|| 45 [Audio - Forward dated to when Ganny gets his new hand]

[destinedtorule]

[Ganny's got a new haaaand. And he can't seem to control it, which sucks. But whatever. Once he learns how to control it, he'll be using it to pimp slap the snot out of Ridley. Nobody wounds Ganondorf's pride and manage to go without a pimp slapping.]

I thought a storm was coming.

[And after setting the appropriate locks.]

[Locked to TP!Zelda,

...

Why are you in the medical bay.

[locked to Zelda//25% unhackable]

[destinedtorule]

[He needed bandages for his wounded pride.]

It is unimportant. Will you come? It will be some time before I will be allowed to return to my room.

[locked to Ganondorf//25% unhackable]

[scionofwisdom]

I will.

[She won't press until she gets there.

When she does, she'll slip in quietly, and look around for him.]

Commentlog!

[destinedtorule]

[She'll find him laying in a bed a few feet away from the entrance, his chest wrapped tightly in bandages.]

Commentlog!

[scionofwisdom]

[She'll walk directly over to him, glancing impassively down at him.]

What happened?

Commentlog!

[destinedtorule]

[He gestures to a chair by his bed, where her armor rests.]

I retrieved your armor.

Commentlog!

[scionofwisdom]

[Her brows shoot up in surprise and she turns to see, almost expecting it to be some trick, a lie to get her here.

But no, there it is, resting on the chair, the familiar gold plating glinting in the light of the medical bay.]

You...

[Of all people, Zelda still doesn't understand the...'why' of all of this. He must be tricking her, right?]

...

Thank you.

Commentlog!

[destinedtorule]

[Nope it's not a trick. OR IS IT?]

Of course, Zelda.

[His new hand twitches and he has to hold it by the wrist to keep it still.]

You are well?

Commentlog!

[scionofwisdom]

[It has to be. It makes no sense otherwise.

She moves to sit in a chair that's resting nearby, nodding once.]

Well enough. I admit that I am a bit more concerned about you.

What happened? How did you retrieve it?

Commentlog!

[destinedtorule]

The beast and I had a talk. [Clearly it involved more violence than actual talking.]

Commentlog!

[scionofwisdom]

[The only sign that indicates Zelda's feeling towards the creature is the slightest tightening of her jaw.]

I see. [She tilts her head. Still baffled by the thought Ganondorf had braved that THING to retrieve her armor, Zelda is still sorting through things in her mind.]

And...was it productive?

Commentlog!

[destinedtorule]

Productive enough. You have your armor, do you not?

[Though now, Ganny's going to have to be a little more clever about dealing with Ridley. Now that he knows how his opponent fights, he knows brute force isn't going to work here. He'll have to control that temper of his and fight smart.]

Commentlog!

[scionofwisdom]

I do indeed.

[ She looks him over with a carefully masked expression. She feels a twinge of guilt; he's like this because of her.

Cautiously, Zelda reaches over and runs her fingers down the bandages on his chest.]

Was he able to completely heal you, or do you require additional treatment?

[Yes, thats her offering.]

Commentlog!

[destinedtorule]

[Ganondorf pauses, then places his hand over hers.]

I will heal. This wound is far too extensive and you will overexert yourself.

Commentlog!

[scionofwisdom]

[It's automatic reaction for her to immediately tense, but she manages to hide it for the most part.]

If you are certain there is nothing I can do.

[Overexert? That kind of wound would kill her here on the boat. She hates this place.]

Commentlog!

[destinedtorule]

[He lifts her hand to his lips and kisses her palm.]

Do not worry yourself over me. I've suffered far worse.

[The Sages' sword hurt more.]
