“Hey Zee hey Zee hey Zee hey Zee hEY ZEE HEY ZEE--”
Zelvaati turned to look at the fusion. “I don’t give a crap about whether you’re bored or not, Vidow.”
“Can you play with me?” Vidow asked, ignoring her. Zelvaati sighed.
“I’m busy.” she said. Vidow groaned, irritated.
“You can leave your magic stuff alone for one minute!”
“Why don’t you go read in the library or something.”
“You can’t have possibly read every book in there, go find something, Vidow.”
“Don’t underestimate me.”
Zelvaati stared at him. “You read every book in the library?” Vidow shrugged.
“It was just a general statement, but yeah.” he said, then grinned again. “Now, can you play with me?”
For a fusion that’s two of the smartest people I know, he sure is childish. Zelvaati thought. Maybe it’s because of that personality clash. At least the… other side effect is okay. He hasn’t killed anyone yet.
Zelvaati turned away from her desk and sighed. “Fine. What do you have in mind?”
“Well…” Vidow flew into the air and sat there, hovering. “I saw Arcy walk by a while ago, and--”
“I am not participating in one of your stupid pranks.”
Vidow stomped his foot. (Which had no effect since he was flying.) “They’re not stupid! They’re a lot more thought-out now! Remember, I’m also Vio as well as Shadow! And Vio’s, like, really smart!”
True, his pranks were a lot better, more complex, and also a lot harder to notice since the two became a fusion, but that didn’t mean Zelvaati wanted to participate in a prank run that targeted the castle cook. She just wanted to find a way to change them all back, she knew Zelda hated being merged with Vaati and Vaati with her.
“Vidow, if you don’t leave, I will gouge out your eyes and stuff them down your throat so you can’t talk OR see where you’re going.” Vidow closed his mouth.
“Fine. What are you working on, anyway?” he asked, leaning over Zelvaati’s shoulder to see her notes. Zelvaati shoved him away.
“For someone merged with Vio of all people, you sure don’t know anything about personal space.” she said.
“But what are you working on?”
“A way to change us back.”
Vidow crossed his arms. “After, like, a month? But I’m fine like this! And I think the others like being more powerful than they were before.”
Zelvaati rolled her eyes. “Sure, you really LOVE having Vio and Shadow talking all the time in your head so that you have to do and say everything you think of because you don’t have enough room to keep it in your brain.”
“I’m dealing with it perfectly fine.”
“I don’t know why you refuse to call yourself crazy, because you are. Accept your insanity.”
“That would make me weirder.” Vidow floated down to the ground again. “So, what do YOU want to play?”
“I want to play, ‘I work on what I need to work on and you sit down and stay quiet or just go away.”
“It’s fun to me. Why don’t you see if one of the others want to play with you.”
“I want to play with YOU! Besides, they’re at Hyrule Castle explaining to the king that Zelda isn’t coming back until they fix this or until she actually gets along with Vaati so they don’t make you so grumpy all the time!”
“So can you play with me?”
“No. That’s final. Leave me alone and play with the cat or something.”
Vidow’s shoulders slumped and he walked out. “Fine.” he said. Zelvaati watched him leave, then turned back to her work.
Why does he only want to play with me? Why not the others, I’ve only seen him hang out with someone else ONCE since we all fused together. It’s irritating! I just hope he listens to Vio sometimes so he’ll have some sense to leave me alone.
