Dawn of the Seventh Day

[threedaystime]

[A heavy sigh, and a quiet tense voice.]

Don't go onto deck 13. That's what Jared said, and I bet that's where everyone's dying.

I am staying with Sheik... my priorities are with Zelda. Whoever wants protection during this, please come straight to 6333 on deck 07.

Future-Zelda, big Link - are you alright? Midna? Thom?

We're not staying here for the entirety of things, Hero. We will be useful in putting an end to this nonsense.

[Last thing Sheik wants is the off-chance where they have to take care of someone like Erol. Not happening. Ever.]

[threedaystime]

[Link looks up from his comm to Sheik, and frowns gently.]

I wonder just what we can do, Sheik. If I had the Master Sword, I could do this all myself, but...

[He does not look happy to be saying any of that, at all. Sheik will know better than anyone how much he wants to rush in head first.]

[oblique_wisdom]

[Sheik's anything but as collective as he'd like to be. Well, he'd like to say he feels collective, but he doesn't. He plays the part well, however, and right now, that's all that matters.

He slips his arms behind his neck thoughtfully, leaning back onto his couch.]

People are gathering. Miss Katherine needs someone to evade detection and scout. I have every intention of taking you with me. It's time for you to learn to be a little less conspicuous.

[Link can't see it, but there's some mirth in Sheik's expression.]

You'll get something out of it.

[threedaystime]

[Link bites his lip and looks down at the plush carpet. When he goes out there, and he's around all those others - if even one dies, he'll feel like he hadn't been good enough. At the same time, sitting here and not helping, that's even worse.

But... he can't let Zelda die again. Absolutely not. The first time had already left a deep scar. Maybe... if it's Sheik, and he comes along, that's better?

Ugh. This stuff has never been easy, but why does it feel so much worse in this case.]

Any other time, I'd love some training from you, Sheik... but...

...no. Alright. Yeah, we'll go.

[ttlynotawizard]

Yes it is.

[threedaystime]

...After I offered them help...

[farmhandhero]

Her Majesty-

Her Majesty- Hero, she was caught up in it- If she's still alive, I have to go to her, I-...

[Voice]

[threedaystime]

[...what?

Link quickly checks the comms. Did he miss it somehow? Were some of those screams the future Princess'?

There's a silence that lasts far longer than it takes to check.]

[Voice]

[farmhandhero]

[Link gives him the silence for as long as he can before speaking again.]

I have to go.

[Voice]

[threedaystime]

[And who would he be to tell him no? It's only out of his own frustration that he himself isn't out there right now.]

She'll want you there when she comes back.
