Quito, Ecuador, Saturday, October 19, 2019

The portal leaves at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and while Anakin will be busy over at that office making sure they transfer through cannon-free locations, the rest of you have the morning to do some last minute shopping, exploring, and gym-going.

Room 106

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-10-19 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"You were a good room," Nina told her room earnestly as she packed her things up, with Foomy watching her from the pillow. "I suppose, like, I might miss you, even!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She would not miss her room.

She wanted her room.

But, hey, it had been a good vacation and the room had done a good job and she was in a whimsical sort of mood.

"It was a good room!" Sidon agreed; he didn't have as much stuff to pack, just a few soveineirs and the like, and he came in around the time Nina was finishing her own packing to do just that. "Excellent bathtub, I must say! And a marvelous trip, too! I shall be sad to take my leave of such a beautiful and spectacular place, but I shall always be glad to have at least experienced it for this glorious week! Tell me, Nina, did you have a good time? What was your favorite part of the week? And shall I assist you with any of your packing? As you know, I don't have much myself, and it shall be an excellent last act as your temporary roommate!"

"Sidon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, beaming at him. He'd been a fantastic roommate--mostly by being absent!--but she was always happy to see him. "You may assist me by keeping me company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, like, unless you have your own packing to do??????????????"

In which he could still keep her company so, really...

"I had a lovely time!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she burbled. "What about you?????????????? How was the waters??????????????????"

"I've just a few things to put in my sachel," Sidon said, going to get the simple red sling of a bag from where it was on top of the dresser, "and that is it, so I shall be able to afford you the utmost attention and undivided company! And the waters were phenomenal, Nina, absolutely incredible/i>! So many interesting other creatures, too, and, oh, Nina, the fish, you wouldn't believe! And meeting the local dolphins was a particular treat, they'll always give you the best racing for your rupees on Earth, I am quite sure of it! I shall remember this place fondly when I am shivering my very scales off once winter arrives!"

She laughed.

"If I become an aquatic creature for a few days due to the island's whimsy, I'll remember that dolphins are the best to race against--aside from you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she promised, glad that he'd had so much fun. "Would, like, a jacket of some sort help in the winter??????????????? Or are you more comfortable without it than you would be with it?????????????????"

"Oh, no," Sidon smiled, shaking his head as he held up a hand. "I have one that's managed to get me through the last two winters; I'm sure it shall dutifully help me through another! And I daresay, I find myself being less bothered by the cold now; I might even be growing accustomed to it!" He laughed. "Perhaps I'll be vacationing in Hebra in no time! The cold doesn't bother me quite so much, but I do get a bit restless because of it. Not nearly as much time to spend outside, and indoors feels quite a bit cramped after too long, you see..."

Although, thankfully, it seemed his growth spurt really was taking a break for the time being!

Convenient, that!

"What about a vacation over winter break then??????????????????" Nina suggested. "Wouldn't that, like, help you to feel less cramped, by getting out and about somewhere new???????????????????"

She hadn't planned to bring up her idea for the holidays this early and yet, at the same time, if anyone needed to know ahead of time, it was Sidon...

"I do rather like to make a plan for the breaks to get away for a bit to somewhere a bit more hospitable!" Sidon admitted with a bit of a wistful sort of sigh. "It's always a joy to have everyone visit the Domain, of course, but there are so many more possibilities out there, isn't there? Especially with Vette being able to go home, perhaps she could even suggest somewhere!"

And then he laughed. "Just look at us! We still haven't even technically finished this holiday, and already, we're itching to plan for the next!"

"There's nothing wrong with having vacations lined up like shoes--all nice and neat and orderly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, giggling as well. "Even if it feels so extravagant to do such a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As a girl who'd never had a real vacation before coming here... it really was appallingly extravagant.

"I had an idea for our next vacation, though, if you don't mind a suggestion???????????????????"

"I'll have to take your word for it, Nina!" said Sidon, with a laugh. "Considering I don't even wear shoes!"

He may have given his webbed toes, especially the big one with the particularly long yellow claw a little wiggle to emphasize the point as he chuckled.

"And of course I don't mind a suggestion!" he added with a pump of his fist this time. "Whyever would I, especially when I can only imagine any suggestion you may have would be nothing but delightful as well as exciting!"

This was, after all, the girl who took them out on a tour of a vampire infested castle just for funsies.

"Weeeeell," she said cheerfully, "I was thinking about, like, when you and I were exploring Hyrule after Noctis' birthday party???????????????????"

That had been fun. Nina was still smug about her superior fishing skills, compared to Noctis.

"And, like, you mentioned the Gerudo desert?????????" Nina continued. "And how, like, you couldn't go there.................. but I've been working it out and, like, I think by the time winter really gets going, that I'll be able to make it so you can travel in a desert?????????????"
in_sidon_we_trust: (not so sure about that)

Re: Room 106

[personal profile] in_sidon_we_trust 2019-10-19 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, when it came to fishing, Sidon liked to think he'd had the both of them beaten, but go on...

"In a desert?" asked Sidon, looking a bit skeptical, though his head certainly tilted with intrigue. "Why, that certainly would be a feat, Nina! Even with the availability of potions that allow most Hylians to withstand even the heat of Death Mountain without much trouble, they've never worked for us Zora. I'd be a mere parched shell of myself within moments! Would this involve your magic, though, perhaps?"

