[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.]

[So Archer sure sounds like he knows who did this, and is probably less likely than Zelda to be concerned about what he's going to do to them if his suspicion is accurate.]

Let me guess: It was Caster.

[Archer knowing who it is plus the surprising them by wearing it implies it's someone he's in close enough contact with for that to work and someone who couldn't hide it from him.]

[Archer can guess where it's leading, halfway between amused and exasperated.]

If you're planning to prank him back do keep in mind that his temple is always full of shinki and guests. Keep the disturbance to the minimum and I won't have to kick your ass later. Just saying.

[revolutionfalcon]

You of all people should know that threatening me is useless.

But it would be pointless pissing off other people when it's him being the idiot. Besides, you can't seriously think I'd waste time setting up anything more than a minor retaliation for something like this.

[boneofsword]

A considerate warning doesn't equal a threat. Not to mention that you'd know right away if I did.

I can imagine several ways to retaliate, so I'm merely informing you how th situation stands. Besides the sight of me in this shirt is going to be much more effective.

[Enjoy the mental image of Archer wearing the said shirt in the meantime, Shun.]

[revolutionfalcon]

I barely know what people call considerate and even I wouldn't call that considerate.

I'm not going to stop you making yourself look like an idiot for revenge if you want to. But I doubt it's going to work as well as you seem to think.

[boneofsword]

I never said I'm very considerate.

I know him, and I can assure you that it worked pretty well.

[revolutionfalcon]

So basically he's both bad at taking a hint and bad at having the rug pulled out from under him. Makes me wonder what the hell the point of doing this in the first place was.

[boneofsword]

Perhaps he wanted to amuse you by such frivolous gift, and sending you a photo of him wearing such would be met with a frown. You're being predictable by being grumpy.

[revolutionfalcon]

Claiming he wanted to amuse me and then saying it's predictable I'd be grumpy just means it's his problem for trying to do this to someone who doesn't want it.

[boneofsword]

You should work on your sense of humour a bit if you're just going to get annoyed by a harmless prank. Take a step back and chill.

[Seriously, Shun, you're worse than Archer is, and he can see it.]

[revolutionfalcon]

You're acting like I'm actually angry about it. But even if I don't have much humour, not many of the others seem to be finding this funny either.

[boneofsword]

Most likely I'm the only one old and jaded enough to find amusement in such gift.

[revolutionfalcon]

You're not the only person here who's jaded.

["Old", maybe, but at minimum Shun and Zelda are pretty jaded in terms of those who got the shirts.]
