Treated Better (Normal Version)

Ghirahim: *Yawn* What's this, a note?

...

Mizuki: Hey Kamila, hey Lucia! Can I commission something from you guys?

Lucia: Sure! What do you want?

Mizuki: Can you make this with extra strong fabric?

Mizuki handed Lucia a sketch of Ghirahim's cape, measurements and colors included.

Kamila: You want us to make Ghirahim another cape?

Mizuki: Mhm, his is a bit tattered and it still has double stitch. I've been a pain in his ass recently, I thought it would be nice to get him something.

Lucia: Your kind heart is why you get used.

Mizuki: I know, but I'll kick his ass if he tries something like that again.

Kamila: Alright Hun, but we aren't doing it for free.

Lucia: We have a ton of commissions.

Mizuki: Don't worry, I didn't expect you to do it for free. Here, anything extra you can keep.

Mizuki handed them a large bag of Rupees.

Mizuki: How long do you think it'll be until it's done?

Lucia: A couple days maybe, we have ten commissions but we can do yours sooner than most.

Kamila: All our fabrics are stuck near Zora's Domain though. The sludge slowed the delivery.

Mizuki: I can handle that, don't you worry.

Lucia: Hey Mizuki, you should use the new cape as a way to tell him you're ready!

Kamila: You're nuts for jumping back into a relationship with that guy.

Mizuki: I'm not jumping into it! We've been adventuring together for the past month and there hasn't been any-

Lucia: Chill out Mizuki, it's fine. We'll get the cape started for you once we get those fabrics.

Mizuki: Thank you, tell everyone I said hi.

Kamila: Will do.

Mizuki teleported to Tajikats shrine and made her way back over to where she and Ghirahim were camping.

Ghirahim: Where were you?! I was worried sick!

Mizuki: I went back to remove my name from the commission board. The last commission I'm doing is going to Zora's Domain and clearing sludge from a path. Are you coming with?

Ghirahim: Yes, now let's go.

...

Mizuki: Ugh, finally... That was more sludge than I thought. I'm outta Splash Fruit.

Ghirahim: I was using the Opal Wand.

Mizuki: The wand definitely made things easier, I'm glad we kept it. Can we go collect some more Splash Fruit?

Ghirahim: Sure, we can hunt down some Bubbul Frogs too if you'd like.

Mizuki: Oh Bubbul Frogs! I need them for Koltin!

Ghirahim: Forty-six in total correct?

Mizuki: Yep... Forty-six... I only have eighteen, even after months...

...

Mizuki: Upland Zorana has a pretty nice view, but I prefer the sky islands. Being up above the clouds is beautiful.

Ghirahim: You would've loved Skyloft.

Mizuki: I remember some of it... I bet it looks much better outside of war... I remember talking with Fi about it at one point... She told me about the Loftwings, do you know anything about those.

Ghirahim: The birds gifted by the goddess? They haven't been seen for thousands of years. Ever since people began living on the surface the Loftwings began disappearing, or so it seems.

Mizuki: That sucks, I wanted to ride one at least once...

Ghirahim: I think you would've been more interested in Remlits and Kikwis. Kikwis seemed to have disappeared as well, but Remlits are still around.

Mizuki: They are?! We should find one!

Ghirahim: They are extremely rare, but if you are determined...

Mizuki: I wanna see a Remlit! What were they like?

Ghirahim: They become quite violent at night but are cuddly in the light of day. They are cat-like creatures with large round ears.

Mizuki: Oh my goodness, that sounds adorable. Can the night violence be tamed?

Ghirahim: Yes, it just takes a lot of training.

Mizuki: If we find one can we keep it?!

Ghirahim: Why are you asking me? It's not like I live with you.

Mizuki: Yeah, but you'd have to get used to it when you come to pick me up.

Ghirahim: If it gets on my nerves enough I'll just throw it out.

Mizuki: Don't start that, I had enough of my dad threatening to throw out my pets.

Ghirahim: Your dad? That's not someone you mention often.

Mizuki: We didn't have the best relationship... He only really started caring after Mom took me away... Kinda like how you only started caring after I left.

Ghirahim: Seems like a lot of guys in your life don't treat you well.

Mizuki: Yeah, but one of them is improving, and the other ones I cut contact with.

Ghirahim: Thank you for trusting me Doll.

...

Ghirahim: We've got more Splash Fruit, shouldn't we go back and get your payment?

Mizuki: No, the payment was making my commission their priority.

Ghirahim: You commissioned someone to make you something?

Mizuki: Yep. I wanted it to be high quality, so I commissioned it instead of making it myself.

Ghirahim: You have to have the highest quality stuff huh?

Mizuki: Of course, it's not for me. If I buy someone a gift it needs to be high quality.

Mizuki grabbed Ghirahim's hand and smiled.

Mizuki: Let's go Ghira, I wanna go to Lookout Landing and see if I can upgrade the Purah Pad.

They teleported to Lookout Landing and talked to Purah.

Purah: Hi there Zuki and friend! What do you need?

Mizuki: How much does it cost for another Purah Pad? And do you have any updates?

Purah: We do indeed have an update, and it cost 50,000 Rupees for a new Purah Pad.

Ghirahim: 50,000?!

Mizuki: Here, 50,000. How much for the upgrade?

Purah: That can be free since you are a friend.

Mizuki: Thank you Purah!

Ghirahim: You paid 50,000 for a Purah Pad?! Why do you need another?

Mizuki: It's for you dummy.

Purah: Here you go, a brand new Purah Pad. Here's your upgraded one too. By the way, if you want to talk to Robbie he's in the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.

Mizuki: Thanks Purah, I was wondering where he was.

Ghirahim: That's our next destination then?

Mizuki: Yep, it'll free up my schedule.
