[Ugh he sounds more annoyed than anything.]

Really could not leave well enough alone, could you?

[Exasperated sigh.]

Nabooru? Are you all right?

[No, he's not asking about you, Zelda. He's still mad at you >:|]

I can come to you, if you'd prefer?

1/2

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

That's probably a better idea.

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

...

Be careful.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Since she's only two doors down, he's there in almost no time at all. Knock, knock, ex-on again off again girlfriend.]

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

[Don't call her that >:C

...she answers and hushes him inside.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[So that means they're back on again? :D?

He steps inside the room and turns around to look at her. She seems okay. Everything seems in place. Good.]

We'll be much better off once we're able to return to Hyrule. I'll go out tonight to get something to eat for us. I've a bit of food left in my room.

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

I only know as much as I've heard over the communicators.

[She bolts the door and steps away to flop back onto her bed, looking a little frazzled. The talk over the comms is distressing.]

What exactly is going on? Do you know?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, the passengers have released whatever it was moaning for help for the past week. Apparently, the child was dangerous and should have been left alone. But of course they were too idiotic to realize that.

...

[She sighs and flops back onto the bed, to stare up at the ceiling.]

This boat is ridiculous. I ask myself daily why I've been damned to come to this place.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Because the Goddesses have blessed us.

[Just like the blessed them to live in that forsaken desert. Yay sarcasm.

He fishes out his comm and makes sure to turn it on. So far no activity on the IDs that matter to him. That may or may not be a good sign. He makes a mental note to ask about Lily later. But for now, he'll just leave it on to listen.]

Do you require anything?

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

[She glances away from the ceiling towards him, and hesitates to answer.]

No.

[After another pause, she sits up and gives him an enigmatic stare.]

Come here.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He regards her curiously, but moves over to her anyway.]

Yes?

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

[When he comes close enough, she puts her hands on his shoulders and looks him over, searching.]

You're not hurt, right? Have you fought anything at all?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I've been avoiding this fiasco since it began.

[He's surprised by this line of questioning.]

...Were you concerned about me?

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

[That question makes her stop, and he gives him an angry glare as she thinks for a moment.

'Were you concerned about me." The question lights a tiny flame of annoyance in the back of her mind.

Well. If this is meant to be a different Gannodorf...

Gritting her teeth, she raises one hand and swipes at his cheek, slapping him with a stinging smack.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[His head turns from the force of the slap. God what is up with these women hitting him? He chuckles then turns back to look at her.]

I would advise you not to do that again.

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

And why? Are you threatening me?

[She watches him intently. She's testing you, Ganondorf.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

I am telling you not to strike me again.

[If she wants to take it as a threat, that's her business.]

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[It's interesting. She expected him to retaliate for sure. Nabooru wants to know how far she can take this, just how patient he actually is now, but maybe it's best to push her luck later.

She flops back onto the bed and crosses her arms to keep her bare skin warm.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Nabooru will find that he's calmed down so much from when he was younger. That doesn't mean testing him is a good idea either, though.

He seats himself in a chair. What was left for them to discuss?]

Nabooru. There is something I wish to ask you.

[jewelofthesands.livejournal.com]

[Curiously glances at him]

...sure. Go ahead.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Our people. How are they?
