[Pluck. Pluck. Pluck.

One string here, one string there. Sheik's playing absentmindedly for the ship again. Some days, it feels like forever since he's been aboard.Little bore, little animal, little dark lord

... Sheik!

[oblique_wisdom]

[Now that is a very welcoming sound indeed. Even Sheik can be caught off guard sometimes.]

Is that the sound of the Sage of Spirit I hear?

[Because otherwise this ship has reached an all time low in terms of raising hopes.]

[jewelofthesands]

Yes indeed! You know, I had been wondering if you were still around, but here you are!

[oblique_wisdom]

And here I thought the princess was just wrapped up in a storybook.

[He's not serious. Well, maybe he's not.]

You're a sight for sore eyes, Nabooru.

[destinedtorule]

[He hears you Sheik and can't help but wonder if that little dark lord comment was about him.]

So you still live.

[He just doesn't like you, Sheik. :|]

[oblique_wisdom]

[Very, very good, Ganondorf. You know how to listen. If only you could apply that intelligence to other various parts of your life. He can always wish.]

What gave you the impression otherwise?

[destinedtorule]

A man is allowed to hope, is he not?

[oblique_wisdom]

Depends on what he's hoping for. Depends if he's a man. That's circumstantial.

[lfetimewarranty]

Interesting song.

I suppose you're talking about Valentines Day?

[oblique_wisdom]

You would be correct, on both accounts. This Valentines Day, tell me more about it, if you celebrate it.

[lfetimewarranty]

[She doesn't celebrate it, but she knows about it.]

There are two theories about its existence - the first being a holiday celebrating love, named after a Christian religious saint known as Valentine.

The other is that the first story is just that, a story, made to have the Christian religion implement an old pagan fertility holiday known as Imbolc.

Either way, the holiday is generally a celebration of love and affection between couples. Gifts are traditionally exchanged, usually flowers, cards or chocolate. It can be a display of romantic affection between married and courting couples, of friendship, or a day to declare romantic aspirations on someone.

[oblique_wisdom]

[You just said a lot, Rfena. Excuse Sheik if he just glazed over a lot of that. He was listening, but given he can't actually apply it to his personal life, most of it is just informative and not really useful for him.]

Then it's not strictly for romantic couples. Is that right?

[missmimmi]

What?

[oblique_wisdom]

I was talking of that day of love and what not. Do you know what I speak of, Miss Mimmi?

[missmimmi]

Nein, I do not.

[oblique_wisdom]

Well. Then it's of no importance to either of us, I suppose.

[meantthecar]

How do you know about the Precursors?

[oblique_wisdom]

I am acquainted with a few of them, directly and indirectly.

[Including you, Keira.]

[meantthecar]

[This guy is kind of... huh.]

Who?

[oblique_wisdom]

Is that kind of information really so important for you to have, or are you simply tugging on curiosity?
