[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.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He was still surprised by her kindness. To think he needed comfort and solace? What had he said or done to prompt this change?]

You are kind.
