[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.]

Comments

[lorule]

[ That game is stupid. As soon as Tetra mentions the movie, she sets aside the controller. Anything is better than a game mocking her (no matter what that girl says, this game is mocking her as far as she is concerned). ]

What is a movie?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[You're kind of a brat, Hilda. Not that she'll say anything. She's a proper young lady these days. At least until one of the administrators decides to mess around.]

It's like a pictograph but it moves and has sound.

[lorule]

[ If disliking video games makes you a brat, then so be it. This moving pictograph story sounds a lot more interesting at the very least. And it's unlikely to mock her. ]

Could you please show me one?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[No. Disliking video games just makes you boring. Never mind that video games don't exist in Hyrule or Lorule.]

Sure.

[She grabs a pile of movies and looks through them, settling on a comedy eventually and putting it in.]

[lorule]

[ Wow, excuse you little princess. She'll stay here with her dislikes for those silly video game and watch the beginning of the comedy. Given Tetra described this as moving pictograph, Hilda sort of assumed this would be a recording of real events. yet small details and poor SFX caused her to raise her eyebrow. ]

I have no recollection of magic looking this way and these people speak in a most... Unnatural manner. I do believe the people here are acting a scene.

[ It's not captain obvious or anything. But heh, that sort of technology would be confusing to anyone. ]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Oh my goddesses, Hilda.]

That's... exactly what a movie is. People acting for the entertainment of an audience.

[lorule]

[ How could she have known? She says nothing for a while and watch at the movie for a while. Probably to it through the ending, though she seems barely... Amused. ]

It was entertaining. [Her tone may make this hard to believe, though she softens down a bit.] I thank you for your patience in showing me these artifacts, Lady...?

[ They had yet to introduce each other after all.]

(I fail, feel free to drop this if you want)

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Meanwhile, Tetra's enjoying it enough for the both of them. Spoilers, it's Monty Python and the Holy Grail.]

Tetra. Princess Tetra of Hyrule.

[lorule]

[ Hilda paused. Princess Zelda? Again, really? ]

You must be the one he mentioned... [The young Link that is. She didn't look as much like the other Zeldas-- Yet again, this was probably due to her age and clothing style.] My apologies. I am Hilda, Princess and Sovereign of Lorule Kingdom.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[SNEEERRRRRRRK.]

Lorule? Really?

[lorule]

...

[ That erased any doubts that she was indeed the Princess mentioned by the small Link. What a punk. ]

Do you have anything to say about my Kingdom's name?

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[She will never not have that little bit of pirate still in her.]

Haha- it's not-

It's not very original is it? [Giggling.]

Hyrule and Lorule.

[lorule]

[ You're a brat Tetra and for this very brief moment, she genuinely hates you. ]

Lorule is a name given by my noble ancestors to the sacred land the gods entrusted us with. It is a name we bear with pride. [With that said, she turns to the exit.] I expected better from one of Hyrule's princesses.

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Oh come on!]

C-come on, I'm n-not- hahaha- actually insulting it, am I? It's just funny!

[Rude, Hilda. Tetra laughs a little more before taking a deep breath to calm herself. And then stands straight.] Maybe I might behave better if I was raised a princess but I wasn't. I was a pirate first and we know how to have a laugh. Royalty needs to learn how to do that too.

[lorule]

[ Hilda doesn't stop for Tetra's justification. She has neither the desire nor the patience to listen a child justifying her mockery. She only pauses when she reaches the exit. ]

It is not a matter of being a royalty...! Decent people know laughing at the expense of others is neither fun nor acceptable. Maybe you need to learn that first.

[ And with that said, she leaves. And slam the door shut for good effect. ]
