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.

Oh man, this is actually a really good idea?? He'll have to try this whenever they can go to Skyloft, but anyway, just play along...

"Yeah, I was kinda surprised when I saw him in town, but he's a pretty cool guy." He said as if this totally wasn't a big deal and he's being super humble about it. Telma just snickers.

"Well, that'll happen..." And then she looks back at Skyloft, holding out her hand. "Pleasure to meet you, then. I'm Telma, this is my bar..." A pause...

"What's your name, then?"

[sky_child]

Well, can't say Link, can he?

Uh

Uh

Uhhh

"Quailiss!"

wow thats a really shitty name

[cant_be_tamed]

Yes, but at least it's not a weird one like "Link". But still, Ordon just looks at him like "really?" before going along with it.

"...Yeah, Quailiss."

Meanwhile, Telma just looks between the two of them before shrugging it off. "Well, feel free to make yourself at home. ...To a point, anyway."

Yeah he's nooooot officially part of the group, so no just hanging out and not buying anything.

Like this is still a business, come on.

[sky_child]

"Thank you, Miss Telma," he says. "Is there a menu anywhere?"

See he's already being nice and sociable and a good consumer!

[cant_be_tamed]

"Sure thing." She reaches for where the main menu normally is while Ordon wanders off to the back room.

Except the menu isn't there, which makes her double-take, then stare across the room and...there's apparently a weird guy in one corner hogging it. Telma just gives a tsk and reaches under the counter and pulls out spare menu, handing it over.

"Aha...let me know when you're done looking, okay?"

[sky_child]

"Alright. Thanks!"

And he's all geared up and ready to delve into the menu when he notices his buddy is gone! Well, he can't be out here alone!

So now Ordon has a, er, fan hovering around him, while perusing the menu.

--and then he has a, er, fan, tugging at his sleeve.

Because what the fuck are these moon runes???

[cant_be_tamed]

In the middle of talking with Rusl, when suddenly.

"...Hmm? What's up?" Can't decide or something?

[sky_child]

"I can't read this."

He jabs a finger into the menu, at those accursed Hylian Moon Runes.

[cant_be_tamed]

...Uh. Well, he knows he can read, obviously, so he just kind of...takes him aside to go over the menu and so no one overhears why he can't read the menu.

"...Really? Huh." Oh well, he'll just go over what's on there. It's pretty basic, though, mostly drinks, some soup, some meat dishes...

Least he's not asking how Shortcake can't read it...

[sky_child]

"Sorry. Your writing...it's quite different from ours..."

But, with the help of his dear descendant, he is able to figure out what he wants to order!

Some moments later, he is...taking a seat at a table that's not where the Gang is, because he feels like there's some important things going on there or something, and anyway he might be interrupting.

[cant_be_tamed]

"Ohhhh." Okay, that makes sense.

Anyway, after Skyloft takes his seat, Ordon doesn't really hang out with the gang for long (aside from checking on Rusl, of course) and heads over to were his ancestor's sitting, taking a seat.

"Hah, sorry. Should have figured the writing would have some changes to it."

[sky_child]

He arches his eyebrows. Even though they are already arched.

"Some changes? It's hardly the same language!" he notes with an amused grin.

[cant_be_tamed]

...Wait a minute, so uh...

"How are we talking to each other, then?" Unless it's...just the writing that looks different?

[sky_child]

dood

ur like

blowin his mind

"I think the writing is different..."

[cant_be_tamed]

"Oh, so...just the writing? ...Weird."

Oh well, he shrugs it off and stretches a bit...

"Don't mind them, this is where they hang out all the time. See the guy in the helmet over there?"

[sky_child]

"Yeah?"

[cant_be_tamed]

"That's Rusl. His family took me in when I was little, says he found me wandering around Faron Woods one day." Which he...can't remember that much of, but anyway...

"He's pretty much my dad."

[sky_child]

"Mmm..."

Parents.

Yeah.

[cant_be_tamed]

"...Ah. Sorry."

He just really loves Rusl lots and that tends to cause bragging to happen, oops.

[sky_child]

"About what?"

[cant_be_tamed]

"Oh, uh...I dunno, you just seemed kind of out of it all of a sudden."

[sky_child]

He pokes at his food.

"Don't worry about it."

[cant_be_tamed]

He is going to worry about it because worrying is an integral part of his existence.

"...If you say so." But he's not dumb enough to push the subject, so he changes it instead.

"The guy over there in the glasses is Shad." You know.

That guy.

[sky_child]

Peeering over--

"Mmm."

Link's expression is indescribable. He wouldn't be able to tell you what he's feeling, either. He's just wondering...is it worth it to go over there and interrogate that guy for everything he knows about Mystical Sky Land?

[cant_be_tamed]

He glances at Shad, then back at Skyloft...

"What's up?"
