On drops and plots

[zelda_hylia]

It's quite rude of you to "drop" a game, you know. I certainly wouldn't leave Link and Sheik voluntarily. I suppose there's no going back on it at this stage, is there? At least you had the decency to speak with them first.

[Her mun wails and gnashes her teeth.]

Don't beat yourself up too terribly. I'm pleased with our other game at the moment, if that makes you feel better. I have always wanted to learn more about magic, and this is a perfect opportunity. If you disregard your ridiculous shipping thoughts, you can consider yourself to have my approval on this plot point.

Shipping, Zelda?

[She giggles.]

I see your mundane is up to no good again.

[zelda_hylia]

She is never up to any good. What is wrong with mundanes, thinking that every little interaction means instant romance?

[gun_symphony]

Well, my romance wasn't even thought of by my own mundane, yet I think it's turning out well. A little faith never hurt, you know.

[zelda_hylia]

But I - I have to marry for political reasons once I get home, you know! All of this silly shipping is just...

[Mundane provides a link with a trollface.]

...I hate her sometimes.

[gun_symphony]

Yes, but none of this carries on once we return to our own worlds, Zelda. In fact, you won't even remember it.

So therefor, you can still have a relationship here without ruining your family's marriage reasoning.

And what if we find some way to be able to travel from Vatheon back to our homes someday, and people retain their memories? I'll have ruined myself for marriage!

[zelda_hylia]

...not that I want to ruin myself!

Zelda, now you're over-analyzing things. You and I both know that is impossible. Besides, even if it were to happen, then you would have the experience to know if you really wanted to have a relationship of that sort.

And besides, marrying for political reasons is the wrong reason to get married!

You marry someone you love and who loves you.

[zelda_hylia]

That is not how it works for royalty... but you are sweet, Rhi'a.

[gun_symphony]

Zelda...

[She frowns.]

You don't have to follow those traditions. It's your life, do what you want.

[zelda_hylia]

It is what I want. I want nothing more than to ensure the safety and comfort of my people. I love them far more than I could ever love an individual.

[gun_symphony]

Zelda, you say that without even experiencing that kind of love. Then you shut yourself off from it when you don't even have to worry about your people.

People who have that kind of feelings for each other would do anything for the other. Is that why you don't want it? Because you're afraid you'd put your lover and yourself first over your people?

[zelda_hylia]

[Considering that is exactly what Zelda was afraid of when she sent away Link... yeah she's done with this conversation.]

[blessedbyfarore]

It's okay, Zelda. My mun's not mad at yours or anything, she says that if it's not fun any more, there's no point in drawing it out.

[He gives her a warm smile.] And anyway, it was really nice getting to meet each other properly, right?

[zelda_hylia]

It truly was. I wish that it could have been for longer, but perhaps it is better this way.

[blessedbyfarore]

Right! But maybe you can come back some day - if things get better?

[zelda_hylia]

Maybe so. I would like to see you again properly.

[blessedbyfarore]

Well, my mun says it'll be really fun in... how can we all fit in a box, mun? She says we can still see each other, even if it's not in Luceti. That'll be nice, right?

[zelda_hylia]

In a musebox? Yes, I think that will be fun! Though I'm not entirely sure what a "derp" is.

[blessedbyfarore]

Me either - mun, why are you giggling? - but it should be pretty fun! And Sheik can come, too - and the other Link.
