Since requests are open... may we perhaps have the Chain with an SO who's really into astronomy and space? Just the biggest star and planet nerd to ever walk Hyrule.
(Totally not inspired by my own geeking out over how gorgeous the night sky is in TOTK, nope, not at all).
I'm going to have to do some research for this one. ^.^* But I'll do it for you, Nordic!!
Masterlist
Content under the cut!
The ship rocked softly back and forth on the seas, cradling the sleeping heroes as the moon gently draped the bedazzled sky with it's softer toned light.
Wind was still awake, as were you. Both of you were trying to keep the course of the ship on the right track.
Your lantern light was the closest thing you had for a light source to look at your maps and charts. You consider yourself lucky to have this on hand. Only Wind seemed as well versed in the stars as you were, hence the agreed upon decision to leave you both to your devices while everyone else went to sleep in the hammocks the small ship provided.
Wind was silent as he stood by the wheel.
You mapped out the course for the next island you were to make land, following your previous notes and comparing them to a map you had purchased before you had set sail.
A short sigh escaped your lips as you started to pack up. You couldn't keep doing this. Your eyes were strained and the moon made it difficult to see the needed stars for you figure out if you were going the right direction. You'll give it an hour or two- let the moon move further across the night sky and then start recharting what you needed.
"Going to bed?" Wind asked quietly.
You shook your head. "I'm tired, but I'm not going to leave you alone just yet."
An bitter chuckle tumbled from your lips as you stretched. Your spine and ribs popped and cracked from the needed release of strain. You saw Wind flinch but ignored it.
"If only it wasn't the full moon tonight. It would make this a lot easier."
"I can't even see the Farore Constellation." Wind sighed in despondent agreement. "I know these stars... but we're technically sailing over an island right now, so I doubt I'd actually be of much use as a navigator."
You snort. "That's why I'm up with you and not sleeping in the hull of the ship with the other guys."
There's no other sounds afterwards. There's a moment of stillness, save for the callings of the wind and the waves in their frequent call and response symphony.
"I've actually never been on a ship before." You admit, breaking the moment.
Wind jolts, almost as if he was startled awake. He tilts his head with a cheeky smile growing on his face. "Really? You're a natural at navigating. I never would have guessed."
That sets your frustrations at ease for a bit. You sit down against the railing, turning your body to talk to more experience sailor. "I just like looking at the stars for fun."
"Fun?" Wind gets a credulous look as he giggles. "I just knew the stories I was told as a kid. But I wouldn't say that comparing them to maps was fun."
"I know the stories too, sir and it's fun for me." You rolls your eyes playfully. "It just means we make a good team. I wouldn't be able to steer the ship for the life of me."
"You literally just turn the wheel left or right."
"I'd steer us right into a cliff face."
Wind giggles again.
"You actually know what you're doing but I actually know where we're going." You grin. "It works out."
"I guess so." Wind shrugs. "Better us than any of the others guys."
"They'd capsize the ship."
"Don't joke like that. Bad luck."
You smile. You don't necessarily believe in luck, but you've heard sailors to be the suspicious sort. You'll let him have this. "I retract my statement then. How far along are we following The Star of Demise?"
"About 15 knots, why?"
"Change coarse to sail towards Nayru's Trident." You grin. "We'll hit land fall by morning."
"Perfect."
