Okay so I wrote a thing (like I said I would) it’s really short but here you go:
In a nutshell it’s just some random, dumb banter about why Shadow looks like a weird creature-guy. Enjoy!
-
“What purpose do those serve?” Vio asked.
Shadow squinted over from his perch on an old, leather couch, an ear dipped in confusion. “Huh? What serves what?”
Vio gestured to Shadow’s hands and face. “Your teeth, they’re far sharper than any Hylian I've seen. Your fingernails too, they look like claws. Why is that?” He asked passively, genuinely curious.
Shadow’s face scrunched up further, as if he hadn’t even thought about it himself.
“Y’know, I don’t actually know. I have no idea.” He held out his hands and curled his upper lip, exposing his fangs. Vio still instinctually found the sight unsettling, despite having been around Shadow for several days now.
His teeth were sharp and predatory, and if Vio was honest, they looked like they belonged more in the mouth of a fox. He shuddered.
Shadow rolled his jaw and grinned mischievously, curling his fingers over the arm of the couch he was draped over. “Maybe I’m, like, half-monster?” He continued, his smile turning into a grimace. “These claws are real fuckin’ annoying though. They get stuck on everything. I can barely put a tunic on without ripping it apart.”
Vio hadn’t considered that. Though, now he thinks about it, it makes a lot of sense. “Sounds troubling. Have you ever done that before?” He prompted.
Shadow’s toothy grin was back again in full force. “Yep. I’ve nearly tore this one, too.”
He sat up and held out an arm, pointing to his sleeve. Vio could see a handful of loose strands in the white fabric, dangling from his wrist like cobwebs.
“See that? They get caught on the threads and yank them out. Drives me crazy”. Shadow growled, shaking his wrist to emphasize his point.
Vio thought for a moment, before making a tentative offering.
“I brought a bag with me to the Fire Temple, I should have several spare undertunics in there if I were to look. Perhaps you’d like to borrow one?”
Shadow grinned widely and nodded eagerly, it seemed genuine.
For once, Vio didn’t even need to force himself to smile back.
