[The voice sounds remarkably younger. Prince Ganondorf just wants to know where his sexy harem went to.]

I am not entirely sure how I've ended up here. But if anyone could kindly tell me where I am, I would be most grateful.

Hm. Let's go up.

[He follows after her, careful to keep pace with her.]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She nods, then starts up the stairs.]

So...tell me, Prince Ganondorf...what is your home like, then?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

We live in the desert. Nothing like Hyrule.

[Bitterness, what?]

Days are usually sweltering and nights are not much better. But we are happy and content there.

[Well most of them are. 8|]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She glances back over her shoulder at him, but doesn't comment on what she thought she heard in his voice.]

I confess I have not yet had the opportunity to visit your homeland. I would like to, at some point.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He smiles. There's is no bitterness here, Princess. You're just hearing things.]

I think you would like it. If you do have an opportunity to visit, I would like to show you around.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[Hm. She must be imagining things. She continues on, glancing around as she moves. There must be something other than residential decks here somewhere, though the higher they go, the more it appears to be rooms.]

I would like that very much, indeed. When we do return home, I would like to personally escort you around Hyrule, myself. If you...do not mind, that is.y

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Yes, I would enjoy that very much. I think your tour would be much more entertaining than the one my escorts had planned. I'd like a break from my studies every now and then.

[Ganondorf pauses, and moves to open a door. Why it's the library. It's huge! Ganondorf has never seen so many books before.]

Your Grace, look at this.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.] I think that I am inclined to agree; sometimes my studies are...painfully slow.

[Especially the ones on etiquette and prim and properness and ugh.

She stops in her movements, and trails after him, eyes widening in surprise as she rests her hands on the door, too.]

By Nayru... This could compare to the castle library.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Would you look around or move on? I'm sure neither of us came here to study. The library isn't going anywhere, I'm sure.

[He holds the door open for her anyway, since, it's the polite thing to do. And he was told to be polite to her.]

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

We can move on. Studying is certainly the least of my concerns at the moment. [She backs out of the way so he can close the door, letting her hands fall to clasp in front of her.]

Continue up, then?

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[The door closes and he continues on. He's really enjoying this. And all this time he thought Hylians were arrogant and awful people because they live in such a beautiful country.]

Let's continue then. What is your home like?

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

It is...beautiful. The people are friendly, and the land is never ending. [She misses it already, even if she is having a lovely time. She glances over at him and smiles.]

It will be a great honor to show you around personally.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

An honor for me as well, Princess.

[He wants to see it even more now, after that. Really isn't fair. Why are the Hylians blessed with such good fortune while his people suffer in the desert? What made them so special? But that's for another time, Ganondorf. Let's focus on the situation at hand.]

I have never seen the ocean before. Shall we go to the top deck?

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes widen a little - she's never seen the ocean before either, and as prim and proper as she's trying to be (her father would have expected it of her, after all), she can't hide all of her excitement.]

I think that is a wonderful idea. I've never seen it either. Let's go.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[Her enthusiasm is catching. It takes a deal of restraint, but he manages to take the steps one at a time, like a proper gentleman.

But the minute he emerges on the top deck, he smiles at the sight of the endless expanse of water.]

It's...so pretty.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[Once she makes it to the top of the deck, Zelda loses her composure, and darts to the railing, wrapping her fingers on it and peering over the edge.]

It's beautiful! Just look at it!

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He watches her breeze past him with a smile. Maybe the Hylians aren't all bad. Especially if they're all like her. Maybe. He eases up to her and stands at her side.]

I've never seen so much water before in my life. Hard to believe this sort of thing exists.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

Now have I.

[Once she feels him near, she grasps his arm lightly and points.]

It looks as though the horizon never ends. This is...simply amazing.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[He had opened his mouth to speak, but her hand on his arm stopped him. He wasn't expecting it and hoped she couldn't see him blushing.]

It is.

[He leans on the railing.]

I could stay here forever. Just stand here and watch the water.

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

It is...very soothing. [Realizing she had grasped him, her cheeks turn pink and she drops her hand.]

Forgive me. I do not mean...to be so forward.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Think nothing of it, Princess.

[And he even waves a dismissive hand to assure her. Really, it's not like he liked it or anything.]

Do you know where the ship is going?

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

[She lets her hands cling to the railing again as she shakes her head.]

No. I have heard nothing about the destination. I am still...not sure how I arrived here.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[He's quiet for a moment. He doesn't think they've been kidnapped, right? He was with his guardians when he found himself on this strange ship, right? How could they have ended up here when there was no time for either of them to be taken? Is it some kind of sorcery?

Ugh, it's all so confusing to think about.]

Well, at least we are not alone then?

[scionofwisdom.livejournal.com]

There is that. [She smiles over at him.]

I admit that I am rather glad I met you in this setting, as opposed to any...formal one. This is preferable, in my opinion.

[destinedtorule.livejournal.com]

[And he returns her smile.]

It is. No pretenses. Just you and I. I like it that way.
