hey! fairy! your cubes are dirty! Get to bathing!

"You're not the boss of me!" The fairy says, bristling a little at the notion of being ordered around.

Still, she would go find a bar of soap to drop in a tub for the poros to splash about in.

[songofsilentechoes]

"Of course." Noelle replied, bowing to the shrine maiden. She would go to disrobe and begin to shower off.

The fairy seems placated by the acknowledgement and bows to the shrine maiden as well. She doesn't appear to be on guard anymore, content with the other's presence.

Noelle sighs and stands up to stretch.

"That sounds lovely, Himiko-san." She replies, looking like she cracks her back, although the act is silent. "And thank you for checking in on us."

The fairy watches Himiko with a similar sort of cautious curiosity.

internet friends are kinda like illegally downloaded friends. you don’t get the physical copy but you still get all the great content

"O-oh y-yes, of course." Noelle ushered the taller woman inside.

Her place in Hyrule was little more than a shack she's squatting in outside of town. The larger gaps have been patched with some wood from the fence. A small fire is lit in the firepit, with a simple kettle, with which she prepares tea...far nicer tea than her current residence would suggest she could afford.

"Y-you would be correct. I'm not a Hylian nor am I from Hyrule. I come from..." would it seem weird to say the truth? Linkle didn't seem to pay it much mind. "From another world entirely. In my home realm, magic is very common, so studying it isn't unusual."

"Hyrule is steeped in magic, too." She says, offering her the tea. "But it's in a very different way than I'm used to. I've been visiting hyrule more and more, visiting friends, studying artifacts and ambient magic..." She gestures towards the time-shift stone. "...so it only made sense to set up a place to regularly sleep." She gestures towards her bedroll.

Wicht is soaking in her own cup of tea, enjoying the hot herbal bath.

Elmyra has come with a couple bottles of hot pumpkin soup. "This is thanks for the meats and cheeses. I was told one of the bottles has more finely cut fill ins for Wicht. Linkle worked hard so she could get the full taste."

Damn Elmyra is so tan, tall, and strong looking. She looks too young to be a grandmother to Linkle. Though Wicht might feel a blessing from a Great Fairy on her.

"O-Oh, y-yes of course." Who was this woman? A friend? Relative of Linkle? Noelle would probably remember her if she had met her. "Thank you for the soup."

The fairy flitted over, hearing talk of pumpkin soul, and one being made specially for her. It was a pleasant taste of home.

The woman gave her some pause, though. She was towering and tanned...a gerudo? No, she seemed a little different. Well, it didn't matter, she could feel the great fairy's blessing on her. While she might normally be a little guarded, the blessing made her pretty favorably-disposed towards this other person, to whom she curtsies politely.

"I suppose it's my turn, yeah?" Trinity said twirling a pair of scissors.

With a little snip, she undoes the wrappings and her eyes widen in surprise. "I see you were looking through my collection, but shit, how'd you get your hands on this? This was from a limited run a few years back. I was sick when they were in town and couldn't get my hands on it."

She laughs and wraps an arm around her. "Thanks, firestarter. Really making my day."

Trinity gestures to a festively-wrapped box. Inside is some merch that Nalina was eyeing. Taped to it was an envelope with some tickets to a show. "Happy holidays, firestarter." From Trinity

“Ah thanks” she laughed, rubbing the back of her neck. She quietly hoped her gift of vinyls, a limited edition band shirt and a new cap would be appreciated in some way, but she dared not push the presents too hard. “Looks like you got a few under that tree…”

[songofsilentechoes]

Her grandmother? This woman didn't look nearly that old. Likewise she was unaware of the woman's passing.

"Umm...congratulations on your resurrection, then? I know it's customary to have a cake ready for when that happens, but I only have a little travel cake with me. It's yours if you want it." She was clearly very off-balance by all these revelations all at once.

Wicht seems to ignore most of that. "Yes. I have been tasked by the Goddess' Sacred Sword to watch over her and ensure no harm comes to her." It was a task she took relatively seriously. Her tone in referring to Fi was rather formal.

Elmyra has come with a couple bottles of hot pumpkin soup. "This is thanks for the meats and cheeses. I was told one of the bottles has more finely cut fill ins for Wicht. Linkle worked hard so she could get the full taste."

Noelle picked up the discomfort and decided to keep the topic on the cats.

"I'm so glad they get along. Do you treat them over the holidays?" Maybe she had pictures. Would it be weird to ask? It would probably be weird to ask.

A short woman enters the bar. Her cloak looks out of place, but she silently approaches the bar and takes a seat.

// Hope this is okay

As it happened, the whole dive bar was relatively quiet. The music coming from the wall mounted jukebox poured through and yet it still felt homely to some.

On hearing the sound of someone taking a seat, a blue haired lady stepped out from the trapdoor to the cellar and pulled herself up before closing the door.

