mind me, I only know Japanese songs.

[zelda_hylia]

[She pauses and looks around, moving to a corner before singing a song of her own quietly. If this is a magical song singing butterfly, the proper Hylian response is to return it with a song of her own.]

Don't look at me, don't catch me.
I'm a butterfly who got lost.
I sing freely with these wings no one can see.
They're hiding in your heart.

[lyrewings]

[Eeeeee! Butterfly goes into spasms of delight, flying in a circle around her head a few times before landing back on her hand. She sang him a song about butterflies!]

In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda smiles, wondering how many times she's going to have to sing to this butterfly before he gives her rupees or a heart piece or something like that. She should probably respond with a song about angels, right?]


If you strain your ears, you can probably hear it
Hey, that voice
I always feel something
That can't be put into words
That's an angel's voice

It leaves an echo
Like a melody fading into the darkness
It quietly descends in a deep blue aurora
I will also sing

[lyrewings]

[Let's see how long she keeps it up, shall we? Butterfly's song selections make sense to him and to his mun's iPod's shuffle feature, but it seems like people here have trouble understanding him, for some reason.]

Then she attacks me like a Leo,
When my heart is split like Rio,
But, I assure you my debts are real

I can’t find the words to say,
When I’m confused,
I’ve travelled half the world to say,
You are my muse

[zelda_hylia]

[Butterfly's song selections are perplexing indeed. Zelda has to think for a moment. Well, if she's supposed to attack like a lion, then she'll sing a song about them!]

Turn the stars at the centre of the world.
If you blink, a butterfly in a forest somewhere will dance.
The door you guard has a useless key.
It's an embarrassing story.
Though they often lick one another, lions are strong.

[...this really seemed to be easier for Link.]

[cinnaponpuppy]

[Hello pretty lady!

In front of the library was this guy with an arm full of tulips. He held one out to her, and gave a smile.]

You seem like you might need it.

[lyrewings]

[Butterfly could do this all day.]

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight,
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight!

[He twirls up off her hand, letting himself float gently back as he sings his favorite part of this particular song.]

AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeEEEEEeeeeeaweeeahbumbahbumbaweeeeeeee!

[radiantwingedone]

[ He's definitely interested, even if its really just seems to be an added bit of focus to the way he looks about.

And he just.. follows, at his normal speed of... not particularly fast at all. But Duke follows all the same, and ends up near her not too long after.

oo, magic books. ]

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda is beaming when they reach the tomes. She's kept herself from studying them just yet because she knows she won't be able to focus on anything else, but she's still very familiar with what goes where.

And she may or may not have a "to read" list.]

Here we are! Now were you looking for a way to transport sound, or perhaps some sort of telepathic communication?

[zelda_hylia]

[What? Why is this guy giving her flowers?! He doesn't seem to be a threat, though... She takes the tulip, looking shy.]

Thank you, sir. It is a lovely flower.

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda, unfortunately, cannot. She doesn't know an infinite amount of songs like Butterfly, though she does know quite a few!]

I'm sorry butterfly, but I think I am out of songs. I suppose I'm not suited to this quest?

[radiantwingedone]

Transport; perhaps a 'filter' would be applicable as telepathic, but basics first... [ If no one sees Duke for a month, Zelda may know why, given how focused he is on these books. ]
