I ought to say no, no, no, sir...
Who: One Hylian princess and you! [OPEN]
Where: Scorpio District
Summary: Zelda does her new arrival exploring and finds a little more than she was bargaining for. What the hell is a mall elf and why should she be one?
Warnings: TL;DR oh my god I'm so sorry
[There's lots of new things here, so maybe if you try some things you'll find something you like. I mean, it'd be better to get a job doing something you like, right? Link had said. And while the thought is a nice one to entertain, the fact of the matter is that the Princess of Hyrule has spent far too many years in a survivalist mindset to really focus on finding something she "likes." No, what she needs is information, on both the city itself and the situation within it, and freak weather patterns are not going to stop her.
Her exploration begins in her own residential district, Pisces, which seems unassuming enough, though she has a feeling there's something more to the detective agency than meets the eye. Aquarius is interesting, appearing to be an intellectual hub, though admittedly she is more intrigued by the libraries than the schools. She passes by flyers advertising "Persona Duels" as she walks through Aries, and she makes a mental note to ask Link about them later. Taurus...
Well, in this one case, she figures the less she knows about Taurus, the better.
Leo appears to be the seat of the government in the city - a fact she files away for a time when she knows more about what's going on. As outwardly kind as it is for the government to give housing to their otherworldly visitors, she can't help but feel somewhat suspicious about it all. Chalk it up to the years of constantly seeing enemies in shadows. Doing her exploring during the day, she doesn't yet see anything odd about the mountain in Gemini, and she moves on. Having oh so conveniently arrived in Cancer and finding it just as boggling now as she did then, she passes though the technological district quickly. Virgo and Libra employ and house quite a few Guests, it seems, which she supposes might be useful if she does get a job.
This brings her to Scorpio. The artistic district is odd, but in a way that's interesting to her, unlike Cancer. She's particularly drawn in by the musicians, and it's as she's watching a few near the mall that a native calls out to her...]
Hey, hey, lady! Those pointy ears natural?
[Looking more than just a little bewildered, she turns to the man and nods.] They are, yes--
Perfect! Do you think you could help me out? I need helpers for this Santa thing we're doing this year and the last guy I hired keeps falling asleep on the job but I can tell you're a responsible young lady - you'd be perfect for it!
... My apologies, but I doubt that, given that I have not a semblance of an idea as to what you're talking about.
Right, right, "extraterrestrial guest," don't know anything about Earth holidays. Don't worry, it's easy!
I do not know... I really can't stay ♪
[--Goddesses above, not this again.]
And that thing! The singing! The kids'll love it!
Let me be on my way ♫
C'mon, it's only for a few days!
This evening I need... to be back home ♪
Give it a chance, will you?

Cause he had to remember who this Hero of Time was, see.
And then he remembers that she's a princess, and that that Means Things, and thus he must make a very awkward bow.
"Nice to meet you."
no subject
"And you as well," she says, bowing her head in response to his own bow. "But I will say that such formalities are not strictly necessary."
Especially if she is to be living under the same roof as him at some point.
no subject
Even if he totally wouldn't bow to his goddess BFF if she showed up, but that's because he'd be too busy squeezing the air out of her.
no subject
Though her words are stilted and awkward, as though unsure. She hasn't been treated in such a way for a very long time...
"But, ah... you are a friend of Link's, are you not? And any friend of his is a friend of mine."
Nice... recovery?
no subject
Beat.
"S-so, how are you liking it here?"
no subject
"It is... strange. And so very different from Hyrule." Definitely noisier, for one. "To be honest, I have a hard time envisioning myself attempting to make a life here."
Which getting a puppy will not fix btw.
