[o6] ‸^‸ Sixth Song.

Characters: [personal profile]Link (Woods) and whoever happens upon them!
Setting: Floor twenty-five aka the Meadow Floor!!
Format: Action.
Summary: Link is training, because it takes their mind off of things, and because there was a lot to digest from that Q&A session, as well as the accidental post later.
Warnings: Flowers and training and also Ocarina playing! Oh, and if this counts as a warning... Link is a girl. She is hiding it, though. So unless your character has x-ray vision and can see her boobs or knows the truth, she will probably not admit it and will be otherwise lowering her voice and continuing to pretend she's a guy. ... Yeah.

[ One, two, three. Sword strokes, training, practicing, making sure that the sword in their hand... was worthy of being there.

When fighting, Link didn't need to think about all the things that bothered them. It was just them, and their blade.

Link had been making arrows, practicing with their bow, and fighting every night they got the chance. The monsters only grew stronger, but their resolve had only increased to not give up.

Eventually, Link moves on from the sword-training, rolling, jumps, and flips, to pulling out the various items and weapons the hero was known for.

The bow was first. Targets that Link had carved, strategically placed all over the floor, sometimes in very difficult spots, were where they were aiming. After not more than a minute to catch their breath, the Hylian began practicing their aim.

One bullseye.

Two misses. They'd gotten rusty due to getting accustomed to only one eye and compensating, so relearning to aim properly with both eyes now would be very important.

Every day, Link would come to this place, traveling the long way. Jogging, usually. They had a routine, it provided structure that the Hero of Time so desperately needed.

Navi was also gone. It wasn't fair, but they wouldn't give up.

Soon, the targets were all full of arrows. Some shined with a brilliant light. Some were on fire and subsequently put out. Some had icy sort of magic on them, freezing the targets solid. However, even Link gets tired, and runs out of arrows, so for now, the hero puts their bow away, sheathes the Master Sword and the Mirror Shield, and simply finds a spot in between the flowers so as not to harm them, resting, hoping to enjoy the peace.

... If you're particularly lucky, you may even come across Link playing their Ocarina later, still on the same floor. ]

[Well, Yosuke does feel a little better hearing that Link was at least angry. Still Link, you don't seem to realize just what's going on here. Let him try to explain]

Alright, you got me there. Anyone with 'King of Evil' in their name was probably a lot rougher on you.

Just... I don't know, man. I think of the worst person I ever knew - a lying, murdering bastard - and even if I saw him, I don't think I could gouge his eye out and call it for the best.

You're really something special to understand that kind of reasoning, Link.

[Highly mistaken identity? Who the hell did she mistake you for, the devil?! Still, Yosuke knows when he's fighting a losing battle, and talking about this is just making him feel a little down anyway. Stupid awesome Link and his ability to forgive getting shot in the eye]

Well, I'll just hope I never get shot in the eye and have to put my forgiveness to the test.

But enough about that anyway. I didn't stop to bother you just to talk about your eye. It's been a while since we've had a chance to just chat! We need to catch up, Mr Hero!

[Dammit, Link! You've got him blushing! That wasn't the plan in the slightest]

Woah, woah! You're way more heroic than me, and that makes you the hero in this room!

[MUST. RECOVER! QUICK, FALSE BRAVADO!]

H-hey, I think I'm plenty awesome! I'm amazing! I'm just not quite as heroic as you.
