SO SAY THE WORD AND I'LL BE RUNNING BACK TO FIND YOU  Rest might as well be a foreign concept for the Hylian Knight. Seyka sent out a letter immediately in order to contact her family. No doubt they would want word of her well-being. But she needed them to help the city wherever they could. Afterwards, it was a never ending process of coordinating as much of the chaos into some semblance of working order. Many portions of the castle were off limits due to sections being destroyed. Not to mention, they were already understaffed as it was. Normalcy won't be coming home anytime soon. As much as she wanted to help with rebuilding or helping the people, she couldn’t put too much strain on her body. When she felt the tasks at hand had been handled properly or entrusted in the right hands, she quickly excused herself. “Now… what should I do next?”Her immediate desire was to find an escape. A moment of reprieve to collect her thoughts. Luck would favor her as she caught sight passing by another familiar blonde. The young man from Ordon. “Hello there, Link.” She greeted him. He was supposed to be inducted into the Hylian Knights. What he got instead was a chain of events spiraling out of anybody’s control. “You’re… going to be pretty busy soon, aren’t you?” The Hero of Time had requested him to go to Kakariko. Volga, the Dragon Knight from the battle with the Shadow Dragon, is waiting for Link as well. “Could I bother you and borrow a little bit of your time?” she asked. “It's a shame we never did get a proper introduction before we were thrown into all that happened. Now it seems you're about to take off just as you got here.”

 "I'm sorry to say this, but I gotta go. This wasn't really my fight to begin with. I just came in because I was one of the few folk with a weapon." Xiotis' words echoed in his mind as he started his preparations. Pity she felt that way, because her usage with her weapon and her ability to heal would have come in handy. Had she stuck around a bit longer, he would have gone to her himself.
He would meet Volga and Ashei (goddesses rest the soul of her father) at the gate, that much he decided immediately, but there were things that needed to be done beforehand. Supplies gathered, survivors assisted, and affairs in order. A quick letter sent to Colin and Dieter happened to be the most important thing on the list. To them, he sent word of what happened in the city and castle that day, and requested they come to the capitol as soon as possible to help with the relief efforts. If the Deku King and Queen could offer any support to the people, all the better.
The king. He needed to speak with that man soon. How did he know Morrigan? What did he mean with what he spoke of earlier in the day?
Having found a change of clothes and a replacement satchel, and a fair bit of soap to wash his injuries clean, he was just about to set off when an already familiar yet soft voice called out to him. "It wouldn't be a bother to me," he said quickly - perhaps a bit too quickly, but the exhaustion on his features explained that. After what she had done, she'd be feeling it if not more. Her injuries weren't something to take lightly.
He smiled, albeit a weak one, and ran his burnt hand through his messy hair. "Can't say this day has gone anything like I imagined. I want to follow after Alex and see how the princess is doing, but I don't know where they have gone." Were he a better hunter, he'd be able to easily track them. Though, could he even say that? There would be too many paths left behind by refuges to find a single trace of them.
Eyes darkening, he suppressed the urge to sigh. "What do you plan to do next, Miss Rozengale?" Already slipping back to his small town manners. With the threat over, it felt comfortable to do so. Seyka Rozengaletime for MORE ANGST gosh darn it ashei just got him feeling somewhat better MADE BY MEULK |

SO SAY THE WORD AND I'LL BE RUNNING BACK TO FIND YOU A string of guilt wrapped around Seyka’s heart when she heard his rushed words. The last thing she’d want was to commiserate alongside him over the disaster strewn before them. But the fact of the matter is neither Link nor Seyka could ignore the reality set before them. Her bright eyes flickered curiously. He spoke of Alexander so informally, like a familiar contact. The greenette couldn't help but take some delight in seeing he thought of others as friends. “The princess has been brought back to her chambers,” she explained, “Sir Elessar has been making non-stop round trips between keeping her stable and helping the injured.” It was the hardest scene to return back to. A permanent scar to remind her she wasn’t strong enough. Though it did reminder her of one little detail. “Visiting the princess at this time would be next to impossible. Security has been focused on her utmost protection. I hope you understand.” Impossible, but being a Hylian Knight, there were things she could get away with. She gave a small smile in return. “So to help with that, allow me to accompany you. If the guards see you're with me, then nobody will harass you.” Miss Rozengale? Seyka pouted softly at the stiff formalities brought back up. But hearing slightest comfort in his voice, however small it may be, was enough to let it passing for now. His question was met with a momentarily silence. What was she going to go from here? A valid question. “After our lovely visit by the Lightbringer,” she started, “It’s only natural that I must become stronger. I cannot abide by my pride as a knight to be tarnished by the ghost of distant past. I want to prove my volition is not hollow words.” She lifted her palm over to her torso hovering it a few inches to where her ribs were. She gave a sheepish smile though as she chose her next set of words. “I… just don’t know how to go about getting stronger. The city will be rebuilt in time. But… what remains in our hearts. That… as much as I wish I could remove – it shall remain a part of me. Just as I can imagine it would be for yours.”

