Could be that it's his sister seated nearby, looking sulkily at her lighter and very, very obviously someone else.

This isn't fair.

"Oh my goodness," snorts Jack.

"Look at you."

Fire whips around and glares at him, although it's really lacking the usual heat.

"I don't like this," she complains. "No one asked me."

"No, it happened to Parker too. He's a fox."

It's adorable.

"Can I set some hounds on him?"

She's just a little cranky this morning, it seems.

"No."

He looks away.

"Please."

"Fine."

She crosses her arms in front of her chest, and sighs. "Anyway. How're you coping with spring?"

"I'm fine."

He shrugs, unhappily.

"As can be."

"Good."

Well, this is awkward.

She threatened to set hounds on his boyfriend. He's a little shut off, and his smile is a little hollow.

"How are you?"

"Fine."

She shrugs, fiddling with her lighter.

"You're rubbing off on me. I did something to help someone else, despite that it hurt."

"I'm sorry."

He pauses.

"Who?"

"Don't be."

She glances over at him. "A girl. Two, actually, although one is more a woman. Charlie McGee and Bev. I don't know her last name."

Zelda spots Jack and wanders over from the bar (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/16376488.html#comments).

"Hello, Jack." she says with a cheerful smile. She's in a pleasant mood as well.

"You still look like yourself!"

Congratulations!

"Have you seen the lunacy yet?"

She makes a cute, confused face. "Lunacy? Has anything happened?"

"I returned to Hyrule with Link (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/16344812.html) for a while, so I have not been here." she explains, blushing a tiny bit.

"I met him. He was nice."

He nods, earnestly.

"Everyone's switched up their bodies. Parker is a fox."

"You did?" she asks, slightly surprised.

"Switched bodies?" she makes a face. Bad magic. "That is terrible..." she sighs.

"No, it's fine. He's fluffy."

Jack's a fan.

"And I did indeed. He seemed very nice."

"Does the spell go away?" she inquires. It would be terrible to be stuck as someone else...

She blushes. "Yes, he's wonderful."

"They do. Usually. A day or so. And Parker is Parker back in Italy."

Jack's turn to blush.

She smiles, noticing the blush. "That's good. I suppose it could be nice to be someone else for a while, even if it was for only a day."

She likes the idea of change, though it could also be just because of Sheik...

"But you did not change into anyone else?"

"No, I did not. Which was nice, really, because it meant I got to be with him. He drank beer from a saucer."

Jack had a lovely time.

She smiles brightly. "You and I already have issues keeping who we are straight." she laughs.

That must have been cute. She has a weak spot for animals. "Did Link mention that he can turn into a wolf?" Okay, so weak spot for one animal in particular...

"So can Frost!"

How exciting!

"That's his new body."
