"Hello! I'm so glad you arrived safely, I was monitoring your progress from the river to make sure of your safety." He went across the three of you and shook your hands but seemed to hesitate when he reached you.
"Excuse me, I do hope I don't sound rude but you look very feminine..." You had to fight from laughing. His confusion was understandable, the uniforms made male and female bodies look exactly the same and the helmets covered hair.
"That's because I am a girl." You giggle near the end, unable to contain some of the bubbling laughter within you. The Zora manages to become an even darker shade of red from embarrassment.
"I am truly sorry for my ignorance, please do forgive me." He pleads with the cutest puppy dog eyes you'd seen yet. Weird, a shark like Zora with the most adorable puppy eyes.
You weren't even going to deny that you found him attractive, it just seemed like a crime to do that to yourself.
"It's fine really! I promise, I understand how you were confused." You give a sincere smile. Sidon seems a little taken aback and the red fades to a slightly dimmer colour, but still alarmingly darker than when he first came in. He coughs into his hand after he gives your own hand a firm shake and notes that even though he only shook your hand, he can smell you on him. Surprisingly he feels very eager to immerse himself in that smell. He steps back and the meeting finishes smoothly. You are dismissed to explore and you quickly go to get changed, thankful for the change of pace. Almost everyday for the past eight years had been training, it was rare that you got such a long time to relax. You visited the normal sights, nearly got zapped by the Lynel at the top of Ploymus Mountain and managed to almost get swept away by the river all in one day. You have to give credit to Sidon for being a caring prince, especially seeing as he is the only reason you weren't swept away by the current.
It was only five o'clock when you grew bored of walking around on your own, but your pals had gone to bed early saying they wanted to sleep while they could. You were sure they just wanted their alone time together. Getting them to go with you would be an adventure for another day. Somehow, all day you had just not seen the glorious statue in the centre of the courtyard area. Now, on the other hand, you were in complete and utter awe of it. You were just staring at it, eyes wide in splendor. A cough sounded from behind, so you whirled to see Sidon.
"That is the statue of my late sister, Mipha. She was a champion who fought alongside Link and Zelda, I am truly proud to say she was my big sister."
"She looks so beautiful..." Sidons chest puffed out a little.
"Indeed, over half of the male populace wanted her heart. It was a big shock to find out her heart already yearned for someone, a Hylian no less. None other than my dear friend Link."
"Bull! ...Really?" He hummed his confirmation.
"She was fins over heels for him. I never noticed when I was a young Zora, but time revealed all eventually. I'm glad it was Link though. Any other may have hurt her." You remain quiet, still staring at the statue.
"I'm also glad Hylians are permitted to enter our domain now, a good chance to have a good chat with wise travellers and well-trained farmers such as yourself."
"How did you...?"
"I could smell fresh dirt and wet grass from your skin, the pleasant smell of someone connecting with the earth like a farmer never truly leaves. Though I can tell you are well trained in fighting, Link would not have allowed you to come were you not." You were stunned unsure of what to say. Naturally you said the first thing that came to mind.
"My grandmother wanted to lick the champion Revali." You instantly want the ground to swallow you. Anything in the world you could have said and you let out a family secret such as that? Sidon's eyes widen, staring at your face that was instantly filled with remorse, regret and shame. He could only laugh in the end though. It was a harmonious sound, contagious two and eventually you started to giggle with him. You held back escpecially though, no-one will know the cackle of a laugh that can escape you.
"Why did she want to lick him?" He asked between strong chuckles.
"I have no idea. Either infatuation or she just wanted to know what he tasted like!" You yowled, clutching your stomach a little. Tears escaped your eyes and Sidon clapped you on the back in concern, chuckles stopped.
"Are you okay?" He mutters and you're sent into another fit of laughter.
"I'm fine, I swear just laughing that hard hurts my stomach and I swear I wasn't crying."
"I'm pretty sure you were." He grins, hand still resting on your shoulder blades
"Oh my Goddess, forget you saw it, and forget the thing about my grandmother, I feel like she's going to come for me in my sleep now." You giggle. Sidon roars out a laugh much like his fathers and bends backwards a little.
"You are a very funny girl! I'm glad you are here. I feel like my days are brightening already." Is that what they call flirting? Oh Goddess, this sort of thing had never happened before so you weren't sure but you were incredibly flattered.
"Thank you, I'm glad to be here." You grin. Sidon squints a little.
"What's wrong prince Sidon?"
"I can't look directly at you for you are too dazzling for my eyes to behold." Your face goes completely red and you suddenly have no idea about anything, your identity, the year, where you were, it all just disappeared from your head.
"S-says you! You literally sparkled before!" You return and he laughs once more and flashes his trade mark grin. There's that fucking sparkle again.
"I must leave for now dear soldier, but it has come to my attention that I do not know your name?"
"It's _______ _________. Nice to meet you."
"Your name is beautiful! Truly a name to be proud of, you hold it well. So long, until tomorrow." He waves to you and approaches the stairs.
"Goodnight, prince Sidon."
"You may just call me Sidon, should you wish." He stops and turns to you, a small happy smile on his face. You turn slightly pink.
"Ah, of course, thank you." You blurt, suddenly ashamed of yourself again.
"Goodnight, sleep well, dear _______."
This shark-boy may actually just kill you.
