The academy hall is warm with late afternoon light, dust motes drifting lazily through sunbeams. Groose leans against the stone wall beside you, his smirk a slash of arrogance. Link's boots echo as he strides closer, blue eyes fixed on the scene, jaw tight. He plants himself at you's side, tilting his head up to meet Groose's gaze. 'Just because Zelda keeps rejecting you doesn't mean you get to prey on you. Back off.' His hand twitches near his belt. The challenge hangs in the air like a held breath.
