The clopping of Epona's hooves echoed through the stillness as they descended the path on the butte where Lover's Pond remained secluded. The moment she reached the sand, Link tugged slightly on the reins, pulling her to a stop. After sliding off the saddle, he held a hand up to Zelda, who allowed him to help her safely place her soles in the sand.

"Why thank you, sir knight," Zelda said playfully, curtsying with her Lurelin wrap.

"Of course, my dear Princess," Link said, bowing in response, her hand still held in his.

The two laughed before starting their walk down to the shore, their arms swaying in synchrony.

"It's so late, and yet my body feels as though the night is still young," Zelda said, looking up at the large moon above them.

"Even after hearing your lullaby? I'm surprised I didn't put you to sleep," Link teased, causing the princess to furrow her brow, miffed.

"Excuse me, but last I checked, I am not Riju's age," she retorted. "A lullaby won't force me to sleep like in my younger years."

"Right, right," Link chuckled as he nodded.

Zelda fumed for a moment before giggling again, humming the tune of her lullaby as they continued their walk.

"The beaches of Faron really are gorgeous when the moon is out, aren't they?" she mused. "I didn't pay much attention to them at night during all the preparation, but it truly is a sight to behold."

"Why don't we enjoy it a little longer then?" Link asked, coming to a stop in the sand. "I have some extra dishes from earlier stored in the slate. We could have a little late night snack if you want."

"A snack? Like a little late night picnic?" Zelda asked. "You don't think we'll get sand everywhere?"

"There might be something in the slate we can place down on the sand," Link said. "Besides, we ate in Lurelin and didn't have a problem."

"I suppose that's true," Zelda said. Suddenly, her eyes lit up before averting them toward the ocean. Bringing a finger to her chin in thought, she began to mumble, "actually...I am of age now, aren't I? Is that why she gave me those...?"

"Zelda?" Link called gently. "Is something wrong? If you really think the sand is an issue, we don't have to eat out here."

"Hm?" Zelda hummed, looking toward Link with glassy eyes. Suddenly, she snapped back to reality. "Oh! No, that isn't it. In fact, a little late night picnic is a lovely idea. I may even have something of my own to contribute to it."

"Really? What would that be?" Link asked curiously.

"You'll...see," Zelda answered simply. "For now, why don't we find something to sit on? I find it hard to believe we have anything in the slate we can use, though..."
