[Comm clicks on. There's the sound of breathing. Nothing strenuous. Zelda's not running laps around the ship or anything like that.

There's a tentative tap; and then another. Finally, Zelda assumes there's really no other way to say it.]

'Great' Captain.
I will not be fooled!
I am a pawn for no one, and I will not fall into this web you have spun

"Captain"...?

[oblique_wisdom]

As in Captain Redd, the leading authority upon this ship.

[hylian_courage]

Oh... wait, I think you mentioned him. He's the one that brought us here?

[oblique_wisdom]

That is correct, although I am unable to determine the criteria for which we are selected.

[hylian_courage]

Or why people come and go... I was told I've been here twice already, and others have too.

...although I don't understand how that's possible, since I don't know this place at all...

[oblique_wisdom]

......
This is true. You have been. I can attest to both accounts.

[Way to hit the sore spot.]

It would seem those who leave to return home, also leave behind their memories of the experiences and the people here.

[hylian_courage]

[He can sense that sore spot, and frowns to himself in concern. Just what has been going on with her in her mysterious time here so far?]

So... so it is possible I've been here twice before, and just forgot.

[oblique_wisdom]

I would say that is... remarkably similar to what happened. It is complicated, Link. I do not think at this point in time you would understand it very well in the least.

[She may not be ready to go into this. It hurts when you're gone, Link. She's not sure she can say that, though.]

[hylian_courage]

G-Good, because I don't think I understand it very well in the least either. [He laughs nervously.]

[oblique_wisdom]

One day we will discuss it in great length, and perhaps... Perhaps you will understand then. For now, why not just... acquaint yourself with the ship and the other passengers.

Carefully.

[Zelda's words are pointed.]

[hylian_courage]

...

[He understands. It's dangerous, in other words. Although his first assumption is that she's talking about Ganondorf, he'll be cautious aside from that too.]

Alright.

[oblique_wisdom]

If something should befall you, Link, please let me know. I will worry far more not being informed than I would otherwise.

[Meaning, she wants to know when you leave again.]

[hylian_courage]

I will. And, of course, if you need anything, you can call on me. I'm going to protect you from him.

[oblique_wisdom]

...Thank you, Link. I will inform you should something occur.
