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!"

Very well then. Link leads the other Link to a yellow tent to their left.

Facing its entrance, they are greeted by the very wide, disturbing blue eyes of Sparrot.

Link is not sure if he looks confused or if he's just staring.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

.....UM.

"...Hi." After actually getting comfortable and waiting for a fortune...and after being stared at for an uncomfortable amount of time, Sparrot finally comes to the conclusion of...being unable to see a goddamned thing.

He can't really be blamed, though, since that's what happens when you're supposed to make time your bimptch three ways till Sunday. Still, there isn't much to make out aside from a path that's very hazy and branching and looping every which way possible and it's very frustrating!! :'(

Link just looks guiltier and guiltier the more his fortune is trying to be put in a coherent way.

[sky_child]

Link just. Pats him on the arm. He politely declines when Sparrot offers to read his future, and moves the other Link along towards the potions.

"I don't think he can see that far into the future," he whispers.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"...It's okay." He just...didn't think his future would be that confusing.

The good news is they weren't told about the possible future where he dies.

"Maybe it's just really hard to see." Come to think of it, Rauru did call him the Hero of Time, but he...doesn't fully get what that means, at least not yet.

[sky_child]

"Maybe. Maybe it's all because of that Canondoor guy."

Yes, Canondoor.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"...Ganondorf."

The word you are looking for is Ganondorf.

[sky_child]

"Yeah him."

What the fuck kind of name is Ganonforf anyway???

No matter. He's hovering over the vat of red liquid now with an empty bottle. Recovery items first! Always a must...

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

A Gerudo name, duh!

He looks at the different potion vats with interest before remembering about the butterflies.

"So which potion where the butterflies for?"

[sky_child]

"For this," he says, reaching into his (rather generously sized) wallet to hand 20 rupees to Luv.

"See that guy over there?" he asks, pointing to the thin man crouched over a large cauldron, baby clinging to his back. "He infuses the potions his wife makes. He's really good at it. I just...wonder why he never asks me where the bugs come from..."

And now he's going to look contemplatively at the vat of, um, Hylia colored potion???

Link is free to peruse the other potions around him: the green one, the purple one, and the blue one! Luv will certainly have a great sales pitch for each of them, even if she is giving Fairy Boy a scrutinizing look.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Blue potions! He knows about blue potions!! Oh, but green would be useful too, he can never find any that he can keep in a bottle.

"I'll have the kind that fills up magic, please," he says before Luv can even say anything, and of course he kinda said that a little loudly, o-oops.

[sky_child]

Link, who had moved over to Bertie's cauldron to begin upgrading the hear potion, gives the other Link a questioning look before resuming business with Bertie.

Luv just blinks, hands on her hips. "If you say so, dear. That'll be 50 rupees. By the way, what's the deal with the hat and the clothes? Trying to follow in this one's footsteps?" She jabs a thumb in the direction of Master Shortpants.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Oh that's pretty good...less expensive than the Blue Potion, at any rate, and he reaches for his money and an empty bottle.

"No, these clothes are for the forest. It's probably a coincidence." Hmm, well, they do has a different cut to them, and it doesn't look like he's wearing any armor underneath it. Noooot looking like something a knight would wear.

"I still like him, though, we're friends." Nods sagely.

[sky_child]

Luv looks at him blankly. "What's a for--"

"Hahaha! That's just what he names the island he's from, isn't that right Mr. Buddy Guy?" says Link, having dashed from Bertie's cauldron to stop his friend from making any more blunders.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

Well it wasn't a blunder, he was gonna say that it was on an "island" but yeah okay. He just nods along with whatever the other Link says.

[sky_child]

"We don't know what a forest is, remember?" he whispers, pointedly ignoring Rupin, who is (somewhat literally) angling for their attention.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Right, I...knew that," he says a bit sheepishly as he takes what he think is his bottled magic potion and hands over his money.

Well, at least he knows how shops work.

[sky_child]

As the other Link pays Luv, Link of Skyloft looks at Rupin directly, a thin, terse smile on his face.

When the other Link's done paying, he promptly pulls him out of the Bazaar.

"Did you get everything you wanted?"

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He...looks at Skyloft, then back into the Bazaar, then back at Skyloft in a really confused way.

"...Yes?" Link.

u ok?

[sky_child]

"Sorry. That guy creeps me out."

Euch.

"Anyway, anything else around here catch your eye?"

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"Uh, hmm." Gosh everything looks so colorful and nice oh hey giant fucking statue right over there!!!

"...That." He says, pointing to the Statue of the Goddess.

[sky_child]

"Oh, the statue?" he replies, voice suddenly quiet. "We can go there. Sure."

He doesn't seem too enthusiastic about it. But that doesn't stop him from walking towards it, anyway, and beckoning the other boy to follow.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

He...wants to ask what's wrong, but Skyloft will probably say when he wants to, so he follows, just observing.

"...It's alright if we go see the other islands too." It's okay, really!

[sky_child]

"...we'd have to get on my bird," he says throwing a look over his shoulder. He doesn't quite look the other boy in the eye--and he's still walking towards the statue, now ascending the stairs that connect it to the Knight Academy.

[ocarina_of_rhyme]

"...Bird?" Whoaaaa whoa whoa whoa, hold on, they use birds to......well yeah, that'd make sense.

He's about to say that that's no problem at all but the other Link is walking ahead of him so he runs up the stairs to catch up.

[sky_child]

He'll explain it all later. Maybe after he figures out why he bothered coming here, as they're now standing in the wide open courtyard before the statue. After he had collected all the pieces of the stone tablet, after--

There just hasn't been a reason to come here, is all.

And now that he's here, he can't bring himself to look at much more than the grass in front of him.
