Link Visiting Places: SKY WORL EDITION

[sky_child]

Link had left the bar to make some arrangements--namely, making sure that the door lead him to Skyloft, rather than the Lanayru Caves--or the Lanayru Gorge. Wouldn't that have been confusing to the old dragon, walking out with another human?

Not that the people of Skyloft wouldn't be any less confused by the Link. Skyloft was a pretty tight-knit community for such a large island, and it'd be hard, explaining the other boy in a convincing fashion. He's hoping he can explain it away by saying he's a fan from one of the outlying islands. But he has his doubts about that...

Doubts he will set aside for the time being. It's time to wake the other boy up!

So he's knock, knock, knocking on his door.

"Hey, Link? It's me...Link!"

...Skyloft, no. No.

You just told a nine year old that there's no one ruling this place. i.e. there is no one governing this place, therefore there are no laws here.

...Not that he kept to those laws very well in the first place, I mean this is someone who literally robs graves with nary a fuck given. When he was in Hyrule.

What is he going to do in Skyloft?

...The answer to this is "wander away," apparently. Good going.

[sky_child]

Man those damn butterflies still find a way to evade him even when he locks in on them and just

um

Where did Link go?

He almost calls out for him, but then, well. He'd feel a little awkward about that...

The question is, which way did he go? Did he go up the stairs to the Bazaar, or up the path towards the large deck?

Since he can't see Link up the path, he's going to assume the Bazaar.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

The Bazaar is actually a pretty safe bet because the decorations distracted him enough to where he didn't just go into someone's house, thankfully.

He's there in the plaza, just staring at the huge building.

[sky_child]

He lets out a sigh of relief when he sees Link from a distance.

And when he's right next to him he lets out, "Don't wander off like that! It's dangerous! You could've fallen off the edge!"

>(

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He just turns to look down at him and says, "I know how to not fall off a ledge."

He's an adult a "kid", not a baby.

[sky_child]

"In Hyrule."

Son, you have no idea how easy it is to fall off of Skyloft.

Nnnno idea.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He just looks at Skyloft, then looks at the solid ground he's on in the plaza, and then looks back at him, spreading his hands in a "ta-daaah" fashion, as if to say, "Really? Did you really think that I'd go anywhere near anything that wasn't solid ground while we are literally in the sky????"

Really, that's like basic logic. And this store thing looks pretty, but still.

[sky_child]

so

who wants to have a staring competition?

because shortcake's eyes are ready

:|

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Listen.

You're not his dad, okay.

Hell you aren't even his granddad, so...!!!!

"...What were the butterflies for?" He...was going to ask this before he left, but...Skyloft was looking pretty busy and serious about the whole thing.

[sky_child]

"They were for Bertie, for potion infusions."

Duh.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Okay why is he sounding so...cold? That's not like him...

"What are...um...why are you mad?"

You seem a bit mad, bro.

[sky_child]

It's actually quite like him. You just haven't seen him mad before!

But thankfully, the question does help melt the ice.

"...please don't run off like that again. Okay?"

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

But...he still isn't...seriously, what's...?

"...You looked busy, so I thought I'd look around." What is the big deal here?

[sky_child]

"Look. I know you don't go falling off of ledges, but there's knights patrolling the skies for a reason. They'll catch you if you fall, but sometimes--" He turns his head slightly to the side, his eyes looking somewhat lost--and downcast. "Sometimes they don't catch everybody."

He looks back to Link. "I don't want that happening to you."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

...O...kay? It...maybe that's how his mom died? It doesn't seem all that dangerous aside from the falling thing, so...hmm.

"Yeah, I was gonna stay near buildings..." He finally nods after thinking over what to say. "Alright..."

[sky_child]

Ho-kay. Relieved sigh, relaxing of shoulders, all that stuff.

"So I guess you wanna see the Bazaar, huh?"

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Uh-huh. I've only seen some in Castle Town, but they weren't that big."

Lots of people, though, and the crowds kept shoving him away while he was trying to look...

[sky_child]

"Oh, you're talking about the carts and stuff, right?"

Yes because Hyrule Castle Town in the Era of Twilight is EXACTLY THE SAME as it was in the Era of the Hero of Time.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Yeah! I never got to see why everyone was really excited."

Adults are weird.

[sky_child]

"Well, c'mon!"

Besides, he needs to get some stuff from there, anyway.

The crowd inside the building isn't quite as bustling as the crowd of Castle Town. That's to be expected, what with Skyloft's population being smaller than that of Hyrule. But it's certainly lively, with all sorts of colored lanterns scattering the place, and all the merchants about clamoring for attention.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

...omg

Where does he go first??? *______*

[sky_child]

He can go to his right to catch some grub, or go to his left to check out some textiles, or he can go straight ahead for the Obligatory Shops What Help Link On His Quest booths: the fortune teller in the bright yellow robe sitting beneath his tent, the repair man tinkering away behind the counter, the bored item check girl staring off in the distance, the eager-to-please Happy Mask Salesman gear peddler waiting (im)patiently for a customer, and the potions saleswoman boasting of her products' marvelous effects.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

...He'll just.

Follow the other Link.

This seems like a good idea for now until he decides what he wants to try first!

[sky_child]

The other Link is going to go to the tables at their right. He hasn't eaten yet, and he knows the other guy hasn't, either, seeing as how he just woke up.

"Take a seat. I'm going to order some food."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Link, you did it.

You found a way to get Beefy McManchild to listen to you with little to no fuss and that is food oh gods he is sitting down immediately!!!
