Mun...?

[NOOOOOOOO]

... Mun!

Calm down. Please. It's likely just coincidence. The resemblance isn't even as clear this time around.

[ 8| ]

Y-Yes, everything else has been... odd, but aren't you making things a little too... [he searches for a word and comes up empty. Instead, he makes a gesture indicating something huge. Making a mountain out of a molehill, mun? Just because three AUs have either had aspects of or been entirely turned into near canon...] Ah...

[ B| ]

... Maybe if we took temporary leave of each other for a bit.

What's she so upset about? It's not like it's some huge, lifechanging, actually-happening thing!

Besides, she's really cute, isn't she?!

[twilightlegend]

[smiles] Maybe it's because so much is happening so quickly?

And she is! I'm happy to see that Marth's not the only one blessed with endearing descendants.

[shiningascent]

You sure have been getting a lot of attention lately, that's for sure! [nod, nod~]

Aw, c'mon, of course you would, too! I could tell that much even before this was a thing, heh.

[twilightlegend]

[he laughs, a little sheepish (for a wolf?), before nodding apologetically. SORRY FOR BEING IN THAT PALUTENA TRAILER LONGER THAN BOTH OF YOU...]

... You could?

[shiningascent]

[We're all part farm animal here, let's face it. STOP... BRINGING THAT UP...]

Well, yeah! Obviously she'd have physically cute on lock, that's not even up for debate-- but I know from experience you'd make a good dad, too! Dad... cousin-brother... family person. So it'd be natural for your daughter to grow up a good person, too!

[legend_of]

[[She looks curious, and slightly amused.]]

My, my.

[twilightlegend]

[he immediately jumps to attention-]

[then he just looks away awkwardly. Aaah, he wasn't expecting the princess to see this outburst... the mun meanwhile just keeps going 'ZELDAAAAAAA' in the background]

[twilightlegend]

[Nintendo; actually composed of farm animals]

... Thanks, Pit. We're assuming a lot though. Maybe she doesn't take after me at all?

[legend_of]

[[Her expression is soft. There's something different about him--he's likely not the same as the Hero of Time. There's a touch of melancholy, as she looks him over with a smile.

Also her mun is uber stoked to see a TP!Link!]]

Is everything alright? You seem to be ill at ease.

[shiningascent]

[yippie kie yay, motherfuckers]

Hey, anytime, Link!

Oh, yeah, that's an important part, too! The whole lady bit. [Headtilt. Perfectly innocent question incoming.] Who d'you think her mom would've been, anyway?

[lbr she'd likely have a sassy streak going on no matter who it ended up being...]

[twilightlegend]

[At least he's kosher TP!Link and not some alternate universe Link that mun has, yeah? Yeah.... /lies down]

[if he notices the melancholy, he doesn't bring attention to it. Instead, he just nods in response]

I'm doing well. The mun, on the other hand...

[begins rolling while on the floor]

... Has seen better days.

[twilightlegend]

.......

I haven't the slightest idea.

[COMPLETELY. HONEST.]

[legend_of]

[[All Links are good Links, unless they're Broken Links.

But anyway, she does seem concerned, bringing a gloved hand to her chin.]]

May I ask what's wrong?

[[Ahh, this may not be the Link she knows, but still, it's rather nice to have the chance to speak with him so casually.]]

1/2

[shiningascent]

[DRAMATIC ANIME FALLDOWN?!]

W-wait, seriously?!

[twilightlegend]

[speaking of broken Links, do you know how hard it is to play Link in a game where a wiki exists? Every broken link goes back to him]

Oh. Just... Strange coincidences. [he winces briefly before going back to... as professional as a farmhand could be in front of the Princess] Most of them involve me. A couple involve a few other people up here.

It's a little embarrassing to talk about.

2/2

[shiningascent]

But-- but you've got to have maybe some idea, don't you? I mean, you know a ton of girls! Like, um... the princess! And that one friend with the horses? And, um... um... the princess!

[Pit's not the best person to talk to about this sort of thing. Obviously.]

[twilightlegend]

[oh MY GODS PIT, ARE YOU SUGGESTING WHAT HE THINKS YOU'RE SUGGESTING ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?!?

Link turns bright red at the suggestion. He's at a complete loss for words, and resorts to just shaking his head and his hands in front of him. No, Pit, no. She was the Crown Princess, he was - at best - a Knight of Hyrule. He couldn't possibly...

...

A-And even if it was with another Princess he knew, the sentiment was the same! Not all of us have the same support system as Fire Emblem Awakening, thank you very much]

[legend_of]

[[Link is the center of all Broken Links. The poor thing ;-;

Her smile widens marginally, almost lighthearted.]]

Far be it for me to pry then, if the hero is so bashful. Say no more of it.

[twilightlegend]

[it was an experience]

[he looks thankful at that. Why? ... There's probably a threshold for how much he's willing to admit his mun's gotten really good at guessing plots and costumes]

... [a false start] ...

[quietly;] How have you been faring here? It's quite different from Hyrule after all.

[legend_of]

[[She tilts her head, silently marveling that this Link is so like the one she is familiar with.]]

Adjusting, as to be expected. It's a marvel, really, the different sort of people you encounter here.

[[Pleasant or unpleasant alike.]]

I am pleasantly surprised to see you, for example.

[shiningascent]

[OH YOUR GODS INDEED, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS GUESSWORK as far as he knows, anyway.]

Whaaaat? Am I that far off? Look, if it's a respect thing I completely understand, but I'll bet you anything that any of them would totally like you back if you just bucked up and asked! Love knows no bounds!

[Spoken like a true champion of Palutena, here. WELP.]

[twilightlegend]

[their experiences inform their attitudes but all the Link are, at their heart, a Hero]

... [he smiles at that, looking a little pleased. The feeling was mutual, really! finding Zelda is a lot harder than one would think it would be]

That's good! [oh, was he being too casual?] Uh... [he holds out a hand for her as a gesture of help. If she needed anything, she could always ask him?

... Even if the two of them were from disparate times]

[twilightlegend]

[ internal screaming intensifies ]

That's not the problem...!

[Pit, put your cupid arrows away, Link is having none of that. B| ]

[shiningascent]

O-oh. It's not? [Should he stop posing dramatically? Fluttering his wings as he just... goes back to standing like a normal person. There we go.]

So what're you all nervous for?

[you cause a game-wide panic ONCE just going to pose his clueless questions some more. 8(]

ONLY SORT OF SORRY

[ohboysmoochingtime]

What? No, buddy, you can't leave! Then I'll have nobody to hide behind help out when the whole AU thing these two have spirals out of control again!
