[A small pull of a smile follows his nod in response.] That obvious, huh? I got here this past month. It's... well, it's not like anywhere else I've been.
[To put it mildly. For many reasons. He gets to work, bagging up the crystals from the branch. This task, too, is unlike anything he's had to do before, but he seems up to the challenge. More than that, while he works, he lets curiosity lead his responses.]
So how does that work? The requests. You ask the crystal for something...what does the crystal get out of it?
[Zelda moves to help, picking up the pieces of the branch with nimble fingers. She has to laugh in response.]
I felt the same way when I got here. I imagine everyone does.
[Straightening for a moment, Zelda pulls out her crystal pendant, a translucent blue with gold flecks.]
That's right - you use the pendant you would have gotten on arrival. And that is basically how it works. Whatever you've asked for will be in your home when you return there. Or, if it's a power of yours, it comes back immediately. [Stowing the pendant back under her shirt, Zelda shakes her head.] It gains a form of power, I believe. Some kind of energy.
[The smile remains, broadening a bit at her words. The observation, maybe. It makes him think a bit.] Yeah? Wonder if that's because this place isn't what we're all used to, or if it's really different from anyone else's world.
[He could see it going either way.
Noel's gaze follows her direction, frowning at her pendant. You ask for something, the crystal gets it for you. It gains some kind of power...]
... Do you trust it? [He sort of blurts that out before he can filter it.] I mean...if it gets some kind of power from things we ask it for, or from us, or something like that...what does it need that power for, anyway?
