[Action for Zelda / video]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Action, closed to Zelda]

[Nothing to see here, just a sleepy green lump...]

[Video, somewhat later]

[Hi, Vatheon, here's a face you haven't seen in a little while. Link waves sleepily, still kind of groggy after, well, sleeping for a month.]

[Again.]

Hi, everyone. I guess I fell asleep again, huh? It's okay, I've already been to the coral. [Indeed, he woke up there.]

Um... have I missed anything important?


((OOC: Dated to afternoon of the 21st.))

[Lloyd lets out a soft breath, relief clear on his face.]

There you are.

[He offers Link a small, lopsided grin.]

You missed getting chocolate.

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link gives Lloyd a smile in return, stretching a little. And then, of course, his face falls comically...]

Aww, I did? What was the chocolate for? Was it another holiday?

[redcladidealist]

Yeah, Valentine's Day. You know what that is?

[Lloyd figures it's a fairy question to ask. He certainly hasn't been familiar with all the holidays people celebrate in Vatheon.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[It is indeed a fair question! Hyrule somewhat lacks Valentine's Day.]

Oh... no, I don't think so. But you get chocolate for it, huh?

[redcladidealist]

It's a holiday that's supposed to celebrate love, but not everyone's in love, so friendship or family counts, too. A lot of people give out candy or flowers or cards. The people here gave us fish chocolates!

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... well, a day about friends and family is nice too! You got chocolates shaped like fish, huh?

[No, Link. Worse. Much worse.]

[redcladidealist]

Yup! Some of them were pretty good! But, uh, some of them...

[There's a brief flash of queasiness on his face.]

...you don't like raw fish, do you?

[blessedbyfarore]

[Just.]

[This expression.]

[redcladidealist]

Didn't think so. Some of the chocolates tasted like they had raw fish in them. I'm not sure if they really did. I tried cutting them apart, but they just looked like chocolate.

[On second thought, maybe it's better that Link missed out on this.]

[zelda_hylia]

[It's been a long time since Link fell into his coma, and Zelda doesn't want him to wake up sick. As such, today she's decided to carry him to the plaza and press his hand against Lamufao. It's difficult to hold an adult man up, so she casts the levitation spell that Duke taught her on him before heading out.

When poor Link awakens, he's being held like a baby.]

[action]

[blessedbyfarore]

[The first thing that Link is aware of as consciousness returns is warmth and softness - he's not sure, exactly, where he is, but it's not exactly uncomfortable.]

[Murmuring sleepily, his lashes flutter for a moment as he yawns, and he half-turns to curl into whatever the soft warm thing he's on is.]

[action]

[zelda_hylia]

[Link utterly unconscious with his head on her chest out of necessity is okay. It's something Zelda can handle. Link waking up and snuggling into her chest?

No, no, she definitely can't handle it.

Zelda grabs his hand and presses it to the coral quickly, hoping he jerks to look and see what she's doing before realizing where his face is.]

[action]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Whoa movement okay moving. Link blinks, waking up more thoroughly at the sudden movement, lifting his head (probably thankfully, both for his and Zelda's remaining dignity).]

[He's at the coral? But how...]

[Still blinking sleep out of his eyes, he half-turns to see who's holding his hand to the coral.]

...Zelda?

[action]

[zelda_hylia]

[Just act casual, he'll never notice!]

Good morning, sleepyhead.

[Wait no, don't call him what First Zelda calls First Link! ...even if it's very accurate right now.]

You've been out for over a month now. I thought I would bring you to the coral so you didn't get sick.

[action]

[blessedbyfarore]

[He did sleep for seven years. Appropriate nickname is probably appropriate.]

Over a month? Wow - again? [Reaching up to rub at his eyes, he blinks blearily.]

[He's not feeling too bad, actually, and turns to give her a grateful smile.] Thanks. Last time I felt really sick when I woke up...

[action]

[zelda_hylia]

[At least he's dressed appropriately for being outside. No one in Zelda's house falls into a coma without ending up in a Zora Tunic! She shifts so that he's standing rather than being held in her arms. He's likely to notice the curious lack of weight, not unlike trying to move around with the hover boots on.]

I am going to remove the spell I have on you so you can walk on your own, all right?

[action]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Glancing down in surprise, he nods.] Okay. What spell is it? I feel really light.

[replicatedcourage]

You're awake!

[Sola is so very pleased to see his brother up and about!]

You missed a bunch of curses and stuff.

[blessedbyfarore]

Yeah, I am! [He gives him a cheery smile back - although he hasn't exactly missed Sola, being asleep, he's glad to see him.]

What did I miss? Were there any fun ones?

[replicatedcourage]

I got really smart for one! When I checked on your you were a kid though, even if you were still asleep. And you missed Valentines too! Johnny took me on a date~

[Clearly this is the best thing ever.]

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... I must have changed back when I was sleeping. [That's right - he had fallen asleep as a kid. The dream had given him an adult body, and so waking up with one had felt to be natural again.]

[Yeah, that gets a grin.] That's a thing that boyfriends go on, right? How was it?

[replicatedcourage]

[Whoops turning a little red and fidgeting with his fingers.]

H-he wrote me a poem.

[No big deal, it just made him really happy.]

And he made me cookies! They were really good. I would have shared if you were awake. I made him a bracelet. It's not that good but he wears it all the time anyway.

[And now he's blushing harder and looking away from the camera, adjusting his hat self consciously. Still, he can't get the grin off his face.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Oh, Sola. Link just gives him a reassuring grin, settling back a little.] That must have been nice, huh? And maybe we can make our own cookies later! ...Not date cookies, just regular ones.

[Cookies, at least, he can kindasorta make, thanks to Zelda.]

[replicatedcourage]

Well I'm sure they won't be as good as Johnny's, but sure! I learned some stuff about baking from him. He's really really good at it.

[He nearly suggests they all bake together, but... well, he's still got a strange fear that Johnny will like Link better than him, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. He'll keep his boyfriend to himself, thanks.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[It's okay, Sola, Link has no desire to steal your boyfriend.]

Great! Zelda's been showing me too, I made some cake for Lloyd's birthday. It was pretty good!
