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!"

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!!!

[sky_child]

Food works every time!

He returns with two bowls of soup (the people of Skyloft sure love their soup), giving a nervous glance and wave to Dovos, who's staring at the other Link with much bewilderment.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He also waves to the guy who's staring at him, hello there sir!

[sky_child]

Link turns quickly towards his friend. If he stares at Dovos for too long, he will start to ask questions. And Link does not want to answer questions.

"Sorry. I'm still trying to think of a way to explain you to others..."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

...Hah? Why would that be hard?

"Just say I'm from the surface. Oh, and everyone wears clothes kinda like mine where I'm from, so it's okay."

...Uh. He...yeah, that's gonna be awkward. In the meantime, he takes his soup and starts to drain his bowl.

[sky_child]

"I don't think that's gonna work...not everyone here knows I've been to the surface."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He stops right in the middle of drinking his soup and gives the other Link a really confused stare, thinking it over.

"...Are you the only one who's been down there?"

[sky_child]

"I'm the only one who's come back."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

...He becomes real quiet and sets his bowl down.

"I won't tell anyone..." That is, if he doesn't want people to know or needs to keep this a secret for some reason.

[sky_child]

"I could say you're from one of the more distant islands. There's plenty of people who live there that never come here. And for all they know, that's where I've been going."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He nods at this story, apparently satisfied.

"Kay. Do you have forests here? I remember having to tell somebody what a forest was, once."

Which was a really weird moment for him, but to be totally fair, he was explaining this to a Goron.

[sky_child]

He's lived here all his life and he still needs to think about that.

"...we don't."

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Huh, that's just so weird.

"Hmm, least you actually have plants and trees and stuff," he says before he casually starts chugging his soup again.
