Characters: Zelda and you!
Setting: Floor 3 or 19, Floor 25, Floor 14, and Floor 32
Format: Starting with action - I'll follow you!
Summary: The Princess of Hyrule going about her days while trying not to freeze to death.
Warning:Sexual confusion? None yet.
Floor 3 or 19
[The libraries might as well have become a second home for Zelda with all the time she has spent there recently. Ever since Ruana (and to a lesser extent, Dax) took to the network, she has been pouring over book after book, network post after network post, trying to make sense of the things she said. Of course, any success is limited at best, and for the most part, the only fruit of her labor thus far has been a stack of notes with more questions than answers contained within.
Still, the search gives her focus and drive - things she had been terribly lacking in since... the end of June, really. And perhaps that's the most valuable thing Ruana gave her that day - not information, but a will to do more than merely endure.
In any case, if you're looking for one long-eared princess, you are most likely to find her here, surrounded by her books and notes.]
Floor 25 (Forbow_of_the_galadhrim and maybe friends?)
[Of course, that is not to say she does nothing else with her time. Sometime before the chaos of October and everything else, Legolas said the elven swords he was having crafted for her were ready, and they could begin training. Sure, it's cold now and getting colder, but it's peaceful for the moment (well, for some definition of peaceful), and she needs to learn eventually.
So, looking more like a pirate than a princess in Tetra's mother's (her descendant's?) long coat and her hair tied up in a ribbon, she waits on the meadow floor for the Prince of Mirkwood. At least there's no snow on this floor.]
Floor 14
[And sometimes even she needs a break, though loathe she is to admit it. She doesn't frequent the media floor often - even after nearly a year's time in the Tower, most of the technology there is beyond her. But she does know how one piece of electronic machinery works (though don't ask her what it's called), thanks to a girl who's long since vanished from the tower walls. And it's that piece of machinery that's currently serenading her with the sounds of a certain British classic rock band as she curls up on a couch nearby, wrapped in the fluffy comforter she got as a "prize" for participating in Halloween's "game".
Pass by at just the right moment, and she might even appear to be asleep. Even back in Hyrule, music was always there to provide a temporary escape from life's hardships, and it's so easy to get lost in it...]
Floor 32
[And sometimes, given the high levels of stress inherent to the situation, it is necessary to take "taking a break" a little further.
Look up into the trees on the forest floor, and you might see a blur of blue and grey hopping from branch to branch, disturbing and sprinkling the snow that's accumulated there in its wake.

absolutely
For now, she disregards the praise, focusing on her next task. Taking a deep breath, she readies her stance once again, this time trying to steady herself as much as possible before making her move. Precision and accuracy...
Drawing her right arm across her body, she lets it swing before her in a wide arc, keeping her arm as straight and level as she is able.]
/shakes head at the both of you
Watching with interest as Zelda steeled herself for her next try, Haldir made certain to study the girl's form. Earlier, Zelda seemed to be slightly off center when she struck the first arrow. This time, however, the princess seemed to gained some more confidence in herself and cleanly cut this arrow in two near perfect halves. ]
Well done, I see you've managed to keep your balance better.
[ A thoughtful hum escaped him as he quietly asset the girl. ]
You're right-handed, yes? Then I suppose we will focus on that for now before training you to be just as balanced with your left.
[ He smiled somewhat as he playfully tossed the feathered end of the arrow at Legolas. ]
If I may ask, friend, what were you showing her earlier?
ya know ya love it
I was observing her skills and noting that speed and accuracy would be a better technique for these weapons than strength. I did not intend to work too much today with how cold it is getting.
[He gestured towards the kindling he had gathered in case Zelda grew too cold.]
can't stop won't stop
Even so, she nods, both at Haldir's assessment and Legolas' report.]
Perhaps it is a bit reckless to begin training under such conditions, but it is the closest thing we have had to a peaceful moment since the blades were finished.
