Oh, there you... are...

[ She started off so happily and trailed off so uncertainly, peering at Zelda with a hint of concern creasing her brow. What the-- ]

Are you okay? Did I wake you up?

[withwisdom]

Mhm, don't worry about it. Just tired. [ she shouldn't be sleeping on a pew anyway, even if sleeping right feels like the best option in general. ] Were you looking for me?

[scooptimistic]

Yep! I had something to give to you.

... Aaaand then you can go back to sleep if you need to.

[ Poor Zelda. ]

[withwisdom]

Aha. [ she smiles and it's weak. slowly she moves again to sit-up straight and proper, leaning into the pew and closing her eyes. ] Bring it over here if you would? I'm worried I might not be able to walk over to you.

[scooptimistic]

That bad??

Okay, hold on!

[ And over she jogs, and before Zelda can properly open her eyes, she'll settle something down on her lap.

It's a bird! A little plush bird, a soft blue from a sweater she'd made use of, with round button eyes. ]

[withwisdom]

[ she feels something touch her lap and it gets her eyes to open up in attention again, head tilting down to peer at it. ]

Oh. [ she slowly picks up the plush and cradles it in her palms, smiling in adoration. ] It's a bird. Oh, it's adorable - where did you find it?

[scooptimistic]

I made it!

[ Maya says so proudly as though she did not jab herself in the thumb like thirty times in the process. ]

[withwisdom]

Goodness, what great work. [ she turns the bird in between her hands, making sure to see all angles of maya's work, and turns her beaming smile to her. ] It's so lovely Maya. I love it. Thank you so much. What's the occasion though?

[scooptimistic]

Oh, well-- I was already thinking about making some of these little guys, but then those quests came out and I thought you'd fit the gratitude one pretty perfectly!

[ sorry for killing you in the process, Zelda. ]

[withwisdom]

[ she chuckles warmly, faint red tinting her cheeks. ]

The quest suits you well too. I should think of something to give you back.

[ not at the moment though, which unknowingly spares maya in the moment. zelda looks down at the bird again and, as if magic, her body slowly begins feeling brand new again. ]

You know, I think I feel better already just with this. How strange.

[scooptimistic]

Oh, really? That's great!

[ Who knew, gifts could cure diseases? ]

Still, don't push yourself. I don't think pews are all that comfy for napping.

[withwisdom]

Certainly not. I think I was just pushing myself to come out. [ silly, yes, but she's not the sort who can stay in bed all day. ] I don't... well, the last time I got sick was a long while ago. I guess I just forgot it could happen.

[scooptimistic]

You don't think it's the weather, do you? I know it's the coldest it's been since I got here.

[withwisdom]

I'm sure it's a factor. I don't go into colder areas of Hyrule unless for diplomatic purposes.

[ the rito mainly, as they live all the way up in the mountains where it snows more often than not. she presses a hand against the seat and uses it to push herself up, able to stand and walk without her legs feeling like molasses now. ]

I really do feel so much better. I don't feel like it's coincidence, but I don't know how to explain it. Your little bird is like magic.

[scooptimistic]

Positivity and good feelings towards someone can go a long way. You know what they say, good company is the best medicine!

[ that's not what they say, Maya. ]

[withwisdom]

The people of your realm are wise.

[ as if zelda would know any better. ]

[scooptimistic]

... Well. They try. A lot of the time, though, they tend to doom themselves.

[withwisdom]

Doesn't sound so different from most people. Still, we all try our best.

[ themselves included, as well as everyone else. ]

[scooptimistic]

Mm, we do. That's why... I really love people. They've got so much potential, even when they falter.

[withwisdom]

Without a doubt.

[ she breathes in and out, maya's presence always so calm and soothing. her fingers squish the bird lightly as she smiles, still so taken with it. ]

Once I figure out how to repay you, I'll be sure to come to you with something.

[scooptimistic]

You don't have to repay me at all!

[ please don't kill her, Zelda... ]

This was honestly just something I wanted to do.
