[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.]

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.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

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.

[ttlyisabard.livejournal.com]

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.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

I know Midna, if that answers your question.

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

[ttlyisabard.livejournal.com]

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

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

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Her tone changes. He notices it.]

She's told you about me.

[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.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[A chuckle.]

Well her version of events is biased.

[ttlyisabard.livejournal.com]

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

[It's probably the thing he regrets.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

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

That's best.

[ttlyisabard.livejournal.com]

So ... uh ... music!

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

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

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

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

[ttlyisabard.livejournal.com]

Oh? You have one in your room? Impressive ...

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Do you play?

[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.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

I will be sure to come hear you play then.

[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.]

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

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.

[ttlyisabard.livejournal.com]

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

Fantastic! Hope to see you there.
