@obraveyouth asked:

does honey mind if the hero keeps fairies in bottles? and/or do the fairies under her care ever seem to mind or does it depend on which great fairy they serve ( such as the fairies in ww looking sad to be kept in such a way )

Heh... well, as we've glimpsed (in a botw/totk setting at the very least), Honey certainly does feel strongly about the practice, which aligns with much of her core character sentiments—freedom, in both the physical and metaphorical senses, being a concept she values above all else. being somewhat bound to her fountain/shrine in any given LoZ iteration is already more of a tether than she prefers, goddesses forbid the idea of being sealed inside a pocketable prison only just big enough to hold oneself in the first place.

Rest assured, if she witnessed a fairy being snatched up, she'd certainly have something to say about it... or most likely she would, anyway.

I think there's room for variance in the fact that not all of the sprightly, little fairies which occupy the realm appear to have the same level of... sentience? agency?

We see fairies which speak and move freely, who have clearly established personalities—like Navi, Tatl, and the Kokiri companions in general—and obviously, as you highlight (and as I often think about): the WW fairies are visibly emotive/expressive, and they do not seem to appreciate being bottled... but then, on the other side of the coin, there are the fountain fairies. Moving in idle patterns but never leaving, seemingly only fulfilling their purpose or any meaningful role when someone appears in need of healing.

This, I think, is where the main differentiation occurs, and where her opinion flexes. As I see it, fairies can either be born directly from natural forces, possessed of a will and mind of their own, or they can be a physical manifestation or extension of a great fairy's power and spirit—think, perhaps, of the stray fairies in MM, which were literal portions of a "shattered" great fairy. In the case of the earlier, Honey would, indeed, mind; but the latter? situationally.

She doesn't take kindly to the hero just snatching the poor things clear out of the air without warning, but, if the being's sole purpose is to mend a weary warrior's wounds in their time of need, it does seem more prudent to have them on stand-by rather than hoping their broken body magically appears at a fountain in time... so, he might as well take them along.

If it's one of her fairies, she'd maybe make a little fuss at, again, how small the bottle is—"could you at least put a little bit of water from the fountain in there? maybe a shiny shell, something to make them feel at home—and don't keep them in there too long! come switch them out for a different one if you HAVE to,"—but, ultimately, acquiesce with little real resistance.

Her fairies wouldn't mind on their own, lacking the cognisance to do so, but it most likely does vary based on which great fairy they serve, and the nature of their birth.

[TEXT—> Big Bro]: F O U N D ♡ Y O U !!!

Cloud flicks a few stray grains of badlands salt stuck to the weave of his shirt. The sudden buzz in his pocket goes unaddressed for the moment as he looks out over the horizon.

A short pit stop under the cover of an asymmetrical spire of pale stone grants some reprieve from the misty rain that carries the musty scent of petrichor with it as the skies darken and promises more inclement weather than a light shower.

Without looking away from the storm gaining momentum overhead, Cloud slips his hand into his pocket to retrieve his PHS. A brow arches up as he reads the preview message from his notifications.

Yeah. Okay.

A random, creepy text from an unknown number leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Some kid who got their hands on his PHS number from the local yellow pages or from one of the classifieds Tifa helped him post. Someone with too much time on their hands. Must be. Cloud drums his fingers along Fenrir's hood, considers the message displayed on his screen with a squint for a few more seconds, then pockets his phone without responding.

Best get a move on.

#dvalhound #loz.#cloud is just like: :T #how about some mud wrestling tho
