#ghirahim: ...i'm starting to think you don't understand the objective of twenty questions

[ladyrijus]

A Skyward Sword Headcanon:

Link is so fucking exhausted from chasing down Zelda that during one of Ghirahim's monologues he dozes off. Ghirahim, obviously, is affronted by this. The fucking nerve? Still, what can he expect from a sky child. He snaps his fingers repeatedly, startling Link awake, and resumes his monologue (not before making a quip about the boy not getting his beauty rest)... only for Link to doze off again.

Now Ghirahim is like "Alright, what the hell, I did not spend two hours working on this speech and dance routine for this bitch to sleep through it?"

So what does he do? Does he kill Link, right then and there? No! Attacking someone while they're defenseless is just barbaric behavior and Ghirahim is someone who wants to keep it classy. Also, truthfully, it's just not as fun. Like, why would you silence someone who is already silent? It makes no sense to him.

He settles for sitting down on the ground to wait for the boy to wake up. Yup, that's his grand decision. The rational part of him screams to not be this stupid, as the girl and her servant will no doubt flee far from where they are. But then again, Ghirahim has his spies everywhere; finding them is light work anyways. It's always been catching them that was the hard part.

In the meantime, he attempts to either instigate Fi for being a servant of Hylia or make conversation with her about Skyloft or the Surface to fill up the hours. And while she appears impassive, Fi, like any other spirit, has feelings. What does that mean? She too is bored, so she does entertain the demon some answers to his questions (though they're much more clipped and uninteresting than Ghirahim likes).

Alright, timeskip to when Link finally awakes.

Ghirahim is absolutely jumping with glee; you can see him smiling brightly and clapping his hands. Now that he was up, the child would truly feel the fear that the demon was going to strike into his heart. Their battle would be one for the history books. A boy bested by a sword. Oh, it would be delectable.

You can then imagine his disbelief when Link tells Fi they're going home -- he's hungry after all.

"You can't just leave!" Ghirahim splutters, visibly distraught, "I won't let you!"

He does, but not without nursing his wounded ego. Why bother keeping someone who doesn't appreciate his goddess damned efforts anyways...
