with knowledge comes great responsibility
[What an absolute ordeal all of that was.
Today was certainly one hell of a day, that's for sure; they've managed to take care of another Guardian and gain it's trust (or at the very least, something resembling it), they managed to find Candice and manage to...well, maybe not get her back in a state that's altogether wanted, but ensure they managed to get her at least into a place where she could possibly regain herself. It will likely be a process, as such things are, but they've done their best, and they should have no regrets.
The center is definitely going to be a welcome reprieve for all of their suffering, at the very least. The Kompot is certainly more than enough to likely get everyone warmed back up and in a stable condition, along with the copious amount of blankets the locals have provided. They've got the time to rest and get ready for their next adventure.
Rest well, ye merry band of travelers. You've earned it.]

I would like to apologize to you all. … I am sorry. I lost my temper, what I was not helpful to our cause today. It would not be right of me to allow that to linger.
[ It's possible that pressing the point helped but... honestly, it's hard for her to declare that one way or another. It’s said with the same of dignity and poise Zelda does try to present for herself, but it is betrayed somewhat by how dry her mouth and eyes feel. Her eyes are distinctly bloodshot. She’s just… tired. She doesn’t refuse responses directly to that, but she also doesn’t linger for them either.
How she handled things wasn’t becoming of a princess or of a scholar. To have Kayneth praised for rationality while she handled things the worst really cemented that home for her. As such when she finishes the apology, she doesn’t quite distance herself from the group, but she does sort of settle into a position huddled up with Saber a ways off from everything. Miphanus is beeping near them, but she just wants to be with the one of the four who actually has body warmth.
That's her evening. ]

How are you holding up? I made tea, if you'd like some.

Oh... yes, that is nice of you, thank you.

He's not sure if he can make anyone feel better after that, but maybe he can try to make it clear they're not alone in this, and that might help. ]
I'm not going to really blame you for any of that...that wouldn't really be fair.
[ ... ]
Do you want to kind of talk about it a little more? Or something else?

How're you feeling after all that?
[It's quiet, but it's a question that's being put out there anyway.]
And I'm not asking if you'll manage, or if you're okay, because I'm sure you will and exactly none of that is feelings.

Embarrassed, frustrated... homesick, as well, I suppose?

when she's off away from everything, keith finds her, holding her book in his hand. ]
Hey, Zelda. Do you...mind if I sit here?

[ . . . She's already reaching out to do that. She likes to lick people in order to get a taste for who it is. ... This is Zelda's attempt at humor even though she feels awful. ]

Away from Everything
[Hey, Zelda. So you're away from everyone...you may want privacy, he supposes. Kiryu decides to say his part and not force his presence on her further than necessary]
What you said was the truth. Even though it may have been reckless to say it, and Uxie wouldn't like to hear it, truths aren't meant to be softened. It may not end well sometimes, but saying what's right and what isn't is important.
You had the guts to speak your mind. I believe you showed once again why everyone here should have a high opinion of you.
[Congrats, Kiryu approves. Then again, he's the guy who isn't deterred by an opponent's power and goes into situations where anyone else would die, usually involving saying what's what even if it makes someone angry. He's pretty much approving how he'd have behaved too if he had the chance]

... Perhaps so. But I did still endanger all of us needlessly.

ways off
So, well, he's pretty much indisposed on the bench and isn't up for moving much, but Monta sure is being restless and irritable, and he needs to do something lest he get into trouble again. And, well, maybe he's not supposed to be doing something that requires mental focus like this, but he writes off a quick note on a napkin anyway and has Monta take it to her.
It reads as follows:]
i know me saying this is not gonna stop you from feeling bad or anything but i think it was really brave of you to stand up to uxie like that. like i don't think either of you were wrong or anything but what we all saw uxie do was really terrible so i don't think it's wrong to react like that to it? and i get that uxie did what it did because it panicked and made a mistake and it felt bad too but it was also kind of insensitive about it kinda the same way michael was which i guess makes sense since he's a demon or something and this uxie is a deity? so they're the same type of being so they think similar i guess and i guess that's why he and uxie kept making fun of me but that's not the point i was trying to make. i forgot. anyways i think that it's okay to feel upset about this but i don't think you should let it hold you back too much either like we all have to get up and keep moving after this right? and its gonna be hard but i think you can do it even if i don't understand it much and maybe i'm being too forward saying this because this kind of thing went over my head and im sorry if this offends you but i dont think it will because youre really nice but im sor

It's endearing. It's endearing, but all the same, it's...
She frowns a little, but after focusing on it a moment, she actually laughs. She laughs and stands, half to find Miphanus (who was poking at the PC in there) and half to get to Sena and actually speak with him. ]

I don't even think what you said was that bad. I mean, tactically, sure, but I've been told that people don't like when you view conversations as things to win.

To try to lick his face.
But for her part... ] ... No, they don't. In a matter of diplomacy, it is, just by definition, but... But no, it was not- I do not believe it was wrong.

She knows she should talk to the girl eventually. And...well, considering that Camilla kind of comes up a bit later on, she can at least finally manage that much.]
Zelda...?
[She just tries to get her attention, first.]
no subject
Or so she believes anyway.
Still, to have the other speak up for her she is curled up with the Lickitung, letting it lick her hand mostly to entertain the thing. She lowers it, covered in some saliva to look up with ... well her eyes are less bloodshot, but they are dry. ]
Yes, I'm awake still.
