I guess not but if you two tried, instead'a insisting that you're just friends... You were always happier when Link was with you. I want you to be that happy again.

[sageprincess]

Let us say we tried and it did not work out the way you want it to. Our friendship would be made awkward by the attempt, and that would not make me very happy, since I value Link's friendship so much.

It is... safer this way.

But life isn't safe and neither is this tower. Why not be happy with him? That way you two can help each other, be stronger together. And.. you know.. We could be like a family.

[That thing Tetra never really had. Her crew doesn't count.]

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

No, that is not--

[... Ow. She is forced to look away from the screen.]

We are happy. We are strong, just as we are. And who is to say we cannot be a family as we are as well? Adding romance also adds uncertainty, which... neither of us are very fond of.

[Zelda plz]

We'll be stronger though. [le pout] Isn't that what love is though?

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

[Tetra plz]

I-- I suppose... By some poets' definition, yes, though I would not know personally-- [Getting flustered and rambling, aah.] The fact remains that such feelings do not exist between us.

[Is there a reason this is flustering you, Zelda? IS THERE?]

Don't they? [Suspicious.]

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

[Maybe because for all her wisdom, love is one subject she is vastly uneducated in?]

They do not. [8|]

[video/private]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Let blissful childish ignorance enlighten you then, Zelda.

Enjoy this seemingly pointless subject change.]

What would you do for me then?

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

[Suspicious, but rolling with it.]

In what circumstance?

Re: [video/private]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Any kind. Maybe I'm sad and crying, or I tripped and hurt myself. Or I'm in danger. You know, general things.

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

I would comfort you as best as I were able if you needed comfort, and I would protect you to the utmost of my ability if you needed protection.

What is your ploy, here?

[video/private]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Because I know you'd do the same for Link. And I know that you love me. So you must love him which means it would be okay.

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

... Ah.

[She smirks, knowingly.]

Those are two different types of love, Tetra. I love you as I would love my family. I love Link as I would love a dear friend.

Besides, by that logic, I would want to date you, and I do not believe that was your intention.

[video/private]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Dammit! Cheating.]

... Crap. And I thought that was pretty good...

Oh! But that would mean you treat Link the same as family.

[So make Link family.]

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

[Don't hate the player, hate the game.]

Hm, I suppose, yes. But you can treat friends like family without wanting to court them.

[video/private]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

... I'm not gonna win am I?

[Zelda has LOTS of years on her, after all. More time to become witty than Tetra has had.]

[video/private]

[sageprincess]

Probably not this time.

[Learn, young padawan princess, and you shall grow.]

[video/private]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Hope for the future.

[She'll find a way to win one of these days! You have not heard the last of the Zelda/Link ship in this tower.

At least she has the wisdom to quit before she loses too badly.]
