But...

[He pauses then, lowering his bow.]

He's too bad to let wander around this place; it's already horrible enough as it is!

[sageprincess]

[She kneels, bringing herself to his eye level. This is serious, okay.]

I know. I know it is, but please, listen to me. This man, Ghirahim... he is very powerful - my magic barely did anything to him when I encountered him, and he... he hurt one of the other Links very badly.

[That's all she'll say about that.]

I know you are very strong and brave, but, please, I do not wish to see you harmed in such a way.

[cantstopme]

...

[He scuffs his foot on the ground, and puts his bow away.]

... Okay.

But what am I supposed to do, then? He... he called me out and insulted Tetra. If I don't do something, then... whenever she's here, she'll try.
And I know she's strong, but I'm scared of what he'd do...

[sageprincess]

[Oh, thank the Goddesses. She doesn't even try to hide her sigh of relief.]

If she awakens here, we will find her and warn her, like I did with you just now.

... I know it is not a certain method, and for that I am truly sorry, but it is all I have right now. [She places a hand over her heart.] And I promise, if I find her, I will do everything in my power to protect her.

[cantstopme]

... Alright. I know that if you're helping, she'll be okay...

[He pauses then, frowning a bit.]

... I'm sorry if I made you worry, princess. I was just so angry with him.

[sageprincess]

[Reaching out to cup his cheek.]

No, it is all right. I should apologize for telling you to endure his taunts and then do nothing in response, but...

[A sigh. Augh, she hates how helpless she feels against this man--]

If you must fight, to defend yourself or others, then... do so. But, please, do not seek him out if it is not absolutely necessary.

[cantstopme]

[Link takes her hand gently, and hugs her arm in apology, but gives her a little smile.]

It's... it's okay, I won't. Maybe he's like a mean little kid; my Grandma always told me that if someone starts picking on you, then ignore them, and they'll get bored and stop.

[sageprincess]

[She returns the smile just a bit, nodding.]

Yes, that is it. Your grandmother is a very smart woman.

[cantstopme]

Mhm. She taught me everything I know.

[Hopefully she doesn't mind the hug going on a little longer; he needs the comfort. He's still all sorts of pissed off at Ghirahim.]

[sageprincess]

[No, she's slowly starting to get used to this hugging thing. In fact, she'll go ahead and wrap her other arm around him, pulling him close.]

I was going to go down to the cafeteria to find something warm to drink - would you like to accompany me?

[Fact: hot chocolate fixes everything.]

[cantstopme]

Mm... Okay!

[He doesn't really know what she's hoping to get to drink, but whatever it is, he'll take it. If she likes it, surely he'll like it, too.]

[sageprincess]

[In that case, she'll stand, take his hand, and lead the way to the cafeteria. CRISIS AVERTED, HUZZAH.]

[cantstopme]

[YES, CHILLIN' WITH THE PRINCESS. What's better than hot cocoa and Zelda!?]

Um... what are we going to have anyway, princess?

[sageprincess]

[Not much!]

A lovely, warm, sweet drink they have been serving at the cafeteria this month. I believe they called it 'hot chocolate'.

[cantstopme]

Oh, I've never heard of that! It must be good if it's sweet, though; we don't get a lot of sweets on the Great Sea.

[He's looking forward to it now. c8]

[sageprincess]

[She nods!]

I had not experienced it before coming here, either. But I find it delicious, and thus far there have been no negative effects.

[Which... really shouldn't be a plus, but hey.]

[cantstopme]

Then... if you like it, then I want some!

[YEP that's totally a deciding factor okay!!]

[sageprincess]

[PFFT. Link you are incredibly obvious. But hey, as long as it gets his mind off of Ghirahim.]

Fortunate you are accompanying me then, hm?

[cantstopme]

[He's the most blunt Link okay.

He swings their hands a little bit as he walks along side her, and smiles up at her with a nod.]

Mhm! And we can talk and stuff too, without anything weird happening.
The mess hall is a really safe place, I like it. It's got a lot of food, and nothing bad really happens there!

[sageprincess]

Indeed. It does seem to be one of the more stable areas of this place, thankfully. I do not think I would have the energy to battle for a meal every day.

[Speaking of, looks like they're coming up upon it now!]

[cantstopme]

[He lets go of her hand to go ahead, opening the door and holding it for her.]

Well, even if that's how it has to happen, I could always fight for you, princess! Or we could take turns, even. When you get tired, I could fight, and when I get tired, you could!

[sageprincess]

[Bowing her head slightly in gratitude, she enters, waiting for him on the other side.]

That is very kind of you to offer, but all the same, I truly hope it never comes to that. It would be very upsetting if you became injured while fighting for my sake.

[cantstopme]

[And he toddles after her, smiling.]

Oh no, it's okay. It probably wouldn't be too hard for me anyway.
But it probably won't happen! Who would make their guests fight for their food?

[sageprincess]

[Her smile becomes slightly forced. One, she's had enough children fight for her, she doesn't need or want any more. And two, well, honestly, she wouldn't put anything past the creators of this place.]

Someone who truly needs a lesson in hospitality.

[Aah, there's where you get hot chocolate. She picks up two mugs and then starts heading for a table.]

[cantstopme]

[He runs a little to catch up to her, and walks next to her happily before sitting down at a table.]

I bet you could teach them, Princess Zelda. You're really nice, after all!
