I see. We both have weaknesses. I can admit I have some.

[She pats his arm in a good nature. He can be sweet when he wants to be.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Oh? So you've perceived some weakness in me? Do tell.

[An act, Zelda. Mostly It's an act.]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

I am assuming we have weaknesses. Well, you do. I already know I do. I was just guessing for you.

[She laughs a little, though, for him.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[And he doesn't fail to notice it. She's laughing? How...odd.]

And you believe having weakness is laughable?

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I believe denying that you have weakness is a bit amusing.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Oh I see.

[So she's laughing at him. He doesn't like it when people laugh at him.]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[She knows that look.]

I did not mean you specifically. Please do not take something I say like that.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Of course not, Princess. I have a thick skin.

[Lies]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[She begins to pout, then straightens herself up. She doesn't seem to have a good reply. Once again, she's gotten too comfortable, which means needing to save face. Or something.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

You are quiet.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

I was thinking.

[She pauses and gestures ahead of them, to the thicket of trees. Nothing like the trees she remembers in Hyrule.]

Reflecting, if you will.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He sees the thicket and glances at her.]

Thinking of home?

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

A little, yes. Many things in combination, but a bit of home. It would be a falsehood for me to state that I did not miss it. My place is on Hyrule's throne. We are still looking for a way to get off of this ship. I am beginning to see the true colors of those aboard.

It is frightening. Enlightening, but very frightening. You likely do not understand, so silly me for even attempting to speak of it with you.

[It doesn't help when those she would have spoken with have left.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.]

What I find silly, Princess, is your dismissal of a listening ear.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

...I wasn't...

[No. She supposes she was. Her head inclines.]

My apologies. I did not think you would care.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[She's right. But he's good at pretending.]

Just talk, Princess. Tell me what is on your mind.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

I... Well...
I sort of already did.

[Zelda could only humiliate herself further to really talk about Jak. She doesn't want Ganondorf to know about that at all.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Not to mention it would only rile him up.

But he doesn't reply. Instead he looks thoughtful]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

You were looking for specific details...?

[She eyes him carefully. She knows that look too.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Hm? No. Your answer was sufficient.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[Is she worried? A little bit.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Fine. Why do you ask?

[A glance at her. What's prompted this?]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Something just seemed... off for a moment. I'm sorry if I shouldn't be asking.

[She pats his arm gently.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Your concern is noted. And appreciated.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[Zelda lightens a little at that and she nods to him.]

Tell me. What is your favorite place on the ship? There are so many pretty places to go. I'm sure you have one you favor over the others.

[Ganondorf, this is your cue to take Zelda's optimism hint.]
