[Action for Zelda / video]

[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.))

I'll have to meet him again.

[Family again, huh? He's smiling a bit at the idea.]

What happened with the kitchen?

[zelda_hylia]

He started a bit of a fire in his kitchen the last time he was here. I'd like to avoid that happening again, particularly since he's in the same house as us.

[There are two kitchens so they COULD spare one, but she'd really rather not!]

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh - right, he's living at Ordo too? How many people is that, now? [He sounds pretty amused - living in a big house is actually rather nice.]

[zelda_hylia]

That makes five of us. It is a good thing we have two houses combined into one!

[Honestly, Zelda's quite happy this way. Growing up in the castle, she became used to living in a larger place with a lot of people. Of course, she wasn't close to a ton of people there, but she grew used to the noise.]

[blessedbyfarore]

So... [Hang on, let him work this out.] There's two Links and two Zeldas and Zelos? ...Maybe me and the other Link should get nicknames, too. [Confusing, but... kind of nice, too. It's still pretty new for Link - having his own little treehouse since he was tiny and all - but he's enjoying it.]

[zelda_hylia]

What would you like to be called, then?

[She can think of a few things, but Zelda would like to hear what Link might come up with himself. Would he be upset if they called him Kokiri?]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link blinks once at that, not really expecting the question. Choosing his own name? How are people meant to do that, anyway?]

[He makes a thoughtful sound, chewing on his lip, considering. What are the main differences?]

He's from the sky, right? [He says it slowly, frowning thoughtfully.] And I'm from the forest, so... maybe Forest. [He shrugs self-consciously - it sounds kind of strange.] Maybe... I've never had any nickname aside from Fairy Boy or Mister No-Fairy.

[And, uh. From his expression, clearly not a fan of those.]

[zelda_hylia]

Forest would suit you. If you want to be named after the forest, Kokiri might as well? You could be Link Kokiri, and he could be Link Skyloft.

[Link should really have a last name anyway, in her opinion.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Link doesn't answer immediately, a pensive look on his face before he shakes his head once.] I'd prefer Forest, I think. [He says it quietly, not quite meeting Zelda's gaze.] I mean, I'm not - I never was a Kokiri. But...

[A tentative smile.] I have lived in forests in Hyrule and Vatheon. And I like them a lot.

[zelda_hylia]

[From what she knows of Saria and the Deku Sprout, both would be glad to have Link still claiming them as family. Still, if it saddens him, she won't bring it up again.]

Forest it is, then. I will still call you Link when Link from the Sky is not around, though.

[blessedbyfarore]

Sure! [Link gives her a quick smile, taking another sip of his drink.] I still call you Zelda, anyway.

[Which is quite a turnaround, considering he mostly stuck to 'princess' when he arrived...]
