Link Visiting Places: Twilight Princess Edition

[sky_child]

Link is very confused.

Link--the other Link, perhaps better known as Link of Ordon--said he was going to take him to Hyrule Castle Town in Lanaryu Province. Link (of Skyloft) did not know what a Hyrule Castle Town was. He did know what a Lanaryu Province was, or at least just a Lanaryu, and had used that to build certain expectations.

This hilly green landscape defies his expectations.

"Um...are you sure we're in the right place?" he asks Link of Ordon, looking around at the Not Desert.

SUGOIIII

Very, very tentatively, he sticks out a hand towards the puppy.

[cant_be_tamed]

And the puppy makes adorable puppy noises at the petting!!!

How can one animal be this kawaii??!!?!?!?

"They're pets. This one's name is Richard and he loves playing fetch. Don'tcha, boy?"

...Either

1) He already knows the names of the animals here or
2) He went out of his way to name them.

It's not really clear which would be weirder.

[sky_child]

"Can I hold him?"

the kawaiiness of this thread threatens to skyloftrocket

[cant_be_tamed]

Oh, it has already skyloftrocketed.

"Sure!" Be sure to hold the puppy like he was and not at arm's length like a huge newb.

[sky_child]

nope he's gonna hold the puppy at arm's length like a huge newb

deal w/ it

[cant_be_tamed]

Man whatever, it's not like the dog cares, even though his legs are kinda flailing in the air but other than that he is pretty cool.

They are going to just be stuck in the street and side-tracked by the dog, aren't they?

[sky_child]

Yeeeep.

Link puts the puppy down, though. It's awkward, holding an animal like that for a long period of time. Unless it's a remlit. It's always worth it for a remlit.

"You know, we only have one kind of pet in Skyloft."

[cant_be_tamed]

"Yeah? What's that?" He said as the puppy trailed behind him while they walked.

[sky_child]

"They're call remlits. They have these big, flappy ears they can fly with, like if you throw them in the water or over the side of Skyloft..."

Er.

"...sometimes you have to do that because they're wild at night. Like, they'll try to kill you."

[cant_be_tamed]

Thank you for adding that clarification at the end because

>Tossing animals off of a really high place

Yeah his reaction wasn't going to be pretty if he didn't know that they could fly, but the last part...

"...That last part ain't normal, you know that, right?"

Even if he's from a Magical Sky Island.

[sky_child]

"Maybe for you it isn't."

[cant_be_tamed]

Nooo, no no no no, you misunderstand.

"I mean for animals in general. Being tame in the day and trying to kill people at night. Animals don't do that just because. You sure there isn't something that's making them act up at night?"

~*Ranger Levels*~

[sky_child]

...

"I hadn't thought of that."

[cant_be_tamed]

Of course.

You haven't.

He doesn't say anything about that, though, just thinks about what might be the cause?

"Maybe you could look into it when you get back."

[sky_child]

"I should..." he says, suddenly deep in thought.

Wouldn't...wouldn't that explain why there are monsters at night? Whatever it is that's effecting the remlits?

[cant_be_tamed]

He nods as they walk along, willing to leave it at that. "I'm sure you'll figure it out." He'd offer to help, but that should be more Skyloft's deal.

Also he could literally ask the Remlits what was up and that would be waaaaay too easy, so.

On the plus side, they've made it to the central area of town without getting sidetracked for hours, so that's some kind of accomplishment right there.

[sky_child]

Well now they're about to get sidetracked again, kind of.

Link's staring at the fountain.

[cant_be_tamed]

And then he stares at Link staring at the fountain because...uh.

Sure, it's really nice-looking, but this seemed to be about more than just...about that.

He tries to get Skyloft's attention with a shoulder tap.

[sky_child]

"Huh?"

[cant_be_tamed]

"...You alright? You were spacing off there."

Not that he doesn't do the same thing sometimes, but...

[sky_child]

"Oh. I was...looking at the fountain..."

[cant_be_tamed]

"I can see that." Though he says that in a joking kind of way, he's still a little confused.

Like, he agrees that it's a really nice fountain, but still.

"The water comes from Zora's Domain, just a bit north of here." ...No, Snoopy, that isn't the thing he's wondering about.

[sky_child]

"Really?"

The question is markedly absent of the usual youthful wistfulness and wonder. He figures the water must come from somewhere. The thing of it is, he doesn't care.

[cant_be_tamed]

Well, he at least noticed that part.

"Ah...what's up?"

[sky_child]

"Nothing. Let's look at something else."

Unless Ordon decides to pry, that will give Link some time to come up with a decent way to ask why the fountain has the exact same symbol as the Temple of Time.

And why the sign of the Triforce is everywhere.
