Are you truly slumbering?

[ever_somnolent]

......?

[younghero]

...

You might want to find a better napping spot.

[Seriously. Take it from Link.]

[ever_somnolent]

...why?

[younghero]

You'll get eaten by monsters. You should find a place to hide if you're going to sleep.

[ever_somnolent]

[Slow-blink.]

...there are monsters here?

[younghero]

[Link was a little surprised]

There's usually monsters.

[Now he was worried for the other. Link liked a good nap as much as the next kid, but,]

Are you ok?

[ever_somnolent]

......

[So far he hadn't noticed any monsters. Maybe he's just lucked out. Les tilts his head, then nods.]

Mn. I'm fine...

[younghero]

Oh. Ok, good.

[Link might be ever-so-slightly hyper vigilant.]

Are you just really tired? Not sick?

[ever_somnolent]

...s is normal...

[younghero]

[Link puzzled over that for a moment.]

You just fall asleep a lot?

[If the other boy wasn't worried, Link let some of his own worry go.]

[ever_somnolent]

[Les nods.]

[younghero]

...that's got to be rough.

[Link was pretty sure he'd be dead if that happened to him, Triforce of Courage or no.]

[ever_somnolent]

...it is how it is.

[younghero]

[Well now, that wasn't going to sit with this boy.]

Are you sure you don't need help?

[Sure, he was ten. That wasn't going to stop him from helping someone who needed it.]

[ever_somnolent]

[He shakes his head.]

There are others with more troublesome things to deal with...

[younghero]

[Link took solace in the fact that he at least wasn't being discounted for his age.]

Mm. Okay, there's lots of troubles in the world. But, that doesn't mean your trouble isn't important.

[ever_somnolent]

[Les never discounts anyone for their age. Age has nothing to do with good advice. ]

...I don't think it's really any trouble.

[younghero]

[Hm. Link still wasn't totally convinced.]

Do you at least have a weapon on you in case things happen?

[An armed society was a safe society, in Link's eyes.]

[ever_somnolent]

[Blinking slowly, the boy nods before slipping out a pistol from under the flap of his coat.]

....like this..?

[younghero]

[The Hylian's left ear twitched. He had no idea what that thing was. Hyrule wasn't quite up to the modern age in most ways.]

Uh.

What is it?

[ever_somnolent]

...a weapon. It's a gun.

[He tilts his head at Link again.]

You...haven't seen one before?

[younghero]

[Link shook his head.]

No.

[He tapped the scabbard on his back.]

We've got bows and arrows, swords...things like that.

[ever_somnolent]

[Les hums thoughtfully at that before nodding slowly.]

...this....like a bow and arrow...only automatic. ...smaller projectiles.

Pick a target..?

[younghero]

[Link tilted his head. Smaller? Like a slingshot? That wasn't really all that useful, not against stronger creatures.

Still, he nodded at a stump, where a dead tree had snapped in half during some distant storm.]
