➹second flight

[shiningascent]

So... bored...

[Life is tough when you haven't got a Goddess telling you what to do all the time. Not that it wasn't tough before, but now it's tough and kind of dull to the point of Pit lying in the middle of town. On his face. Bored to death, one might say.

Yep.

Just gonna lie here.]

[Pit is much more handsome than those Ooccoo, okay.

There's no real response from the kid until Link touches his back, and he sits up with a jolt--]

WAGH!!

[twilightlegend]

[Sonic's not the only one with lightning quick reflexes BRING THE THUNDER and Link pulls his hand away as Pit sits up. He blinks in surprise a couple of times before letting said hand rest on his own knee]

I didn't mean to startle you.

[but at least he knew that Pit was all right now]

[shiningascent]

[Pit flutters his wings a few times, shaking them out before looking towards Link in confusion]

I-it's okay! I just... didn't see you there, that's all! Kinda snuck up on me...

[twilightlegend]

[except Link wasn't being all that quiet. And here people were telling him off about not paying attention]

So long as you're all right... [a pause] But what about your wings?

[he's not even bothered by the fact that you have wings, Pit. He's not even bothered]

[shiningascent]

[Pit has trouble seeing things coming after him if they aren't playing loud 8-bit theme music, bro. Blame the camera controls.]

Huh? What about my wings? They feel fine~

[Look! Flutter flutter flap flap! He's more surprised by Link bringing up the subject of wings than the fact he's not bothered by them...]

[twilightlegend]

[... Those goddamn Reapers and Ornes. 'A'9

[a pause. He stares intently at the wings for a moment Hey, Pit, are you going bald?]

Your feathers.

[it must be because he grew up on in a farming village, but who would have thought Link actually paid attention to birds? It's not like he did anything but chuck them at things]

[shiningascent]

[Trying to get between Pit and his donuts. AWFUL THINGS.

He folds his wings in, eyes narrowing a bit and looking obviously defensive]

Wh-what? There's nothing wrong with my feathers...

He's not doing a comb-over, Link. Forget about that. >8( ]

[twilightlegend]

[Hey now, we all know that if anyone would suggest Pit do a comb-over, it will be Sonic]

I don't mean- [Link looks a bit surprised but figures that the bit about flight feathers? Pit was probably aware of that already]

No, they're all a mess. [he looks more worried, but if Pit keeps acting defensively, Link will probably drop the topic...

And preen him anyway, but hey! That can always be saved for another thread]

[shiningascent]

...Oh.

[The angel flushes slightly, mumbling to himself as he hurries to pick at his wings and make them a bit more presentable]

Prooobably from lying on the ground. They're not always like this, I swear.

[no no no no no no touchyyyy Q__Q]

[twilightlegend]

[a pause... then a smile. The look on his face is clear; "You should look after yourself better." But even Link couldn't fault Pit for the haphazard appearance after being on the ground... Speaking of which-]

Why the ground? [because there are benches around and people are less likely to trip on you]

[shiningascent]

[That'll just net him a carefree grin in return. He's fine, he's fine! Really!]

It just seemed like an okay idea at the time, I guess! I was pretty frustrated, and I haven't been able to find a hot spring or a bath house anywhere, so...

[twilightlegend]

[there was a quiet, appreciative hum at the 'hot spring' before a quiet puff of air. Well, he couldn't fault the other for wanting a break, could he?

All the same...

He holds a hand to the other boy]

I'm Link.

[is it just me, or do you get this feeling that we've met before?]
