Kiki Smith,

SHARP GAZE REMAINS TRAINED ON FLICKERING FLAMES AS THE PRINCESS SPEAKS. the shadows that dance across his face only serve to hollow it out, accentuating an exhaustion that even he is hardly aware of, these days. there's plenty you don't know. though he doesn't look to the princess, he knows how she's looking at him: this wide-eyed sadness that makes his stomach churn. he can feel the ache of the chasm hidden behind his ribs yawning open, threatening to swallow him. ' you know— ' something bitter comes forth, and link can't swallow it down. ' maybe if you bothered paying attention, you'd realize that you aren't the only one stuck here. '

knight appointed finally speaks his mind and the wave of nausea that hits zelda threatens to overwhelm her to the point of expulsion, of wishing to become less-than-nothing. instead her tears are silent as they fall, cutting clean lines on sand-encrusted cheeks. left knee is pulled closer against princess' chest, body trembling with revelation and remorse as his words cut her down to size almost instantly. she blinks and drags her gaze from his profile to the fire crackling in front of them, marinating in this awful tension as she tries to find her own words now.
