[There is a clunk, and by the way the person is talking, it sounds rather like someone has accidentally pressed a button on the communicator.]

What...is this magic? [The decidedly feminine voice is composed but strained, and there is evident confusion interlaced with a bit of suspicion. The speaker is examining the device, and as she begins to figure out how to use it, her voice strengthens, though her next words sound...tired.]

Where am I...? [She seems to be talking to herself, and her voice is faint; she isn't speaking directly into the device anymore.] How...odd.

[She clears her throat, then directs her voice into the communicator, fully intending on finding out just what is going on.]

Being as I am quite obviously not in Hyrule Castle, nor even Hyrule itself; I must ask for some sort of explanation. If there is someone out there that can offer that, I would be deeply indebted to you.

The honor is mine, then.

[The Twili bends at the waist into a simple bow, then straightens.]

I apologize for being so...rude over the shipNET. Just one of my moods.

[As she looks the other woman over, her breath catches in her long throat.

Three years, and, of course, she hasn't changed a day. Technically, she's younger than when she last saw her. Certainly plays tricks on the heart.

Er.

Mind.]

please forgive me.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

It is...understandable. This place...[She gestures to the boat.] Is unsettling. I do not feel myself, to be honest.

[Midna like this is certainly a sight to behold. She's tall -- taller than Zelda, even, and stunningly beautiful. Zelda suddenly feels rather...undistinguished standing here with her.]

Certainly. [She glances to the water, her eyes widening only a fraction at the sight of it. Perhaps a subject change is in order.]

I have never seen anything such as this.

[wheres-my-puppy.livejournal.com]

[The taller woman chuckles, then starts for the railing.]

The ocean is beautiful, especially at this time of day.

It reminds me of home.

[She glances over at the other princess, painted eyebrows raised high, silently asking 'and you?']

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

It is beautiful. [She can easily admit this. She has never seen its equal. She follows Midna, her boots tapping softly against the floor.]

I admit that...my memories of home are not the fondest at the moment. [She hesitates.] Things are...not well, there. [But Midna already knows this, doesn't she?]

[wheres-my-puppy.livejournal.com]

No, I guess they wouldn't be.

[She smiles.]

But don't worry yourself.

[Long fingers reach out and just brush the princess' arm.]

It turns out alright in the end. That Ganondorf creep gets what's coming to him. Zant too.

[She rolls her eyes. Zant. What a joke.]

Hyrule won't be infected by my Realm for much longer.

And will never again. I saw to that.

[Will you catch the hint or will she have to explain this new body to you?]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She glances askance to Midna at her touch, her dark eyes reflecting the words she has just heard.]

That...that is good news. [She exhales slowly, letting her eyes momentarily drift closed. The Twilight would no longer burden her world, Ganondorf and Zant would both be gone, and--

Wait. Midna's realm? Then that meant...]

I see. [So she was the true ruler. Of course.]

[wheres-my-puppy.livejournal.com]

I destroyed the mirror.

I...thought I'd never see you again.

[Giggle.]

This little vacation is good for something.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

I was...uncertain if I would see you again after our last meeting. Regrettably, I never knew you as you are now. [She nodded once, then let her eyes drift to the waters.]

I...suppose you are right, yes.

[wheres-my-puppy.livejournal.com]

We only really had one other meeting after that, anyway.

Only my outward appearance has changed, Zelda. I'm still a nasty little imp on the outside.

[She shrugs.]

It's flattering you find me pretty, though. Thank you for that.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[There's another hint of a smile, but it is gone in an instant.]

Midna, you are not simply 'pretty'. You are absolutely stunning. [Someone I could never compare to.]

orz, I just noticed that typo in my last tag D8

[wheres-my-puppy.livejournal.com]

[Ohoho. That's what she likes to hear. Had she been fishing for it?

Maaaaaaaybe.]

You're not too bad yourself, Zelda.

Though I believe you'd be prettier if you let yourself smile.

/did not notice 8o

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

I will smile when I have reason to. [As of late, she had little reason to smile, to be honest. With her situation and the things that had happened in Hyrule, then her sudden appearance on a boat...she saw no reason to be pleased about this.]
