From: Metis
Date: October 29

[It is after a great deal of trial and error that a video feed pops up on the network. Zelda's grasp on modern technology is still limited at best, but this is apparently important enough to try.]

Excuse me, but would anyone happen to know what this is for?

["This" being a very summer-y hawaiian shirt currently laid out upon what appears to be her dining room table. And there will be no reprieve from it's tourist-y glow for anyone wanting it; the Princess of Hyrule does not know you can flip the camera around on a phone, so the feed is sticking right where it is on the garment as she speaks.]

It was at my temple steps this morning, but without any notes outside of being addressed to me. I am... not certain what to make of it, honestly.

[To say the least.]

[Nephenee can't help chiming in. It's such an interesting fabric!]

What a odd shirt...those flowers are right pretty, though. Ah wonder what they are.

[She seems to think for a moment.]

Ah think it'd make a good pillow with that fabric.

[There's a contemplative hum in the background as Zelda considers this.]

Hmm, yes, I could see that. Certainly it would get more use that way. [She... doesn't think she'll be wearing this.] Unfortunately my sewing skills are limited to stitching up holes in clothes and such, and I am not very good at that, either, so.

[It would unravel in a day.]

[The emerald haired girl smiles.]

Well, if ya end up wantin' to do that, Ah can do it for ya. Been sewin' my whole life. Shouldn't take long, neither. Jus' gotta get some fluff for inside it.

[Wow, you're much more friendly when she's not hanging out on your roof like a creep.]

That is quite generous of you! I may just take you up on that offer, once I have gotten to the bottom of all this. Thank you very much.

[Well now, whose fault is that, Mom?]

You're welcome!

My name's Nephenee, by the way. Ah'm Athena 'round here.

[sageprincess]

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Nephenee. I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule, and... I suppose I have taken up the mantle of "Metis" as well, in this place.

[It still feels weird to introduce herself like that, but if Nephenee's offering her goddess name then it seems only fair that she does the same...]

[mylanceisbiggerthanyours]

[Metis..Metis...why does that seem familiar?]

Ah, nice to meet ya, Your Highness. If ya ever need anythin’ done, jus’ gimme a holler. Ah’m right good with a lance an’ cookin’ and country stuff.

[...Waitaminute.]

..Oh, Metis! Ah think that’s the name o’the Ma o’the original Athena!

[That...sounded less weird in her head.]

[sageprincess]

[What a nice girl. And one that's good at all the things she's kind of terrible at, too! Zelda would have thanked her again for her helpfulness, but then--]

Hm? Do you mean to say the goddesses we have been chosen to represent were related?
