4th moon [written]

[Written with a quill:]

Which writing instruments do you generally favor?

[Written with a ball-point pen:]

Are they the same you could find in your worlds?

[Written with a graphite pencil:]

Also, what are all of these named?

[Written with an ink brush:]

Rydia, I'll need to speak to you.

Probably not.

[Rydia leans in to impulsively give him a hug.]

I know it's selfish, but...I'm glad you're here and not just a memory for us.

[Cecil's never had a problem returning hugs.]

Wanting your friends by your side is never selfish, as long as they feel the same way. And I'd certainly never say no to spending time with you.

Uh huh! Lots of people use them for school.

Because their markings can be erased if you make mistakes?

...I suppose that it would. I know I'd not trust anything about this place upon first arriving.

Not even those nice, well-made spears in the smithy?

If anything, the way everything was so convenient around here made it more suspicious. I spent most of my early months focused only on returning home.

Everyone else must have found that belief exasperating.

[He means it nicely, honest.]

I guess so! I make a lot of mistakes when I write, anyway.

I spent as much time as I could away from the village, in the mountains.

[Trying to locate a Mount Ordeals substitute? ...Possibly.]

Being able to erase them must be a blessing. With quills, all we could do was cross them out and pray our tutors would not comment on them.

[That damn BFF-stealing mountain. Dad, give Kain back every so often!]

They do offer a lovely view, especially of the ocean. Those hot springs also seem quite relaxing.

Those are dumb. When I learnt to write in Hyrule, we used charcoal - it's all smugdey and makes your fingers go black, but the ones who were really good used those. There's a plant which has black sap, like ink, and they used that.

Charcoal? Perhaps they have some of it here...

[Rummaging sounds over here.]

Have you seen that plant in Luceti? It could be used as an independent, replenishing source of ink.

[That makes her smile warmly.]

Thanks, Cecil. And I would say the same, about you.

I certainly hope so. Otherwise, I'd feel quite bad about all those times Rosa and I invited you to visit and talked your ear off about Ceodore's first steps.

[Never! Even in an alternate world.]

I still spend a great deal of time there for those reasons.

[And of course, for the solitude.]

Should you wish to try something new, you could certainly become a mountain guide, after all this time.

...I'll keep that in mind should I want a change in occupation.

No, I haven't seen it at all. I think it's something that only grows in Hyrule, like Dekus.

Now? Well... I usually use a brush that is neither too stiff or soft and a fine, thick ink.

[She chuckles at that.]

Something tells me I'd never mind that.

Do not overestimate a parent's ability to wax lyrical about their little ones. It'll only take a year for you to know all of the most comfortable chairs in the castle.

Having a supplementary income is always a good idea.

Dekus? What sort of plant is it?
