Winter months were always dreary, especially if it meant being stuck inside to get away from the cold. Sure, some might not mind it, but others did. Luckily, there was someone around. Someone who had made it her mission to get people to smile and be happy.

That someone was Princess Peach.

Maybe you'd come for a snack, maybe you just wanted a quiet place to eat and read. Regardless, when you entered the dining hall, Peach was there, decked out in her finest, and she'd commandeered the space. There was pink everywhere. Ribbons, tablecloths, curtains, you name it. She was brewing pots of tea in elegant china, and she had plenty of blends to choose from. Plates were filled with cookies and cakes, that she'd spent hours baking herself. "Welcome!" she would greet people with a smile. "Please, come and have a seat! The party's just starting!"

Peach giggled. "I suppose that's the subtlety a good ruler has to live in," she reminded him. "One day you'll understand that."

"Oh, I have several herbal blends I like, but sometimes there's nothing quite like some chamomile to calm the nerves!"

Cyrus understood it very well, in his own way.
"Do you find your nerves need calming often?" It was clear that it tied into his previous subject.

"Not AS much here," Peach replied. "It's almost like being on an extended vacation around here... It's quite a new experience!"

[will_be_god]

"Vacation...?" That was puzzling. "Having been ripped from our world, to this strange, abandoned place...and you view it in that light..."

[royalmushroom]

"I don't see much other choice," Peach explained. "I worry about home so much, but... there's nothing I can do to get back to them. At least not yet. I don't know much about interdimensional travel, science, technology... So all I can do is try to keep everyone's spirits up."

"Do you believe that that world still exists?"

He let the question hang in the air. He understood all those things and his conclusions had been dire. But then his conclusions were normally dire.

[royalmushroom]

"Of course I do," Peach responded without missing a beat. "And I'll go on believing that until anyone proves to me otherwise. And as long as they exist, I'll fight for them!"

[will_be_god]

He had seen a world of nothingness. Twice before he had been enveloped in what end of all things must feel like. And he felt it again when between the two worlds.

"...And if there is no where to return to?"

Her positivity was strange. Was it genuine or a mask?

[royalmushroom]

Peach shook her head. "If that should happen... then I will deal with that when the time comes," she said. She didn't want to acknowledge that particular possibility... The thought was too hard for her to consider. She was an optimist through and through. There was always hope.
