she would become a bit panicked and overwhelmed.
As a warrior as herself, she couldn't let emotions like that overtake her.
".... so... how have you been lately? I'm... still grounded, you know. It's okay, though. More time to train..."
".... I could eat them all by myself." Suki grins, taking a bite out of the cookie.
They were soft — freshly made. perfect.
... Suki had her own ways to deal with what had occurred. She buried it deep down.
deep deep down.
If she were to think of it, ++
she doesn’t know how Suki is dealing with it herself, emotionally. or maybe it’s just from the magic she’s used.
perhaps both.
but Amira can’t shake the feeling for the life of her.
She takes cookies from a secret spot behind one of the drawers in the dresser.
how sneaky.
Returning to the bed, she places one of the cookies on Amira's lap.
"... for now, we stay here and rest. It's safe in here." Suki smiles genuinely.
++
her gaze follows Suki, then wanders around the room. from the fine weaponry, to all of the masks, and the Islean flag that makes her smile.
“ ‘for now’ … ?”
she criss-crosses her legs on the bed, watching.
“what are you up to, Kiki?”
She knew deep down that both of them were always on caution mode. always feeling they had to be on guard.
But here ... here was completely safe. A place to shut down the fight or flight within.
"..... I can take more cookies if you want, too. I have more back there."
++
flag, most likely a memento from the last festival she was at. Normal Yiga masks were hung up on the wall.
Also, some Sheikah and Yiga weapons were on the wall. They looked properly taken care of, too.
Suki smirks back at her. Of course, she was right.
".... I'll show you around the hideout in the meantime. You can say hi to Ren, too. If you want.
He'll be angry with me if he found out you were here and didn't say hello..."
Suki shrugs lightly as she finished ++
the banana. She reached out for an apple afterwards.
"... whenever you want, anyway. for now..."
Suki stood up and walked to a small dresser nearby. With a few hints in the room, it was clear they were in Suki's room...
The walls were decorated with a small Islean ++
"... we would appreciate all the help we can get. I know the Yiga are prideful, but we can't fight against him. We need supplies and food somehow..."
A sigh left her, "... but don't worry. Right now, focus on rest. And we will solve the problems later."
"... maybe dy¡ng was the only way to..." even she hesitates. The thought of her...
It was hard to wrap her head around it.
Or even process it.
Shaking the thoughts away, she takes a bite from the banana.
"..... he drains the life of everything in the desert. ++
like some wasteland... I've noticed that even some monsters are scared of him.
... you'd think they would be on the same side, but they're not."
A pause to take her mask off, placing it beside her again.
++
"... thank you for your help. I appreciate it."
There was a genuine kindness in her voice for them. They bowed one last time and warped away in old Yiga fashion one more.
"... It's not much we have here right now since the Phantom has been ruining everything..."
".... Kage helped me. but they didn't notice him at all."
Turning her head slightly, a familiar silhouette formed against the wall. as if he was saying hello to Amira.
Suki turned her head back at Amira, "Ever since you brought me back... somethings different about me. ++
Amira grins at her. it’s nice, seeing Suki respected.
“so … you bested a molduga all by yourself? .. one of those beasts that hide beneath the sand, yes?”
... my techniques from before are better. But, I'll show you what I mean another day, okay?"
Moving her mask again, the two Yiga guards poof back in the room. Holding out water and a variety of fruits.
... mostly bananas, though.
Suki took one of the bananas, ++
