[Ganondorf is kind of bored. Which isn't always a good thing. But you've lucked out, Elegante. He's not on the warpath. As a matter of fact, he's in a really good mood. So he's playing the piano. It's a festive melody, from a happier time in the Gerudo's history. And it's for Nabooru the enjoyment of the ship.

Well, what are you waiting for? Enjoy. Enjoy.]

You play very well ... I hear turmoil in your notes.

[She had heard some bad things about Ganon. But the way her mind works, it only took a little nudging to get her to see things from someone else's point of view. Maybe he wasn't just a villain.]

[A voice he doesn't recognize. He plays softly, so he can hear her. It might not be a good idea to trust your instincts, Kate.]

Do you?

From: [identity profile] ttlyisabard.livejournal.com
Yes, I do ... whether we know it or not, all but the most mechanical music translates ones feelings to sound. The way you play ... the song is beautiful and cheery ... but it's tinged with something else ... sorrow? Regret?

[She was smart. What she wasn't was wise.]

I have done nothing worthy of regret..

[Which isn't totally true. He regrets what happened to his people. He regrets being unable to protect them. And Nabooru...that's a whole 'nother can of worms right there.]

The heart knows things that the mind doesn't ... but maybe it's something else. I could be hearing wrong ... perhaps you're just longing for something in the past?

My name's Katherine ... you're Ganondorf, right? I've heard a little about you ...

[Mostly from Midna.]

I am. Good to know word of me travels.

[He stops playing that particular song and switches to something else. Something not from his culture. Maybe it'll make it harder for her to read him.]

Katherine. Lovely name.

Thank you ... which time do you come from, if you don't mind me asking ... there have been two separate groups of people from your world here ...

[Yeah, the new song was difficult to read. To her, it sounded mechanical, as if the playing lacked heart.]

I know Midna, if that answers your question.

[Or she might not know Midna. A shrug. Oh well if she doesn't.]

That's the later time ... I think ... it does.

[And it made her shy away a bit more.]

[Her tone changes. He notices it.]

She's told you about me.

Date: 2010-02-12 03:41 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ttlyisabard.livejournal.com
Only a little ... she didn't like you. She didn't tell me everything though ... I don't know what happened between you two.

[She hadn't been told too much about their universe.]

[A chuckle.]

Well her version of events is biased.

Everyone's is I guess ... I won't press it ...

[It's probably the thing he regrets.]

[He does regret not crushing the Twili into the ground when he had the chance.]

That's best.

So ... uh ... music!

[She strained to find something pleasant to talk about.]

Is that the library's piano? Or did you find another one?

Midna brought it to me. I'm not entirely sure where she got it from.

From: [identity profile] ttlyisabard.livejournal.com
Oh? You have one in your room? Impressive ...

From: [identity profile] ttlyisabard.livejournal.com
Yes ... though strings are my strong point. Any musician should be able to play a piano though ... I play at Sergei's most nights.

I will be sure to come hear you play then.

From: [identity profile] ttlyisabard.livejournal.com
Thank you. I've been trying to get more listeners ... but it seems the boat is mostly content with drinking and fighting ...

[She chuckled.]

It seems our dear Captain Redd has quite the barbaric rabble, hm?

[Pot, have you met my friend, Kettle?]

I can and do appreciate music.

Some ... I think it's the surroundings that puts everyone on edge ...

Fantastic! Hope to see you there.

[Oh that is so not going to work on her Ganondorf. She is still mad at you and thus IGNORING YOU. :|]

[You lie, it is super nostalgic for her and she wants to smack you for playing it >:||||]

[You're not the only one allowed to be nostalgic. The Gerudo were his people too >:|||||||]

[Naveen is nothing if not a music connoisseur-- even though the style is not his favorite.]

That is a very good song! Does it have a name?

Date: 2010-02-12 04:17 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] destinedtorule.livejournal.com
It does. In my people's language.

[And repeating it would hold no meaning to Naveen.]

I do not recognize your voice.

[This is his way of demanding your name.]

Ah! I am Prince Naveen. I am new, I suppose.

[He chuckles, amused at something unrelated.]
