Characters: Link and Fi
Setting: Exploring the depths of the tower
Format: I'm writing prose but don't mind other formats~
Summary: Despite Fi's words, Link goes in search of his Zelda within the tower.
Warnings: I calculate the chance of death in this thread to be 95%. nm nm chances for Link entering the Bucket Soccer World Cup is low but the chances of him sulking around the Tower being sulky have risen astronomically.

Link emerged from room 3-16 in his Knight Academy uniform, the Master Sword strapped to his back, Adventure Pouch strung around his waist, and the Sacred Bow in hand. He found carrying the bow to be...cumbersome, but it was a far better ranged weapon than his Scattershot.

He looked to Fi once he stepped out of his room, a nervous grin on his face. "It's gonna be weird having you out like this all the time," he said, amused. "Not that I mind."

"--are you positive Zelda's not on this floor? She could've gotten lost here. Easily."

People are certainly free to tell Link exactly what Fi's told him, but that doesn't mean he'll listen. He's sailing merrily down the river of denial.

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

"I am certain, Master Link. Her Grace is a very intelligent young woman, she would not have allowed herself to become to easily lost."

That river has to end eventually. Maybe in a crashing waterfall of reality?

[sky_child]

"But--"

She's right. Zelda managed to survive being on the surface by herself, for the most part. Sure, she had Impa to help her, but Zelda... She was training to be a knight, too.

"--what's the next floor like?"

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

"The next floor down will be slightly more taxing, Master. The steps will fall and there will be large gaps that must be leapt over. I recommend haste when passing through to the set of stairs following."

Oh yes, Fi knew quite well of Zelda's capbilities. And the fact that she was Hylia reborn only added to that, knowing how well her creator handled a sword.

[sky_child]

"Okay." He'll ask about the floor after that once they get there.

As expected, he's as spry and athletic as ever overcoming the obstacles of the thirty-sixth floor.

Once they're on the next floor, he stops. So this is what it looks like outside...?

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

Fi is surprisingly athletic as well, for a spirit that he's only ever seen dance about the air and on top of water. She continued walking after that, still incapable of returning to her usual floating and looked around at the floor and the floating island and lake.

"Impressive, is it not, Master Link?"

[sky_child]

...

"..."

That would translate roughly into 'Fi why are you on the ground what how what what what what and also nani?!'

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

Fi tilts her head slightly, not quite understanding yet. She wasn't quite telepathic when it came to Master Link, as she was with Scrapper.

"Is everything alright, Master?"

[sky_child]

"You're on the ground..."

Even if she could be telepathic with Master Link...

...would she want to be?

(On the other hand, it could be useful, albeit depressing, knowing what's not going on in that vast empty space inside of his skull.)

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

She... probably wouldn't want to be, no. Her thought processes were complicated enough, in design.

"I am, yes, Master. There are certain floors here in the tower that render me incapable of flight. It was disorienting in the beginning but I have grown used to it."

[sky_child]

Well, then, he's just gonna... ... ...yeah.

"...what's at the bottom of that lake?"

[ur_batteries_are_dying]

"I do not know. I am incapable of scanning it." Or anything on this floor. She's not going to say that though. Omitting truths, hell yeah!
