He's more annoyed with the choice of canon point than having been forgotten for a while. Go figure.

[shortpants_knight]

I can hope that forgetting about me for a while might have solved your issues about my way of speaking, since canon doesn't actually give me any dialogue to work from. Though the dialogue options in some interactions might be a good starting point. So might a canon review.

This canon point... I've mentioned my issues with this point before, when you decided to use it for a musebox. I don't like it any more now than I did then. On top of that, I'm not going to be able to find Zelda in either of these places.

/tackle!

[reincarnation]

Link!

[ That is the only warning you get before this happens. ]

Re: /tackle!

[shortpants_knight]

[In this case, he does not mind the lack of warning. At least she's not pushing him off a high place?]

Zelda!

[reincarnation]

[ But pushing someone off of high places is how one shows affection, right? The knight in short pants is tackled to the ground as her arms wrap securely about his neck, as if fearful that he will suddenly dissipate from her grasp. ]

What was that about not finding me?

[ The reincarnate sticks her tongue out, hovering just above him. ]

Where is your mun taking you from, anyway?

[shortpants_knight]

[It works when a safe landing is certain. Granted... that one time, neither of them had known his Loftwing had gone missing until that point. He's returning that hug with the same sentiment.]

It hasn't been easy to find you here. But I meant at the games my Mundane is looking at.

[How very mature. He loves her anyway, though.]

A crash landing at the volcano. And having had all of my equipment stolen.

[It is stolen or kidnapped in the case of a sentient sword?]

[reincarnation]

[ Zelda buries her face in the crook of his neck, silent for a moment -- thinking -- before allowing a soft smile to steal across her lips as she shakes her head slowly. There is no sign of her relenting her hold, harp laying forgotten nearby. ]

Even if we get separated again, I know you'll find me.

Everything will be okay, because I know you can overcome it.

[ Hm. Can charges be pressed for said sword?

Her tone is a little softer when she speaks again, her blue eyes still hidden as she nuzzles against him, relieved to see her childhood friend safe. ]

You're the hero, after all.

[shortpants_knight]

[He isn't expecting her to let go any time soon. He doesn't want to let go either. Her faith in him is comforting, in a way.]

I'll do whatever it takes.

[Good question.

That relief is mutual. He smiles a little at that last comment.]

A hero isn't a hero without someone to protect.

Sorry, computer problems!

[reincarnation]

[ A bright smile steals across her lips as she chuckles against the familiar green cloth, unwavering for even a moment. This is Link -- her childhood friend, her secret keeper, and her hero. How could she ever doubt him? ]

Then I bestow all of the blessings of the goddess upon you.

So long as you're careful. Some of these places are dangerous, and I don't want you hurt. There are a thousand dangerous fae where my mun decided to put me.

[ Quickly, as not to be rejected, Zelda lifts her head to press her lips quickly against the hero's cheek, her own flushed when she speaks again. ]

But if you are, then I'll have to patch you up when we meet again.

No problem =D

[shortpants_knight]

[Maybe he is being a little hard on himself when he wonders if he deserves that faith, but at the same time, he'd rather not get complacent.]

I suppose you could say that the places I might end up have... normal dangers? There are monsters, but so far none of them are any more dangerous than anything I've seen so far.

[It unsettles him a little bit to hear how dangerous a place her mun has put her in, but any comment he was going to make on it is lost when she kisses him. She's not the only blushing afterward, even if it was only a peck on the cheek.

He's not entirely surprised that she's more worried about him and he wouldn't be surprised if it occurred to her that he's more worried about her.]

I'll be careful.

[reflectionofsin]

What's the matter, boy? Can't go anywhere without someone to hold your leash?

[shortpants_knight]

[Link has spent enough time in his mun's headspace to know about some of the things his successors have to deal with, including dark versions of themselves.

He's not intimidated, though. If any thing, he pities you.]

Don't you have someone or something you care about enough to fight for?

[He sort of doubts that the answer is an affirmative.]

[reflectionofsin]

'Course I do. You're looking at him.

[Pity is wasted on the arrogant.]

[shortpants_knight]

I see.

[How does one go about expressing what it's like to care about someone besides oneself? To love? Link isn't quite sure. He knows the feeling, can recognize it instantly, but for the life of him he can't wrap his head around a description. Well, not a description that doesn't sound cheesy or mushy or overly dramatic, anyway.

Arrogance is pitiable in its own way.]
