Excuse you, mundane!

[zelda_hylia]

What do you mean, I am too noisy? You are the one who insisted on dragging me to that wretched city in the first place. Is it any surprise to you that I've become acquainted with people and I end up having a lot of things I am involved with? It's unacceptable for you to pretend I don't notice things simply because you "don't have the energy" to reply to everything!

Now stop complaining and allow me to complete the duties that you signed me up for.

Have an AU Link

[desert_fate]

Glad to see you sticking up for yourself for once Princess.

[Something about this Link just screamed Gerudo. His tanned skin, the accent in his voice and the way he carried himself. The more showing clothing didn't hurt the theory either.]

[zelda_hylia]

[Complete and total shock. What...

...what is Link wearing...]

Link?

[desert_fate]

That is my name, yes.

Why do you seem so confused?

[zelda_hylia]

[Momentary confusion is pushed aside. He looks like Link, his voice SOUNDS like Link, but the way he's speaking isn't exactly right, either...]

I apologize. I think I may not be the Zelda that you know. The Link that I know tends to run about in a green tunic and hat...

[desert_fate]

Not the Zelda I know?

[He was momentarily confused himself until he realized he and this Zelda weren't quite at each other's throat like he and his Zelda were.]

That makes sense. I'm guessing your Link is also pale like you?

[zelda_hylia]

[Sorry, evil Link, your hero-princess is in another castle.]

Yes, he is. Are you a Gerudo?

[What twisted sort of alternate time stream would involve Link being brought up in the Gerudo desert?! Actually, it's not impossible. His mother fled to the forest during the war, didn't she? She could have run all the way to the desert instead.]

[desert_fate]

[Oddly enough he's still a hero.]

Not biologically. My mother fled to the desert and gave me to the Gerudo women thinking they'd take me in based on her request as a woman.

It managed to work out since I'm not dead and I was raised by the best women in the world.

Sorry <3 ilu? :3

[halfhearted]

Your mun is right. You are rather noisy. What's the matter princess, can't get all of your gossip?

[zelda_hylia]

She has signed me up to greet all the newcomers to this city, but refuses to allow me to complete the duty. I wouldn't mind terribly except... well, I am signed up now. It's only proper to keep your word!

[halfhearted]

Talk about a boring job. Don't you have some subjects you can get to do that?

[zelda_hylia]

I'm afraid this isn't my kingdom. Regardless, it's not a job that I mind terribly. People are often quite confused upon their arrival. The sooner they know what's going on, the better. If we're lucky, one of them will even know a way out.

[radiantwingedone]

Are others not assigned the same duties? I am not part of the organization that greets, so uncertain.

[zelda_hylia]

They are, but I haven't seen others doing it frequently.

[Huff.]

Besides, I was outdoors that entire day! I would have seen those people, she should let me talk to them!

[Duke her life is suffering, don't you understand?]

[radiantwingedone]

And then wear yourself out with talking to every single new face?

[ He's somewhat amused. ]

Perhaps you should organize the greeters; shifts, so that all can take breaks. If you are uncomfortable with not knowing all who arrived, you could ask that they, once off a shift, report those who arrive.

[ Sorry he's not helping anything. ]

[zelda_hylia]

I'm not... worn out...

[It's not like she's about to pass out or anything, honestly! Definitely not! She's definitely not overworking herself trying to figure out the coral and she's definitely not heading for a hard crash tomorrow when it's at 10% and can't keep her awake any longer!]

...perhaps.

[radiantwingedone]

If you have been active since the coral ceased to be glowing at its best, then perhaps something incoming, if not current.

[ Zelda. Pace yourself. It's a good thing. It prevents collapsing in public. Which is also a good thing. ]

It would be a basis for delegation of activities; and while you would not have a first impression of each you would have interacted with, you could ask basics from those who did interact.

[zelda_hylia]

[Dammit, she's supposed to do the mothering in this Hylian/Duke-kitty relationship!]

You do realize that I'm not going to remember this conversation and I'll likely pass out anyway, don't you?

[radiantwingedone]

[ This is mothering? ]

Then I shall have to make this conversation again. [ Does he look like a smug kitty?

He's taking that statement as a "you have a good idea but I am still protesting". ]

:3c

[relinquishing]

[Sigh.]

You think muns would realize that some people just have a desire to be social. Nothing wrong with that.

[God knows his mun complains about it quite a bit. What's so wrong about getting involved, man?]

*tags while Nik is in bed*

[zelda_hylia]

Indeed. They should bother quieter people if they don't wish to be involved. You would think ours would have realized this after more than half a year!

How sneaky of you.

[relinquishing]

Hah. Maybe we just have more charm than they originally realized.

[zelda_hylia]

[And they have twice the charm when they're together!]

....

[Zelda stares up at the sky like it's going to make Mandie stop shipping things.]

Really, I'm... terribly sorry about her.

[relinquishing]

[Hesitant chuckle there, yep.]

Ah... no need to apologize, really. It's not like my mundane is any better, you know.

[zelda_hylia]

I suppose that's true. They're all terrible, aren't they? I won't let it trouble me too much, then.

[Besides, if she's going to be shipped, Guy and Duke aren't terrible choices! Neither one will try to touch her!]

[relinquishing]

Sounds like a plan.

Besides, in the end, it's important that you're happy, you know? Regardless of who your mun might want you with. You'd think we'd get a little more choice in the matter, anyways-- [He gives a childish roll of the eyes, followed by a chipper grin. Eh. Seems he's just willing to roll with the punches for now.

Not like his other super shippable option just came back to the city or anything - his mun seems a little torn.]
