✉ Partners In Heir ✉ Sidlink ✉

"That's...not traditional to Hylian customs I'm aware...however it is a rare occasion between two males to be betrothed but given the circumstance its what has to be done," Dorephan said. Sidon nodded. "I'm sorry to say this is true. Vah Ruta will not work if we don't do what she desired..." He added. Link was red on the cheeks. "If it is what's good for Hyrule it must be done..." He said just above a mumble. Zelda turned to him surprised. "You were genuine about not remaining my knight?!" She asked stunned. "I didn't lie to ye princess," Link replied.

Zelda's brows knotted. "But we must fix the kingdom and rebuild my home! Who is to be my guard now?!" She asked worriedly. Link scratched his neck, while yes it was a massive deal to guard her majesty and assist in moving about the kingdom but many knights would jump at that chance no matter what. While there were no knights yet training or ready for Zelda, he knew the shieka would provide guards in a heart beat. "The shieka would be happy to aid you. I would be honored to train them along with Zora guards and soldiers if you wish," he said. "But I never lie to ye or monarchy love, and I meant it when I retired," he concluded. "I have a home in Hateno, its got a bed, oven, tables, books, and a desk for your studies. Promise you'll keep it in best conditions while I stay here to achieve the preparations...or you could stay at the inn at Tarrey Town. The innkeeper knows me," Link said. "Take my horse if you want," he added. Then Zelda stood there stupefied. "Link...why did you choose this path...?" She asked.

"I don't have any other choice do I? Given I'm to be a royal consort to the Zora kingdom," he said. Then Zelda was off to Tarrey as it were closer, and by morning to Hateno village. Sidon and Link were to enter the chambers of the Prince. So they did. Dorephan awkwardly moved his bottom to a side revealing a door like that of a attic door. Which opened for the two as they walked down the stairs. Sidon and Link stood in silence as they walked. Trying to lighten the mood between friends Link jokingly nudged Sidon's arm "It smells like your Dad's arse in here,".

Sidon laughed heartily. " I do wonder why that could be?" He teased gesturing to the door. Link snickered and gave a side shove to Sidon who nudged back. Only for him to stumble over his feet slightly. Link with his strength, caught him at the bottom of the winding glowing stairs. Their eyes meeting awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I just....I'm almost ready to be King and my legs are taking form like Father's...." He explained. Cheeks red as his main colors.

Link carried him like a baby. Sidon was shy for sure about the gesture. He was aware that he would have to ready Link for mating tonight. Something he feared with a man. He had attempted to mate before, but none of those suitors were able to bear him the offspring of the next royalty. It was good Link had showed when he did. Or else he would have had to choose from the guard and ask of them to challenge their own children in a training camp leaving the most capable one as the next heir. Of course what with Link having been chosen this would be more complex for sure.

       Link managed to aid Sidon to a nearby day bed beside an aquarium window. Sidon sat up. "Thanks. Soon I'm going to require the aid of a whole team of Zora to move me..." he mumbled. "Why is that so?" asked the young knight. "Tis cause I am coming of a mating age...s'costing my legs and mobility..."Sidon explained. Link's eyes widened. "Does it hurt ye?" He asked. Sidon laughed light heartedly.

       Sidon shook his head. "Only when I fall...on the plus side I'm more fertile," he teased. Link blushed. "Not yet, don't fret...Oi! That rhymed!" He said lighting up a tad to make Link relax. It only half worked. "What say ye we go deal with that bastard of a Lyonel out there eh? We kill the one on shatter-back, sell its guts and take the money to a tavern eh?" He said. "Sounds pointless and dangerous, given that for one its shock arrows will do horrid damage to ye given yer made more up of water than I, and fer another its going to return on the next blood moon," Link pointed out. Sidon sat up albeit shakily with a more proper straight and correct posture. "Link...thou hunts yes?" He asked.
