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.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He's silent for a long while before answering.]

I am partial to deck thirteen. The flowers.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

What a coincidence. That is my favorite as well. I am surprised to hear you say that, however. It strikes me as odd that you would like soft and delicate things.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

...

[He pauses.]

It was a promise.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[She blinks at him.]

...A promise, Ganondorf?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He looks away, when he realizes what he has said.]

It means nothing.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

[She's skeptical.]

...Hardly. Promises are beautiful things. They can mean the world to some. You should never think of them as nothing...

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

It means nothing.

[Because the person he made the promise to is gone.]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Ganondorf...

[She inclines her head and sighs softly.]

I think flowers are beautiful. I will bring you flowers whenever you like. My room is usually filled with them.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

You will bring me flowers...?

[He's surprised, honestly. Shouldn't it be the other way around?]

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Yes. If you would like. The flowers add a little something to our stay here, don't you think?

[Zelda loves flowers. A lot.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. You may, if you wish.

[oblique-wisdom.livejournal.com]

Flowers are good for nurturing one's soul. They bring comfort and solace. You need some of that. I do as well.
