Diana was sketching Link as he slowly practiced his sword techniques.
Link: So you're going to visit the other kingdoms?
Diana: Yeah, It'll be nice to get out.
Diana: Besides my father wants me with him so I can learn something about "war and peace".
Link: Wish I could come. But Momo won't let me.
Link: But I was thinking you could hide me in your luggage!
Diana: Let's not start an international incident and several wars.
Link: Ugh. Fine.
Link: How long will you be gone for?
Diana: At least six months.
Link's sword flies out of his hands.
Link: Six months? But that's like... 30 times 6!
Diana: It's at least 6 months. Could be more.
Link: Wow... A whole year without you...
Diana: Oi! Sound more distraught!
Link:(faking it) Oh no...
Diana: Hmph! You have a point!
Diana: A year without you... Maybe I'll find someone to marry!
Diana: Or even better! I'll find an ancient prophecy about how I need to save the world! Without you.
Link: As if!
Link: I'm more likely to defeat Momo! And get out of this country!
Link/Diana:....(smiles)
Diana: I'll be sure to write. So you better write back. And write when something's happened.
Link: Be sure not to get into trouble. It would be SOOO annoying to have to play out the damsel in distress troupe.
Link: As you know, I'm more about a manly adventure of self-discovery.
Diana:(rolls eyes)
Link/Diana:...
Link/Diana:(chuckles)
Diana: I better prepare my luggage. I think my father said we leave tomorrow morning.
Diana: You better be there.
Link: Worry about not forgetting your makeup. Wouldn't want people confusing you for a monster.
Diana: You're just mad you'll never be taller than me.
Link: In a year, I'll have enough inches to make you shake!
Diana:(blushes) Phrasing!
Link: Huh? What's wrong with my phrasing?
Diana: Maybe in a year, you'll be smart enough to get it.
Finishing her sketch, Diana packs up her pencils and leaves to pack up her stuff. Link uses the rest of the day to prepare a little gift.
(The next morning....)
As the servants packed the bags of the King and Princess, Link snuck over to Diana to say their goodbyes.
Link: Jeez, a whole year without you threatening to have me hanged...
Diana: A whole year without your high jinx...
Link/Diana:...
Link: Without you, I'll have so much more time to train. So don't be shocked when you get back and I'm considered a legendary swordsman.
