[Sunday morning, and time for Link to rise...]

[About a month later, as it turns out.]

[For a moment, he's disoriented, staring at the ceiling in a vague sort of way. He feels a bit like he's been run through a wringer, exhausted from not having touched the coral in - what, a month and a half? - and it takes him a moment before he can summon the energy to reach for the SFC.]

Um - hi. [Whoops, scratchy voice - let him clear that.]

I guess I was asleep for a really long time, huh... [Bit of movement in the background, Link is trying to push himself up and look for his boots. If he can find Asi somewhere nearby, he can get him to the coral, right?] It's weird, because I slept for a week just before this...

[Oh well. Have a sleepy smile (and, okay, some pretty epic bedhead).] But I'm up now! Um...

What did I miss?

[Later in the day, once he's touched the coral, he can be found here and there - getting used to food again, stretching his legs after a month of no movement. At times, he can be found in the plaza, a blue ocarina in his hands as he plays music.]

[He hasn't gone outside yet, there'll be time for that later!]

Hi, Zelda. [Smile!] I guess I slept for a really long time, huh? I think I'm okay, I just need to go to the --

[...Zelda what are you wearing is that bare skin.]

[Just. Going. To go a bit pink, okay.]

...To the coral.

Are you feeling ill? I'd be happy to help you get to the coral.

[Her words are innocent enough, but her tone is entirely different from the usual. From the way she's saying it, it sounds as if she'd be happy to help him with a lot more than that.]

[What is that tone. And why is his face heating up even more.]

Um... well, I can hear Asi outside, but... [Right. This is Zelda. She was probably just worried about him, right?] Um... we can go get some breakfast once I'm better, if you want?

Oh yes, I would like that very much. We -

[And then there's a slight struggle as her SFC is taken from her and shut off abruptly. It wasn't an attack, it was just Zelos.

RUINING HER LIFE!]

[She's like that very much? Well --]

[dfjhgsk cut off!] Zelda? Zelda, are you okay?

[...OKAY. Dressing as fast as he can and getting to Asi so he can heal up at the coral then go see if Zelda's okay... and there might be a string of, 'Are you okay?'s left on her SFC until someone puts him out of his misery.]

Sorry about that kid! She's fine, she just needed to go lie down.

[He glares pointedly off screen.]

No worries! I got things handled over here.

[Okay, he hasn't made it very far by the time he gets Zelos' message, but he does need to go to the coral anyway. So, continuing on.]

...Oh. What happened? She stopped talking really really fast.

Not a big deal, just trying to keep her from embarrassing herself because of this curse that's going on. Don't worry your pointy ears over it, I've got it covered!

[He's more worried about what'll happen with Zelda after the curse is over, honestly. Not to mention he's not quite sure what she did with her day while she was out. Sure she'd hung around with Guy and that was fine, but who else...]

There's a curse? [Link frowns, then nods once.] Okay. Look after her, alright?

You got it!

[Yeah. Definitely glad he got Zelda off the SFC before talking to Link in the state she's in. That could have been ugly.]

[Very ugly. Mostly for Zelda, and her remaining dignity.]

Thanks. Um, I'll talk to her when everything's better, then... thanks.
