“Wh– What do you mean I’m ‘not cute enough’?” Linkle’s brows were raised high in pure bemusement, hands whipping to her hips as she pushed out her chest in a proud stance. “I don’t need to be ‘cute,’ I’m a hero! You don’t need to be cute to be a hero, you just need something that works!” She says so, though the wear and tear on her outfitting was rather obvious from the battles she’d faced. She could at least do with some tailor work.
( ♔ ) Immediately upon meeting her, the words fall from his lips without further discretion. It is a habit ill-befitting of royalty, yet he neither notices nor cares for the consequences. Rather than nitpick his own manners or lack thereof, he would prefer to speak his mind.
“I don’t mean you aren’t cute,” he clarifies, as the very idea is a grave misunderstanding. “You’re plenty cute, but your outfit is reeeaaally distracting. It takes away from your charm when people are focusing on how dusty your clothes look.” With an exasperated sigh, his eyes fall upon a tear slashing through a hem, casting the entire outfit into further disarray. “Plus, it doesn’t look like they’re gonna work for very long if you don’t take better care of ‘em.”
