At the Graveyard.

[blindcourage]

[The skies are dark and overcast, and chilled snow drops quickly from the clouds above, down onto the Kakariko Graveyard. It's fitting, perhaps, for a place of the dead. Living souls, however, are not too terribly fitting for a place of the dead.]

[A man walks slowly, carefully, across the graveyard, snow crunching loudly beneath his worn,

[Shad does not frequently come to the graveyard; it gives him an uncomfortable sensation. But he has come across, in his readings, mentions of this or that tomb that has him curious, so he comes there today to see what he can learn.

It is not readily apparent to him that the stranger can't see. The way the man is walking looks, from Shad's angle, like he may be ill or injured.]

I beg your pardon; are you all right?

[blindcourage]

[The man turns slowly in Shad's direction, instinctively shutting his eyes at the sound of another person's voice. No use showing off his highly unusual eye-color to someone he's only just encountered, after all. He lifts his right arm to scratch uneasily at the back of his neck.]

I wouldn't exactly say I'm 'all right'. I'm uninjured... but disoriented, I'll have to admit.

Could you tell me where I am?

[twilit_scholar]

Certainly, good sir. You're in the graveyard of Kakariko Village.

[Of all people in this Hyrule, Shad possibly comes closest to relating to this Link in his blindness. As was discovered during the clothing swap of several weeks back, Shad is nearsighted almost to the point of blindness if deprived of his spectacles. He still isn't quite sure what's wrong with this gentleman, though the closed eyes make him wonder.]

Perhaps I can offer you some direction to where you seek to go?

[blindcourage]

Kakariko Graveyard...

How can this be? [He extends his palm, allowing a few snowflakes to drop into his hand.]

It's not even wintertime.

[The man's brow furrows, and his expression seems questioning.] I don't seek to go anywhere... I'm only seeking to discover the answer to the cause of my confusion.

[Blue is sitting on top of the largest tombstone of them all, the Royal Family's tomb. Why? you know you wanted to on your first playthroughIt's just a relatively high place to sit, and sometimes even Blue wants some quiet. But not when there're people around to harass!]

Geez, are you blind or somethin'?

[blindcourage]

[The sudden voice startles him slightly; yet another thing about his blindness that bothered him. It was troublesome, inside and outside of battle, to be unable to see anything going on around him. He turns cautiously to face the direction the childish voice came from.]

I happen to be, yes.

[xblueswordx]

For real?

[After a few seconds of debate, Blue hops off of the tombstone and wanders over to Link, staring blatantly at him. Cause it's not like he can see it or anything, right?]

I think you're faking.

[blindcourage]

That's quite an assumption to make. Unfortunately for me, you're wrong.

[He folds his arms over his chest, and a frown settles on his face. He knew already he wouldn't be fond of whoever this person was.]

[royal_lullaby]

[He can hear a young girl speak, somewhere to his left. He would not be able to see it, but she is staring at him curiously.]

You're lost?

[blindcourage]

[Ah! Someone was there? He hadn't noticed. The voice is a young child's; wholly non threatening, and he easily fights away the sudden tenseness threatening to reach him.]

I suppose you could call it that...

[royal_lullaby]

Do you come from the forest?

[Zelda has been on the look out for the Hero from her prophetic dream. She has been asking everyone wearing green the same kinds of questions.]

[blindcourage]

Hm? No, I don't...

Would there be any particular reason you ask, miss...?

[excuseuprincess]

[lol, we're looking for artifacts of great power.]

......who are you talking to?

asd;fgh I'm sorry this is so late!!

[blindcourage]

[Alas, he hadn't expected to hear anyone here. Especially someone with such an...unusual voice.]

Myself, really.

Not at all! Things happen!

[excuseuprincess]

[A quick look left and a quick look right and oh, hey, what do you know? He is.]

Oh.

[A beat and then:]

Why?

<3

[blindcourage]

[He laughs softly.]

Why not?

I didn't think there was anyone else around to talk to, after all.
