[o2] ‸^‸ Second Song.

[ocariness]

Characters: ocariness and whoever happens across "him".
Setting: The Eleventh floor, near the stairs.
Format: Either, but actionspam works best for me. <3
Summary: After what's happened in those nightmare worlds and seeing the damage, Link just wants some peace and quiet, which she finds in the form of playing her Ocarina.
Warnings: None yet!

[ If you were a resident of the Tower, chances were you heard a melody coming from the upper floors. Due to the nature of the instrument, the sound carries quite well, and if you stop in the stairwells, you may even hear the fleeting whispers of it.

Following the source of the music will lead you to the Eleventh floor. During the daylight hours with plenty of time to spare, of course; Link would never play in a dangerous environment.

Snatches of other songs can be heard as well, though this is the one Link is playing if you should choose to investigate. It's nothing out of the ordinary: the Hylian is merely sitting near the stairs in the grass, playing.

This was as close as she could get to home; this music reminded her of the strange song that filled the Lost Woods adjacent to her home.

Will you bother the hero? ]

Comments

[guiltapalooza]

No, no, [she rushes to reassure him,] I was appreciating! Not disturbed, just, happy to hear it.

You play really well. I don't think I recognize that instrument.

[ocariness]

Oh... thank you.

[ Oh thank goodness, bothering people is the last thing she'd want to do. But she'll definitely seize the subject given, at least it's something she can explain well without feeling too awkward. ]

It's an Ocarina.

[guiltapalooza]

Ocarina, check. New word acquired.

[Hopefully her irrepressibly friendly demeanor will help him feel less awkward?] What song was that, that you were playing? It was so happy, and... spicy.

[ocariness]

[ Well, music is something Link is a bit more comfortable with. ]

A friend of mine wrote that song. She based it on the melody that comes from our home, actually.

[ Yeah, her woods have a song to them. ]

[guiltapalooza]

[That is far, far from the weirdest thing Willow has ever heard. She doesn't even bat an eyelash.]

That's sweet. It must be nice to have something to remember her by like that.

[ocariness]

[ Then they will CLEARLY get along just fine. Weirdness buddies! Link offers a nod.

Don't mind the shyness, she's just very... quiet, usually. You kind of have to ask sometimes to get a reply. ]

[guiltapalooza]

[Willow is just a chatty Cathy and has no hesitation whatsoever about carrying the conversation.]

Do you know any other songs? I mean-- if I'm not bothering you. Feel free to tell me to shove off.

[ocariness]

[ Her bff is like that (she just happens to be a fairy), so she is okay with the chattiness. ]

You're not.

[ She really doesn't mind. ]

... Is there anything in particular you like to hear?

[guiltapalooza]

Something... not sad? Not sad would be nice.

[ocariness]

[ What an odd way to put it. Hmmm. She doesn't really think sad songs would help, anyway, so... she'll play one of the songs she learned from a friend, which sounds something like this.

... Playing this really reminds Link that she does miss her horse, a whole lot, because she loved this song quite a bit. ]

[guiltapalooza]

[Oh this is so quaint and country-ish. Willow is an avowed resident of suburbia, but this sounds... nice. There really is an element of nostalgia to it, too.

By the time the song is finished, she has a soft smile.] ... That was beautiful. You really put a lot of feeling into it, huh?
