[o4] ‸^‸ Fourth Song.
Characters: AU!OoT Link (
ocariness) and whomever finds her.
Setting: Floor 11 (Daytime). Set immediately after this, which is the day after the events of Hitori Kakurenbo.
Format: Action probably I'm terrible with prose lately?
Summary: Link now thinks that her ancestor hates her. Tired and emotionally past breaking point, she found somewhere (or so she thought) to be alone and sob. She really needs a hug.
Warnings: TOWER OF SADIMUS/ANIMANGST and tl;dr. But uh, other than that? None yet!
[ Everything around her was ripped away in a whirlwind of green light and the wooshing sound of air as Link returned to the warp point she'd set on the meadow floor.
It's hard, but she manages to pick herself up and not break down there, as luckily the warp point was next to the exit, as always. She gets up, numb, expression pained, and begins slowly making her way back to her room. By the time she returns to the meadow floor, she has since fixed her clothing, rebound herself, and gotten a shower.
... There was no evidence the person sitting next to the lakeside is a girl at all. Link had seen to that not being noticed.
She might be hard to spot, wearing a blue tunic instead of her usual green one and not bothering with having her hat on, but you'll spot her sitting on a bank, head pulled to her knees. There's the sounds of quiet sobbing every so often.
She shouldn't be allowed to carry the Master Sword, the name of Link, or anything else. She simply didn't deserve any of it; she had been forced to age and she never wanted it. She'd experienced loss, and the Tower was pushing her past even her limits of bottling things inside.
Something had to give. Perhaps it was her. Perhaps her ancestor deserved this sword more than she. Or the small Hero of Winds. Why was it that he, younger than when she'd started, was not forced to age like she had been? Was she never worthy to begin with? Did they simply "make do" with her? Was she a replacement "Hero"? Link didn't know.
What she did know was that she wished she could go home. Zelda deserved better than her. ]

no subject
So when the other threw herself at him sobbing, he found himself crying as well.
He wraps his arms around her and holds her close, not caring about the fact that she's soaking wet.]
no subject
She really can't find words at the moment. She has never had family, and even then, she has been alone for a very long time. The Hero's job is one that happens alone with occasional aid, after all.
... Eventually she manages to quiet down, though it. Does take a few minutes, oops.
Don't mind her. She's just... really, really emotionally drained.
Too much to speak, just yet. Give her some time, though. She'll probably come around. ]
no subject
She should... really apologize for overreacting, but she also shouldn't ruin this moment, yeah?]
no subject
He had also decided, that from this point on, he was going to protect and take care of the other Link. He would make sure no one else hurt her like he had himself, because she's family and he does not want to see her upset or harmed.]
no subject
Both of you... are soaked. ... Sorry.
[ ... Oh god that is so embarrassing kdfhg supposed to be an adult, but... you know. ]
no subject
Clothes will dry. I am simply glad things have worked out.
[And then, very, very awkwardly, she turns to the older Link.]
... And... I am sorry as well. For overreacting. I was... irrational, and by behavior was unbecoming. My apologies.
no subject
I do not mind getting my clothes wet, they'll dry.
[He then smiles at Zelda.]
It's alright, it's just a bruise.
no subject
A-ah... I'm sure it will heal?
[ Hopefully. ]
... I... I caused you a lot of trouble. Both of you. I apologize.
no subject
[Fixing pauldrons GODDESSES WHY ARE HER CLOTHES SO COMPLICATED.]
Not at all. Do not apologize.
[Yep, throwing your words from earlier back at you, Link.]
no subject
I do not need anything to be made up to me, I am just happy that I was able to make amends with the both of you. I would not want our relationships to change, you are both very dear friends.
[He then smiles at Link.]
Families get in fights sometimes, but they will always make up. Just know that you can trust me with anything and I will always be here for you.
no subject
Sob. ]
...
[ Muted noted. She's... kind of too emotional for words at the moment. Pausing. ]
That... harp, though... it looks like...
[ --It's so familiar. Where has she seen it? ]
no subject
Hm? Harp...?
[She follows Link's gaze, having not noticed any harp while oh-so gracefully taking an unplanned swim, and... what.]
... Where did you get that?
[By the looks of it, she's definitely seen it before.]
no subject
It was given to me in a desperate time by my Zelda. I don't know much about it, only that it is a divine instrument that can be used to open spiritual gates and it was once Goddess Hylia's, long ago.
no subject
Family heirloom, perhaps?
She knows a Sheikah who played a harp just like this quite often, after all. ]
no subject
I... have one just like it.
no subject
...I do not think it is a coincidence that you do.
no subject
From Zelda, to the other Link.
Then back again. ]
... Families that were close, perhaps?
[ SWING AND A MISS. Still, despite the previous atmosphere, Link is upbeat. ]
Perhaps that might mean that our families know one another? Or... knew one another.
no subject
Ahaha, somehow, she doesn't think that's quite it, but like hell is she doing anything that could possibly ruin Link's recovered mood. She gives her an awkward sort of smile.]
Perhaps. To be honest, I was never told where the harp had come from or what it was meant for. Only that it was a precious treasure of the Royal Family.
no subject
no subject
... We should play together. I am sorry, but I do not think you could possibly play better than Zelda does, though.
[ JAM SESSION JAM SESSION ]
no subject
[Ignore the slight bit of pink that's dusting her cheeks at the Hero of Time's comment. It's entirely in your imagination.]
Aha... Surely, you are exaggerating. But, yes, that does sound like a nice idea.
no subject
I do not doubt that she is better then me, I am still fairly new at playing it. But I would not mind playing with the both of you.
no subject
I think you would find she would best you even if you were not.
[ HER LESBIAN CRUSH IS THE BEST HARP PLAYER OF ALL TIME, MMMKAY. ]
But it would be nice. Perhaps the youngest could conduct something for us...
no subject
I am certain he is talented, despite being new to the instrument.
[The Links had to get their musical affinity from somewhere, right?]
I admit I have never been conducted before. That would be an interesting experience, certainly.
no subject
I think that would be very fun.
