[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. ]

...... IDK something heroic maybe like Robin Hood or something? OTHERWISE I DON'T CARE
In their minds, at least.
Thankfully, Link knows how to descend and climb stairs in a very dashing princely manner. ]
... My partner is here. I am not sure if that is for the best, but I was happy to see her. I suppose she's going to worry herself sick while she's here...
[ Navi, how they'd missed her. ]
I WILL FIND YOU AN ANSWER. TO PLURK.
She brightens at his news, genuinely happy for him.] That's great! Better to have her worrying and with you than worrying and not with you, right? Since I'm assuming that's the other option.
What kind of partner is she? [She would be the last person to make assumptions about what 'partner' meant...]
AND IT IS THE BEST ANSWER.
... You are right about that. Navi is... well, I do not think I exaggerate when I say she is one of the most important people in the world--in any world--to me.
[ Link looks thoughtful, for a moment. ]
Fairies are very important to the Kokiri.
She worries a lot, but she is very wise and brave. She knows far more about the land and any enemies we meet than I do. ... I feel as though I had learned to take her presence for granted, considering it was always her who told me friend from foe, and... I admit that she did most of my speaking for me.
[ Of course, Link doesn't stop, but they do sort of have to pause verbally and realize how ironic that is, at the moment. The expression on their face goes from happy to a little bashful. ]
... I do... not normally enjoy talking. I suppose that has changed, somewhat... I did not have her around to do it for me.
EXCELLENT. YES GOOD.
Willow listens intently, always curious to learn more about her friends.] I didn't realize you were talking about a fairy! [She sounds kind of like his Watcher, to be honest, but she knows he won't get the reference so she keeps it to herself.] That's really cool, Link. It's nice to have someone looking out for you.
But I think you do just fine with the talking. [She gives his arm a consoling pat.] I've never had any reason to complain, anyway; and I'm sure Navi doesn't think you take her for granted or anything like that.
no subject
... There was a time I was just not very open in general. I did not get to talk to many people. My job is usually one done alone, so I had minimal help. Navi was the only one who stayed with me.
no subject
Some of my friends showed up recently, too... [A self-conscious smile.] I was going a little wiggy without them, gotta admit.
no subject
It is nice to have them here, isn't it? I am glad to hear that, Willow. Truly.
no subject
Her smile is a lot more honest now as she grins back.] It is, isn't it? But thanks. I knew I was missing them, but I didn't realize exactly how much until they got here. Even if I have a thousand complicated things to tell them, I still... I feel a lot better.
no subject
I have not spent much time here... I can hardly work those 'terminal' machines, so I did not really know what any of these were.
[ Seriously it's confusing, what... is this. ]
You will have to explain, I'm afraid.
no subject
Mostly I just like thinking about someone else's problems for a change. [Willow takes him gently by the sleeve and tugs him lightly over to a couch and TV area, a huge rack of DVDs stacked up alongside it.]
Now we just have to pick one.
no subject
... These will enslave people?
[ WILLOW THAT'S NOT FUNNY...... ]
no subject
[She speaks absentmindedly, facing away from him and perusing the stacks of DVDs.] But they are pretty addictive, in the not-drug-addled way.
no subject
[ Seriously. Link could be sarcastic at times, but it's a little difficult to tell when someone is saying they'll enslave people or are addictive and you don't know the technology.
Also, drug. Another word they don't know. This might be a long night. ]
How do these work, anyway? I am aware they are machines, but... I honestly do not know how they can function without magic.
no subject
It's kind of a long, complicated thing, but I'll try to simplify it, [she says over her shoulder.] Think of it like... really really tiny bolts of lightning, that we've figured out how to use to power things and make them move. Like how water wheels can produce energy, too, just on a different level. Sort of.
[... Yeah, hopefully that made any sense at all.]
no subject
... I have a feeling we may be spending a long time playing catch up on my end.
[ Staring a little transfixed at the TV. How does this thing even... images, man. IT'S LIKE MAGIC only it's not which is sooo weird... ]
Do you do this sort of thing often, Willow?
no subject
[She flops back onto the couch beside him, happily settling into the cushions. Willow has gotten very familiar and comfortable with the media level; it almost reminds her of the Summers' living room. The remote is snatched up, and she navigates through the titles to hit play.]
Oh yeah, I do this all the time. It's totally normal where I'm from-- normal normal, not my crazy Sunnydale life normal.
no subject
Well, I would think one's definition of normal changes depending on their home, too.
no subject
--So this is called Ever After, by the way, and is kinda a sappy romance flick, but I can at least guarantee that it has a happy ending? It's based on a well known fairy tale from my world.
no subject
[ Link won't ask, but the smile there indicates some mild amusement at the thought.
Letting the topic drop, they can't help but wonder what a fairy tale is. ]
By "fairy tale", do you mean stories told by fairies, or...?
no subject
[Something about the mouth of hell and destiny and demons and all that. She suddenly realizes why he'd be interested in fairy tales, and giggles a little.]
Oh, no, we don't have friendly fairies like you do -- or not many, anyway. A fairy tale is an old story that was told to kids to teach them moral lessons; they usually have a grain of truth in them.
no subject
... Oh. That... makes a bit more sense.
[ Link isn't going to talk much more, aren't you supposed to be quiet for stories? At least they have manners. ]
want to skip most of the movie-watching so we don't have to go track down Ever After? XD
The starting titles are just ending, and the real characters are coming on screen.]
Next time I'll remember to bring snacks for us.
YES let's. Do that. Lol.
Don't... mind if they're kind of super entranced because this is really weird to them, okay. ]
haha okay <3
At the end, though, she turns to him, totally earnest.] So what did you think?
countdown to Link being adorable in 3...
... I think it is a very interesting way to tell a story, and the setting reminds me of my home.
[ Also it's really cute and romantic and buu someday Link wants to be someone's Prince Charming but that's... unrelated... ]
