@wolfvirago played the Song of Starters ♪

     She’d always been proficient at the bow, having taught her all the TRICKS of the trade himself. The ways of handling a blade, however, that much he’d glossed over during the time of his life. The basics, of course, enough for when she may come to be in a pickle, but Robin had learned much on her own by sheer will and DETERMINATION, and for that, Link was proud.

     He was here now, however, in some way, shape, or form. At the very least, he could impart what WISDOM he had to her now       better late than never.

     “No, no, try it this way: back and forth, not in circles.” He instructed, a hand reaching forth to gesture at the motion. “And always remember ‘less is more’ when it comes to sharpness. You don’t want your blade breaking in the middle of battle.”

@wolfvirago​ ♡’d for tonight’s smol starter !!

     “I wish I could taste things still.” Mouth practically WATERS as he hovers over her shoulder, eying the steaming mug of apple cider. “... How does it taste? As tasty as I remember, I hope!”

[hyaciiintho]

@wolfvirago​ said: “Happy Birthday, Papa.” She didn’t have much time to make him something, so she hugs him instead, kissing his cheek.

     “Thank you, my little bird~” He coos, wrapping arms around his daughter and planting a kiss right back upon her forehead. “I look rather dashing for a man my age, don’t you think?” Time has stood still for him since death, of course he’d still retain his youthful appearance from life. What a NERD.

@wolfvirago​ said: For Christmas, she made him a little doll of her. “So Papa can hug me when he has to go on adventures!”

     Sapphires warmed upon the sight, coming to a kneel so as to be more level with her as he ADMIRED the work she put into creating the doll. Turning it this way and that, he gave a thoughtful hum before giving his daughter a glance.

     “Let’s see if it works.” He gave the doll a hug, making a show of embracing the doll with a sound of effort... and then he shifted to wrap arms around her form instead, SQUEEZING her tight and planting a kiss atop unruly curls with a growing smile.

     “You did amazing, little bird... it’s almost like the real thing.” Nose coming to nose, he gave her a PLAYFUL nuzzle. “Thank you, I’ll take it everywhere with me... But always remember, nothing will ever compare to how warm your hugs are-- they’ll always be the best!”

@wolfvirago​​ said: "Papa! Big brother taught me a new word!" The child beams, bouncing before speaking. "Shit!!"

     The initial smile to tug his lips wide upon her words of excitement was quick to FALL the moment her reveal was spoken. Gentle expression made no hesitance in its shift into sheer mortification, and hands which had tended to a newly planted flower pot made haste in wiping themselves CLEAN ‘pon his apron.

     “N-no no no, my little bird !! We do not talk like that in this house!” Came the scolding, FRANTIC and pleading as it may have been. “Where is your brother? Who taught him that word ??” And why in FARORE’S good name did the boy even think it was okay to say such a thing, much more to his younger sister ?!

     Someone is going to receive some CHOICE words !!

     Eyes remained watching, but unseeing in a moment. Thoughts were miles, and MILES away, to a time that felt so very long ago, it made old bones ache as if attempting to return to the land of the living. There had been many things in which his daughter reminded him of her mother, an EMBER that seemed to burn warmly within her, and the melodious sound of her song was no different.

     He missed her dearly.

     “You’re more like your mother than you could ever know.” Came the soft statement, a fond look in his eyes before his focus truly settles back onto her, smile tugging at his lips all the while. “I’m glad you inherited her talent for singing, and not mine.” Laughter, muffled by the pressing of knuckles to his lips, knowing full well of just how TERRIBLE he had always been when it came to such a thing.

♫ — To sing to my muse!

     “It doesn’t look to be a robbery.” He noted, crouched by the seemingly ransacked supplies with a CURIOUS gaze. “We’d only been gone for but a moment... it looks more as if a wild animal got to it.” Though perhaps it was best to relocate, regardless. “... maybe consider staying at an inn?”

[hyaciiintho]

@wolfvirago​ said: "Papa, I don't know who last told you... But I'm proud of you." The young woman opens her arms for a hug and beams. "I really really am!"

     He didn’t know what exactly had prompted Robin to say such a thing, nor could he recall doing anything particularly SPECTACULAR as of recent. It was due to this that the blond remained staring with a wide-eyed look of confusion written clearly across his face, mind not quite registering the words themselves, but understanding as much that they were of PRAISE of some sort.

     Then, they began to sink in, slowly, creating a well of tears within his eyes that went unnoticed until they were OVERFLOWING like a great flood, visage flickering for a good few moments as flesh came replaced with bone and vise versa.

     “M-my light--!!” He laughed, a watery-- though GENUINE-- sound that bubbled from his chest through suppressed sobs. “I-I should be say-saying that to you!” Quickly did he wrap arms around his daughter, squeezing her as tightly as he could muster without once more losing control of his physical appearance. “You’ve g-grown... so much, my little bird, a-and I regret every moment I w-wasn’t there for it... B-but I love you s-so very much. I’m proud of you, too !!”

[hyaciiintho]

@wolfvirago​  ♡’d for a starter !!

