RE: Back again?

[diedasage]

You'll find that getting rid of me is harder than getting a Gerudo not to steal. I'm here to stay, regardless of how you've tried to hush me. I like that place, anyway. It beats being dead. It's a nice vacation, too. I'm sure they're fine without me.

[Because the timeline is absolutely crazy. And he and Zelda were the ones that made it that way.]

Because I was a kid again for a while. None of the Gerudo recognized me. It's okay though.

[Another smile, bigger this time.]

Where's this place you like?

[diedasage]

[Oh you're... an actual grown up kid, huh? She seems to have questions about her ladies have done in her absence but she stows it. A less than modest smile comes over her and she shifts her hips to the side while folding her arms.]

I think it may not be the best place for you, kid. It's a place that houses a lot of questionable desires.

[timezone]

[He's clueless for about two seconds before he gives her an annoyed look.]

You're talking about sex, aren't you?

[diedasage]

You're so smart, kid. [This is both teasing and condescending.]

[timezone]

[He rolls his eyes, something he learned from his friends on the island.]

I'm not stupid and you don't have to protect me or whatever it is you were trying to do. I am an adult.

[A beat.]

Besides, I'm already in a place like that. So there.

[So very mature.]

[diedasage]

Oh? Are you? [This is very pleasing news somehow. But... only when she thinks about it in terms of herself. Which admittedly is very easy to do.]

What lucky ladies. [There may be a very, very, very slight twinge of jealousy that she's smoothing over with more teasing.]

[timezone]

Yeah...

2/

[timezone]

Being there I mean! Not the lucky ladies... I don't know if any of the ladies think they're lucky or anything. I mean some are... but not because of me or anything. I'm not the greatest at... I mean... I think I'm okay at...

[Not going the way he wanted this to.]

done

[timezone]

[He's just going to stop talking now. About that.]

Zelda's there.

WHOOPS you didn't see that

[diedasage]

[Oh but it is rather pleasing to see him this way. Both hands go to her hips and she smirks rather widely. The mention of Zelda goes way, way unnoticed because she's already had her little piece of jealousy. He doesn't need to see further into that.]

I don't think I've had the honor of seeing The Great Hero of Time flounder around so much.

Of course not

[timezone]

I don't like talking about it, okay? It's... weird sometimes. Especially with you and any of the other sages.

[diedasage]

Alright alright. [She smiles instead of smirking.] We don't have to talk about it. [Which makes her a little sad. She does think you are quite the catch, after all.]

[timezone]

Thank you.

[Talking about sex with Nabooru would just be all kinds of awkward.]

...are you happy where you are?

[diedasage]

I'd be much happier with my thieves but ... [That's impossible. She shakes her head as if clearing her statement.] I'm fine, kid. Don't go worrying about me.

[timezone]

[He grins and gives a laugh.]

I can't help it, even if I wanted to. You're my friend.

[diedasage]

I suppose not. [A playful nudge.]

[timezone]

[He gave her a gentle nudge back.]

I miss the valley. It's really hot and dry, but... it was nice to be there.

[No one questioned his being there once he'd been accepted.]

[diedasage]

Me too, kid. [Oh how does she.]

[timezone]

...you ever been to the ocean?

[diedasage]

Ocean? [By the way she's asking it's obvious this probably means no.]

[timezone]

It's like the desert, but instead of sand it's all salt water. I saw it for the first time in a land called Termina. There were pirates there that were just like the Gerudo. Only they worked out of boats and a fortress set into a cliff that overlooked the sea.

[diedasage]

Are you sure you didn't just miss my girls when you traveled elsewhere? [A light grin. It's weird to think that anyone could come close to the ranks of the Gerudo. Perhaps unacceptable, to some degree.]

[timezone]

Positive. I did miss them, but that's not why they were like that. Termina was... is... it's this mirror world of Hyrule. Almost everyone there looks like someone I know in Hyrule. Only a couple people don't. Aveil was the pirate's leader... she looked exactly like your second in command. The one who gave me the membership card. I never learned her name.

[diedasage]

[An arch of her brow.]

You get to go all over, don't you?

[timezone]

Destiny grabs me and takes where it will.

[He shrugged.]

I don't know that it's always a good thing. But so far it's been alright.

[Well, mostly. The island wasn't always a happy place to be.]
