[Zelda will not be commenting nor going into detail on what happened just twenty-four hours ago. It will not even gain an honorable mention in this post.

When she does speak, her voice is extremely level and very well controlled. This is not the typical Princess, here.I seem to have misplaced my crown. It is not hard to miss. If anyone finds it, I

Is... everything all right?

[scionofwisdom]

[Oh, she remembers you. She brought you pants last time the situation was reversed.]

...

Quite fine.

[Lies.]

[gunsandhonor]

... Anything else you need?

[scionofwisdom]

[It takes her a considerable effort to keep her voice calm. Even then, it shakes just the slightest bit.]

I do...not think so. Thank you.

[She's heard something about this; missing clothes and such. Couldn't just be a tiara, is it? Could the dress she stumbled upon in her 'closet' be one of the missing ones? She certainly doesn't recognize it.]

Are you... by chance missing anything else? I have a dress here that looks awfully well-made... It looks fit for a princess! And if you're missing your crown, then perhaps I have found your dress as well?

[scionofwisdom]

[She clears her throat.]

Yes, actually - I am. I seem to have misplaced a few...items.

[onlylipstouch]

Oh, well if you'd like, I can bring you your dress? It's positively exquisite...

[scionofwisdom]

I would very much appreciate it if you could do so. It is one of the last remaining reminders of home that I have here.

[seagullmun]

I might've found it. But I think it's broken. Looks kinda... dangly, actually. Why do you have a crown? You win a pageant or something?

[Lenny has dibs on the earrings!]

[scionofwisdom]

[Her hope dies when he mentions dangly.]

I believe you have found another set of ornaments of mine. [She rubs her forehead.]

I have a crown because I am Hyrule's ruler.

[seagullmun]

Who?

Oh, so you hang these on a tree or something? A small one, I guess. Like a bush? A little holiday shrub? That's really classy.

[scionofwisdom]

I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule.

...

Not quite, but you are close. Are you available to bring them to me?

[She is really not into leaving right now.]

Yes.

[She just exhales slowly, and opens her door. Hello, Ganondorf. Have a very pale Zelda standing in her door.]

[Ridley hasn't made himself known over the comms. He's merely been listening. This voice however... it sounds familiar. It couldn't possibly be her. She was dead. He had made sure of that. He lets out a low hiss that's only just audible on the comm before going to storm off to where he left the corpse.]

[scionofwisdom]

[On a normal basis, Zelda would ask to know who is listening, but not replying.

This time, however, is another story. Zelda is very suitably...concerned (she does not get 'freaked out', no no) about her ensuing survival on the ship. She has no wish to go through that again.

Instead of replying, she simply tightens her hold on her comm and attempts to ignore it. For now.]

[Several minutes later, after Ridley has returned to his quarters where he left the corpse, he finds it missing. He tosses his comm aside and the video activates. The image is jerky and inconsistent, but Ridley can be seen tearing through a Victorian-looking room. He's throwing over piles of junk as he looks for the corpse he left there not so long ago. Among the things he tosses around is a set of golden shoulder armor, the only remaining relic from his kill. He can be heard growling in frustration before the video cuts out.]

[...Ah, so that's where they are.

She swallows hard, eyes narrowing at the feed before it cuts out.

With a vicious snarl, she hurls her comm at the wall. It's likely one of the displays of temper she'll ever display.]
