A Charming Prince and His Prince(ss)
Naps and Relaxing Swims
~~.~~
The cute little bouncing baby didn't seem so cute when he was screaming at the top of his lungs. But that didn't stop Zelda from loving him no matter what, she walked in to see Sana was awake as well and trying her best to calm the young one. "Here," Zelda said holding out her arms. Sana passed him over and she pointed to a weirdly shaped device inside the crib. "That there is a bottle please take that to Ms. Kiurelle, she knows exactly what he needs," she watched Sana nod and head off. Zelda kissed her sons head and cooed calming him down a bit, she hadn't been able to breast feed him very long after his birth as her milk had dried up but Ms. Kiurelle had come up with a solution. Moo moo milk was great for a growing child but it wasn't easy to get fresh moo moo milk without a cow nearby. Thankfully her nurse maid had purchased one and kept it in a grazing pasture just outside the ruined village. "Mikael, it's alright. There, there, mommy's here." The baby was now making little sounds of discomfort but other than that he seemed perfectly fine.
It wasn't long before Sana came back with the bottle. "Here she um.. showed me how to fill it. Very fascinating to watch honestly," Sana said with a giggle. "Do you always have to sing to them?"
"Oh yes, it's the only way to relax them," Zelda replied. "Of at least that is what Ms. Kiurelle says. Here would you like to feed him?" Sana smiled and nodded, Zelda carefully placed him into her arms and showed her what to do with the bottle. It wasn't long before Mikael was completely relaxed and suckling the false nipple of the bottle. He even smiled a bit and giggled before going back to suckling.
"He so adorable," Sana whispered. Zelda felt warmth flooding her, to see someone getting along so well with her son, it made her happy. Link never really had any idea what to do with such a small thing so he had often busied himself outside. She remembered how uncomfortable he was around Mikael like he had no idea what he should be doing but Sana was different. She had embraced the fact that Zelda had a child, and even entertained the young one. Maybe this would work out somehow, she thought. Zelda closed the distance and stroked Mikael's tiny head and in that moment she somehow knew he was destined for greatness. But would that greatness be good or evil? She didn't know but she knew she would still love him, no matter what.
"Your destiny is your own, Mikael never forget that," Zelda whispered to him. The boy giggled and released the bottle allowing Sana to set it aside. Mikael was now back to sleeping soundly, so the zora woman carefully laid him back down in the crib. She then turned to Zelda whom smiled and motioned they should make a quick exit while he was out. Once out in the living area Zelda sat down and motioned to a nearby chair. "It isn't too dry here is it?"
"No not at all the lake nearby actually lets off quite a bit of moisture," Sana replied. "It isn't like the domain but it's not bad at all. You seem to like it here however, how have your people been?"
"They have been spread out it seems," Zelda replied. "Most seem to be travelers unable to find a home to go to though some do live in a couple villages here and there. And even some of the travelers are willing to settle down and make homes in the places we are rebuilding. I would love to see my people flourish again in peace and prosperity. Not that I know how long such a peace would last, it seems my home has more peril wrapped around it than I knew. I don't even know if calamity Ganon will return one day. I don't know if I fully destroyed him or if some piece of him got away, only time will tell I suppose."
"It is a huge burden I," Sana replied. "A burden I do not intend to let you carry alone." Zelda smiled lightly, she couldn't imagine sharing the burdens of her lines destiny with anyone. She thought that if she tried it would only hurt others, she couldn't help but remember Revali, Daruk, Mipha and Urbosa. Urbosa, there was someone she remembered counting on more than once in the gerudo desert, homeland of the gerudos. Zelda couldn't help but feel like a helpless princess no matter where she went.
"Sana, I.. I know I shouldn't really ask this," Zelda began. "Would you be willing to teach me how to.. fight? Well I mean teach me how to use.. weapons." Sana grinned at her, so much so that she wondered if the zora was taking her seriously. "I know I am still technically a princess but.. I want to be able to protect myself and others."
"Of course, I completely understand," Sana replied. "It's hard when you watch people you care about parish while you are unable to protect them yourself. I will gladly teach you what I know, but first we need to set up a training area. So let's go and speak with Bolson, I hear is great with building." Zelda smiled and nodded in return, this promised to be fun as well as a lot of hard work. It took them a little while to find Bolson but Zelda let Sana explain to them what they needed and while they were building Sana began to show off a few moves and explained what they needed to work on for Zelda to even begin to wield a sword. "We're going to swim, I feel once you have finished relearning how to swim you may be able to wield a sword. So today we will focus on your swimming technique and see how long you can swim for." Zelda nodded as she looked over to see Bolson was still in the process of building their training area but she imagined it would look great once it was finally finished.
