... I see no reason for me to speak here, Mundane. "Prince Ganon did" is not a good excuse, either.

[Her voice sounds more tired than cranky, luckily. She's exhausted.]

If you want something to do with me, you have many things to finish untangling, don't you? You aren't even completely sure how my hair is styled, anymore. The finer details of this setting need to be polished.

... Though, if I could request something; it would be nice if you attempted to gather more... positive relations for me. I appreciate the attempt at friendship with Ganondorf, but everyone is well aware how that is going to go.

I think that it is a perfect excuse.

I think I rather like seeing your hair in a braid but that's my personal preference.

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

Ah, Ganon... I almost expected you to say you don't care how my hair looks.

["Because she's beautiful either way", right?]

But I do like the braid as well - combat is much easier with my hair out of the way.

[not_a_gerudo]

[She is! But that's not his reason for preferring the braid...]

But in a braid, your hair has a little pompom at the end. I can tickle you with that. You are ticklish, right?

[She's gotta be. And even if she's not, this'll make her blush, right?]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[... Goddesses, Ganon, your priorities and vocabulary really know no bounds.

She can't even hold back her laughter at that; though she's covering her mouth.]

I wouldn't call it a "pom pom", per se...
But no, I am not ticklish.

... Are you?

[not_a_gerudo]

[He does sneak out of the castle pretty often. Goddesses know what vocabulary he's picked up.]

Of course not!

[Yes. Only a tiny bit though.]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

... My - you denied that so harshly, Prince Ganon!

Almost as though you are hiding something...

[Don't mind if she just... tickles his side a bit. You suuuure you're not ticklish?]

[not_a_gerudo]

[knasdhjkafjbasbnjkhbvgaejhabasb

Jumping away and falling on his backside.]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

O-oh - my apologies, I didn't think it would startle you so badly!

[She's laughing again, but she means no harm by it. Have a hand up, Ganon.]

[zelda_hylia]

A friendship with Ganondorf surely would not end well.

[Don't mind this Zelda, she has NO IDEA.]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[Whoah - sorry, princess, but this Zelda and the Princess she knows do not get along. She's expecting to be attacked by her any day now, even.
So sorry if she tenses up and shies away a bit.]

Ah, no... not at all, in all honesty.

I'm... quite worried what the others will think.

[zelda_hylia]

...is something the matter?

[She's tense, but it doesn't seem as if this Princess Zelda has any intention of attacking her counterpart. Still, she sounds a little condescending when she speaks again.]

Yes, well. It is only natural for you to worry as such. In every other timeline I know of, Ganondorf is our enemy. Still, the one that you know seems... different.

[So different she can't even talk to him anymore. He basically asked for her to call him a nickname! No, Ganondorf, no.]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

... The Prince is entirely different; I... I refuse to think of them as the same person. He can be uppity, and a little harsh - but never cruel, and never cold.

[No, don't even insinuate that her Ganon is anything like Ganondorf. >8(]

But, ah... I did not expect... civil conversation from you, princess. My apologies.

[You'll have to excuse her - she's not a natural talker. Navi normally did that for her.]

[zelda_hylia]

I have no reason to be uncivil with you. Alternate timeline or not, you and I still share many things. I am certain that you can think for yourself. If you believe that Prince...

[Give... give her a moment.]

...Ganon can be trusted, then I do not feel the need to question that.

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

... That isn't entirely why I expected different of you. But thank you.

[Oh - now it's clicking, this princess must be different from the one who threatened her life. Awesome.]

If I didn't trust him, I would not have agreed to marry him, would I?

[Even if it was... meme shenanigans. She still did.]

[zelda_hylia]

I-It could have been coercion of some sort!

[Clearly it was! Something had to've happened there, that's just not normal other Zelda! Look at your life, look at your choices. Ganondorf?!]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[Prince Ganon, thank you! It would be like if you and your Link got married, wouldn't it?]

Oh no - never. Not from Ganon.

Ah... from the Ganondorf you know of, possibly. But never from Ganon.

... He gave me too many reasons to accept, and not enough to refuse.

[She tried at first, but every point he brought up was true. ... She still doesn't quite understand why he wants some girl from the forest as his bride, though.]

[zelda_hylia]

[She unwittingly mirrors her counterpart's expression, quiet confusion and worry evident.]

