"... I suppose it's unfortunate for your host. But you are not your host, are you?"

Upstairs

('It might well have cut her hair, if she hadn't suddenly flipped backwards to bend out of the way of the strike while drawing her Beretta. The kicking motion of her left leg as she retreats back to a scrambling fighting position might get a bonus disarmament if she's lucky - at any rate, her Magical Girl outfit will be out and she'll be ready to spin up Time Stop to figure out what the hell is going on with Link.'')

Mm... nah. She left an imprint on me, but I'm still Muramasa.

...Still. It's fun to think of her like a middle-school crush. Maybe entertain the fact that she harbored a few feelings for my host... little victories, y'know?


Ghh—!

(Link's grip is strong, so he holds onto the Master Sword as he gets kicked back. And just as Homura reaches for her Time Shield, Link reaches for his Sheikah Slate, a strange yellow runic symbol engraved on its screen...)

...

(He doesn't relax his stance, but...)

("Relax.")
>("See? You can fight.")

Homura: (holds position) ...I never said I couldn't. But if you only make the interest payments, you'll never get rid of your debt.

...You ever have anything like that? Small victories that are most likely delusions of your mind?


(...Link doesn't know financing well enough to understand the lingo, but he's sure that Homura's not doing what she's claiming she is.)

(The threat that robot represents... won't it only grow the more time she gives it? Don't all threats work that way?)

Homura: Not as long as I know what she wants. And she knows that I have it.

>("You're missing my point.")
("That emerald...")

(Link's saying... who's to say she'll stop at that one toy? Why not make two, or four, or an army? All laced with that cursed energy he picked up with his Master Sword?)

Upstairs

Homura: ...I suppose the only thing that would physically stop her are access to the necessary materials. Which for the moment, Miss Lune appears to be regretting her foolishness, but I guess that's beside the point.

>("Hayato's got this.")

(Link relaxes his stance, clipping the Sheikah Slate back to his hip and sheathing the Master Sword back on his back.)

Upstairs

Homura: (slowly relaxes from combat stance and puts her Beretta away again) I generally don't make a habit of depending on the kindness of strangers.

("It worked for me.")
>("It's how I proved myself.")

(Link may have been a hero of prophecy, but nobody in Hyrule would have known just by looking at him. He had to prove himself by defeating the four Divine Beasts, even if he was a stranger to the city-states who put their all against them.)

Homura: "No man is an island", is that it?

Er...

(Link's never heard of that idiom, but he thinks he gets what she means.)

Homura: ...(sighs) Allies are good, yes. But the fights I've been in have had a habit of going bad at the worst time. If escape is needed, at least one can fight another day.

The damned queen and the relentless knight.

#1301891: Feb 20th 2018 at 7:27:18 PM

Hmph.

(Once again, Link's been there and done that. He's seen his kingdom's grand offensive go down the latrine pit, all by one of Calamity Ganon's whims... but it all worked out in the end.)

>("Even if I died.")

megarockman from The Sixth Borough (Experienced Trainee)

Homura: And you believe that will always be the case?

Homura: ...pray that you are not wrong in that. (returns outfit to previous Mitakihara Middle School uni)

...Heh.

(Link notes that Homura has two of the three golden virtues - Power and Wisdom. But she is surely lacking in the third one - Courage.)

Upstairs

Homura: (looks at Link like she's trying to determine whether he's being honest or trying to goad a reaction out of her) Strange - it's normally been the opposite.

(It's about a 70/30 on the ratio...)

(Link wonders what she means by that... did she overclock the whole Courage thing in her past?)

"That's just my life, you should know this. A small victory is turned to burning failure, and further setbacks."
