➹third flight

[shiningascent]

[What's white and gold with feathers all over? This guy, groggily wandering about Mac Anu like he's just woken up from a very, very long sleep. ...Or maybe not very long, considering this is the kid who'd set a personal record for sleeping three years straight. Not on purpose, of course

Pit stumbles into a group of NPCs as he wobbles along, rousing some complaint and concern-- 'Is he alright?' 'Watch where you're going, clumsy!'

He doesn't seem to mind, or even notice, mumbling to himself as he checks over his Relic.]

Ooogh... I just had the biggest... longest... weirdest dream. Feels like I've been out for ages.

...'Least I'm not... [yaaaawn] A ring... this... mumble grumble ...

[ But Link what about that Great Fairy-- darling that's when you do this~

The angel looks thoughtful for a moment (rare, we know)]

You ever get that feeling where you're awake, but still kinda dreaming a bit? I think it was something like that... so when I felt someone touch me I was all "Aaah!! A strange guy!" but it's you, so... it's cool! Heheh~

[twilightlegend]

[p-please don't remind him of the Great Fairies. Anything but the Great Fairy.... says the Club-user to the Staff-user, HELLO 8I]

... Hmm... [and Link looks like he understands where Pit is coming from. Thanks, Lanayru. Thanks, Goddesses and thank god you didn't say that to Sonic. The AoStH reference would have been impossible to ignore]

It must have been quite the dream then, to have confused you so.

[shiningascent]

[She'd be pretty commonplace back home, I mean, the Syrens used to go *~*flapping free*~* when I was a little bitty angel! :D I'll be over here with my two hit kills]

It felt like it went on forever! There was this biiiiig hall where a lot of people were gathered and showing off performances... and everything looked like it was going to be really, really spectacular! Everybody was so excited! And then... ... then...

[twilightlegend]

[Oh, Pit... I'll be on the opposite side of the arena, knocking people out in one go]

... [Link listens attentively, because this seemed to be something that Pit was quite animated about. The thought of people filling an entire hall reminded him of Hyrule Castle, honestly]

Then?

[shiningascent]

...Then the actual performances started, and they were... underwhelming. Like really, really... they built it up so well and then boom! Crash! It picked up a little bit near the end, but... yeah. Talk about a disaster. And everyone was really gloomy afterwards but it was still really crowded, so when you bumped me I was all "Aaaah! Nonspecific Action Figure!!"

[twilightlegend]

[...]

Nonspecific Action Figure...?

[he reaches forward to just pat Pit's head. It couldn't have been that bad]

[shiningascent]

I... I have no idea. Sorry~

[back to grinning brightly, leaning into the head-patting and laughing]

So, how've you been?! It's been a while, right? Anything exciting happen?

[twilightlegend]

I've been all right. But I wouldn't be able to tell you if anything happened...

[he's barely in the Root Town save to resupply] Have you been sleeping this whole time?

[shiningascent]

[At least you've been keeping busy!]

I don't really know. I mean, I don't feel like it's been that long, but... angel time and regular time don't really mesh, so.

[twilightlegend]

[an amused smile. No, time worked in strange ways if those Legends he's been told meant anything. The Temple of Time certainly helps drive the point home.

But a pause and a quick once over causes Link to point to Pit's wings then the trail of feathers (now blown around the town) he had followed. You're still molting, Pit 8| ]

[shiningascent]

[blinkblinkflutter--]

Oh! Don't worry, that's normal! It's kinda like finding hair in places after you wake up, they just come loose some mornings! ...Er, evenings. Whatever time it is!

[I'll brush them when I get hoooome-]

[twilightlegend]

[but look at that knot- oh, Goddesses, it probably wasn't going to do a thing, was it? Link just shakes his head with a sigh]

I suppose there's no helping it.

[he is trying quite hard to resist the urge to preen you]

[shiningascent]

Don't worry, I'll get them straightened out! Now that I'm more awake, it'll be waaay easier, too~

[brusha brusha bruuusha...]

[twilightlegend]

[... head tilted smile. Oh Pit.

At least the trail of feathers just makes you easy to find. Link can't turn into a wolf here and track people down by scent, after all]

Did you get anything to eat while asleep?

[he's sure this isn't actually a problem (because some part of him says it isn't) but figures he'd ask anyway]

[shiningascent]

Hm? Um... I dunno! I don't think I've really mastered eating and sleeping at the same time... but now that you mention it, I--

[rrrrruuumble...]

...Eheh... heh... yeah~

[twilightlegend]

[there's a raised eyebrow at that. Eating and sleeping? Really now? That didn't seem very healthy-

Link puts a hand over his mouth to stifle the slight laugh. Welp, your stomach seems to be quite capable of answering on it's own. The Ordonian points down the street before holding a hand out for Pit as an invitation. If the angel has been asleep all this time, he probably doesn't have a lot of money. Pit can pay Link back some other time]

[shiningascent]

Huh-- yeah, let's go! [Let him just grab that hand, swinging it around excitedly before going into that odd little hop-gallop of his, halfway pulling Link along the street. He'll pay you back in hearts, he's got plenty of those! You like hearts, right, Link?]

[twilightlegend]

[if they weren't on a different HP system, Link would really like those hearts! But he lets himself be pulled along, walking normally since his sword is sheathed. Nothing like becoming friends over a meal. Even if it's not quite the same as a home cooked one]

Anything you like in particular.

[shiningascent]

Oh, I'm not really picky! Hmmm... but since I just woke up, breakfast food, breakfast food, what's a good... aaahhh, now I can't decide!!

[twilightlegend]

[Link usually just had porridge for breakfast... Or soup. Soup is always tasty]

Hmmm... [Now's as good a time as any to pick a food. The stalls are filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items - snacks, meat buns, bread, fruit and so on - and Link's got some spending money on him. Scavenge away]

[shiningascent]

[After some consideration, Pit decides on a sizeable waffle plate, piled high with the fluffy things and drowning in strawberries. Lots of food for a growing angel, right?!
...Sorry for that dent in your wallet, Link]

Whooaaaa! I didn't think they'd give me this much!!

[twilightlegend]

[Link just stares, slightly slackjawed, at the amount of food Pit just got. What the- why are you ordering a Belgium Waffle in a place like this? sob, the last five hours out in the field]

...

[yea, he's got nothing]

[shiningascent]

[He'll pop the first bite into his mouth, humming happily as he chews, then swallows]

!!!

Aaaah, Link, c'mon! You've gotta try some of this, it's soooo good!!

[twilightlegend]

[...]

[there's a quiet puff of air before Link moves to stand beside Pit. He raises a handsome eyebrow and wonders... How is anyone suppose to eat that monstrosity of a sweet?]

[shiningascent]

[Fork. Knife. Have one.]

Come on, come on, come on!!
