#i imagined them drinking slushes in a park having deep conversations in early summer-- like that felt like such a teen vibe

[silentaura]

" -- i often wonder , what more i could have done for him , my father . "

the premonition she'd received the very night of her 17th birthday that she had withheld from everyone -- even her most trusted companions . perhaps , in hindsight , she could have been more forthcoming . her father had most certainly been correct on many fronts , including her failings . was it fitting that , above all else , she'd failed him ??

" i know the past eludes you , but do you . . . perchance remember him at all ?? king rhoam bosphoramus hyrule : it was he who ultimately appointed you to my side . he had always thought quite highly of you , and for good reason too . you were an exemplary knight and even more , you carried the master sword as if it were a fifth limb . in stark contrast , he . . . " thought very little of her .

sipping from an empty cup if only to anxiously fill the space left between her thoughts -- as if she was uncomfortable with the topic of conversation but compelled yet to talk and further test the boundaries of link's memories .

" . . . he rests heavy on my mind these days . "
