"Yes. She is. Seems to resent everything I try to do on principle, possibly to garner support from the small minority who agree with her."

"How strong is their loyalty? Do they disagree on other issues?"

Permalink

She takes off the crown, looking tired. "You're trying to be helpful but I don't actually want to talk politics right now. Bar, can I have some of this 'pizza' thing."

Pizza appears. Topped with mushrooms.

Permalink

"I suppose I can sympathize. What would you like to talk about?"

Permalink

"...I don't actually know." She looks at the pizza slightly dubiously. "I don't suppose you know any easy and casual dice games or something?"

Permalink

"I know plenty of card games. I suppose the simplest is Go Fish."

She retrieves a pack of cards from the bar.

Permalink

The rules are explained and now she's playing Go Fish with a princess! What a strange place.

"Do you have makeup at home? I don't need all the gory details of personal grooming, but I'll admit I'm curious."

Permalink

Nod. "There's makeup, yes. I'm not sure how much magic goes into the making of it and how much is just - normal pigments and things. I know there was an issue with whitener a couple of decades ago. It was a lot more toxic long-term than we suspected. I've had doctors testing that sort of thing more thoroughly recently."

Permalink

"Bar might have books on that. We had some issues, and if they're similar enough, more information should help."

She requests something on the history of makeup, which covers the kinds of ingredients used and why they've landed on the modern ones.

"...Ah, so it was the lead powder. Interesting. Thanks for the book recommendations, both of you."

Permalink

"There should be information there about artificial pigments, but I wouldn't recommend following our lead- there are probably improvements we haven't made because we're limited by the mental inertia that plagues most people."

Permalink

"There's something to be said about making slow, measured changes. Particularly if they affect many people at once. There's a man in Hateno Town who is a genius with paint and dye, though, I'm sure he'll enjoy this book."

Permalink

"Of course. You know your own kingdom. Can I ask about the clothes? It's a bit frivolous, but they're an interest of mine. Not just yours, the world in general."

Permalink

"Hm, I'm not sure what you want to know about them?"

Permalink

"How are they made? By magic, or without? What are the styles?"

Permalink

"Most clothes are made by hand. Armor and the like uses forging... Uh." She asks Bar for a book. "This is the sort of thing that's typical for nice-but-not-fancy wear. Styles vary quite a bit with region, though. Some clothes have magic infused in them. Practical-looking clothes, even if they're not actually practical, are popular."

 

Permalink

"Interesting. It's not something I would wear in my world, but I can see the appeal. Are there different expectations for queens?"

Permalink

"Of course, why wouldn't there be? Light-colored dresses with elaborate patterns, ruffles and puffs and things that are impossible to move around in but make you look thoughtful and regal and shiny."

Permalink

"I'm dealing with a world which has a surprising number of differences, given that we appear to be essentially the same type of person. I was considering asking if you have examples of clothes from the other species on your world, but I don't want to waste your time getting books. Your world sounds like ours used to be, besides the magic and the other species. And the Calamity Ganon."

Permalink

"I could give you a few recommendations, at least. And I'm given to understand that the door tries to arrange interesting conversations, so worlds with some sort of similarity makes sense."

Permalink

She'll take recommendations.

"I wonder how many intelligent species most worlds have. One must be uncommon."

Permalink

"I don't think we have enough information to draw reasonable conclusions. But we could ask Bar."
