[Running water in the background. Well, not so much 'running' as just 'apparent'. Zelda's on the first deck, and thoughtful as ever.]I am not so desperate for answers. I will acquire them in my own way

'Twas music soothed the savage beast; you're to hard on yourself, Zelda.

[oblique_wisdom]

I have heard this before. On the contrary, I would not say I am hard on myself at all. Some are simply not hard enough.

[wolvesxeyes]

Seems to be a popular saying no matter where you're from. Now, see, I believe that that depends on the situation and the person. If one is not responsible for a situation, they have no reason to blame themselves.

And as is the case here, I think you blame yourself to much. I sound like a pysch major geez.

[oblique_wisdom]

I only said it was a possibility. I would hope it not to be such, but I cannot deny that it is at the very least--possible. I know not to think so harshly. I am just the same as everyone else here. I am sorry for worrying you, Sarea.

[hylian_courage]

Do you still have the Ocarina on you, Zelda?

[oblique_wisdom]

I certainly do. I consider it an extension of myself, I suppose. It is important to me.

[hylian_courage]

Mmm...

[Well, he certainly won't ask for it, then. That's okay, though, he doesn't mind.]

I wonder if we could find a similar style of ocarina on the boat somewhere. Then I could play with you, maybe.

[oblique_wisdom]

[She thinks about this.]

Oh... This is true. I took it from you when I sent you back. Well, when I was supposed to send you back. Hm...

[Does she give it back to him...?]

I would like it if we could play together. Maybe we can ask around?

[pimp_hat]

Nevah knew joo be a musician Princess.

[oblique_wisdom]

I would not call myself a musician. I simply... enjoy music. I am capable of playing, of course. It is just simply not commonly thought of as public knowledge. No one has ever asked me about it.

Do you play any music, Kevas?

[pimp_hat]

Maybe I should start askin' joo more 'bout joorself den eh?

Here and dere. It be sometin' to pass da time.

[When he's not drinking himself stupid.]

[oblique_wisdom]

I assure you; I am not so interesting. Besides, if you learned more about me, would that not spoil the surprise a little? Do you not like me being a little more enigmatic?

I would like it very much if you would play for me sometime.

[farfairersoul]

...Of course Jak has five fingers, what kind of question is that?

[oblique_wisdom]

[Zelda laughs. It's an honest sound.]

I thought someone might ask me about that. It occurred to me that I have never actually paid attention to Jak's hands. It was simply something I thought I would verify.

[farfairersoul]

...

[...]

How do you not notice if a person is lacking or overabundant in body parts, Princess?

[oblique_wisdom]

Well, you see, I never look at his hands. It is not as though I fail to pay attention. I think I just take for granted that everyone has five fingers, but the trolls aboard this ship only seem to have three.

[She corrects herself.]

Two. Thumbs are not fingers, and I was told they have two fingers and a thumb. Technically I suppose that means Jak really has four fingers and a thumb. As do I. And as do you, I will assume until shown otherwise.
