The freshness of the night replaced the warmth of the restaurant as soon as we closed the Stable's door. But Link's arms around me helped me a lot stop shivering, and I saw how happy he was to walk with me in the illuminated streets of CastleTown's downtown.

« You know what, honey ? », Link started, and I tilted my head towards him. « It's still pretty early in the night, so I was wondering... maybe we can go watch a movie ? »

« In a theater ? », I asked, and he nodded. « Yes, why not ? Do you want to see one in particular ? »

« Not really, I think we'll pick up the first one to start ? », he chuckled, and I laughed too.

I've always been a control-freak, someone who was unable to let go and to live freely, doing goofy things or just unplanned activities. Everything had to be planned, and more than everything, Father had to agree with it.

But Father started losing his control over me, and Link made me discover a side of life I've never expected. Being free.

« Sounds good ! », I answered, kissing him softly.

« I hope it will be a horror movie. »

« I didn't know you were fond of those kinds of films. », I said. « Well, you're listening to those heavy metal songs so... »

« I wouldn't say I'm fond of horror movies... », he shrugged. « And there's no link between metal songs and horror movies. »

« So why do you want it to be a horror movie ? »

« Because it will give you a good reason to jump in my arms. », he teased me.

« I'm courageous, I won't jump in your arms like a damsel in distress. », I confidently said.

« Oh, really ? »

« Really. »

« I bet you will jump in my arms. »

« I bet not. »

« Ooooh. Seems like my Princess wants to be a challenger. »

« You see, I know I won't jump in your arms because I will already be in your arms. »

« But, you know there will be an armrest between us ?

« But, you know there's love-seats in this theater ? »

« Really ? »

« Yes, really. »

« I don't want to sit where teenagers did dirty things. », he shook his head.

« I'm sure they didn't do anything. »

« Oh Zel, you're naive if you think some teenagers didn't go into an empty and dark theater in the middle of a Thursday afternoon to do dirty things far away from their parents. », he bursted into laughter.

« What ? This is... », I exclaimed.

« Something many teenagers do. », he said and I faked nausea.

« Wow. I would've never imagined it, but you seem pretty aware of that topic... », I said. « Have you ever... ? »

« Some of my friends did. »

« By Hylia ! »

« Strict parents turned them into very creative teenagers. », he said, cry-laughing.« But no, I never hooked up in a theater... well, unless you want to try something new tonight... »
