he blinks, tilting his head to the side a bit. ”His voice is magical..?” His voice is perked with curiosity, ”…Is it that good?” He mumbled to himself. There is no doubt that he had not heard the other Link speak at all since the two found him. It doesn’t bother him – there were a few quiet people on Skyloft and he can usually speak enough for two people. Now he was just curious.

               He gives the squash a quick once-over, and satisfied, he nods at the child, silently telling him he had done well, settling the mince into the small pans, a hum leaving him as he did so, the edges of the dough folded over and pinched together over the meat, giving it the appearance of a drawstring purse. He offers the boy an encouraging nod, before opening the oven and sliding the pies in to bake.

“I’m not sure what he puts in it but its amazing when its fresh off the fire – there’s some herbs in there and spices…it warms your whole body up – even to your toes!” he laughs joyously, remembering the late nights when he used to stay over at the Pumpkin Landing and have a fresh morning bowl of soup as he felt around for ripe squashes

               “Oooh – you’re talented!” She giggles, ruffling his hair with a broad smile. “I can’t play an instrument to save my life, honestly.” She puffs her cheeks out, pouts playfully. As he gushes, she smiles, curls his hair around her waist as a makeshift harness. “Well, maybe we’ll be able to reverse engineer it if Link gets some – he’s always been good at that!” She says encouragingly, as the two drifted between rows of squashes.

               At his surprised tone, Proxi giggled, the sound musical. “Oh – Link can show you how if you’d like – he plays the ocarina to them a lot – or sings. I swear his voice is magical.” Proxi ruffles his hair, grins enthusiastically. “You’ll be very popular when you get back – with your magical pumpkin growing.” She pats his shoulder, before admiring the squash he picked out. “Ooh – I didn’t realize there was butternut squash that was ripe!” She squeals, obviously happy.

before he opened his mouth to ask, his eyes light up to the word pumpkin. At least it was something he was familiar with! When he used to travel on the Surface a lot, he spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was edible and what would make him sick – Fi helped him a lot. “I…-Oh pumpkin carving? That’s one of my favourite things I do back home – mostly because we get to make Pumpkin soup after,” He lets out a soft, but cheery laugh as he scratches the back of his head. “But I’ll grab a squash – or I mean I’ll see if I can grab one,”

               “Okay then! I’ll join you!” Proxi smiles, and when Link glances back, it’s to the sight of two enthusiastic people. His eyes soften, and he shoos them both away with a soft light in his eyes. “You’ve gotta tell me about this pumpkin soup – I’ve heard about it – but I’ve never gotten to taste it – we didn’t spend enough time in the past to really try it out,” She sighs, looking up at the sky.

just by watching the small exchange between the other Link and the soldiers, he could make out that he was very respected among his peers – that usually meant good leadership. Admittedly, the blonde made him a little nervous but the Skyloftian knew that he had no reason to fear him. After all he was always good at reading people; or he’d like to think so.

               “Oh – that’s right! You guys didn’t start eating meat often until you guys moved to live on the Surface!” Proxi realized, as Link opened his door, shooing them in and flicking a hand out to cast a quick fire spell to the lights. “Mince pie is basically the leftovers of other meat dishes that are cobbled together to make a pie – it’s usually savory, but the right ingredients can make it sweet!”

               “Link usually just makes it with leftover beef and some of the fruits – but if you’d prefer, I think Link has a few squashes out back he can make soup with – that’s what you guys eat most often, isn’t it?” Link escorts him into the kitchen, already pulling a bowl of dough out of an icebox. He does pause, before shaking his head gently.Link says

               “Aw, you’re such a cutie.” Proxi giggled softly. Link glances down, dark blue eyes unamused, before he raises an eyebrow and crooks a half-smile at them both, the trio walking down the bustling, busy streets of the town. At his thanks, Link lifts a hand and absently ruffles the dark blond strands, before dropping his hand and crossing his arms.

               As they passed, Link greeted several raucously loud groups of soldiers, all of whom seemed rather pleased to see him, though a few quiet inquiries informed him that Lana had left already, making him scowl slightly.

               Oh. He hadn’t realized his unwelcome visitor had been cold. He frowns, before sighing and unwrapping his scarf from his throat and quickly – but gently – winding the thick, warm fabric around the small, dark skinned child’s. Checking his work, he nods, satisfied that the warmth infused into the fabric would stave off the worst of it for now.

               “Awh, Link you do care!” Proxi teases, having been inadvertently bundled up along with the young boy. Link’s only reply is a less than impressed expression as he pulls the small boy to his side, intent on getting him into town, to Lana, and gone as soon as possible.

               “Wow. You’re from way in the past. Like way, way in the past there buddy.” Proxi smiles a little sadly. “There hasn’t been a Loftwing in Hyrule for at least three thousand years. They all died during the Flood.” Proxi manages to make her way from one shoulder to little Link’s, wrapping her arms around him in a tiny hug.

               “But don’t worry! We’ll get you home in no time.” Proxi reassures him, trying to sound upbeat. “We’ve just got to find Lana, and then… Well, I’m pretty sure that might actually take a while…” Proxi looks thoughtful, before she realizes something.

               “Link?” Proxi replies incredulously, before grinning and tugging on a strand of the blond’s hair. “Funny coincidence then! My grumpy friend here is also called Link! Well, General Link from the military grunts, but eh.” The pixie leans over, flailing her hands at him. “Surface? Kid, where are you from? I didn’t think anyone lived in the skies any longer.”

               Link had acknowledged his presence with a very short nod in the boy’s direction, not even bothering to speak to the sprawled child below him. He reached down, grasping the child and tugging him up into a standing position. The boy was so light, didn’t he eat? He turns around abruptly, gesturing for the child to follow him.

               “You look lost.” Proxi remarked on Link’s behalf, the general in question adjusting the bands of his bracers quietly. The lost little lamb in question had been on the ground for quite some time – likely a result of Cia’s fluctuating time portals, which had the unamusing habit of dumping people at the most inconvenient of times.

               “Got a name there, little airhead?” Proxi teases, before the general’s finger flicked her gently in the head. “Ow!”
