The candlelight in the Elde Inn wavered, stretching shadows like ghosts across the floor where Link kept his vigil. He sat motionless beside Ralis' bed, the room thick with a silence broken only by the soft, regular breath of the sleeping Zora prince. Then the door whined open. Link's head lifted, his blue eyes cutting through the dimness to find you on the threshold, a bowl of clear water and a folded towel in hand—an interruption to his lonely watch. The hero in green studied you, taking in the late hour and the careful way you held yourself, a wordless understanding passing between you in the flickering light.
