[Zelda seems to be back. And like a sweet fairytale it's at the stroke of midnight.

She sounds firm. Firm, but distant. Clearly she has a lot on her mind.]...It would seem that things are beginning to follow a path of 'uniformity' once more

Glad to see joo be....ok.

[It doesn't feel right saying that. He can tell that she's far from ok.]

[oblique_wisdom]

I did not mean to worry you, Kevas. I will attempt to keep that from occurring again. Should I need time to myself, I will inform in the future.

Thank you for your concern.

[She's touched. Really. Even if it doesn't sound it.]

[pimp_hat]

It be okay. Long as joo be alright, it be okay.

Joo really don't gotta t'ank me.

[Even if she's upset at the moment, he's relieved to have her back. He wasn't sure how much longer he could have stood Sheik.]

[oblique_wisdom]

...Of course. Many people aboard would not let anything happen to me. I appreciate the kind thoughts many seem to have for the sake of my status.

[Leave a message his ass. Jak shows up at the arcade as soon as he sees Zelda's post to ShipNET, looking around for her.]

Zelda?

[Commentlog]

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda's got every intent to work on her accuracy. She'll need it in Carnival, after all. What she doesn't expect to see is Jak.

Waiting for her.

...What?]

......?

[She covers her surprise with a sweeping curtsy.]

Were you looking for me?

[Gods. What a stupid question. She knows the answer to that.]

[shadesofeco]

[He lets out a sigh of relief, then tilts his head, smiling a little.]

I wanted to make sure Sheik kept his promise.

[For a moment she simply stares at him. He was worried about her. Lifting her bare hands, she shares the palms and the backs to him.]

I am safe. I apologize for the difficulty he has caused you.

[wolvesxeyes]

Seems like a lot of people worry about you. It's good to have such close friends, isn't it?

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda pauses. Maybe she has a lot more who worry about her than she thought...]

I am privileged to have people care for me to such an extent. I wish to repay them with the same likeness.

[wolvesxeyes]

Mhm, nothing wrong with worrying about someone a little. It's only when you let that worry override everything else that it becomes a problem.

[oblique_wisdom]

Yes... You are quite right about that.
All things are appropriate in moderation.

[thenotmagician]

[Oh God Zeke feels like such a horrible bastard please don't hate him forever Zelda he's just a stupid human guy with a lucky streak ffff]

Zelda?

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zeke. Zelda's still annoyed with you.]

...Hm? Yes?

[thenotmagician]

Y'okay? Haven't heard from you in a few days.

[oblique_wisdom]

I seem to be as well as I can be given the circumstances, Sir Zeke. Thank you for worrying.

[missmimmi]

Are you all right, Zelda?

[oblique_wisdom]

Miss Mimmi... Yes. I seem to be fine. Thank you for your concern. I appreciate it quite a bit.

Are you well?

omg why is email failing today

[missmimmi]

If you are sure you are all right...

Ja, I am well. Danke.

It's failing for me too. I believe it's a side-effect of the database malfunction they had earlier.

[oblique_wisdom]

I am. Really.

[She thinks.]

I am so glad to hear that. This ship is treating you well?
