[Well, thanks to Midna, Ganondorf now has a piano in his room. And he can be heard playing a rather haunting melody. He doesn't know his communicator is on.]

[She can't decide if she should be aggravated or touched. It's true. Only members of the royal family should know it. He could only be considered 'royal' if they included his ability to shove his way into his position as Hyrule's ruler.]

...Is that so.

[It's not really a question.]

Touching perhaps, however... I have uncertain feelings on how you can play it. And play it well at that.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

It's all a matter of practice.

[And he speaks like it is the simplest thing in the world. Nevermind he intentionally eavesdropped to learn the mystical properties the song has. He never learned all of it's secrets, unfortunately. For him at least.]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

I like to think there is something more to it than just playing something 'well'. People who do not appreciate music or understand it have no place in playing it. Music should not be empty. Music is...

[She pauses to think about what it is she wants to say.]

Music is more than simply notes inscribed on parchment. It is more than sound coming from strings or through holes. Do you understand what I mean to say?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

I do.

[He is silent for a moment before glancing over at Zelda.]

Do you play, Princess? [And he slides over, making room for her.]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[For a moment, she simply stares in surprise.]

...An ocarina, of course...

[Hesitantly she rises to join him, unsure even of what it is she's doing. A hand cautiously rests upon the keys before pressing one down.]

It is not as though I have not seen one before... I would not say I am well-versed.

[He sat silent for a moment before he begins playing the scale slowly and carefully.]

Would you like to learn? It is simple enough.

[What would her father say? If she accepts, does it make Zelda a traitor? She's not in Hyrule. She can't help her people or anyone back there if she's aboard the ship. The Captain doesn't release his people often--if at all.

She's at a stalemate.]

You intend to teach me?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.

Always questioning. That was something that never changed about her no matter what the time period, so it would seem.]

If you wish. Or I'm sure there's someone on board who can teach you, if you would truly like to learn.

[Darn that inquisitive nature of hers...

She stares up at him curiously. Is he retracting his offer? What exactly does he want from her? Besides the obvious, of course, which she will never willingly hand over to him.]

Are you implying you believe I would be a troublesome pupil, and therefore are incapable of handling me?

[She's not sure if she's even serious about that.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

I never said anything of that kind.

[He sounds amused.]

You always jump to conclusions in my regard. I only meant that you seem to have a difficult time trusting me. So you are under no obligation to accept my offer if you wanted to find another teacher in my stead.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[He's got her there. She doesn't like that. Her variety of emotions have made it a little difficult to cope appropriately. Silently she holds the others aboard for this turn of events.]

...Should I be trusting you? No, you may not do anything for as long as we are here, however... I am a bit ridden by anxiety to sit with you this way.

[Never mind that she considered it only days before he arrived.]

By allowing you to teach me, I can keep an eye on you. I accept your invitation, Ganondorf.
