~8~ Forward Dated to a few hours after Link's Disappearance

[wheres_my_puppy]

[Midna sounds cheerful, but if you know her well enough, it should be obvious it's pretty forced.]

Just a minute ago, there was a foolish green sock-hat hanging off the foot of my bed.

It's gone now.

So I wonder...is its owner gone, too?

[Kevas is sure he knows what this is about, but he doesn't have the faintest clue what to say. He wants to help but she has never really wanted his help.]

Sounds like Redd took sometin' else dat ain't be his.

[He isn't going to lie to her or give her any false hope. He likes her too much to do that.]

[wheres_my_puppy]

I was wondering who was playing tricks on me.

[She understands now what Kevas meant about Redd taking his family. Like a blow to the freaking chest.]

[pimp_hat]

Aye, da mon be havin' a wicked sense of humuh.

[wheres_my_puppy]

And it's surprisingly funny.

[In that sad, ironic way.]

[pimp_hat]

It gets old real fast.

[Like when he brings back your brother only to take him away again a month later.]

frickin' typos

[wheres_my_puppy]

Which is why I've decided I'm just about finished with my vacation.

My throne must be close to freezing by now~

[Might as well.]

[pimp_hat]

Been lookin' fuh a way to end dis since I got here. Joo find sometin' joo tell me eh?

[Kevas goes silent. If they keep on like this it'll probably do more harm than good. Right now he can only think of one thing that might help.]

How 'bout a drink ladymon?

[wheres_my_puppy]

I'd like that~

Your room or mine?

[pimp_hat]

I'll come to joo.

[His room isn't exactly fit for a princess right now anyway.]

Be dere soon.

[He gathers up a few bottles of liquor from his private stash and heads to her room. A few moments there's a knock at her door.]

Knock knock, room suhvice.

[wheres_my_puppy]

[Usually she'd be scolded for answering the door sans clothing, but the scolder has up and left her. No worries! She smiles at the visitor and steps aside.]

How punctual. Remind me to tip.

[pimp_hat]

[You won't be hearing any complaints from this troll. He dips his head politely and smiles.]

No wuhrries. Dis one be on da house.

[Kevas lays the bottles out on a desk, keeping one for himself. He brought as many as he could carry, not sure what her tolerance is or just how drunk she wants to get. Besides, he can always run back and grab some more.]

Help joorself. Be havin' plenty more where dat came from.

[wheres_my_puppy]

[She's not an avid drinker because, lets face it, it's never any fun alone. And who does she surround herself with, obviously with the exception of Kevas? A bunch of pansy light weights. You should see how red Zelda gets when Midna so much as mentions the bar.

A drink now? Sounds fantastic. As she approaches to get the booze, she leans a small hand against Kevas' arm, smirking at him.]

Did you bring any for you?

[pimp_hat]

[Now that makes the troll chuckle. He leans against the wall and pops the cap of the bottle off, taking a small gulp.]

I'll just take what be left when joo drink joorself unconscious.

[There's not many Kevas has met who can keep up with his pace, especially on this boat. It's part of the reason he drinks alone. Most are done by the time he's done warming up. The other reason is that it helps him clear his head, or to be more accurate, empty it completely. For now he'll stick to whatever pace Midna sets.]
