"You never mentioned to me why you were sick of your husband." He repeated, and you sighed and groaned and you tried to get comfortable. "Is he mistreating you? Not spending enough time with you? Controlling you?" You nodded to the last one, and he smiled. "Oh, I see. And how is he controlling you? Has he taken over your job in the kingdom?" You nodded again, leaving him to simply hum and nod with you.
"I haven't been in control since we were wed. And it wasn't even because of that-" You took a breath, still irritated with the metal clamped around your hands and wrapped around your chest and waist. "It's because right after we found out I was expecting our daughter, he didn't want me 'doing to much', and since then he's basically taking over my job as the queen."
"So it's all been over a child for, how long now? Weeks? Months? A year? Two?" You nodded again, and he started walking around. "I'd also hate for you to think that a random stranger, someone you'd normally think to despise, is treating you better than your husband." He got his face dangerously close to your own, and a slight blush trailed across your cheeks when he pulled away. "Such a sweet little thing you are. I don't know how his majesty could possibly be mistreating you when he's so lucky to have a wife like yourself."
"He's not being mean, just," All of the lectures flowed into your head, being the reasons that you had left the castle in the first place and now somehow wound up here, and you let out a sigh. "Just overbearing. I can't do anything right in his eyes."
"Well, you did something right in my eyes. You wound up here, and that made my day a little better." He now noticed you discomfort and walked over to start undoing the chains. He broke all the locks and then let you fall into his arms, and he sat you up against a wall. You started coughing again, and he gently rubbed your back to help you. "What can I do to return the favor?"
"Don't let Rhoam find me." You said, and he nodded and kneeled down by your side. "I don't want to go back to Hyrule. I can't stand what's been going on any longer."
"You're safe with me. I promise." He started stroking your hair again as you stopped your coughing fit, and then rested his hand on your head. "Since you say your not particularly happy with your husband," He started, tilting your head upwards towards him. "I may be able to occupy you..." His lips only brushed against yours before he pulled himself away, and then he stood up and walked away. "Would you like anything to eat?" You desperately nodded, and he smiled and went to get your food.

"Astor," You started, taking a bite of the bread he gave you. He looked up from his seat, and you were going to get up and sit next to him, but with your legs wounded and basically asleep, you couldn't. "When and how do you plan on killing me?"
"What are you talking about?" He asked, leaning back in the small wooden chair he was sitting. "The real question is why should I? You deserve better than the life your living right now. I don't wish to worsen it on you." He gave you a small, genuine smile.
"You're the Yiga Leader, are you not?" You asked, stuffing the last piece into your mouth. "One would only assume you captured me to kill me."
"I'm not the leader, Master Kohga is. Besides, how could I possibly kill someone I was just immediately fond of?" He gently tapped around his glowing ball, and you squinted at him, more confused than anything else. "That doesn't sound very... right."
"But-" He hushed you, continuing to admire his pink ball. You slumped back against the wall, praying that you'd soon be able to stand, so you could walk over and slap him. Sure, he didn't seem like he was planning on killing you.
Still kidnapped you in the middle of the desert.
