Zelda's Glitchy Rune

Zelda's Glitchy Rune Part 3

Impa woke in the morning with a sore arm and a mild headache. She was known to move in her sleep, but it seemed like her body had decided to have an adventure all on its own. As she assessed the aching in her arm and head, the idea of her body moving on its own reminded her of the night before. With a small gasp, she threw her blanket off of her and looked at herself in horror as she saw what had happened.

Throughout the night, thoughts of Zelda's elegant form drifted in and out of her dreams. The resulting wet spot between her legs was made much larger by her unconscious hand exploring the area without her knowledge. Judging by how sore her arm was, it must have been happening nearly constantly.

After a few moments of getting her bearings, Impa noticed that there were sounds coming from outside her tent. It sounded like Link and the Princess were up and preparing for the journey. Gathering her courage and putting on a fresh set of clothes, Impa opened the door to her tent and stepped into the morning sunlight with her hairbrush in hand.

"Ah, Impa! Good morning!" Zelda's voice spoke with a carefree tone that soothed Impa's anxieties a little.

Impa blinked away the sudden sunshine and looked around the camp.

Zelda was sitting very properly on her log with a plate laid across her knees. Link knelt by the fire, stoking the fire and prodding something that crackled loudly against an iron skillet and smelled fantastic. The horses stood in their positions near the edge of the camp. Their saddles were packed and ready to move on.

"Um... G-good morning, Princess!" Impa approached the fire ring and began brushing her long white hair as she sat down. "How'd you sleep?" She nervously tested.

"Wonderfully!" The princess replied, "I don't exactly recall going to bed, but I do feel WONDERFULLY well rested!"

Impa bit her lip and nodded. "That's great, Princess."

Link turned to her and offered a plate and fork as well. There was what looked like a prime meat curry with rice on the plate, a fairly lavish meal for an expedition, but there was royalty along for the ride.

"Th-thank you, Link." Impa said as she shakily took the plate and fork.

"Are you alright, Impa? You seem unwell." Zelda asked with genuine concern.

Impa slowly looked up from the breakfast to her princess. Her eyes drifted over the princess' chest and hips. They were both fully clothed and covered, but Impa now knew what they looked like with less fabric. She felt like she was trying to swallow her whole tongue, but she responded "Yeah, I'll be fine. I wasn't fortunate enough to sleep very soundly."

Link's long, pointed ears flicked as she said that.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have any idea what kept you from resting?"

"I... not exactly... I think it was just some bad dreams. Nothing to really worry about." Impa poked at the rice on her plate and felt her face go red.

Link stood from the fire and sat with his own breakfast.

It was quiet for a moment, then Zelda said, "Well, I'm sure that getting some meat in you will do you good!"

Impa's face skipped a dozen shades of red as Link choked on his curry.

Zelda innocently looked from Impa to Link and asked, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Link kept his mouth shut, but began laughing and trying to swallow his mouthful of curry.

Impa's face continued to redden as she said, "Y-you're right princess. I probably just need some FOOD. I'll eat and then break down my tent." She began shoveling rice and curry into her mouth, refusing to look her princess in the eye.
