And so legends are repeated.

The boy takes a deep breath, twisting part of his clothing in his fists. He's... rather nervous about this, frankly. He’s waited patiently for Sheik to be ready but it could go very badly  no matter how long he waits.

"I... um, you can't tell anyone, ok? Not even if it's... if it's Him and he orders you to tell him."

He looks up, eyes focused on Sheik's face- but then his expression goes from serious to a slight, uneven and ever so subtly bitter smile. "...But I don't think you really say much, right? You're really... um, really strong. And you... you wouldn't tell the guards."

Either way, though, he shakes himself, drops his gaze back to the ground, and fiddles with his bag.

"So, I'm planning... I- um-" another pause. He takes a deep breath, and exhales; "I'm gonna run away. I want to- I want- you. You to... run too." He's got another fistful of his own robe again, and his knuckles are bone-white thanks to his grip.

“Would you... help? If I did that? I know it's bad, but I don't want to be here and if you can leave too then I thought-..."

He hums, softly, and shrugs.

"I thought maybe... I just... I wanted somebody else. To- to go with."

   “Thank you,” Sheik murmured as he used his good arm to reach through the bars for the water and bandages. It was going to be a pain to stitch  everything back together, but if this got infected, he would lose the arm.

Zelda isn't the only one in these ruins. With the influence of Ganon's Malice gone from the land, travelling has become far safer, and that means someone like Aaron has far more freedom to go literally anywhere he's physically capable of travelling. This includes places such as old ruins that were formerly either buried under Malice, or surrounded by monsters/Guardians in such a way that it would be impossible to enter.

As it is, he's trying to examine what seems to be something carved into the stonework of a room. He has to mind the hole in the floor to his left, of course, but he's far enough away he's not likely to fall. Instead of going near the hole, he pulls out his journal from the satchel slung over his shoulder, opening it up and picking up his pencil. As he thinks he twirls the tool around his fingers-

And off it goes flying. Out of his grip... towards the hole. In the hole. Down the slope.

That pencil's kind of his favorite.

"Oh, shoot," he hisses, and stuffs his journal back into his bag as he rushes to the edge of the hole. He can see it, vaguely, at the bottom, and there's enough rocks lining the way down he should be able to climb down and back up safely. There's also water down there from what he can tell, sort of giving against the slope like an overgrown puddle, but he's also pretty sure Lizalfos are no longer so much of a danger as they used to be. Down he goes then.

But once he reaches the bottom- there is, in fact, something moving in the water, down a bend in the path. An orangish light reflects off the water. Aaron picks up his pencil, puts it in his bag, and reaches for his bow.

...However, as the source of the noise comes closer, he thinks, most monsters don't carry torches, now do they? And monsters certainly don't look like ordinary people, who are normal save for being a bit waterlogged. His eyes go wide.

"What are you doing down here?" And then far more pressing questions- "Have you found anything while you're here? Oh, but- are you hurt at all?"

@shadow-from-the-sands

The floor had seemed sound enough when she’d tested it with a toe, but, partway through the room, it had given way, and she’d taken a rather undignified tumble down a slope of debris, into the stagnant water flooding the floor below.

Fortunately, the worst damage was to her pride; she’d spluttered up out of the waist-deep water a little bruised, but largely unhurt.

Still, it was a long way up, and, at the top of the incline, the pile became too steep and unstable to climb back out.

With a little hiss of “Damn!” she reached for her pack, fishing out torch and tinderbox, and sloshing to the edge of the debris fall to sit and light it.

Clearly, she was going to have to find another way up.

Tucking her spare supplies away and wading back out into the water, she raised the torch over her head, picking her way across the flooded space and up onto another little bank of rubble.

“May as well do a little exploring while I’m here. There might be something worth seeing, after all.”

Continuing to make observations to herself aloud as she made her way forward, she raised the torch to the walls, beginning the long trek back toward the surface.

So like, I don’t- I don’t get it. There’s no reason why I shouldn’t be allowed to just-

Mikau, I don’t know how else to explain to you that you’re not allowed to use Linky’s body to test how many chicken nuggets you can eat in an hour. You can’t.