Such a strange timeline. Still, I suppose if both of you are happy...

[Just... keep him away from her. She can talk to another version of herself, but seeing ANY version of Ganondorf smiling at her like that is too much for her poor mind to bear.]

Then, ah, congratulations.

-- oh, that icon looks so much better than mine... <<

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

...

[Aww. She has to admit, that's kind of sweet. Wishing her well, despite the princess's own feelings about this.]

Thank you, princess.

Feel free to gank it! Or any of mine, really.

[zelda_hylia]

You have no reason to thank me.

[She smiles a small smile at the heroine. It would be nice, to not have the responsibilities that came with being royalty. She certainly wouldn't entrust the job to someone else, but maybe if she had been born that way... then she could smile about marrying someone, too. Even Ganondorf.]

ahaha - I was actually considering it... xD

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

Ah, I have more than you are aware of, I'm sure.

[Hey; just talking to a nice Princess Zelda who isn't watching her like a hawk is good enough for her.]

gankfest go /casually browses heroine!Zelda's icons...

[zelda_hylia]

Is that so? I suppose I should thank you, as well... for looking out for our land, even in a time so different from my own.

[It's almost comforting in a way to know that no matter what her role is, she's watching after Hyrule.]

aaww yeeee -- /ganks what crownless icons are there...

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

That is one thing you don't need to thank me for, princess. Even if I were not the Hero of Time, I would still do my best to protect our home.

[zelda_hylia]

I am glad to hear that. Oh, and... do not worry overly much about the change in station upon your marriage. You will make a fine queen.

[Is she looking a little sly, there? Yes, she is. Run while you can, heroine.]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

... I... would hope so.

[What's with that look...]

*runs to bed like she should* I have been trying to bed for the past two hours, orz

[zelda_hylia]

[What look? She's just smiling. Completely innocent over here!]

Go go! I'll be here all day after all XD

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[... Riiiight.]

Well, ah... I don't have to worry about it too much, at the very least. Ganon informed me that the advisers would willingly help me with what I don't understand...

[Please let them help her, she doesn't even understand how the world works yet.]

Have an AU Link that is probably more familiar to her.

[conqueredcourage]

((OOC: LONG STORY SHORT this is actually Dark Link possessing Link's corpse from a failed run of OOT.))

[He's got an almost fond smile on his face. It would be friendly, inviting even if it weren't for the definite sneer hiding just behind his eyes, and his tense stance betraying his wariness.]

So I've heard you're not too keen on us boys in green, hmm?

oooooh boy XD

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[Don't mind her, she's just visibly tensing up. But the Princess she knows told her that not all Links are evil...]

... Well, the one I am familiar with does not wear green.
But I suppose you could say that, yes.

aslghj I thought I replied to this earlier, sorry.

[conqueredcourage]

[That tension is like a warm greeting to him. She's treating him much closer to the way she should. The way the Zelda he knows treats him. This is much closer to home.]

Tell me what he's like. Your Link that is. What's he done to you to elicit such apprehension?

don't worry about it! c:

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

He has done what I assume your Ganondorf has done. I'm sure that requires little explanation, as well.

[Of course - her Link is also a womanizing, smug little asshole who told her to quit fighting and join his rank of slaves - but she thinks that the Evil Ganons must be like that too.]

[conqueredcourage]

[He prowls a little closer. He doesn't have much height to try and loom over her, but he makes up for it with a straight back, broad shoulders, and a malicious air about himself.]

Have you been able to stand against him face to face? Look him in the eye as you try to deprive him of life?

[His Zelda has made many attempts on his life, but never once has she been able to do it directly. Poison, traps, arrows, magic, but never once an honest blade. She either can't bear to strike down one wearing Link's image, or won't grant him the courtesy of a direct confrontation.]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

Not yet. But I am on my way to it.

[... This Link... She can't help narrowing her eyes a little, watching him warily.

The way he holds himself, the way he speaks... not as fondly as the Link she knows, but just as filled with the desire for harm.]

[conqueredcourage]

That's interesting. I have no doubt that my Zelda thinks the same way. Although I suppose you might not have the same...hesitations that she has. Maybe you'll actually live up to that goal one day.

[The air of skepticism and clear doubt is heavy in his voice, and his smirk underlines just how unlikely he thinks that outcome is.]
