[ the flower crown quest is one she feels comfortable with. as a child she learned it from her mother, and as a lady it was a skill she refined through her maids. she lost interest in it after more pressing matters came to the forefront, but doing it all over again has a nostalgic feel to it.
so she's going around some parts of the residential homes, knocking on doors, trying to see if anyone might be interested in learning. she suspects it isn't a common skill when so many people come from different time periods and cultures, so it's a good idea to reach out. ]
[ Reaching out for something like that... that's endearing, really! The flower crown quest has proven to be a bit deceptive in its actual difficulty, so Zelda is doing good. ]
Oh, hello.
[ Since she's stopping sort of door to door, the good news here is Honebami isn't unfriendly or intimidating. He looks like a young teenager, curious at what she's doing at the door ]
[ she takes a step back when the door opens, relieved someone is in. she doesn't recognize him, but that's more than ok. even better really - it's a good idea to know as many faces as possible in this small area. she smiles at him and takes in a breath for her pitch. ]
Good day to you. My name is Zelda, a Bluo resident. I'm coming around today to see if anyone needs help with the flower crown quest - specifically with learning how to make them. Do you feel you may need any assistance?
[ completing as many quests is important, even if recent events have made her a little more soured toward them. still, she must keep her spirits high. ]
[ Help with flower crowns... He isn't very good himself, regretting he was never as interested in the idyllic little activity like his brothers. They made him some, but he never took them apart or something rude like that. ]
I would.
[ He runs back into his house, returning with a basket of neatly cut flowers. He was going to practice privately instead of at the gardens, but it would be better to use them now. This young woman knows what she's doing, maybe she'd like some. ]
Ah, no. But I can't blame you for thinking that. [ now she feels frazzled. got to get back on track. ] We can do it right here in your home, if that's alright? I don't think it'll take too long.
[ He picks up on the shift in her mood, but more importantly, flower crown lessons. He can ask what she does to be so altruistically helpful after. ]
Sure, it's fine. Come in.
[ He leads her inside, where he and his housemate have a clean table to do the quest. He goes through his batch of gathered flowers, trying to figure out what works best for this. ]
You bring them together... Like this, right? My younger brothers could make chains of flowers.
[ she follows in and takes a seat by the table, giving the flowers a look over. she has a small woven basket of her own flowers collected, brought just in case, and sets it down. ]
The idea of the crown is to create a firm shape that won't fall apart when it has to be stretched to fit over your head. Essentially it's just a connected chain that has to be reinforced with many flowers tied around over and over.
[ When she says it should stretch over a head, he feels compelled to tug on the stems lightly... ]
That makes it sound very complicated...
[ After working on it for a while, he hols the loop over and above Zelda's head before realizing it's... too large, whoops. Sorry extra flowers, he's gotta take you out, carefully. ]
Some of these are easier to use, but the sturdier ones have bigger flowers. I guess they'd bend over otherwise.
[ He doesn't say it, but the praise gives him more confidence, working in new flowers with a little less hesitance. Still, he glances at her work from time to time. ]
No, I was from the most recent group. The two I knew from home came before me, first and second.
[ That was really fortunate. Otherwise Honebami would be pretty gloomy. He is still a little, Mutsunokami and Tonbokiri aren't his brothers... But they do their best with taking care of eachother. ]
Did you find people to help you around here? I had them, so I haven't felt too lost.

Hello? Anyone home?

Do you... need something?

Do you require compensation for your services?
no subject
The only thing I would like before I go is to see you complete a flower crown without my assistance. I think that should be fair compensation.
[ she doesn't need for anything, but making sure he actually knows what to do when she's not around is important. ]
no subject
[ There's a tilt of his head. He's never had formal schooling himself, but he gets the idea they are like that from what he does know. ]
I'll try my best at making one though... I've been having some trouble. Is there a place you would want to go for this?
no subject
Ah, no. But I can't blame you for thinking that. [ now she feels frazzled. got to get back on track. ] We can do it right here in your home, if that's alright? I don't think it'll take too long.

[ she too is working on a crown at the same time, figuring the effort of them working together at the same time can be a good learning experience. ]
Tell me, have you been here for a long time? I myself came with the second group of three so far.
no subject
No, I was from the most recent group. The two I knew from home came before me, first and second.