Giants, Darmi, I just- why the hell not!? I’m sure the lil’ dude is okay with - waitwaitwait - everybody shut up NOW; my husband is approaching at rapid speeds and I will not be made a fool in this good Chili’s.

He’s alerted to Aaron’s presence by Mikau’s sharp gasp and awful dialogue, narrowing his eyes and agreeing with the chorus of groans that erupt as a result of it. Seven cranes his neck from where he is, curled up on the twins’ couch, to get a better look at Aaron as he pops down the stairs and calls out a greeting. 

“‘Evening.” Seven mutters.

Tell my husband that he’s looking absolutely ravishing in the moonlight.

“Mikau says hi,” he says instead, pointedly not saying anything Mikau wanted him to.

He sits up straight at Aaron’s invitation, tilting his head to the side. Mikau’s unbelivably loud from within headspace, but he manages to shove it aside to ask, “…What do you have in mind?”

Aaron rocks back on his heels for a moment, before bouncing back to standing normally. He's the sort of unable to sleep that means restlessness and nervous energy, so his usual little motions are slightly more obvious.

He starts with a cheerful, "Oh, hello Mikau," and moves on to what he was actually going to say;

"I had like, two or three things I was thinking of," he says. "Going for a walk around town, just going out into the backyard- Light's flowers could probably use some water, it's been dry recently- or it's close enough to morning, maybe making something everyone could have for breakfast."

...He pauses, something coming to mind, then grins.

"From what I understand, you're not quite as- experienced, with baking and such, but if you and I worked together I'm sure it'd be fine.” He tilts his head to the side slightly, awaiting an answer to the question; “Any of those options stand out to you?”

“It’s the same every time I close my eyes”

[Nightmares]

Aaron sits in silence for a moment, eyes fixed on the table instead of looking at his brother. It’s sort of a wonder there aren’t a ton of circular stains on the wood, with how often they sit here like this- late at night, and Link typically makes tea, and more often than not Aaron accepts the offer of a mug for himself…

He looks up, filling the pause with a vague tilt of his head.“I mean, can’t say I’ve never been there,” he murmurs.

“Do you want to talk about it? Doesn’t have to sit so heavy on you when you’re awake, at least.”

4 6 15 !!

[Munday salt!]

4. What are some things you are tired of seeing in the RPing community?

Um,, overformatting! When your text looks LIKE this, then... I can't figure out where the important information actually is. I'm... not actually a fan of ~aesthetic~ formatting, mostly as a personal nitpick. (Also people being weird about hc's and personal interpretations. Calm down.)

6. Your view on Mary/Gary sues?

Characters with a ton of potential, once the writer learns to balance it all better! And also just generally fun for the author. Perhaps not someone I'd want to interact with in an rp (given most Sues are accompanied by a few more beginner rp flaws like godmodding), not as they are at the moment... but my first OC's were Sues. Don't be mean to a learning beginner!

15. What is your biggest pet peeve?

Uhhh probably the aesthetic formatting/prose! When people sacrifice clarity for the aesthetic and use a whole ton of future tense and flowery purple prose... They're having fun, and I don't intend to make them or their partners stop, but I don't enjoy reading '&& she would RAISE her hand to TOUCH the other's face...'

Again- pet peeve. If you write more flowery or future tense, go ahead and do so! It's just not my personal taste.

What’s the worst role playing experience you’ve had?

[Munday salt!]

1. What’s the worst role playing experience you’ve had?

Uhhhh I've actually not had an Awful Experience thus far, but I've had some unpleasant ones.

The one to take the cake... is something I did years ago on a forum! The plot was run by Me essentially (I loved the premise at least), and the other rp'er would bug me ooc after I had taken more than like an hour or two to respond. Not to mention he was... uh. Kinda mopey ooc. Bit dramatic? Made a big deal about leaving the forum and dragged everyone into some sappy 'nooooOooo don't go!!' Thing that he didn't seem to want his mind changed by.

That forum was... darker days ahdjaja

17. Something that you find unforgivable?

I like to think of myself as pretty forgiving, so not much actually comes to mind easily...

Intentionally triggering someone! As in, you know their triggers and purposely upset them. Also refusing to even tag basic triggers. (Saw someone once who wrote graphic gore and openly refused to tag it as such... no good.)

