Loss...

[The sacred forest meadow deep within the lost woods holds no music as it usually does. There is an eerie silence prevailing the air as the fireflies and woodland creatures go about their usual routines.

In the centre of the meadow, Saria is standing, her green garb a splash of colour against the grey and white stone platform.]"This looks like

This is your home?

[A young man is behind her, having come from exploring the strange village of tree houses. He didn't like it in the forest. It is too murky and humid under the oppressive branches, and he is in a terrible mood. The girl is the first person he has seen in days, so congratulations -- she gets to hear him complain:]

Enough water to drink and to spare. Enough to eat and to spare. Weather mild with gentle winds. The people living here must have been coddled and spoiled like children.

[ooc: Sorry for not getting to this earlier -- I wanted to tag, but I had to work instead. :<]

[faroresdaughter]

[The girl turns with a shocked expression. There are tears in her eyes, which she wipes away hastily.]

Forgive me, I didn't hear you approach. [She lets out a sigh before giving the young man a smile, pushing down her initial fear for the time being.] Your assumption is almost right actually. The people who live here are children. Children of the forest.

(ooc; I am so pleased for your comment! ^0^ Hope your work wasn't too hard.)

[young_ganondorf]

[His expression sours even more at the sight of her tears -- crying is for little babies and weak people.]

They were all children? What is that supposed to mean?

[ooc: It was fun! And I love Saria~]

[faroresdaughter]

... 'Were?' [She asks, raising en eyebrow.] so it's true then? Everyone is... Gone? You didn't see any other children in the forest at all?

(ooc; Good! Work should be fun! And thank you ;_; I am very nervous playing her. Your Ganon is lovely <3!)

[young_ganondorf]

[He actually feels some faint (very very very faint) feelings of sympathy, if only because he experienced the same feeling of abandonment when he walked through the Gerudo Fortress, hoping in vain for some sign of his people.]

Everyone in Hyrule is gone. I don't know why. Deal with it.

[Which was the exact same advice he had given himself.]

(ooc: You're doing fine! And ahahah, thank you. This one's new to me, I'm used to playing him older.)

[faroresdaughter]

... I suppose that's all I can do. [She nods, a little taken aback by his nature but by no means discouraged by it.]

You know, if everyone is Hyrule is gone as you say, we should be friends with those we do meet. Right?

[young_ganondorf]

[young_ganondorf]

Is that your way of hinting that I should be friends with you?

[faroresdaughter]

Don't you like having friends?

[young_ganondorf]

Of course I do. I just don't think you're tough enough to be my friend.

[faroresdaughter]

... [She smiles at him] How can you tell from such a short encounter? Surely you can't make an opinion that quickly?

[young_ganondorf]

You're a "child of the forest", right? You've lived here all your life, in this forest where apparently life is so easy, children never have to grow up and face reality. How could you possibly be tough? Where would you have learned to be tough?

[faroresdaughter]

I'm standing up against you aren't I? You're rude, abrupt, arrogant and bigger than me. Yet here I am.

So... If you think I'm not tough, well, that's up to you isn't it?

[young_ganondorf]

[He squints at her for a long moment, and then seems to come to a decision.]

...fine. Then introduce yourself to me.

[faroresdaughter]

My name is Saria, what's yours? [She asks him, even though she feels like she may already know his name somehow.]

[young_ganondorf]

I am Ganondorf, leader of the Gerudo. [There is an excessive amount of pride in his voice.]
