...that doesn't really suit you at all, no.

notifs.

[schollared]

[ she continues picking through the other clothes on the rack in what is clearly a futile effort... but as she places the skull shawl back on its hanger, the skin of her bare arm catches the light in a way that accentuates the pale, bone white marks etched upon her limb. ]

...

You asked about my scars yesterday, didn't you? While you were checking me.

[dendroculi]

[her ears droop a little]

...yes, but... [it's still insecurity week so she's worried zelda won't like her anymore if she makes her talk about them] ...you don't have to explain if you would prefer not to...

[schollared]

[ she shakes her head. ]

I'm comfortable with you, Nahida. [ smiles ] ...Perhaps it may not come as a surprise to you, but I am not truly 19 years old.

[dendroculi]

It's... not really a surprise, no.

[the glitchy text on her profile had seemed significant in some way, and well - nahida is used to people who are older than they look.]

[schollared]

I felt you of all people might understand without much explanation. [ lol ] ...Women of the royal Hyrulean familly are gifted with a sacred power to seal away evil. I spent a hundred years keeping a beast of pure calamity at bay. The toll it took on me was... not insignificant, to say the least.

[dendroculi]

[oh... yikes.]

Zelda... I'm sorry. That must have been horrible.

[schollared]

[ another shake of her head, another soft smile. ]

No. What would have been horrible would have been losing my kingdom and everything I loved to the blight. A hundred years was a small price to pay to see my people stay alive.

[dendroculi]

A small price to pay...

[nahida's voice trails off, and then she nods.]

...yes. I can understand that.
