Fried bananas. 😋 🍌
I'm sick, 🤒 depressed, 😔 and I want to spread my sadness to everyone. 😢 So here goes:
It was late, but they had finished eating. Link was about to lie down for a moment when he noticed his traveling companion, Revali, searching for something in the bag he used for correspondence.
He couldn't say they were friends, but he had already moved past the initial stage of distrust. Having lost his memories meant he couldn't trust just anyone who appeared and claimed they had once been best friends.
- What are you doing?- He asked when he saw Revali holding a bunch of Tabantha wheat and cane sugar.
- Oh! I feel like making a dessert.- Revali replied with a smile.- Do you still have those mighty bananas you got from fighting that Yiga?- 😋
- Uh, yeah.- He checked his bag and found the fruit. - What are you going to do with them?- 🤨
- What else? Fried bananas!- He enthusiastically grabbed the bananas and started preparing the dish.- Haven't you ever tried them before?- 🙂
There was a moment of silence before the Hylian answered.
- I lost my memory, remember?- He replied coldly. 😒
- Oh, I forgot, sorry.- He apologized sheepishly.- In that case, you should try some, just to see if you like them or not.- 😅
They remained silent. One cooked, while the other watched.
Until the rito spoke as he stirred the food in the cooking pot.
- When I turned eight, my dad would leave me alone at home, our roost.- He smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on the pot.- He was a postman, you know. And he always came back exhausted after a long day, so tired he'd fall asleep, even standing up.-
Link watched him, but didn't interrupt, so he could finish.
- That's when I thought of making him a dessert. I looked in the cupboard and when I saw the bananas, I thought I'd fry them.-
He stirred a little more before covering the pot.
- At first it was a little difficult, because I kept burning them due to carelessness. But with practice, I started to improve. Of course, I didn't do it all the time, only on the days he had the longest routes.- Suddenly, tears began to soak the feathers on his cheeks.- We would sit together, me on his lap, while he told me about the places and people he met along the way.- 🥲
He paused for a moment, trying to wipe his tears with his wings.
- I'm ... I'm sorry, it must seem absurd to you that I'm crying over something so, so insignificant. But, for me, they were the best moments of my childhood.- 😢
It was understandable that, without his memories, Link couldn't know if he had shared something similar with a family member or acquaintance. However, he understood that Revali was suffering because, apart from him, he no longer had anyone else in that world.
He didn't know what to say to comfort him, but he approached the rito and placed a hand on his shoulder. Revali turned his head to look at him, and after a few moments, smiled.
Then he accidentally bumped into him as he suddenly stood up when he started to smell something strange.
- AH, THE BANANAS!- 😱
A while later, they were both sitting together, each with a plate of slightly blackened fried bananas.
- I hope you like it.- Said the rito, trying to get a bite to his beak.- Just be careful eating it because it's hot.- 😮💨
Link looked at him for a moment, then took a piece, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.
- It's... delicious.- 🤤
- Really?- He asked incredulously, and after seeing the blond nod, he tasted the fruit.- Hey, it's true! A little smoky, but nothing that changes the flavor much. I'm a genius. 😎✨
They laughed and continued eating their dessert.