"I think they will have it finished by this evening at the rate they are going," Zelda mentioned.
"I think you're right, Link was correct about their hard work and dedication," Sana replied. They both shared a bit of a giggle before Sana led her over to the lake. Zelda was a bit nervous about getting even partially undressed with them so near but she put on a brave face and removed her tunic and pants as well as her shoes. She then followed Sana into the water until it was up to her breasts. Taking a deep breath she dove in and began to swim a bit, she felt a hand gently push her up to the surface. She took a breath and looked over at Sana who was easily keeping mostly upright and keeping pace with her. "Hang on, let me see your hand," Zelda allowed Sana to hold her aloft while she gave the zora her hand. "I know this might seem a little strange but try to turn your hand into a knife and cut into the water like this," She said guiding Zelda's hand and arm into the unfamiliar motion, she couldn't help but feel a little silly and maybe even a little shy about it. "Then turn it like a paddle to push yourself forward." She turned Zelda's hand to push the water below her, Zelda nodded and began to practice this new move before she finally was comfortable enough to swim on her own.
At that point Sana released her and allowed her to swim around the lake a few times on her own. Zelda felt a little giddy at how she was able to swim better than before. She almost felt like she was gliding along the surface rather than splashing helplessly like a drowning boar. She couldn't keep up the pace however and did slow down at which point she felt the water near her ripple as though Sana were swimming close beside her. She took comfort in knowing she was not alone out here in the deeper portion of the lake and allowed herself to fully tire out before Sana grabbed her hand and gently led her back to shore. Zelda took a few deep breaths while she stood half in the water. She noticed the cloth on the shore and another to dry off with folded neatly on top as well as a change of clothes. Ms. Kiurelle must have left those, she thought. Sana suddenly picked her up and carried her to shore, then set her down one the soft cloth before taking a seat next to her.
Zelda took the cloth and began to dry herself off. "Mikael really is a darling tiny thing," Sana suddenly said.
"I sometimes wonder about that," Zelda joked. "I'm not really certain I am cut out for this. I didn't even have my mother for very long, I don't really know what I'm doing or if I'm.. I'm doing something wrong, I mean." Sana turned her face towards her and looked Zelda in the eyes.
"You are doing what any new mother would," Sana whispered. "Your best." Zelda blushed she hadn't really expected the contact but she wasn't exactly adverse to it either. She got lost in that gaze and even felt herself leaning closer, it wasn't until their breath's melded together that she realized just how close they had gotten. She swallowed hard, her chest felt tight and heavy and then eyes fluttered shut and a gentle teasing kiss played upon her lips. Though started out as gentle and light, it ended up being more passionate than she had expected their tongues danced with one another and it was as though she could feel the love Sana had for her. She half expected the zora to devour her, but then the kiss was ending and Sana was pulling away with a huge grin on her face. Zelda bit her lower lip and smiled as well. She wasn't entirely certain what she had felt just then but she did know that her thoughts were only of Sana. She blushed as she realized her hand had ended up on Sana's breast.
"Oh, um.. sorry," Zelda apologized. Sana just giggled at her.
"I didn't mind," Sana replied. Zelda smiled at that, she knew her face was probably as red as the setting sun but she was giddy none-the-less.
"Sorry to interrupt but I brought you two something to eat," Ms. Kiurelle suddenly piped up. She too had a big grin on her face, she handed them the plates of food before excusing herself. Zelda felt even more embarrassed, had her nurse maid saw that kiss? She looked over at Sana who was now focused on the food before her. And when Sana looked at her she looked away to her own food, she wasn't exactly sure why she did that. Maybe she didn't want Sana to see the stupid grin on her face. She took a bite of the fish and hummed in approval, Ms. Kiurelle was a great cook and it definitely soothed her soul.
~~.~~
Ms. Kiurelle watched from the house her smile was still there, she couldn't believe the princess fell in love with a zora. It was rich, she turned to the tiny boy and watched him play. "Oh dear child you are destined to rule all of Hyrule one day. Just as my master planned," She chuckled lightly, her eyes turning into slits as she did. The child giggled but otherwise ignored her, in a few years she would have the pleasure of teaching him everything about his father. Everything he would need to know, of course it would be the child who would intimately decide all their fates. But perhaps she could guide him, just a little toward the future his father envisioned for these miserable fools.

*intercept's* Whew well… umm yeah… I uh.. I didn't even see that last part coming… So who is Ms. Kiurelle really? Should Zelda be concerned? Should we? Find out in future episodes of The Charming Prince and HIS Prince(ss)! Hope to see you soon and maybe we will unravel this mysterious mystery!