     Digits which combed through honeyed locks FLICKERED in their skeletal appearance, withered armor replacing soft tunic in it’s company before the picturesque figure of her living, breathing father settled. Brushing long, golden tresses from his face, it’s with his free hand that he offers the girl a bundle of flowers, tentative though HOPEFUL.

     “... Are you... still upset with me...?” Came the soft inquire, not wanting to press matters too far, but seeking some form of an ANSWER all the same.

[hyaciiintho]

@wolfvirago​ said: "Papa, Happy Father's Day... Even after everything. You're still my father and I love you."

     Even after EVERYTHING--              -- Lips found themselves pressing into a thin line.

     There’s a pause in action as he dwelled on the words, brows lowering on his face as his gaze followed suit. “... I love you too, little bird... Always have, and always will...” Finally did he move forth, fingers brushing through her UNRULY curls before wrapping arms her form. “Thank you...”

[hyaciiintho]

@wolfvirago​​ said: "Is fishing *always* so boring?"

     He was nearly startled by her statement, a look of sheer SHOCK painting his features as a flicker of a skeletal grin briefly made itself known before flesh replaced the imagery. Gradually, surprised ebbed into ACCEPTANCE, a small amused smile tugging at his lips whilst a finger rose to scratch at his cheek.

     “W-well... I guess it isn’t for everyone...” He began, focus drifting off towards the watery horizon. “... But don’t you like the peace and calm of the moment? Fishing isn’t always about the catch... sometimes it’s just sitting here, enjoying the moment, and basking in the quiet of nature. That’s what I like about it, anyways.” There was a pause, lips pressing together in a thin line whilst he averted his gaze before mumbling under his breath. “And maybe catching fish thrice my size, but that’s besides the point...”

@wolfvirago​​ said: 🌻- plot twist- it’s made of paper, she wanted to give him something bright in the winter weather

⚘             Brighten Link’s day with a 🌻 || ❀

     Oh, the PRIDE to swell within his chest upon the sight of the detailed paper craft. It was beautiful and bright, notably crafted with great care and LOVE, causing the man to hold the gift with such tenderness, afraid that it would break under his touch.

     “This is absolutely beautiful, Little Bird~” He praised with WARMTH in his tone, leaning forth to press a kiss to her forehead before enveloping her into a loving embrace. “I love it, thank you.” Another kiss, buried within unruly locks as he gave her crown a nuzzle. “I love you~”

     His pride and JOY, making him proud with such a lovely handmade gift-- What a skilled and creative soul-- Just like Papa !!

[hyaciiintho]

@wolfvirago​ said: “Papa, can I help you with the apple pie?” (happy turkey day adri!!)

    Lips curl with the utmost gentility upon her request, a breathy chuckle slipping passed them swiftly after. “Of course, little bird. I can’t make the best apple pie without my most important little helper, can I now?” He stated WARMLY, already laying out the tools necessary for her to assist him in crafting the perfect dessert.

    The dough for the crust was spread out in full upon the table, the mold of a leaf being passed over to her for usage. They would need PLENTY of cutouts if it were to form the most delectable crust out of them.

    “I’ll start slicing the apples while you work on the crust, okay?” With careful instructions and guidance did he show her how it would be done, taking care to show her firsthand. “Just like that! Aren’t they pretty?” A kiss, nuzzled LOVINGLY into her cheek. “You’re a natural!”

@wolfvirago​ said: “I just feel calmer. When I’m with you.” ⚘                   S O F T || ❀

     His touch is gentle, fingers threading through unruly curls, an immeasurable amount of FOCUS and energy being placed into the simple action so as to make it possible. Surely, he would pay for it sooner rather than later, but for now, he relished in the contact he was able to make with her. It had been so terribly long since he’d felt his own daughter ‘neath his fingertips, the CURL of her hand around his own, the softness of her locks tucked against his chin.

     At the very least, for this one moment, he wanted to HOLD her again, just as when she was a little girl.

     “I would sure hope so.” Came the murmur, and not lacking one bit of amusement within his tone as a smile tugged at his lips. “I’m your father... If I can’t provide a sense of security for you, then I have failed you in the worst way possible.” Thankfully, it seemed he had done SOMETHING right, in life.

@wolfvirago​ said: “Papa... How did you know that you loved Mama?”

     A peculiar question, one that would undoubtedly receive a slew of SIMILAR answers from other folk, should they comment on the very same inquire: The flutter of butterflies in their stomach, the warmth in the very core of their hearts, the feeling as though a fire had been ignited within their stomachs-- but none of those would be answer he provided. Yes, of course he’d felt many a thing within Amaterasu’s presence, those mentioned included, but it was so much MORE than that, and for that reason alone, did the Hero of Time find himself floundering for a proper answer.

     If only, for a BRIEF moment.

     “When I knew... deep down inside... that I would give my life for her...” Though that wasn’t the END of all, if he were to be honest. “... When I... Knew that my life was at it’s happiest, when I was beside her...” And yet it was but a START to all that would come. “... It’s difficult to explain, my little bird... I could wax poetry over how I felt, with fairy tale descriptions and ridiculous comparisons... but when you know you would do your absolute best to let nothing of harm to come to them... it’s when you start thinking something has changed.”
