[ She doesn't have to see his blush to know that she flustered him. Zelda has a little self-satisfied grin as she puts food into her bowl. ]
I thought you might like some company. [ Not that Satan's comatose form isn't company, but he's not a very good conversationalist right now.
Zelda glances around, wondering if there's a dining table available or if they're just going to stand in the kitchen. (She's not going to comment either way.) ]
[ Luckily for them, the mess Mammon has kept has mostly kept to the kitchen. So he gives her a nudge and starts heading off to the living room that looked to be in a lot better shape. ]
[ Mammon nudges a couple cushions to the side to make a little more space for Zelda to sit down. ]
Yeah... I mean I'm the second oldest after all. I'm used to hearin' all of them complainin' on a daily basis. Blah Blah this. Blah Blah that. Don't sneak into my room and sell my make up, Mammon! Who said you could play my video games, Mammon! After a while it just feels... kinda lonely without it.
[ Zelda sits down in the offered seat, careful not to spill any of her food. ]
They certainly sound like little brothers! [ She says with a laugh. ] Or so I hear. I am an only child myself, but I had a friend in the castle who often complained about her sister.
But I felt a little like that before Link arrived.
[ That jest is enough to trigger Zelda's defensiveness. Her cheeks turn pink. ]
Of-Of course you're enough! You're both very dear to me and I love to spend time with you. But I cannot demand your company every waking moment or impose myself on you at every mealtime, especially—
[ Oh. He's teasing her. She looks down at her food, embarrassed. ] Well, I would have been much lonelier without you and Satan.
[ he cracks a smile at her outburst. She was always usually so composed, so seeing her get a little more emotional even if it was just from his teasing was a little enjoyable. Sorry, Zelda.
He reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately. ]
I can't really speak for Satan, but I'm pretty sure he'd agree with me when I say it wouldn't really be imposin' if it was you.
[ Zelda makes a little indignant noise as Mammon ruffles her hair, but doesn't move out of his reach. She doesn't quite have the words to say why she likes it, but she does. ]
Yes, I can almost hear him saying the same. [ She huffs out a little sigh. ] It feels strange not to hear 'Little Miss Squash' at every other turn.
Absolutely. [ Zelda nods emphatically. ] He cannot simply take a little nap or a month-long trip to a dreamscape who goddess knows what else without telling us in advance. It's most inconsiderate!
[ If her reunion with Link is anything to go by, Zelda would probably do the exact same thing. ]
Right? Like that's the first rule of bein' polite. Write a note if you're gonna be away for a while or somethin'! Looks like he forgot his manners or somethin!

Thanks... I guess I kinda needed that.

I imagine you aren't accustomed to long stretches of solitude, having six brothers.

[ He hoped she understood he was just teasing her. It was the only way he knew how to show his affection to people, teasing. ]

When he wakes, we should demand recompense.

[ Mammon... ]

We'll have to consider what would be an appropriate repayment rate for lost time, not to mention emotional hardship.

Do you think so? [ Now she's genuinely thinking about it. What would she ask as for if she had a blank check to make Satan do anything she wanted? ]
What would you ask for, Mammon?
no subject
[ Mammon leans over to whisper. ]
I wouldn't even ask for anything. Seein' dumb pouty face is gift enough for me.

I understand completely. It's cute when he does that. He's much more the Avatar of Petulance than he is Wrath.
