Linktober Day 20: Mask

[musical-chan]

Father of Time Chapter 27: What makes you happy? Does it make others happy, too?

When Deity returned to the Inn later that night, he found his son perched on his bed with a strange instrument in his hands, made out of what were apparently fish bones.  He had never seen an instrument quite like that before, though what remained of his connection to Termina whispered an idea of a memory in his head. Link's unsure fingers would pluck out notes but they were often awkward and sour. 

"What is this?"

"Oh! Hey dad, I got a guitar at the Zora hall today! It cost a thousand rupees!  I used to play it with the mask but I bet I could learn it on my own too. I can kinda almost remember notes if I think about it."

"Ah."

"Hey, how'd the rest of your day go?"  The boy set the guitar on the bed, rubbing his fingers to ease the raw spots that had started to form.  Pressing on the strings was more painful with his regular fingers than he expected. 

"It was fine. I have settled my business here." 

"Can we go look at the tower tomorrow?" 

"Certainly." 

"Hey, um…" Link paused, grappling with the words he wanted to say. "I thought…you told me you weren't bothered by Termina.  So, um, this morning…and destroying the temple. Uh…"

"I did not realise until we came here that I was bothered. I'm sorry I inadvertently lied to you." 

"Oh man, no, dad, I don't think that's a lie really if you didn't know it. I guess I just thought maybe you weren't going to tell me or something."  A knock at the door paused the conversation and Deity walked over to open it.  Anju was there, holding the baby and smiling up at the god.  

"Oh, hello!  Kafei and I were wondering if you'd like to join us for dinner tonight? You're still our only customers and we can set up extra seating in the kitchen.  I thought it would be nice!"

Deity glanced over at Link and the boy nodded enthusiastically.  He looked back down at the redhead and inclined his head. "We would be honoured."

"Great!  It's all ready so come on down."

A year ago, if someone had told Link he was going to have dinner with his deity father and two friends from Termina, he would have thought that person was crazy.  It felt a little crazy even still. Everyone treated his father so normally here. Mostly normal; he still got the occasional look due to his height. At dinner, both Anju and Kafei were at ease, even sitting so close, and they involved him in conversations as much as they could. Deity never really understood the desire to fill a space with words but he would answer questions if asked and chuckled at all the correct places in stories. 

So it was about as normal of a dinner as Link could remember with his father.  Eating, talking, watching the baby make a horrible mess of itself.  Kafei was scooping out a third helping for Link and he glanced up at the god while setting the bowl down. "Did you need more?"

"I am fine. My thanks."

"For someone your size, I expected you would be the one who ate more but I can see why Link has gotten so tall.  He eats enough for an entire family."

"Mmmmph!"  The boy pointed his chopsticks at the chef with a glare but Kafei only laughed. Deity sighed at his son, wondering how long it would take him to remember his manners.

"Link, do not speak with your mouth full."

"Mrmph mrr."

Anju giggled as she scooped soft rice porridge for the baby. Not much ended up inside the infant but she did not seem concerned.  "So, Deity was it?  Does your height run in the family? Will Link be tall as well?"

"In a manner of speaking, yes. Though I doubt he will be quite as tall."

"Well, that's nice! He seemed like such a small boy back then but you two are so similar, it's no surprise he grew into the height. I bet he'll be taller than Kafei someday! 

Link blushed at being the focus of the conversation but at the same time it was nice.  It felt normal in a way he didn't get to experience often and he was glad the couple had invited them to dinner.  A part of him grew sad at the idea of leaving in a couple of days but a bigger part couldn't bear being away from Hyrule forever either.  He'd miss home and Malon and everyone else he'd grown close with.  But Termina wasn't that far away, right?  He could probably come visit!  As long as the tunnel in the forest didn't just disappear someday, he could come and go as he pleased.  Now that he knew this place was just as normal as home, he didn't think he wanted to give it up.

Later that night in bed, he stared up at the ceiling with his hands behind his head, thinking about home and Termina and all the other places he'd seen since freeing his father.  He loved the idea of travelling and seeing new places but he also wanted to do things at home. When spring came, he wanted to start a garden maybe. He wanted to keep working at the ranch. Maybe he could convince Talon that it was safe for Malon to visit. And they had to keep patrolling for all those new monsters showing up. How could he do all that and find time to travel? 

He paused for a moment, then exhaled loudly.  He was only thirteen. There was definitely going to be plenty of time to do lots of things.  He bet other kids his age didn't worry about that.  Those thoughts definitely seemed more like the weight of adulthood on him than normal worries. It would be fine.

He'd find a way for sure.  

After all, wasn't he the Hero of Time? He'd find a way to do it all.
