[twilitxknight]

[in the corner of a tavern in town sat one Hero Without End. Various sheets of paper were strewn around on the table he was sitting at. Some had been filled completely with either Ancient or Modern Hylian, others had music scores drawn over them and still more had a combination of both

[Without a sound, Sheik slides into the seat beside his friend. He does not reach out, does not speak out. It was good finally find Link again, having been separated for a few days, and Sheik was content with just being in his wordless presence.]

[But something was wrong. He could see it in Link's body language - it was crystal clear in those somber, tired eyes. The Sheikah waits, concerned, but patient all the same.]

[twilitxknight]

[he doesn't notice the Sheikah's presence at all, instead tapping out the rhythm to another song before writing it down. It was by chance that he stopped to look up, otherwise, he would have continued transcribing in silence]

...!

Sheik?

[tehnrija]

Your senses fail you miserably today, wolf-boy. [It's said calmly, but with just a hint of teasing.]

[When was the last time you slept?]

[twilitxknight]

[keeps eye contact momentarily before laughing weakly. He rubs his eyes once again before replying quietly]

And this time I don't have an excuse for it, do I? [looks up again, tired and barely alive (he felt so old and thin)] How have you been?

[twilitxknight]

[jumps at the crashing before setting down the quill (ink's getting everywhere, Link, don't you- oh nevermind) and walking towards the tavern. Pausing as he arrives, he sneaks a peak around the corner to see...]

...?

[a mess. At least it'll give him some other distraction, he facepalms and sighs softly before looking for the perpetrator]

[twilitxknight]

[wandering into the kitchen, he spots the pot and... Wolf?]

Will you stop moving for a moment? [walks over and waits for the other to stop before reaching down to pull the pot off the wolf's head] Link, what are you doing, going through cupboards?

[this had to be another Link (Twilight version) since... well, he of all people should be able to tell the different eras apart]

[twilitxknight]

[Another sheet is blotted out before he sets his quill down to rub at his eyes again. He didn't want to sleep just ye-]

...!

[turns to look at her before giving her a small smile]

Is there anything you need?

[Goddesses, he hated this place sometimes]

[twilitxknight]

[blink, the lack of sleep must be getting to him (or his memory was being iffy again... Yet where was the headache?)]

... It's okay. After being here for so long, I forgot that the Hero wasn't a common sight. I should be apologizing for startling you. [pause] Did you manage to find your Hero though?

[he didn't mean to ignore her question, but he didn't want to answer either]
