[ MENACING... help. sidon's hammerhead is a good roost for the octopuff at least, and he doesn't mind as it sits there and wiggles its tentacles at throné. ]
Precisely so! [ an anglerfish light just. appears on his head, aptly timed to entertain meepa as he speaks. he doesn't seem to have a hard time talking about this, though there is a wistfulness behind his smile. ] But yes, she is remembered with all our fondness. A champion of our people, and the crown jewel of the royal family. A kind healer, yet unmatched with a spear. She was... have you ever met someone that you could not help but love? That sort of person.
[ aww. they're cute, throne and meepa both. he laughs softly, tilting his head so his new little octopuff buddy doesn't fall off when it lists to one side while reaching for the light. ]
Thank you—...it was a long time ago. [ this is said as though he or the zora are at all over it, which they are not. they are so not over it. ] I try to speak about her with a smile these days. Most people who are lost to us—I'm sure they want to be remembered fondly.
[ and not just grieved over forever. which also happens. ]
[of all the races i think the zora are the most not over losing their champion yeah]
... I find myself in awe of you often, Sidon. [she says, after a second, folding her arms. the smile is still there, with that tinge of melancholy she always has, but it's there.] You're right. I'm sure they would.
It takes strength to do, remembering people with a smile, but perhaps that's something I'll work for.

... Yes. [she says, with a little smile. this is more genuine.] She sounds wonderful.
I'm sorry that you lost her.