Re: Room 106

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-10-19 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"It would definitely involve my magic," Nina said, nodding as she neatly folded up a new dress she'd picked up and tucked it into her suitcase. "And, like, it's not a 'ward off heat' spell, though I suppose I could figure that out if you wanted me to????????????????"

She already had a few ideas for that, truly...

"But, like, I know you don't mind passing as human on the odd occasion," not the way Vette did, anyway, "so I was working more with the idea of, like, what if you were human, indefinitely???????????????" Nina laughed a little. "At least, so long as you were wearing--well, I think an amulet makes the most sense????????????? But if you'd rather a bracelet or an earring I could rework that bit???????????????"

It was, after all, still in progress.

"Oh!" Sidon blinked a little as that all processed in his head, and then a bright, toothy grin broke out on his face. "Why, that doesn't sound that much different from when Miss Hera and Mr. Jarrus used a sort of holographic cloaking device in that class of theirs I took, so that we could help out a soup kitchen on the mainland! Oh, that was terribly fun, Nina, and so strange, to think that I could look human!" Or, well, he actually came out Hylian, but most people couldn't tell the difference. "An amulet that could make me do more than merely appear as such? Marvelous! That would be incredible, Nina! I imagine, then, that I would not be so vulurable to the heat and the arid air, no more so than you yourself, or Prompto or Norman or Tip! Then I could traverse the Gerudo Desert all I wanted!"

Well, not quite, because it was still hot as balls out there, but it would certainly be a bit easier.

"You know," he ventured, with his voice dancing with the thrill of it all, "I don't believe there's ever been a Zora who could traverse the Gerudo Desert, Nina!"

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-10-19 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
And they could just take potions then to help them all across!

Or more magic.

"It would be another story to add to your collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said encouragingly. "Your legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'd be able to tell your people about the desert first-hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"What better way to spend a holiday break!" said Sidon, with a laugh booming enough to resonate through the whole room, pumping his fist to match, before his arms opened, as he spoke excitedly about the prospects. "My legacy will be rife with so many firsts, Nina! First Zora to travel to another world! First Zora in space! First Zora in the Gerudo Desert!"

First Zora to...

...well, some of those thoughts would certainly be getting ahead of himself, as much as he knew Nina would have appreciated them.

"I truly shall live up to my title as the Ambassador Prince, on my own world and other well beyond!"

"Most definitely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said happily, clapping her hands together in her excitement. "Why--oh my gosh, Sidon, I wonder if Lady Teresa would want to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could even wind up meeting a ruler from my world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And wouldn't that be amazing?

"But, like, first the Gerudo Desert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
in_sidon_we_trust: (yes!)

Re: Room 106

[personal profile] in_sidon_we_trust 2019-10-19 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes!" Sidon agreed with a laugh. "One step at a time, though I must admit, it would be exceptional to meet your Lady Teresa as well! Perhaps we could even work together some sort of partnership between worlds, as I'm building with Prompto's Prince Noctis! A veritable multiuniversal alliance of sorts! Tell me, Nina, what's she like?"
bookbeltof_love: (seriously considering)

Re: Room 106

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2019-10-20 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
"She's very brave and wise," Nina said, delighted to talk about one of her favourite people in any world. "She's the acting-mayor of Greenhill since her father, Alec Wisemail is still technically the mayor, but he's been very, very ill for many years so since she was young Lady Teresa's been doing her work and her father's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's not, like, a warrior but she cares deeply for all of her people and does her best to look after them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Room 106

[personal profile] in_sidon_we_trust 2019-10-20 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Why, she must care for them deeply, to sacrifce so much of herself and her time to step up to the task in her father's illness!" Sidon remarked, clearly impressed. "How terribly sad, to have such an ordeal weighing on the shoulders of your kingdom, Nina, but how absolutely remarkable that you should have another capable leader ready to take on the task! She sounds truly incredible, and I would be honored the have the privledge to one day make her acquaintence!"

"I'm sure she'd be delighted to make your acquaintance," Nina said earnestly. "She's, of course, very busy but even so, I'm sure a meeting could be arranged at some point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh, I can only imagine she would be!" Sidon said, his voice energetic with respect and understanding. "I, on the other hand, have an incredibly open schedule; even as king, I don't believe I shall have too many pressing matters to attend to..."

Not unless the Calamity reawakened, in which case....hoo boy...

"I shall happily concede the occasion of our meeting to the lady's utmost convenience!"

It being the last day and half-a-day at that didn't lessen the importance of breakfast any less, so of course Wayne was there, making sure he got a good helping of all of his favorites from the offerings that morning. By now, after all, he was pretty much a breakfast buffet expert, and maybe he'd gotten a few idea on what to do when Monday rolled back around like usual.

Gym

[personal profile] brat_inslayage 2019-10-20 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Early morning, check. Hotel gym, check. Kennedy making it there before Beau did, definite check.

She managed to snag the rowing machine this morning, and . . . a rowing machine had no business moving as fast as half the Fandom contingent, Kennedy included, could make it go. And yet there it was.

You know what, Beau wasn't even trying to tell herself she was going to make it to the gym first any more.

She was, however, exactly playfully petty enough to do a couple of one-armed pullups while flipping Kennedy off, every so often.

Aw. She was kind of going to miss this stupid little contest after this week.
