This is Alhaitham.
I have a survey for people to respond to. Those who have filled up my previous survey from last year may consider this as a follow up of sorts to it—those who have not are free to respond to this one all the same. Regardless, there are similarly no restrictions or stipulations to the nature of the responder; the only thing that I request is for honesty when filling this in.
1) Are you currently in any sort of romantic relationship? (Arrangements made purely for physical reasons do not count.)
2) Does an institution of marriage exist in the world that you come from? Does it play any sort of significant cultural role? Feel free to describe as much or as little as you want.
3) Do you consider the idea of marriage important? What is the primary endgoal in any romantic relationship that you pursue?
4) What do you envision as your ideal future with a partner?
5) What does the concept of 'home' mean to you?
You are free to leave your answers in this post or direct them to my inbox. I will follow up on whatever answers that I feel are necessary.
Thank you for your time.

But the reality is almost entirely the opposite. He's actually stunned her into silence with his words.
Zelda... has never considered her future royal marriage from this angle. Choosing a person who compliments her? Someone who understands her, who sees past her duty and title to the real 'Zelda' underneath? Someone who will share her burdens and bring out the best in here?
There are two people who come to mind when she reads Alhaitham's words. Both have been 'home' to the princess. Neither has the training to stand by her side as her consort. But both see past the Princess of Hyrule to the woman who is really 'Zelda.'
And one she has fallen deeply in love with.
Alhaitham is right. Skills can be taught. Knowledge can be learned. But character? A person's heart is not easily changed. The qualities that make a good leader-- courage, patience, selflessness, empathy-- they are not easily taught. ]
