[His voice is scratchy, and his cheer is hollow.]I am pleased to announce that the bath house should be up and running shortly. As such, I am placing Nabooru in charge for the last stages of its completion. With Avari's work on the pipes to drain the water the only thing truly remaining, I am confident we shall no longer have to strain our fire

Prince, are you sure you are alright? I am worried about you.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[kakolookiyam]

[He's about as convincing as his skin is purple.]

I am--I am fine Zelda.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[sorighteously]

I trust you to be honest with me, Prince.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[kakolookiyam]

...Zelda.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[sorighteously]

I am here, if you need it. You know that. You are very dear to me, Prince. I would not wish to see you pained.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[kakolookiyam]

As you are to me, Zelda.

[There's an abrupt sort of pause, like he was about to say something, but was checked.]

...But it is not a pressing matter.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[sorighteously]

Perhaps not, but your welfare is important to me, and all that is a weight on your shoulders becomes a weight upon my own.

[He is silent a while, and then...]

My lady, another element of your dream has proven true, and yet it is more terrible than your vision foretold.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[sorighteously]

Then it is as I feared...

Perhaps it is neither to my ability, nor my place, but I will aid you in whatever way I might.

Tell me of what fate has befallen you. Prince, are you safe?

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[kakolookiyam]

For now.

However, it is you I fear for. I apologize, Zelda, but I must leave your protection to...more worthy hands. I cannot risk you. Not to this.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[sorighteously]

I will not hear of it. I am protected here. I will not leave you on your own to the shadow at your shoulder.

What has happened?

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[kakolookiyam]

I have seen it, Zelda, and I will not be your undoing.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[sorighteously]

Tell me what it is you have seen. Tell me what has happened, Prince.

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[kakolookiyam]

Zelda, please...

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[sorighteously]

Please?

[Voice][Private // Unhackable]

[kakolookiyam]

Trust me. Trust that I do this for you.
