[He would kill her on impact but he'd get infected from thorn pricks and die. We'd both be free.]
Yes! Yes, I have. [Proper is generous, considering they are ripped to shit.] It feels so much better. And I didn't have to cut up your suit! Would you like it back?
Though...
[He seems p happy naked. Keeping prudent eyelines here.]
...Yeeeeees, but. [She waggles her head.] It's a familiar damage. So to speak. And I might say, I'd prefer my dirty clothing from home to a clean body suit like before.
But thank you, I'll take good care of it. You have my word and my gratitude.
You look much more comfortable, though. Are you faring all right?
[She doesn't want to ask if he needs water but. Does he need water.]
There's nothing wrong with holding onto what's familiar here. We have very little from home! It is a lovely dress.
[ if the damage doesn't bother her, then it doesn't bother him. and he does seem to be doing fine, all things considered, or is at least doing a good job pretending otherwise. ]
I'm all right. It was not my choice to be here, but—nothing to be done for it, I suppose!
[She smiles at him, less sunny than before but perhaps more sincere. It's a rather sweet sentiment, and one she's grateful to hear.
And odd as it may seem, grateful to hear from someone who reminds her of home. Human though she may be, Rosamund takes more heart in the fantastical than the real. Doubly so against a backdrop of flawless steel and cold stars.]
What would you like to have here? If you had your choice. Your home must be truly splendid, I imagine.
[ glad to remind her of her own frog back home. though sidon is decidedly more comfortable in his own skin. ]
Hm... [ his home is wonderful indeed. ] There is a courtyard, at the entrance of our Domain. It is beautifully crafted by our most talented artisans—even moreso to view it under star and moonlight than during the day.
[ so it'd be right at home here! though, he pauses. ]
But there is no place more perfect for it than where it is now. So I will wait to see it again! [ no big deal. it's two months. ] And what about you? Your home?
[It's not just Gerard!!! she has several furry friends ok]
That sounds spectacular. Your domain, is it underwater? Or are you used to being on land?
[Making some bold assumptions here but yanno.]
Mine is, um. Well. [She dips her head to one side, thoughtful.] My proper home has been lost for some time, but I'd say...if it wouldn't mean they were in danger, or equally trapped here, I'd very much like to see my friends again.
Or just have more animals around. Doesn't it feel so empty without wildlife? A few people brought some pets, but that's not the same.
[ why wouldn't someone assume that fish people live underwater tbh ]
It is ensconced within a spring—we keep ourselves surrounded by water, but above ground! [ zora's domain is partially on stilts ] It's more pleasant to have a balance of both.
[ but he's fortunate that despite the troubles of hyrule, the domain is intact. not everyone is so lucky. ]
You will see them again, surely—it sounds as though our contracts are short! And people as much as a home as a place. [ it sounds like she has good company, at least. ] Though I must agree—we are sorely lacking in nature!
[Assuming he is a fish though, perhaps things are different in space.]
Oh! Oh well that's wonderful! I was worried you might be feeling a little faint by now. Or dried out, or. Nevermind.
[She waves the matter off.]
I wouldn't say short. A lot can happen in eight weeks, you know. [hahaha.] Maybe once we reach shore, there'll be a chance to see something more lively.
[ he's tickled with how many people think he's going to shrivel up like a beached fish. it'll be okay, probably. ]
No need to worry! Though the concern is very kind of you. [ he accepts it with a smile, even if he's Tough and Young and far too easygoing to be worried just yet. ] You're right though. Two months is ordinarily a drop in the ocean to me, but... circumstances are different here. I suppose we'll have to take it week by week.
Why don't we make a promise? Let's check in on each other, every week, and whatever's on our mind, whatever worry we've got or, if we're really missing something, we can just...let it out!
[She nods, affirming the idea on the spot herself.]
No judgment or anything. And that way neither of us has to fester in silence. How does that sound to you?
Same! [Nodding so enthusiastically. Wow, it's nice to have a fellow optimist! himbo and bimbo squad] Seriously! Anything at all! Just ask! I'm only a few doors away!

No, please—it is yours to keep!
[ he wouldn't ask for it back when it was a gift to begin with, and also he does not wear clothes. 9' of fabric wasted on him. ]
Besides, it looks like your clothes may be damaged...? [ she can use his suit for repairs or something, if she wants. ]

punches YOU
What a wonderful idea! Every week then.
[ he says it firmly, like a promise. the sort of oath a prince makes. ]
But if ever you need to speak sooner—or more often—know that I would always lend you an ear.
Kicks your kneecaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[And they were best friends 4 eva]
