[ cute :) he thinks it is very nice that scien is enjoying himself even if he is apparently bad at enjoying himself. sidon meets this feeling with a lowkey, natural sort of happiness, as if to try to balance the emotional scales a bit, a reaction to seeing his BLORBO find JOY. ]
Dahut did mention you were from an isolated community.
[ terrible french island with bad nobility ]
I'm glad you have an opportunity to travel beyond it! Even if circumstances here are strange.
I am, but supposedly we will be returned to the same point in time. [ things are so crazy here and in the loz universe that he believes this is possible. ] Two months is no great loss to me.
[ perception of time hits different when you're over a hundred and still a young man. still, there's a rumble of concern in him even as he says it, but it's kept in check. ]
[ it's probably not a bad idea to be skeptical of this place and the people running it, but sidon's emotions don't reflect a ton of doubt. there is some pensiveness, though. ]
And you'd expect they'll put us in danger of death? [ seems like a bad business model ]
[ this is a bleak assessment but sidon laughs a bit anyway. ]
You remain true to your pessimism.
[ while he doesn't deny the possibility, his feelings are an even stream, not yet disturbed. ]
I will make every effort not to die. I do have a kingdom to care for. But will you be putting yourself in danger? You do not strike me as the compliant type.
It's not a foregone conclusion, only a possible one that people ought not forget.
[scien isn't necessarily a pessimist? he's the kind of person who's like no actually i'm a realist! but once again, he'd enjoy being wrong here.]
I am not compliant, but it is not something I care to change. It would also obviously be an act if I were to change now. [so like... not that effective] If it makes me a target, I will deal with that when it comes.
[ he cants his head, curious. it takes some time to get used to scien's way of thinking—the zora are, by and large, an emotional people. his thoughts are charged with optimism. it's strange to meet someone so different. not wholly lacking emotion, but different. ]
Only in vague terms, which is for the best since we still lack specific information.
For now, I intend to do what I can to complete my own analysis of what's been done to our bodies and then perform a risk assessment. At the very least, I have less to lose than all of you if something becomes of me for poking around too much.
He's just small! [ small people can be so dangerous!!!!! ] But, no. I mean in the sense that neither of you seem to fear death the way that most would.
Ah. We don't, but that's because we're not like normal people.
Both of us will be revived back home if we suddenly disappear—we might even be revived before this tour is even over. In which case, these bodies will become outdated and will need to die upon return regardless.
I see... [ while this does spike a natural little alarm, because sidon has lived a long time but he's still mortal, it'd have been much worse if he hadn't already spoken to dahut. ] I hope you will take care of yourselves regardless. So much is unknown here. Even these "nanites" could make changes we aren't aware of.
[ it is a little fussy compared to his usual state of sunshine. ]
[that's fair, worrying more about dahut makes sense]
I'm not in a rush to die, and I'm always prepared for a fight.
But in terms of where I come from—I'm not worried about their ability to make it without me for a short while. I'd still like to get as much use out of this trip as I can.
I've thought that as well! Taking back all the knowledge and experience we accumulate here... this doesn't need to just be an inconvenience.
[ ignores that this is a murder game. this is only a waste of time if they make it one. ]
There are questions back home that may have answers here—where so much from the multiverse is available to us. [ he sounds kind of excited about it, even if he's not like, strictly a nerd. it's just neat and full of promise. ]
Well, we came very close to disaster recently. [ despite this, he is suddenly filled with EXTREMELY FOND FEELINGS!!!! that quickly becomes more morose, but for a moment scien can get blasted. ] But even beyond that, problems have persisted across all of Hyrule for the past hundred years. I'm sure every kingdom has problems that no one man can solve.
[there's something so funny about the way that scien gets blasted and yet on his emotional processing side, there's something... incomplete about it. how the feeling of fondness never completely manifests - instead stalling out and then disappearing entirely
scien still makes a face at the feeling]
Eugh...
Most likely. That's the way in which society works. Relying on one person to be a savior often backfires.
[ and once again he is just SOOOO FOND he is thinking about his original blorbo and it is just affection and pride and gratitude abound. but then, there's these fellas and their off-kilter feelings.
[ that's what he means, mostly—dahut's reaction had not been so disdainful, but there were still problems with all the surrounding emotion.
being conscientious, he tries NOT to think about link which just kind of makes him think about link, he just likes him so much, but the little tug of war going on in his fish brain at least does not hyper beam any more emotion at scien. ]

but ok whatever you say fish man. but unfortunately scien can only say with certainty:]
It is.
[he's actually genuinely enjoying himself, even though his emotions are still fucked up about it. never exactly the right frequency]
So this is what the world outside our country has to offer...
[they're in fucking space and scien loves suika]

There are decent things about it, even if it's not according to anyone's plan.

Does it bother you, when I feel strongly?

No.

[ even if it's positive? ]
no subject
No. It's not mine, so I don't want it. I'm not an emotional person to begin with, and I'd rather leave it that way.