"Sorry! Was putting shit away. What'll it be, miss?"

Noelle nods. "Thank you, Rain." She looks about the home and seems at ease. Perhaps she was thankful he lived in surroundings such as this. Noelle didn't seem like the sort to value fancy displays of wealth.

Wicht follows him for a bit until he leaves the room, after which, she flits back over to Noelle. The mage has taken off her cloak, something she rarely does, and folds it neatly. Setting it down on the couch, she sets her satchel down on top of it, with the overnight bag on top of that, ensuring that her things were neat and compact, so she wasn't taking up much space.

She glanced around to see if she was meant to remove her boots or not before she begins to look over the spines of the various books, gently running her fingers along them and sounding out some of them quietly to herself as best as she could. Likewise, the fairy flits about the room, exploring the space.

"Rain? I caught some fish and wanted to know if you wanted to cook with me. I know our last little bout was fun, but I think I can best you this time."

"Oooooh fish? Is it native from here or is it from another world? It's fine either way, but I would like to know if this is something you have a little more... familiarity with. After all, I encourage you trying to get an edge up on out-cooking me if you think it'll help," He'd smirk while he'd pull out his hairband to help push his hair back.

[songofsilentechoes]

Noelle nodded and gripped the left handle tightly before twisting it backwards to get a feel for how it stops before easing off of it.

When she's satisfied, she swallows the lump in her throat, takes a deep breath, and twists the right handle back to accelerate the cycle forward.

Noelle is relatively unaccustomed to motor vehicles, and when she is in them, usually someone else is driving, so this sudden spike of adrenaline, speed and concern is all very very sudden for the little mage as the cycle rockets forward with her clinging tightly to the handles.

"Look, I may have personal power suits but my specialty is bio-tech, so please get on about what it is you want. I am a very busy man." Snively is a prick. He still isn't sure why he accepted to be part of The House again.

[songofsilentechoes]

The fairy flits over to him, perhaps enticed by the offer. "What can you provide? I like sweets, fruits and cheeses." Of course, she wasn't super accustomed to human food, so she was generally down to try anything. Especially if it was 'for her'.

Noelle smiles, happy to see Wicht not giving Rain a hard time. From the card, she pulls a small leather bag, which she carries as she follows the knight. She steps inside the home as the fairy flits after her, still watching and appraising their host.

"Rain? I caught some fish and wanted to know if you wanted to cook with me. I know our last little bout was fun, but I think I can best you this time."

[songofsilentechoes]

Noelle adjusted her cloak, by tucking it into the back of her shirt, so it wouldn't flap about. She then, with some uncertainty, mounted the vehicle.

Leaning forward, she grasped the handles. "I should probably ask before I can't....how do I stop it once I go?"

Noelle just casually looking at Fi's baby pictures.

This is Fi if her spirit form updated with the Goddess Sword as it is transformed into the Master Sword

A Small Gift

There was a lot to love about the seasons, from the holidays to the colder weather, right down to the sense of joy and cheer in the air. What the child loved most, was the ability to be with and near the ones he loves. It took many, many hours, but after spending time with his siblings, he was able to make it. A small gift for his auntie, and something he made from the heart. It took even longer to wrap, mostly due to the child getting distracted and playing with the wrapping paper. After clean-up, and help from moms, the child was ready to deliver his very own gift!

The child spotted his auntie outside and with a wide smile, ran towards her with gift in hand. He would present the present to Noelle while maintaining his expression. Then... his inability to wait grabbed hold. “Open it, open it!” He’d request so he could see his auntie’s expression. Upon opening the gift, she would see that the child had made a small trinket in the shape of a bunny. “It-It a little Mr Hops that-that you can carry around!” He’d chirp with a big smile as he hugs her legs. It was clear the boy spent a long time on it, and it was quite a trail and error process as if she peeked at his hands, there were a number of band-aids.

Still the child didn’t care, he was happy he could repay his aunt for all the kindness she’d showed him throughout his life. While hugging her, he’d nuzzle her as well. “I love you lots auntie Nono!”

Noelle perked up when she heard the familiar pitter-patter of his approach, and she smiled warmly when she was presented the gift.

This was among her favorite seasons for many reasons, but she was still getting used to being the 'aunt' in his life. Still, his enthusiasm and sincerity was impossible to dismiss as anything but wholesome and wonderful.

Taking the gift in hand, she carefully opens the paper. Her peculiar curse prevented the sound of the paper crinkling. Still, her eyes opened in surprise when she recognized the little bunny trinket. Something small and easy-to-carry to remind her of him, even when traveling.

She noted the bandaged hands. She would need to restock the healing salve at Gisha and Kolkai's homes later. Her eyes moistened with feelings, all which bubbled to the surface when he hugged her.

Smiling warmly, she hugged him back, tighter than usual. "Thank you, Lief...and happy snowdown."