Relief visibly washed over him at the knowledge that, for the time being, the princess was safe. Would they keep her in the palace for long? How could the citizenry react to what happened? They would either stand by her side and support her, or after seeing how easily the knights crumbled, rally against her and clamor for a new monarch to stand in her steed. Did Zelda have any cousins in line for the throne? They, too, would potentially begin to press their chances and see what might happen.
What he wanted to do was tell Seyka to grow strong by supporting the princess. What he wanted to do was tell her that she would feel better with time. What he wanted to do was offer her some marginal support in her time of crisis, to reassure her and give comfort in whatever way he could. But what he wanted as of late didn't exactly happen, now did it?
Later on, there was a high chance he'd regret his words. In those quiet moments when it was only him and his thoughts, he'd belittle himself severely for his selfish choice and put the full blame on any further harm she came to. But that's why hindsight was a bitch, wasn't it?
"Come with me," he said, and even as he did so, he wondered why exactly he did. It felt like his tongue worked faster than his brain, spilling and spewing before he had time to properly think better of it. "To prevent more tragedies from occurring, I want to find out what is going on, and why it is. There are forces moving that no one will be able to do anything about unless we can figure out the where, when, why, and how, and just because the Hero of Time arrived today to save us, we can't expect the same thing in the future."
Link's brow furrowed. "Ordon. Kakariko. Castletown. Midna's realm. There has to be something that can be done to stop this, and..."
He cut himself of quickly, his mind finally conquering his tongue. One hand clenched at his side, a series of internal curses going off in his head. "Forgive me. That was... I shouldn't ask an impossible thing of you. At this time, the princess needs you, and imposing on you like this is pure selfishness on my part." MADE BY MEULK |

SO SAY THE WORD AND I'LL BE RUNNING BACK TO FIND YOU Silence was greeted the golden-tuft Hylian. He asked her to come with him on his journey – wherever that it may go – in order to find the heart of the ensuing threats at hand. She was left speechless. It made no sense to be perfectly honest. She was a total stranger to him. The only ties they had were that they survived a near death experience together. Not quite the best impression anyone would want of each other. But despite it, he was asking her to still join him in whatever and wherever it may lead. She took a few steps forward to close the gap between them. Her green hues looked into Link’s pure blue. They were the prettiest eyes she's ever seen on a man before. She saw no malice in those eyes… but among the other emotions she saw storming behind those orbs, there was one that stood out the most to the greenette. Loneliness. “I wasn’t sure at first why the Hero of Time called you a Wolf,” she said softly, “But I think can see it better now. Wolves can be loners, or live among others. It all depends on their choice.” He didn’t need her help. Link could’ve easily taken off to his own business and let her be on her way. She was certain he could make it by on his own. If there was a will, there was a way. But it wasn't a matter if he needed her help or not. What stood out the most was the fact that he asked, he offered her to come along with him. Link wanted Seyka's help. “Do you truly want me to join you? We barely know a thing about each other beyond our combat capabilities. Do you trust me enough for this?”It didn’t elude what he was asking for is a heavy decision to make. It meant leaving Hyrule Castle Town. The part of her desiring that opportunity to see the rest of Hyrule was greatly appealing. But it also meant leaving her station. If her presence was elsewhere then she couldn’t be here to protect the princess. “It is true… I’m only one person. I can’t do it all,” she confessed to the conflict arising, “But confronting the enemy before further destruction arises is the best situation of our current hands. Learning all that we can and strengthening our resolve is better than waiting for them to strike again.” She reached out with extended hands to take his hand which balled into a fist. She placed her palms over his hand and smiled back over to Link. “It’s been rough for you, hasn’t it? Everything up until now… I can’t imagine how hard it’s been.”Losing his home, his way of life, his friends and loved ones, then has to relive destruction again. She gave his hand a gentle squeeze then released it. “If you'll have me, then I’ll come with you.”

Seyka's internal logic was completely on the mark. There were no ties between them beyond the last few hours, so why would he ask her to come along with him when he knew nothing more about her besides her name, her loyalty to the crown, and her ability to be useful in a tough pinch?
Because of her eyes.
Her eyes that showed the depths of her soul. Her eyes that showed what was inside her and what she was made from, offering equal parts unrelenting strength and soft tenderness. A warrior who would surrender her life in the name of her princess, yet a maiden who could soothe the hearts of those she encountered. And as much as he loathed the idea of pulling her away from the home that she knew - he truly despised himself for that, as the sting of the same occurrence having befallen him still caused his heart pain - he also knew that he couldn't do this on his own. (Or was it that he didn't want to when others might feel the same and want to do more for their kingdom if given the chance?)
His hand relaxed when Seyka grasped it, then fell to his side once more when she released. But not for long, as he reached out to quickly capture her wrist between gloved fingers. Light filtered through broken windows in the hall, debris scattered from crumbled walls, and the red carpet underneath had been stained with more blood than it could take. It didn't stop him from kneeling, one knee touching the broken marble floor, and bow his head so that his lips pressed a chaste kiss to the back of her knuckles.
"Thank you, Lady Rozengale"
A correction from the way he addressed her previously, his tongue having made a slip. He rose, carding one hand through messy blond hair, and took a deep breath. "When you are ready, I will be waiting at the gate where that man is. Take whatever time you need. It may be some time until we return to the capitol." From castletown to the mountains, to visit a grave and assist Volga as needed. And after that? To the swamps. He had a king to speak with. MADE BY MEULK |

