#Is a bad time

[toyouhellohowareyou]

The only word I've never seen before was 45. So challenge time! And I love Twilight, but if you don't want to do Twilight, Lore!

Hello I love you 💖

So svelte! With Twilight, who is very much not, and/or Lore (14 year old Legend.) What a combination.

Okay, so we're being mean to the baby.

***

It rains on their run back from the fairy fountain.

Twilight tries to beat it, but in the end there isn't a chance, it sweeps in too fast, too unexpectedly here in Labrynna where neither of them know the signs. The deluge rolls in as they are crossing open fields, nowhere to hide.

It doesn't occur to them what that means until it hits them, a few drops warning, then the rain begins in earnest, and Lore makes a pained sound from where he clings to Wolfie's back. Twilight stops, alarmed at the sound, slowing to try not to throw the kid. Lore slips off regardless, into the grass with a string of curses and profanity before its cut off with a strangled scream.

Twilight is whirling back around to him and is Hylian again in a moment. He couches beside Lore as he writhes and curls up, and Twilight realises what this is. Pink scales bloom along the boy's legs, almost hypnotic in the patterned growth of it. The there's the horrifically familiar crunch of bones breaking and rearranging as the mertail forms in earnest and Lore can't muffle the scream this time.

It's over before he can say or do anything. Not that there's anything to be done. The rain continues to pound down.

Twilight places a hand on his shaking back, "You okay, kiddo?"

A wheezing, shuddering, "I don't know."

He rubs his back, the borrowed tunic already soaked through, pushes the sodden hair out of his face, "You're okay," Twilight assures him.

Lore glares at him with the default Legend defensive glare, hating his weakness on display, but there's nothing behind it but upset. He looks too ill and pained to be of any threat to anything.

"You don't have your rain jacket?"

"I didn't…" his voice cracks, "It does this in the rain?" There's a desperation and horror to the words. Fear. Twilight abruptly remembers what he said at the fountain; This curse was from the last temple he visited, he's only just got it.

He didn't know.

This must be the first time he's been in the rain since picking up the curse, the first time he's facing it hitting not just when he's submerged, but in the drenching rain.

His breath is wheezing, not suffocating fortunately, but it was always harder for Legend to breathe in this form. It's getting faster and faster as he struggles to push himself up, to control his awkward body in the grass and growing mud.

"I…" He stares at the tail like its the first time he's seeing it, only now realising the indelible curse was more than he thought and feared. That a simple downpour has rendered him half immobile and half suffocated, "What if something comes?"

His breathing turns gasping and sharp.

He's panicking.

Twilight shifts in front of him, "It's okay, it's okay, just breathe. 'm not gonna let anything hurt ya."

Twilight wonders briefly if Legend had been alone for this.

"I can't—" Lore looks around frantically and Twilight takes him by the shoulders,

"Kid, Lore, Link, hey." He puts his hands gently but firmly on his neck and jaw, pressing slitted gills closed, "Eyes on me. In through your nose, out through your mouth, yeah?"

Lore shakes his head, but his hands reach up to grasp Twilight's wrists and he uses it to steady himself instead of trying to push them off, which Twilight takes as a good sign.

"Focus, Link, you c'n do this. Copy me." He takes a steady breath in and watches as Lore copies him. In and out, in and out. The kid can't match it at first, but bit by bit he calms down and steadies.

He lets go of Twilight's wrists.

"Good job, you're doin' so good. That a bit better?"

And the kid holds it together for all of fifteen or so seconds before he bursts into overwhelmed, distraught tears, looking all of fourteen years old.

Twilight grabs him in a hug and the boy buries his face in his chest and sobs.

He's a svelte little thing, small in his arms. Legend has never been big but at this age, where he hasn't finished growing into his limbs and he's a little too thin from the journey, it was only more pronounced. The long jewel tone pink tail giving the false impression of height. Pretty. Dangerous. Oh he never considered how dangerous this curse would be for sometime who didn't know how to handle it. How much handling it must take.

Twilight scoops him up and begins to walk, heading for the distant treeline, he'll get him home safe.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
