[Ganondorf did not like leaving Zelda alone, after her death. The fact that she seemed so trouble when he left simply didn't sit right with him. She didn't tell him to come back. But she didn't tell him to stay away either. So when he passes her room, he lingers by the door just for a minute.]

[Had he heard correctly? It took a minute for him to react. But when he does, he turns to look at her.]

Your allies would not approve.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[Her voice is level, and face impassive.]

Likely not, no.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He reaches a hand out, to brush away her hair.]

Then it will remain between us.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't flinch away.]

I think that would likely be best, for now.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Well then. What happens now, Zelda?

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

I-

[She pauses. Zelda isn't used to not know what to do.]

I am...uncertain.

[He folds his arms over his chest.]

There are other things that require my attention at the moment. Though, if you wish to remain in a room with a door knob [He holds his keycard out to her.] you are a welcomed guest.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[She hesitantly takes it.]

...That...would be best for now, I think.

[She swallows.]

Thank you.

[A nod of the head and he's turning to go, but stops. His actions are rather swift and oddly graceful, considering how big he is. But he whirls around in what looks like a single fluid motion and presses a kiss to Zelda's cheek.]

Do I have permission now?

[HOPEFULLY SHE WON'T BLOW HIM UP WHILE HE'S WALKING AWAY, OKAY.]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She stiffens a little, but almost immediately relaxes. It's still in the middle of the night and she's slightly delirious due to the fact that she's overly exhausted and did not sleep well last night and obviously not tonight.

He gets a single nod.]

...Yes.

[He has it for now.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Her answer earns a smirk from him and he leans down to kiss her. After a moment, he pulls away.]

You are exhausted. You should rest.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She accepts it - and will likely wonder what she was thinking in the morning - then nods.]

I should, yes. [She tilts her head; She knows where his room is, she's been in there before at least, [< so she knows where she is going.]

I will not occupy your quarters longer than necessary. The issue with the knob should be fixed within twenty four hours or so. [Things seemed to repair themselves around here.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Ganondorf nods. This was going to take some getting used to.]

I understand, Zelda.

[Oh wait, is he allowed to call her Zelda? Hm. He'll call her 'princess' in public to keep up pretenses.]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[...Definitely going to take some getting used to. She may have to rethink everything and reevaluate in the morning when her head has cleared and he is not standing in her room while she's all mussed and in nothing but a dressing gown.]

Then I will leave you to it, while I gather what few things I will need.