SO SAY THE WORD AND I'LL BE RUNNING BACK TO FIND YOU If it were any other time, Seyka probably would’ve scolded Link for the extravagant gesture. Perhaps any other nobles would’ve soaked up the acknowledgement of someone socially speaking beneath their station, but it was cold, formal and didn’t speak directly to the person. They were paying attention to the title–not the one who carried it. Seyka wanted companions who would see her for who she was. Not another hoity-toity noblewoman in the political games set before them. A smile graced her lips bearing witness to a little more of the youth from Ordon. Simple, polite but a genuine soul who had feelings over all that happened. “It is an honor to work alongside you, Link,” she said when he returned back up to his feet. She looked down to her palm for a moment. A whirl of giddiness bubbled inside, letting it sink in the fact she had the back of her hand kissed in a non-creepy fashion. Honestly? What girl in her position wouldn't? “I have but one request to make~ If we’re to be traveling companions, I’d like it if you called me Seyka. Or Sey works too.”Definitely wanted to get that out of her system. She get why formal speech was important but goddesses, it was so… unfriendly. Like the person you address as ‘Lord’ or ‘Lady’ were so far above on a pedestal they couldn’t come down and relate to other people. “I will prepare for the upcoming journey. There are several people I must speak with first and matters to take care of.” At the very least if she was committing to this then she’ll leave Castle Town in capable hands. “I will make haste to meet up with you then.”But before she left, she couldn’t help but take a look around. Not too long ago the skies were clouded with smoke and dark clouds. Now they were clear revealing the blue that hidden away. Light illuminated within the cracks of shattered windows. Gleams of rays trickled across the broken glass creating speckles of reflected lights across the floor and walls. Very fitting, as if the light had been shattered with the rise of the recent events. “I hope you don’t mind me asking, but before all of this,” she made wild gestures to all around, “What was it you wished for? Like what kind of life did you hope to have?”

“What was it you wished for? Like what kind of life did you hope to have?”
He asked himself that every day. Why had he been so wishy washy? Why had he felt like he had to choose between a quiet life in Ordon and a life full of exploring the vast world? Why wouldn't he have both, with him following his wanderlust and coming home from time to time to recall his stories to the people he loved? Now that so much had been lost, the answer felt so painfully simple to him. What held him back all of those years hadn't been some duty-bound expectations put upon him by other people... it had been his own fear of leaving them behind in case they forgot about him.
"I wished for freedom," Link confessed quietly. And there it was; the reason for his extreme guilt given birth to words. Well, he'd gotten that, hadn't he? It didn't happen as he hoped, but no one could argue that he got exactly what he wished for in one way or another. The cost was too high, higher than anyone should ever have to pay, and it would dwell within his heart for a long time to come.
Bowing, he excused himself, leaving the question only partially answered. It would be something he revisited in the future when the two camped underneath the starry sky, a bottle of red wine passed between them, faces and chests flush with drink. Many things would be said softly that night, but until then, there were other things to focus on. Seyka Rozengaleit is very fitting for things ;~; *casually teases a future thread concept* wooo time to hit that gate up! MADE BY MEULK |

SO SAY THE WORD AND I'LL BE RUNNING BACK TO FIND YOU Freedom. His words echoed into her elongated ears. There were many ways the greenette could’ve interpreted that wish. It was a desire many could relate to; including Seyka herself. She desired a sense of freedom in order to curb a pent up desire to see all of Hyrule. To travel out and see the world and become wiser from it. People always said to be careful what you wished for, because you might get it. Indeed, but at what cost was such a desire worth? Seeing the weight of his wish lay bare in the open, gleaming from his pure blue eyes... Only the Goddesses would know how much he’s suffered. The worse part? He may continue to do so. The answers they all seek, it wouldn’t come without conflict and fights ahead. Seyka was left in silence watching as the blonde Hylian departed. His words held weight which remained perched in her chest. Still, she kept her gaze upon Link as he proceeded to go about his business until his figure was no longer in view. Afterwards, she looked back to her path to begin preparing for what she just agreed to commit towards. The greenette prayed this was the right choice to make.
