"I can't believe it! And here you said you wouldn't ever have kids~!"

Then again, Purah said the same once. Things really do change, don't they?

Purah was starting to tear up while still hugging Akari. Happy tears, of course!

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

She pauses. Blinking quietly.

Prooocessing ...

. . . .ᐟ.ᐣ

"What!? You're actually—!?" Purah hovers her hands to her mouth, jaw dropped. Eyes wide open in surprise.

"Akaaari, I am so happy for ya!" Cue Purah practically jumping over to give her a hug. ++

[𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘪 .ᐟ @sheikahoutsider]

it recently. turns out ….. the reason I’ve been so sick is because I’m pregnant.”

her eyes peek up, finding Purah’s face for her reaction. there’s the beginning of a tiny smile forming.

“ … surprise?”

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

Purah crosses her arms, her eyes not drawing away from Akari.

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

Her expression lowers, a look of concern written all over her face.

"... wait, is everything okay? I hope it's nothing serious, right?"

She wanted to kick herself for even mentioning the commission first. She was just too excited to have Akari's work in her home.

++

[𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘪 .ᐟ @sheikahoutsider]

.. seems like word of how sick she’s been is really getting out, now, if it’s reaching Purah’s ears.

“ .. actually … I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.”

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

And it would be nice to have something of yours to just have, y'know? Something you made.

... if you're not busy, of course. I've heard you were sick for a while.

Is everything okay?"

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

"Mhm! A painting of a special spot. I took a picture of it, buuut.... I think a painting from you would be much better, y'know?"

Purah took out her slate, showing one of the towers during the sunset.

"I'll pay ya, of course, I wouldn't ask this for free... ++

[𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘪 .ᐟ @sheikahoutsider]

slight jump. clearly she hadn’t heard her coming … for once.

“a job?”

brow raise, subtle grin. she withdraws her hand from her canvas, peeking over at her.

“depends on what kind it is?”

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

Slooowly peeks over her shoulder—

"Guess whaaaat, Pumpkin~? I have a job for ya if you're interested!"

There's definitely an excited tone to her voice this time around.

[𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘪 .ᐟ @sheikahoutsider]

she’s using her finger to add some depth and shadowing to her canvas; paint staining her hands.

… she’s moving at a slower pace than usual. but, painting helps her feel a little more like herself.

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

@sheikahoutsider she really needs and one of my favorite duos of all time. 💕🫶

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

@sheikahoutsider / / sorry I'm a little late but AAAHH,,, Four years of Akari. I love that gal so much. Thank you for bringing her here and most of all, being Purah's soulmate/best friend. I don't talk about this enough online, but I love their relationship so much. It's something ++

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

/ / AMIRA TIME AAAA

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

/ / SCREAMS /POS

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

... maybe we could also visit the tower, too."

Purah shrugs softly. They were always so busy, barely having the time to plan for themselves.

Sighing ever so slightly, she chuckles again, "For the anniversary, y'know? But if you two have plans already, don't even worry."

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

"Good practice for when ya decide to have your own, eh?" Purah giggles as she nudged her elbow against Akari's arm. Jesting, of course.

Well, mostly. somewhat... maybe not.

"Well, I was hoping Robbo and I could have a little vacation at his old house in Akkala. ++

[𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘪 .ᐟ @sheikahoutsider]

unsure with them, still.

but, she’s kept Suki safe and happy before, so ..

“everyone needs a break every now and then. so if we’re free, we can take her off your hands for a bit.”

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

@sheikahoutsider / / pumpkin and autumn. 😌 🫶

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

/ / calling Akari autumn is so fitting okay

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

we need some sort of little break... could I call you guys up, then? I don't wanna drop her off at your door unprepared and all that."

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

"She still finds ways to draw... moooostly on the walls. We are trying to teach her not to, but she is stubborn like her father."

.... aaand her mother, too.

Purah chuckles as she walks over to take the ingredients to lay them out on the table.

"Maybe next time ++

[𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘪 .ᐟ @sheikahoutsider]

… well. if we’re around, anyway.”

when not in Isla, the two traveled together often. she could never give that up. Akari smiles at her.

“she seemed to have fun drawing with me last time.”

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

/ / aki means autumn I believe, sooo

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

It was Akari's suggestion, after all .ᐟ

[𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘯𝘢𝘱─.ᐟ.ᐟ ☆ @HatenoTechLab]

"Don't sweat it, she calls ya Aki and we sorta just stuck with it." Purah giggles as she took off her own coat, placing it over a chair.

Following after her, she hums, "She doesn't have Salem's name down yet. Maybe it's a sign that she should be here more."

++

[𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘪 .ᐟ @sheikahoutsider]

‘Verna’ but not ‘auntie ‘Kari’ yet, huh? though I guess that’s a mouthful for someone her age .. ”

she laughs. the house did feel more lived in with Salem here. she had a reason to come back to it more often.

“you can bring Suki over to see her anytime, y’know.”