He nods, that same satchel at his side as always, and he opens it up to pull out a flask.

“I’ve- um. One for- for cleaning, and one for water– I mean. Drink. Drinking water. And bandages.” Talking is still hard, but… he used to be worse. At least he’s improving. As usual, he sits at the door of the cell, and reaches through the bars to set the water and such on the other side.

As long as he doesn’t look too hard at the wound, he’s… fine. Fine-ish. (If he was bad enough, would it be him in a cell like Sheik’s? The thought scares him.)

“Also… do- do you… need help? It’s your arm, so if you… stay close here, then I can um… um, try to help. And after- I- I wanted to- to talk? Talk about something.”

"That doesn't look like a scratch."

Ah, so this strange soul was back again. Sheik had… grown accustomed to his visits– in fact, he even welcomed Aaron’s visits. They were a small reprieve in the darkness of his cell.

“No, it’s not. But they rarely ever are…” Sheik murmured, voice distant and somewhat cold. Was it sad to say that he was growing more and more accustomed to this? His mind would grow fuzzy and distant when the pain was too much to bear, and that was certainly the case now. A particularly bad gash had wripped through his arm and into the tendons. It was bleeding quite severely.

Although, in his current state he is hardly able to recognize the blood as his own.

“At least they gave me stitches and bandages this time. I don’t know how well I’ll be able to use this arm now though,” He says it so frankly– so calmly, “You brought some water right? I’ve got to fix this.”

    A gale flutters around him, allowing the Rito to take off from the ground seemingly with ease. He had long-since perfected the technique, but it still must be used and practiced to maintain such flawless control over this self-made tempest. Revali knew it all too well, that failure to stay within the eye of the whirlwind could be rather…unsightly.

    He spotted the targets he’d set up, and with one smooth motion, grasped his bow and a few of the bomb arrows from his quiver. He aimed carefully but with ease for just a moment, before letting the arrows fly to their targets. Each made their mark, exploding upon impact in an flurry of bright orange light and dark gray smoke. Placing his bow back in his talons, he landed on the fence of the small birdhouse-like hut just as easily as he had taken off.

    Oh? Seems he has an audience.

“I can see you over there!” he calls out, a smirk finding its way across his beak. It didn’t look like another Rito, a traveler maybe? “Would I be wrong to assume you saw that perfect display of my skills?”

He was right. He was right he was right, he was perfectly on time to see all of that and seeing the Champion soar is just as cool as he thought it would be.

The sudden rush of wind, the practiced movement, the explosion as each arrow hits their target, can anyone else do that? No, no he doesn't think so, that's the whole thing that makes the Rito Champion Revali so unique and it's so COOL how does he even put that into words-

Aaron takes a moment to compose himself (he was definitely staring, which is rude but he's a little starstruck), then looks up to Revali and nods.

"I did!" He calls back, moving along the walkway with a notable bounce in his step. "I, er- sorry if I was intruding!"

He could very well be intruding, after all. But he carries on, because excitement has yet to win over things like common sense and nerves. "But I saw you! And that was- that was really really cool! Was that magic? I know it’s probably normal to you at this point but that- that was magic, wasn't it?"

Has he neglected to even introduce himself? Absolutely. Has he noticed? No.

18 14 12 !!!

[Munday!]

18. Who was your first muse?

Um, depends on if you mean RP'ing period, or here on Tumblr! My first real RP with anyone, um... that I remember, it involved a Sheikah OC, and a really edgy Dark Link ahdjajaj

On Tumblr, it's a blog I still have, though rn it's not exactly active- it's for Cain from Fire Emblem!

14. What would you say is your aesthetic?

Hm. I really really like galaxy stuff! Especially stars. And also things like streams in the middle of the forest. (Also, the glitter makeup trend, where you have pieces of glitter across your cheeks and such- pair that with spacebuns? Very cute. I've done it before. Fashion aes.)

12. Are you a morning person, an afternoon person an evening person, or a night person?

Night?? I feel like I could be a morning person too, though- I kinda like being up early in the morning.. it depends on which gets me the most alone time, since I live in a house with siblings ahdjajsjfa
