Link felt slim fingers caressing the side of his head, and knew instantly that it was Sheik's hand.
"Don't open your eyes. He wants us to get going, but he doesn't want to wake you up, and he's making the cutest face, glaring down at you," said Dark straight into Link's mind.
Link couldn't help but shiver at the intrusion in his mind, and he heard Sheik laugh above him.
"Did I wake you?" he asked, and his face did look very cute as he looked down at him. At least, the half of it that Link could see despite the mask.
"Not really," said Link, pushing himself up. He still felt disoriented and tired, but most of his strength had returned. He gave a meaningful glare at Dark Link, who was sprawled on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Good morning sunshine," said the shadow with a feline smirk.
"Where is the deity?" asked Link, putting on his cap and carrying his pack.
"Outside," said Dark, falling back on the floor into the shape of Link's shadow. "He said he would wait for us beyond the gates. That's why Sheik wanted us to get going soon. Apparently Oni has some grudge with the goddesses. Which now means that we have a grudge with the goddesses. And he also doesn't think it's such a hot idea to let Zelda know he exists."
Link felt the blood draining from his face as he jogged downstairs and out of the inn. "So we can't go straight to the castle?"
"That wouldn't be a good idea right now," said Sheik suddenly appearing behind Link.
Link gave a strangled gasp. "Sheik! I...I had forgotten that you could do that," he said, putting a hand over his heart. It have been a long while since he had dealt with people or things jumping on him. It seemed like peace time had spoiled him, and he felt a little dumb in front of Sheik.
"I thought you had noticed me," said Sheik, narrowing his eyes.
"He was talking to me," said Dark, reforming.
"Perhaps it would be better for you to not speak to each other like this. Talking to your shadow is bound to attract attention."
Link blinked, and pointed at Dark. "He has gray skin and red eyes."
Dark shrugged as if to say True, true...
"Can you...reform into something less eye catching?" asked Sheik.
"Oh, am I a little too attractive for your eyes?" asked Dark, winking at Sheik. Link felt his face burning up.
Oni Link hit Dark Link over the head, knocking his cap off and making Dark's long black hair spill out.
"That's enough. We have to leave now," said the Deity. "A gerudo squad approaches. The Spirit sage has noticed the Sheikah's absence."
Dark Link gasped, looking at his hands. He held Link's face, forcing him to look straight at him. "Let me use your eyes!" he demanded, and Link nodded in shock.
Throught Link's eyes, Dark saw that he now had tanned normal skin, and his bright red eyes had dulled to an off carmine that only shone red in the sun.
"What did you do to me?!" cried Dark
"They're coming!" said Sheik, pulling on Link's arm.
The fierce deity pulled Dark up and carried him over his shoulder while the shadow yelled at him.
