[The PDA clicks on when Alex rolls over onto it. For a while there's just darkness and a scraping noise as the virus gets up. Slowly. Unsteadily. The PDA is peeking over the side of his breast pocket, his lower torso and legs visible as he sits up. You can see the flap of his pocket occasionally getting in the way of the lens as he moves to look

[Sounds like you've already got the rundown! Which is good, because Link isn't giving it to you. Instead, he's just staring at the PDA screen, mouth open slightly in surprise. This guy is fast. He must have some special equipment, or potion or something!

So Link, video feed still on, is looking around outside for any sign of Alex.]

[No sign of Alex for a while, though you may catch a glimpse of him doing some pretty impressive bits of rooftop jumping and- did he just glide for a distance? Yup, he just glided.

Alex hears the PDA beeping when he lands, and raises a brow when he sees the kid looking outside the window.]

Hey. You left your thing on.

[HE GLIDED WITHOUT A LEAF!? Running to the outdoors!]

How did you do that?

video; ...Commentlog?

[angryaffliction]

How did I...

[He looks around. Clearly the kid is close by somewhere if he saw him since the PDA was nestled snugly in his pocket.

He scours the area for any sign of green with yellow hair.]

YES

[windsport]

[Likewise, he is looking around for any sallow fellows with impressive abilities. Alex will probably have an easier time spotting Link, as he runs around in his ridiculous clothing, wielding a sword like a pro. He's glancing between his PDA and his surroundings, as he heads to the building he saw Alex at last.]

COMMENTLOG FUCK YEAH

[angryaffliction]

[Said sallow stranger gives up using regular vision and switches to thermal, spying Link almost immediately.

He drops off the building, spreading his biomass so that he lands without a sound. He can be dangerously stealthy, a trait that earned him more than one balled up scrap piece of paper chucked at his head by Dana whenever he startled her.

He approaches the boy, more curious than anything.

He'd seen children before, in the early days of the outbreak, but thought little of it. He'd never really spoken to one before, and his head tilted to the side, taking in the kid's strange appearance.]

Nice costume.

AW YEAH commentlog forever

[windsport]

[Link turns to see him with a small noise of surprise, tilting his head slightly as he looks Alex over. Wondering what it is that's giving him his abilities. Magic clothing or something? He doesn't look like a Rito, for sure.

He doesn't seem to mind the remark about his clothes.]

'Hoy.

PARTY IN THE COMMENTLOG

[angryaffliction]

[Unusual. Scanning the collective memory of his victims yielded no recollection of children having pointy ears. A mutation maybe? Other than looking like something out of a children's fantasy story, Link seemed otherwise normal.]

Did your parents ever tell you not to spy on strangers?

[Alex has a bad habit of looming. Even when he's slouching awkwardly, unsure of how to deal with the child in front of him.]

YES also that was some icon fail up there, sorry ea;tkha;t

[windsport]

[Link doesn't mind the looming! Just watches Alex curiously.

And no they did not, HIS PARENTS ARE DEADDDDD.]

You can fly?

I couldn't tell. Link always just looks MEGAADORABLE all the time X3

[angryaffliction]

[Oh waah. You and everyone else's. /slapped/]

...Kind of. What are you?

<: yes, yes he does

[windsport]

How?

[He has no idea why people have been asking him that question...] A person.

/gives him all the cookies from the cookie jar

[angryaffliction]

[Alex shrugged. He knew, but the explanation was a little complicated. And probably kind of grim for telling a kid.]

Just something I can do.

[Anyway, he can see that you're a person.]

What's with the ears?

/breaks the jar to look for money!!

[windsport]

[He will accept that as an answer for now, although he's still curious about it.]

...Some people have long ears. [Duh.]

/All you find are cookies Link :|

[angryaffliction]

Not that I've seen.

[He crouches down, inspecting the boy curiously.]

Is this normal around here then?

/oh... well, I guess those will have to do :9

[windsport]

[Just your average elf-like twelve year old!

He thinks about how many people he's seen that have pointy ears here. HMMMM. Admittedly, not many. But surely there must be some.]

I don't know.

/they're rupee shaped?

[angryaffliction]

[Alex is thinking hard about this. He should be careful unless he strains something.]

Hmm.

[He stands and turns to go. You know, leaving a small child on his own in the middle of a dangerous, deserted place. (Not that he knows this kid totally banned Ganon's ass.) ALEX HAS THE BEST SOCIAL SKILLS Y/N?]

Don't spy on strangers, kid. They might be dangerous.
