hdhsjardsadhfhkjfhkvh turn on write where is the paper????? dsjakleuwoiqrysf dashf

[WHACK. Hitting the computer activates the video function. Glaring at the screen is a tan-skinned man with pointed ears, a lovely gin-blossom nose, sunken eyes, and... green hair. And he's already changed out of that weird jumpsuit and into his normal clothes. The top of his orange collar is barely visible over his red cravat.

He narrows his eyes at the screen, then down at the keyboard]

Blasted... typewriter! What kind of contraption is this! Where's the paper?! Cursed LIARS, telling me I could communicate with people using this thing!

[and now he's shaking the computer. Or trying to]

HEY!! TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK, YOU INFERNAL MACHINE!! Put me back on my ship right this instant!

If I had an answer, Mister Linebeck, you would know it by now.

But my offer of protection still stands.

[She's only pushing it because... well. You look like you'd be pretty thin under that huge coat, Linebeck. Like a twig, almost.]

[he massages his temples a bit, looking down. Ugh... this place....]

... I'll keep it in mind.

[he is! TWIG MAN!]

... Would you like me to show you to a peaceful place, Mister Linebeck?

[He really, really looks like he needs to relax and kick back for a while, seriously.]

You mean there's somewhere in this tower where I'm NOT in immediate danger of being eaten, maimed, or otherwise killed?

[he sighs. YEP. This has been a long day.]

Of course. ... It's my favorite floor, as well.

If you meet me by the staircase, I can show you.

Alright. Let me get a few things together. Give me a few minutes.

[because he's going to grab his knife and comb his hair and make sure his BREATH SMELLS NICE... ha! Ok. Off to the staircase]

[And she's just... her normal, raggedy forest girl self, giving him a smile as he approaches the staircase.

... He's shorter in person.]

Hello, Mister Linebeck. Are you ready to go?

[hey! He's not THAT short! sob.

But even raggedy, she's beautiful. Ooodshdashjdhas]

Ahem. Yeah. I am. Let's go see this relaxing place.

[Zelda gives him a nod then, before motioning for him to follow - but she's not going to walk ahead of him, that's rude. '~'
But either way; she's going to lead him to the meadow floor; her favorite place in the tower.]

This floor reminds me of my home. Not as much as the floor with the forest, but that place is much too dangerous to relax in, sadly.
But this place has never seen hide nor hair of a monster, and it's beautiful.

[ah? Well, they should walk side by side then. He attempts, JUST ONCE, to hook arms with her, but decides to.. not. He looks around the floor, eyebrows raised. He looks up to where the ceiling SHOULD be, and it just looks like a sunny day.

He takes in a deep breath and wow... it smells nice. A field of flowers on a sunny day , fresh and clean. He may be a man of the sea, but he can appreciate a good spit of land, too.]

I half expect to see some fluffy bunnies bounding across the field. The air sure is fresh here.

[She noticed that attempt there, Linebeck - most people aren't so forward though. 8|a At least not the people she knows. Is she missing some normal, social custom? Is this a Hylian thing? This forest gal's not really too sure what it meant - would it be rude to not link arms?
This all goes through her mind pretty quickly though, and she nods at what he says.]

It makes a great place to get away if the tower is too much.
I have been tempted to bring my bedding here instead of leaving it in my room, it's very nice.

[... S-should she hook arms with him though -]

[NAH, NAH. This is just Linebeck. Trying to be a gentleman]

I might be spending a lot of time here. As long as it doesn't aggravate my allergies. [he gives that red nose of his a rub] Thanks. For uh... showin' me this.

It was no trouble, Mister Linebeck.

Perhaps you and I could have a picnic together, sometime; here in this meadow.

[She can't help giving him a little bow as she speaks, mostly to be polite.]

A picnic, ya say! Well that sounds just lovely. I just wish there were an ocean in here, somewhere. Nothin' beats the smell of the seabreeze while you have a little snack.

[he frowns at that bow] Oh come on now, you don't have to bow to me.

... Ah, it's... it's a habit of mine, sorry.

But... I have never seen the ocean before. The most I have seen was the Zora's domain...

[She hasn't even visited Lake Hylia, yet. 8|a]

I'll have to take your word for it. You seem to have an eye for things such as that, after all.

[That. Might have been teasing for calling her beautiful, earlier.]

Well, you don't have to bow to me. I'm just a salty seadog, after all.

Well, lakes and such are nice, but they don't have a thing on the sea. Ah well. Maybe one day, when we get out of here.

... I wish I could join you to see it someday, Mister Linebeck.
And whether you are "just a salty seadog" or not, it's still polite...
But I won't anymore, if you feel I shouldn't.

[Because... doing something when asked not to is rude, right? 8|]

You'll have to forgive me, though. I am... not quite used to social customs just yet.

[Except Kokiri ones, whoops.]

[he blushes a little because she's just SO GOSHDARN CUTE and innocent and it feels wrong to hit on her SOB]

It makes me feel weird!

Hm? Why's that?

Well, I wouldn't want you to feel weird, then!

And it's because I...
I was raised in a forest, you see - with the children of the forest, the Kokiri.
I'm still getting used to being around other Hylians.

[The Great Deku Tree taught her her manners but there's a lot of things the Great Deku Tree and Hylians do differently...]

Oh! So you're a rural girl. I see. Hehehe. Well, your manners aren't too off. I think you're very nice and polite.

In my time, we don't really have Kokiri, I don't think. Hylians though, we do. I am one! Though the only difference is our ears, see.

Not even rural, unfortunately.

[That gets a bit of a kind laugh.]

I lived in a tree and was raised by the spirit of the forest, Mister Linebeck.

[She knows what rural is, though! That's... like farm communities, right? Malon and her father!]

But I'm glad you think that of me, Mister Linebeck. I try my hardest to treat people how they deserve.
Such as you - you are a very kind man, so of course I am going to be very kind in return.

... That is like... ultra rural. Super naturey. Uh. But that's neat. I guess. [HE'S KIND OF UNSURE maybe this chick is crazy...]

Ahaha... well, I'm nice to ladies by default! Gotta be a gentleman.

[No, not crazy. Just... sheltered.]

Well, that is more than most men can say. I appreciate it, Mister Linebeck.

[Prince Ganon's only nice because he's a prince, for example.]

[he gives her that WINNING ADVENTURER'S SMILE, then flops down in the grass, spreading his arms out]

If it's all the same to you, Miss Zelda, I think I'll stay here for a while.

Of course. You need the rest anyway, I'd say.

[He looked so stressed out, earlier -]

I need to go make a few arrows to replace the ones I've lost; if you ever need me, you can come find me in my room, alright?
