[She sounds remarkably well in comparison to how things have gone in the recent weeks. She may sound calm and composed, but there is nothing forlorn in the way she speaks. It is straight forward and thoughtful, but all the same sufficient

Welcome back Princess.

[While he's happy she's returned, Kevas can't help but notice the sudden disappearance of Sheik. How curious.

Sounds like she already found Link in the infirmary. Well, at least he can avoid that awkward conversation.]

I be sorry 'bout da liddle mon. Found him half dead in da hallway. Barely managed to get him help time. Be lookin' like he got hit wid one of dem hexes from Asad.

[Now with the bad news out of the way he can move on to the good. She'll be sure to be interested in this.]

Speakin' of Carnival, it just so happens dat I be havin' a map of da place.

[Sheik was nice enough to tell Zelda about Link after lecturing her about her closed nature. It's the only reason Zelda even knows. Of course, the moment she found out about it, she had to go see him.

She makes a face and her ears twitch.]

Asad...? Right... [The same guy Zeke was talking about.] Thank you for helping him. I apologize for not being there.

[She immediately picks up at his other comment.]

!!! What?? Really? Are you serious, Kevas?

[Yeah that definitely got her attention. No need mentioning what else he found. At least not yet. She just got back and it wouldn't do her any good telling her everything.]

Very. Dere be no more runnin' into dat place blind. Still, best be havin' a plan before we be goin' back in dere.

[The troll doesn't want a repeat performance of what happened last time.]

I am not ready to go back just yet.

[She hesitates. No. She's definitely not ready. She needs to fix things completely with Jak. There are just some things he really needs to be aware of. Acutely aware of. She wants to feel settled in before doing anything dangerous.

And she wants Jak to come along.]

...N-not yet. Soon, though. I want to go soon. Anything special on the map? Landmarks or anything?

...Your Highness, if I may. Even if this isn't Hyrule and you'd rather we all address you normally, there's characteristics that set people apart and should always be respected. Kindness and wisdom -from yourself, not the Triforce- are some of those characteristics.

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda is touched by those words and it reflects within her voice.]

You may call me as you see fit. I had only meant that while I may be the princess of Hyrule, aboard this ship, that means very little. It has been shown to me time and time again.

I am not worthy of any particular special treatment, and perhaps it would allow me to humble myself by being allowed to experience things as all people do. Do you think it is not right of me to think that?

[farmhandhero]

...only because of my upbringing, Your Highness. As a person, though, I think that mindset is part of what makes you admirable.

[oblique_wisdom]

You flatter me with those words, Sir Link. You always see me with kind eyes. I feel privileged that I can portray myself like that for you.
