[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.

No one needs training to hit something. Now if you want to hit it well... that's another thing altogether.

[Says the obvious Sanguis woman sitting here with her red and black horns.]

Well, Zelda, if you want a sparring partner I could probably fit the bill. But I'm not exactly familiar with fighting unarmed...

[And she doesn't exactly want to swing her Keyblade at someone who doesn't know how to fight.]

Maybe some sort of serious exercise? Weight training, sprinting, maybe swimming? The water could cool you down, too.

[She's an islander, she'll work swimming into the solution if she possibly can.]

Perhaps it would be useful for us both to learn?

[The familiar face does help her calm a bit, her pacing slowing.]

I like the idea of swimming. I've yet to really try recreational here, maybe now would be a time to try.

I was taught that anything worth doing is worth doing well...

That's the best attitude to take really. I had sort of started learning swordplay in the last place I was at before here but I'm no teacher unfortunately.

[Sanguis here too. Engineer keeps it video to show his own scales, coming out in haphazard patches on the Texan's arms and collarbone. You're in good company, miss.]

My first time around, all I WANTED was to do hit something. I signed up for that fight ring in Buwan's Stop just about every night. Can't exactly recommend picking fight every day, though.

Point being, I got a punching bag. My cycles've been a long milder since, but so far it's workin'.

That is unfortunate, but at least you can have some opportunity to practice here?

...I wonder if I could have someone teach me. I was more academic back where I am from.

I feel like we should probably get someone who actually knows what they're doing to give us lessons if we go for that.

[Like some sort of martial arts trainer or something.]

Swimming, though, I can absolutely help you with. I did grow up on an island, after all. You want to try out the Crystal Beach?

[The shared condition certainly puts her at ease. She even pauses to give a longer look and to give him more of her attention.]

Has it really helped so much? I was fortunate not to experience too many adverse affects the first few rounds but now...I feel like I can't sit still.

Looks like it. I've already been practicing with my knives to help ease... this.

At least there is an outlet you can use.

A teacher would certainly be necessary. I worry what trouble we might get into otherwise.

[Or what injuries they might cause. She needs to find that knight of hers, he could teach them a thing or two.]

I would be up for most anything. Have you been to this beach already?

Yes ma'am. It gives ya something to hit that's not someone else. Unless you got someone willing to spar, that's a pretty good deal too.

Yeah. Unfortunately everyone I know who knows how to fight tends to fight with weapons, so it might take a bit of searching.

[After all, when you can summon a giant magic key to your hands, why bother learning to throw a punch?]

Every day! I swim a lot, and even when I don't, it's the perfect place for my training.

I don't have enough experience to feel comfortable challenging someone else just yet, even as practice. Perhaps I will give this "punching bag" a try.

That's true. Let me ask you something then -- and maybe this is a little personal so feel free not to be blunt when you answer or anything like that.

What do you think would help you out the most right now? Fighting, exercise, something else?

[This... is not the Zelda that Midna knows. But once again, resemblance is rather uncanny, isn't it?

Midna spends more time staring intently at the girl than she lingers too heavily on the words offered. At least at first.

She's already run into one. It could be coincidence. It could just be a girl who looks similar. The mystery has Midna on the edge of her very proverbial seat. Quite literally.]

Pent up aggression? There are plenty of ways to get that out of you.

[That's probably not very appropriate and for a multitude of reasons, Midna doesn't push past that.] On the other hand, it'd be shame for something so pretty to look burdened. You should try to stay out of trouble.

[It's a little condescending perhaps, but Midna means well. She's simply not good at expressing that.]

Eh. That's what I reckon sparring's for. Even if you ain't on their level exactly, you're training somehow. And for folks like you and me... gets some of that restlessness out.

You never seen a punching bag before?

Sanguis does that to those affected by it: aggression, need to dominate, wanting to fight, wanting to conquer in... other ways.

[ He gets too uncomfortable to spell it out. ]

I've only really seen wolf and snake traits on people for this moon, and recently some dragons! Maybe you're becoming one, too, or a snake?

Sanguis, huh? I feel ya. It sucks.

[He pointed to a large, rather fluffy pair of black canine ears sprouting from his hair.]

What helps for me is chippin' in for a fattier cut of meat and givin' it a sear before eating. I call it Sanguis-style Steak, and it keeps whatever's burnin' in the belly at bay for a little while.

A punching bag helps, too.

Is this what the moon stuff is always like? I've been vibrating for a few days now. I tried to work it all out at the gym but that's not really doing it for me.

So, uh...Solidarity, sister?

Weapon of choice?

If you want to hit something, just go out and do it. As long as it's not a person it's not like anyone will care, right?

I'm not opposed to such personal questions. It's...to be expected here I believe. I honestly am not too sure what would help best. I've never had to work through something like this before.

I'm certain we will manage to find someone eventually. Such a matter of defense seems useful to know regardless of this...frustration.

[If she knew, she'd agree certainly. And also be a bit jealous of that ability.]

I'm rather excited to see it then. What kind of training are you participating in, if I may ask?
