towerofanimus | [o2] ‸^‸ Second Song.

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? ]

[Well this is late, but uh... okay, so the vast majority of the music he's been exposed to has been... war music. Drums and pipes, stuff to get the blood boiling. The kind of sound that makes it seem okay to die. So this weird, whimsical thing echoing up the stairs makes him stop what he's doing and go find out what it could be...]

[So yeah, once he finds her he's definitely got to bother her, giving her a bit of distance as he moves around her and settles into the grass across the way. Goodness, he's staring... really intently... watching the movement of her fingers like this is something quite remarkable]

[ Link might be what you call very much "into" her playing. She vaguely registers Summoner as movement out of the corner of her eyes, though truthfully, she could probably play with them shut by now. It was all muscle memory, after all. But the music produced from this Ocarina was special, as the instrument itself was the only one of its kind--maybe in her entire world.

The song itself has a kind of upbeat, happy feeling to it. There's a sort of underlying magic to the notes, but only to those who can feel it.

When she's finished, which is a few minutes later, she looks over to her company and offers a smile, silent. She... may be waiting a bit to see what he has to say, because she really hopes she wasn't annoying anyone. ]

[It's pretty obvious she wasn't annoying him! He's just kinda smiling at her even after she stops. It's a... sort of confused smile though, like he's not sure what to make of what just happened there. Taps his fingers against his knee and... hums a couple notes out of it, letting his attention drift, but... HE IS UTTERLY TONEDEAF so it may not actually be obvious that's he's doing lksd]

[He gives up trying to hum it pretty quickly because of this and focuses on her again, leaning forward a little]

What was that...?

[ Nope! Link is far from tone deaf, herself, BUT she can tell when someone likes a song. ]

The song? It's called "Saria's Song," because my friend Saria wrote it. The instrument is an Ocarina.

[ Also, she really likes your wings, Summoner. They're very fairy-like. ]

[Well then are fluttering a little in response. He is... quite pleased that he heard this thing, even if was only momentary]

It was... very pretty. Can you play anything uh, like it...?

Hm... yes, I think so.

[ Just because you asked so nicely, she totally will, too. The song she plays sounds something like this ~~because the mun is too lazy to go record herself playing it~~. ]

[Closes his eyes this time, just to listen. This is a terrible idea! And would normally get him a kick in the head from someone trying to prove a point about keeping his guard up. But it's just... terribly pretty and terribly new and gosh what should he do with all these feelings!!!!]

[When she finishes, he keeps his eyes still closed, just... thinking for a moment]

Where did you learn to play?

[ Aww, Summoner. It's okay, because she is far too heroic for that. Hero Code and all: never attack unless someone attacks you first. ]

In the forests I grew up in. It was commonplace for everyone to make their own instruments and learn to play them. I suppose you might say that it's... just habit.

[ She really loves her Ocarinas; both are dear to her. ]

[Wow that... sounds like a really nice way to live. Opens his eyes finally and... considers her for a moment. All these humans with all their free time on their own worlds. He doesn't even know how to deal with them...]

You all must have been uh... very good, once you all grew up.

[ Funny enough, Link is not human at all! Well, not technically. It depends on a given definition. She'd be classified as technically Hylian and then Kokiri by adoption.

Speaking of which, due to the fact Kokiri never age, it takes her a moment to register what he means. ]

Oh... my people don't age, really. They stay young. Time isn't... much of a concept to us, to be honest.

[ She's just Special. ]

[............wait what. Eyes widen a little. High... bloods???? That is the only instance of Not Really Aging he's ever come across so... welp]

You uh... look pretty grown up...
