[Dorm Room 01-09]

[She hadn't quite expected to wake up in her bed in the tower but she did. It was better than the tireless, hungerless wasteland that as her world though. For awhile she just lays in her bed and, oddly, takes comfort in being here instead of there.

Eventually gets up though, checks her things to make sure no one got nosy while she was gone and then leaves her room.]

[Floor 33]

[Tetra... isn't one for farming. She's still more suited to the sea, to getting food when they stop at different islands or raid other ships, but it's nice to stop once in awhile and see if anyone else is making use of it. Someday, she might try her hand at it. If only to keep herself from getting bored (which didn't frequently happen with the tower and its administrators) while they still had time to live.

And it was pretty neat to see plants and food actually growing, even if it is just glamour.]

[Floor 25 - closed to Zelda]

[Training with Zelda. She's still not used to it, probably never will be, but Zelda was experienced and had a lot she could teach the younger princess. She found her vest, tank top and shorts from among her things. The clothes showed the wear and tear of two years in the tower, several places clearly patched by someone who isn't used to things like sewing.

And then she headed to the meadow floor. There was plenty of space there for them both, somewhere that Tetra wouldn't have to worry about hurting anyone accidentally.]

[Floor 14]

[Sometimes you just need a little bit of fun. That's what brought Tetra to the fourteenth floor where she starts poking through the collection of movies and games for something to watch or play. Maybe Link or someone will come by and play a game with her.]

floor 33

[puppy_lancer]

[Open fields are good for crops to grow in...and they're also good for horses to run in. So now Lancer is riding Liath Macha in a circle around the growing greens, stopping once in a while to graze at the few weeds.]

[He waves at Tetra as he sees her.]

Hey, Tetra! How've you been?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Grinning at the sight of of Lancer, she waves back and jogs over. Tetra knows what a horse looks like but she's never actually seen one.]

Been better.

[Or has she? ~Animus~]

Is that a horse?

[puppy_lancer]

[He nods and decides not to ask more. After all, she doesn't seem particularly unhappy.]

Yeah, it is!

[He pats Liath Macha on the head as the horse flares her nostrils at Tetra.]

Isn't she awesome?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[She reaches almost hesitantly to try petting her nose.]

Yeah, she is. I've never seen a real horse before. She's pretty.

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer place a hand on Liath Macha's jaw so she won't bite Tetra.]

She is. The only horse that can match her for the most beautiful and strongest horse is Dubh Saiglend.

[And that's his other horse.]

She's fast too! Wanna take a ride and see how fast she can go?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Her eyes light up, one of the few times that she properly looks like a kid. Especially after being in the tower awhile.]

Can I?

[puppy_lancer]

Come on!

[He jumps off of the horse and bends down so he can help Tetra climb on the horse.]

[Lancer himself is like a kid who just wants to show off his shiny new toy.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[It's nice when she can just be an excitable kid rather than a pirate captain or heir to an entire kingdom. With his help, she's quickly on the horses back and holding on carefully.]

This is great!

[puppy_lancer]

[He walks alongside Liath Macha, keeping a hand on her head to keep her calm.]

Tell me whenever you wanna go faster.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Her grin is wide and there's a glint her in eyes, a familiar deviousness.]

Well climb up, let's see what she can do~

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer nods and places his hands on Liath Macha's back, jumping on behind Tetra. He slaps the horse's rear, signaling it to run. And of course, it's fast. Fast enough to send wind whipping into its riders' races.]

How's this?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[And enough that Tetra is pushed back against him at first. She didn't know horses could be THIS fast. Or maybe it's just his horse. But wow!]

It's great!

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer laughs as he hears Tetra say that. Indeed, it's because it's Lancer's horse that it can go faster for longer.]

I'm glad you like it!

[He steers Liath Macha around the floating island, near the outer ranges of the field, where there's less of a chance of stepping on crops. Of course, she still sends up clouds of dust.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

When did you get her?

[Because she's sure she'd have noticed a horse wandering around before her impromptu trip home and back.]

[puppy_lancer]

Back around Christmas. Aria brought her over for me.

[He usually doesn't keep her in the dorms in the mornings. Instead, he makes her graze on various floors.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Huh. Can't believe I haven't seen her yet then. 'Course, a lot has been happening the past few months too.

[puppy_lancer]

[He nods.]

And...even more's probably gonna happen in the coming months.

[For a second, he looks serious as he contemplates the future. However, he quickly pushes that aside in favor of enjoying the horseback ride.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Probably, yeah. Runnin' out of time on the countdown. And with Jason being dead now... Well, there's a lot changing.

[She grins with him and nudges him. Enjoying the ride is the best idea.]

[puppy_lancer]

[He makes Liath Macha turn around and gallop back the other way.]

We'll just have to be a little more careful. At least there's not gonna be anymore explosions.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Hopefully not anyway. What if Ruana got the Jason's fascination with bombs down in the labyrinth?

[That... would not be fun.]

[puppy_lancer]

[He makes a face.]

That would be nasty. But I don't think she'd set stuff off in Zo's months.

[From what he had seen and heard, she liked Zo.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

She probably won't. Zo would get really upset and I don't think even she could stand to see that. He's a sweet kid.

[puppy_lancer]

We should get him something. He's...he's seen quite enough the last couple of months.

[He wonders where Tetra had been during everyone's attempt to help Zo.]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Oh, yeah! We should! What would he like though?

[Home, wandering her dead world.]

[puppy_lancer]

Hm...he's liked all the little things I've made for him so far. Stuff like charms and such. Maybe you can make him an instrument from your world or something?
