in Hyrule Field

[xnoswordx]

[Little Zelda lies on her back in the middle of Hyrule Field, golden hair spilling around her. It's not a precisely sunny day; there is sunlight but it's wrestling to make its way through various cloud patterns. She's got absolutely nothing better to do, so she's lying here, letting her mind organize the clouds into recognizable shapes. That one

*It was a day Shadow Link might be tempted to call good. Little sunlight, so it was more bearable to move during the day and finding he couldn't find a place comfortable to sleep, he decided to wander. Of course he usually stuck near the trees, but when there seemed little breaks in the clouds, he decided to venture across the field. At least it took sunlight a long while to do serious damage even if there was a sudden clearing. He could get to cover again if he needed.

Of course, he didn't expect to spot someone during his sort of risky journey across the field. But he did.*

Watching the clouds, Princess Zelda?

*Well, he thought he should make it clear he wasn't 'her' shadow.*

[turntoshadow]

Nah. The hardest is part is convincing myself it was possible. I did think I'd fade away.

[Pauses.]

...hopefully I can pull it off.

[xnoswordx]

[Perhaps it's not the most sensible response, but Zelda is too sweet to refrain. She pats his hand again, and smiles.]

We won't let you fade away. And as I said, if I can help you at all, I will.

[turntoshadow]

[Looks at her hand, seeming to be debating something in his mind for a good minute.]

...thank you.

[xnoswordx]

You're entirely welcome.

[Zelda's expression is sweetly composed. She glances at Shadow, noting his contemplative look.]

You seem pensive...what are you thinking?

[turntoshadow]

Just...wondering about a lot of things. If I'll ever be able to....well, get closure with them, I guess.

[xnoswordx]

[Zelda nods.]

You won't know until you try, I suppose. And for some things, at least, there probably is no way to get closure without leaving this world again. There's not much to be done in that instance except to try to accept things in your own mind.

*Silent a few moments before he chuckles.*

What's with you and your tendency to say stuff like that?

[xnoswordx]

[Amused, she chuckles too.]

Oh, I don't know. You might say I speak as the spirit moves me. If it comes to mind and it feels like the right thing to say, I say it. I just want to help, you know.

[turntoshadow]

Good intuition, I suppose.

[xnoswordx]

I like to think so. Right now my intuition is telling me to encourage you to stay and sit for a while...help me figure out what these clouds look like.

[turntoshadow]

[Raises an eyebrow at that, silent for a few moments before turning and laying down on the ground beside her.]

Well, it's been right so far.

[xnoswordx]

[Smiling, Zelda lies back down and gets comfortable.]

I think it's right this time too.

(ooc: How does this strike you as an ending? I'm sorry I've been fail with the thread lately; among other things, my internet's been horribly unreliable.)

[turntoshadow]

[A surreal idea, watching the clouds with Princess Zelda.

But...it was oddly a rather nice thing to do.]

((OOC: Sure. This totally works.))
