She wasn't sure why she went to Harry's. She'd worked all day and it was a real drag. She didn't have him to pester or talk to and there was so much extra work to do. She was exhausted, honestly, but also lonely. She wanted a friend but she didn't know what for. So, there she was on his couch as he was telling some story. Her mind was elsewhere though and it was almost as if she was in some sort of trance. Not the type of trances she often goes into. When she heard him say her name her head tilted to look up at him, not just past him. "Sorry, what? I just zoned out for a moment. I'm sorry." Zelda frowned and sunk back into the couch, a somber expression on her face to match her frown. "Sorry, I just...god, I keep saying sorry, don't I?" She sighed before continuing. "I'm just having a difficult time focusing lately." She hadn't felt much like herself since the ball and thought maybe company would help her, but now she just felt like she wasted Harry's time. "I'm sor-- I shouldn't have bothered you this late. I really just needed some company, even if it was sitting in silence. I just need something to distract me." She looks back up at him. "Do you work tomorrow? I don't want to keep you up too late."

Halloween was Zelda's favorite time of year. As far as she was concerned it lasted the entire month of October. She wanted to enjoy as many things she could that month. Dressing up and having a few too many drinks was certainly something that was destined to happen. Zelda was having fun, engaging in a few activities between drinks but when she spotted a certain someone she was quick to approach. "Boo!" she yelled out from behind and giggled when he turned around. "Were you scared?" she asked with a smile. It was clear that she was enjoying herself and was a bit drunk, but hey! Everyone deserves to let loose sometimes. Zelda leans towards Harry and looks up at him. "It's kind of cold out here. You're just a teddy bear though! Are you cold? Teddy bears are so good at keeping people warm. I should know. I have a giant one." She giggles again, not realizing for once that she's rambling. She was blissfully unaware. "Do you want a drink? They have different Halloween themed ones that are so good."

February had came and went for Zelda. With March now here that meant spring was around the corner. She still had a hoodie on with the hood up to protect her against the wind, but at least the sun had been out for the better half of the day. As it began to set though the wind felt cooler. She didn't hate the colder months, but was a summer baby and much preferred the warmer weather. She had felt like she'd been in a bit of a slump the last few months and she could feel her mind block starting to fade away. Reading her cards was still second nature but struggling to get a clear image while scrying had been frustrated. When she finally managed to see something it had been vague, but clear enough to feel ominous. So, while Zelda was out as she walked down the sidewalk she steered towards the side of caution. Not running across the street to avoid crosswalks and taking glances behind her shoulder were on that side. She felt almost paranoid but told herself no matter what were to happen the future was not set in stone. She was approaching a crosswalk and as she waited for driving cars to come to a halt someone walked up from behind and begin walking once a car went past, giving them an opportunity to bolt across to the other side. As they did Zelda felt a horrible feeling grow within her. Without a second thought she screamed out for them to stop and reached out, grabbing the back of their jacket to pull them backwards, causing the two to fall to the sidewalk. The car sped off with a loud screech from their tires then Zelda finally looked over at the other. "Harry?" Her brows furrowed upon realizing who it was. "Are you alright?"

Zelda didn't need to look behind masks to know Harry when she spotted him by the bar. He radiated a type of energy that Zelda was drawn to and being in bright colors helped her spot him. His outfit was very Harry-esque and it was perfect for him. After she approached the bar she tapped him on the shoulder and smiled when he turned around. "Hi, Harry," she greeted. "You look rather radiant," she said with a light giggle. The drinks may have been catching up to her a little bit and she had lost Mason in the crowd. She hoped he was alright without her. Certainly he would be, Zelda thought, he was a grown man and perfectly capable of taking care of himself. When she came back to reality and shook her thoughts away she looked up at Harry. "I know part of the mystery is the fun of all the masks, but I just know you." He looked like daylight, golden sun, and her-- midnight. It suited them both but was a complete opposite of the other. "You look good though, really." She smiled genuinely and nodded. "Are...are you here with anyone? I thought maybe I could steal you for a drink or a dance. Just for a little bit. I can share."

Zelda didn't mind her job. She was grateful she had it but always knew she wanted more than that. Still, it had it's perks. Like the food. She couldn't complain about that especially when she was able to get a special request made. Harry, a guy that worked in the kitchen, for example was one of the perks. He was always willing to make Zelda a special meal he knew she'd like or her favorites. Zelda appreciated Harry but also loved to get a rise out of him and she knew which buttons to push to get him flustered. She walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face and her ponytail swinging from side to side. "Oh, there's my favorite master chef," she teased as she approached him from behind the platform where the food was placed after it was finished and ready to be served. She leaned against it slightly and smiled at him. "Isn't it funny that I'm finished for the day and want something to eat, but you're still working?" Her lips turned a little bit into a smirk and she looked up at him through her lashes. "I know you have something already cooked up for me. You always do. So, come on! What is it today? You don't want to see me get hangry, do you?"
