[She had long ditched the black cloak she donned in her tower; here, it was stifling, hot, and heavy. It did no good anymore; it no longer kept the icy chill of the air from snapping at her skin, or the breeze that seeped in through the cracks of the crumbling castle from ruffling her hair. So, it was with a small smile that she had left the thing on her bed and too leave of the room to do a bit of...exploring.
Deciding to explore the ship on her own, she had, of course, expected to run into a few passengers. What she had not expected, however, was to run into a shirtless man with a...towel around his waist. HE looked a bit...lost.]

[Oh no.
No no no no no. Not here, not now. Oh please please please NOT WITH HIM LIKE THIS.
Link slowwwwwly turns around...gets a good look at the face of the woman who just spoke to him and drops right into a kneel, his fist against his chest and the other clutching the towel and his face redder than a sunset. Oh Goddesses, WHY NOW.]
Y-your Majesty, forgive my current state-! I wouldn't- This isn't intentional, I swear to you!

[What is he--
Oh. She supposed the crown gave her away as being a royal. His face is, after all, unfamiliar to her.]
Do right yourself, please; it is not as if I have never seen a person in this state before. [She had trained with some of her fathers very best guards, she had seen shirtless men before.]
I will ask only once more: Are you in need of assistance?
[commentlog]farmhandheroAugust 20 2009, 04:35:37 UTC
[That was...really cold. She must be angrier than she's letting on. Link slowly straightens, and keeps his eyes averted.] Not- nothing I can think of, Your Majesty. I've...misplaced my clothing, but I'm on my way for a suitable substitute until I can locate them.

[Zelda felt her entire body grow cold; she is openly staring at Link, lips slightly parted and a stunned expression on her face. So...this was him. Her eyes traveled from his eyes downward, then quickly snapped back up.]
...My deepest apologies, but no, I did not recognize you. I...[She hesitated, feeling foolish for not knowing.] I have only ever seen you once, and you were...not yourself.
[commentlog]farmhandheroAugust 20 2009, 12:14:49 UTC
[...what but-
OHHHHHHHH. This is the same thing with Midna, only in reverse; he must be from much further along than Zelda. Which means...their battle hadn't concluded for her. She must still be a Princess, then.
Link offers a short bow again, his left fist to his chest once more.] Please don't apologize, Your M-Highness. It's completely understandable. I'm...sorry to make such an impression on you on our first face-to-face meeting, so to speak.
[commentlog]scionofwisdomAugust 20 2009, 12:24:54 UTC
And I am sorry to...speak to you in such a fashion. I did not mean to be quite so...rude. [She swallowed, and pressed her lips together.]
But please...you must not bow to me. [He is still the Hero, regardless of timeframe. Strange, she thought, that the first time she ever sees his face they are meeting in a situation like this.]
You called me Your Majesty, not Your Highness. [That isn't a question, it's an observation. She didn't really want him of all people calling her any such thing, to be honest.]
[commentlog]farmhandheroAugust 20 2009, 12:28:23 UTC
[Fff this again. Oh Goddesses. The Zelda of his time had more or less gotten used to the bowing, at least in public, and really only reprimanded him every so often but SHE IS STILL THE QUEEN HE HAS TO BOW TO HER.
...anyway.
Link shifted awkwardly.] ...have you been told of the circumstances regarding timelines, Your Majesty?
[commentlog]scionofwisdomAugust 20 2009, 12:32:19 UTC
[Always this, Link. She can't stand it.]
Yes. [She regards him carefully. The other Zelda and Midna both had spoken to her of these things. She is beginning to rather feel like shaking him. Stop calling her thaaaaat.]
[commentlog]scionofwisdomAugust 20 2009, 12:38:46 UTC
I see. [This takes a moment to absorb. The fact that she was not slated to die, that she was not going to have to endure the unholy terrors of the Twilight anymore, that soon she would be freed from that cursed tower she so hated...
Well, it was enough to make anyones face light up with a smile, wasn't it? She can't really help it; and this is the first smile that anyone has gotten from her in...well. Quite some time. Thew news gave her hope, hope that Hyrule could, and would be saved.]

Do you need...assistance?

Something about him is strikingly familiar.]
Just...Zelda is fine. [She tilts her head, a small smile curving her lips.]
Would you like some help locating them, then? [How he lost the items is beyond her, but she does not mind helping.]

F......forgive me, Your Majesty. I couldn't put such a task on you.

Zelda, please. [She ignores the second part of his sentence, and inclines her head.]
May I be graced with the honor of your name...?

...Your Majesty...it's Link. Don't you recognize me...?
