"You make a good point about the shelves," Zelda said. "Maybe something hanging instead, from the apex of the ceiling, as opposed to being built into the wall. Like a series of basket-shelves hanging by my bedside, for papers and workbooks, and for keeping a weapon handy without keeping it directly under my pillow. I get nervous at the thought of having something stabby-sharp that close to my hand or head when I'm rolling around asleep."
She nodded at the mention of Leop, "I've already spoken with Leop about some of the furniture. I can have the headboard incorporate some shelves. I don't mind the ceiling of my room slanting; I understand that's unavoidable. That's one reason I'm taking the top floor. While the second floor will have a low ceiling, it won't be slanted, and that still gives Link better room to maneuver in if he has to stop a midnight intruder like the Yiga. Again, the second floor puts him between me and the door. I'll deal with a slanted roof."
She pursed her lips in thought as an idea came to her, and took the paper back, flipping it over and picked up the pen she'd brought down, dipping it in the inkwell. "Something occurred to me. Could the outside windows be redone to be miniature balconies like so?"
Zelda drew the windows so that instead of being flush to the roof, they were upright and went all the way to the floor, like French Doors, and opened out away from the roof into the room, to a flat surface surrounded by a small railing that was just big enough for one person to stand on and turn around on. The window didn't extend up past the edge of the roof; she drew sides coming out of the roof to support them two windows she was sketching, a unique but dainty feature looking out over the town, and not anything that would hinder the rainfall, with such a small surface.
