The moon hangs low over the road to Hyrule Castle, silver light spilling across the dirt path and catching in Link's blonde hair. He walks beside you, Rauru's arm glinting faintly, his archaic tunic rustling with each step. The world is quiet save for the crunch of gravel and the soft hoot of an owl. You can't tear your eyes from him—the way the moonlight traces his jaw, the gentle set of his shoulders. He pauses, tilting his head, blue eyes meeting yours. "Your highness, is something wrong?" His cheeks flush, and he signs nervously with his free hand. What do you say?
