⚔ // once upon a dream

[You all know the drill by now. Ignis and Camilla have taken over the nearest kitchen, and there's going to be food in the Pokemon Center soon enough; a warm and comforting vegetable curry. Highwind's even out now, welcoming any and all who might need a large cloud bird to hug after everything that was.]

[It's been a long night. Everyone needs a good meal and a long rest, and luckily one of those things is being seen to immediately.]

Oh - well, sure. It's because you're all so used to that kind of thing. I don't have to think about how I could hurt any given person, it just sort of comes natural. We've got very different basic understandings.

[ She can't help but make a face at that, but Zelda nods all the same. It does meet to her point. ]

People can't help but want to be connected, or at least I believe.

I'm not going to do it. Just the sort of thing you notice, after a while...

[mmmmm, let's not get defensive]

Maybe that's true. I don't know.

I believe it is. [ Mmm. ] Regardless, I do not doubt you. Rather, I just mean that because that is something that most of us want, to be open is... well, there are things locked away, but there are things which we don't mind sharing to make that connection.

I think that's why it took me so long to appreciate the humans. I pretended to be their friend a whole lot of times, so when I started hanging out with them as myself, I thought it'd be the same thing. You know - completely meaningless. If anything, I figured being myself around them would just make us all kinda hate each other.

To be fair, you can be a trying person, Michael.

[ A beat and a small smile, patting Bosphoramus beneath them ]

But to be true, that stands to reason.

[He lets out a surprised sort of laugh.]

Holy shit, Zelda. I didn't think you'd come for my life like that!

[Okay it was hardly the meanest thing she could have said. He just wasn't expecting it, and seems...kinda pleased and encouraging tbh]
