[Sanguis is out and in full swing. Zelda is not feeling quite herself because of this--and it shows if her feverish pacing or the spreading pattern of scales was anything to go by. She supposed she had to be grateful that this hadn't progressed to a point of her having a tail of any kind just yet.

It merely hadn't been bad for her in past months, and it was frustrating to not know the reason behind the change now.]

I have to admit, I've felt...frustrated before but this goes to a new level entirely. I had been fine in previous months as well, so this--this is not something I had come to expect.

I either want to hit something, rather hard and repeatedly. Or...or other such things. I, however, have no experience or training with the former. I would find that more appropriate a vice to address at any rate...

[She's thankful she can at least speak rationally. Even if her thoughts were a mess.</small?] I am...open to suggestions.

I suppose you have a point there. Practice does tend to make perfect--or so they say.

As for the punching bag, I haven't. Father wouldn't have found such things...fitting for my training.

[The staring makes her a little uneasy, far too used to being put under such scrutiny for other reasons. With the commentary that follows, she only flusters more--a flush easily visible.]

I don't make any attempts to get into trouble here. [Back home was...another matter entirely.]

Keyblade training. That's exactly what it sounds like, a sword shaped like a key. It's a... special weapon. Magical, and bonded to its bearer.

[That's only the tip of the iceberg, of course, but she doesn't want to talk Zelda's cute pointy ear off.]

But I'm done with my training for today. I always do it early so I can take some time to dip in the water.

I believe it might be something else entirely--regarding my traits I mean. I'm quite aware I fall under Sanguis at this point.

The scales become uncomfortable if I allow them to remain dry for too long. I am not aware of a species of dragon or snake that would require moisture at such a level.

[Oh. Cute.
Similar or not, Midna always enjoys pushing someone's buttons.]

I assume most people try to stay out of trouble. [Smart people, perhaps. Or rather, people who don't have reckless abandon.] But things don't always go according to plan.

I doubt I need to tell you that.

Oh...those are--[Adorable. Fluffy. She wants to pet them.] Interesting.

I should consider taking this approach. I was able to learn some tricks for cooking back home, it could prove useful...

You are the second person to mention a punching bag.

I wouldn't know too much about if it is always like this, I was fortunate enough to not suffer too many adverse effects last month.

But yes, a matter of solidarity.

I'm not trained in any particular weapon. It has been suggested I simply find something to hit and do so...

I suppose...What would make an ideal target, I wonder.

Depends. Do you want to feel any sort of pain or not?

Hm.

What'd you usually train with?

I am...well aware of that. [Unfortunately. Such is the fate of Hyrule's princess.]

Seeing as I am hardly going to be able to avoid this every month...Do you have any particular suggestions?

Not particularly, no. Do--Do people tend to want to feel pain?

Oh I...My training was more mental and spiritual back home. I wasn't permitted to sit in on any of the knights' training.

What is it with magical swords and bonding with their masters?

[It's muttered. A bit bitter. There's a story there.]

It must be tiring, to be so consistent with such training. I wouldn't mind joining you for a swim as a way to take a break when you train next.

Then I'd recommend just finding a pillow.

[ Vanitas considers the question. What harm is there in explaining? ]

There is a certain release that comes with hitting something hard enough that you also feel it. Other times it just helps keeps you grounded.

[Midna taps at the bottom of her chin thoughtfully.]

Hm. From my understanding, which comes from conversation with some of the other Moonblessed, the traits experienced by the cycles of the moons are not constant or consistent. If you share the same cycle with another person, both of you will have remotely similar traits. You might check with others who react under the same moon and see if you can form a rapport with them.

[It's surprisingly helpful of her. Midna chalks this up to the striking resemblance to the princess of her once-connected world.]

I can't say much beyond that. After my last month of moon traits, I wondered if it would just be best to stay in my residence until the cycle passed. That's probably not the 'right' way to handle that.

[But since when has she ever really done anything that was right?]

[Well that's an interesting question. But it doesn't seem like one she should really press on for the moment.

Maybe another time.]

We don't have to wait. You're feeling antsy right now, aren't you? We can meet down at the beach and go for a dip today if you like.

Oh I...would like that very much.

[Whatever unpleasantness had come to mind with the talk of training seemed to have lifted with that offer, a soft smile coming to her lips.]

I find my days rather open if you are free to meet me now?

Huh. Well, that's no fun, ain't it?

You'd probably like a punching bag, then. It's pretty much like the name implies. Big bag, usually stuffed with something, used for punching.

People who fight with their fists can practice on 'em. But they're dang good stress relievers in general. I had one when I boxed in high school, so I did a bit of both. Pummeled the daylights outta that thing.

You bet! I'll be off in an area a little away from most of the people, so head to the right when you get there.

Oh, you've got a swimsuit, right?

That first person's got the right of it. All I wanna do is fight everybody I see, prove... somethin', I ain't sure what. That I'm better? Stronger? Want everybody to go away?

Anyway, if you're too tired to fight, ya won't feel all bottled up.

You don't happen to box, do you? Or swordfight? Judo? Anything like that?

Not even just regular annoyance at life?

I hadn't considered the moon's intensity could vary from month to month before...

But with that said, I can provide such training. Hand to hand combat was part of my regiment back home.
