✉ Partners In Heir ✉ Sidlink ✉

✒ 5 ✒

And lo, a week came and went, a search team found Link and Sidon and the nourished babe simply cause Link was so out of practice with horse taming he was hopeless in his attempts. The search team then escorted them home faster to Zora's domain. Upon arrival Link and Sidon were told to rest in their bedchamber's where we lay our scene as Link sat with babe on the bed. Sidon with wobbling webbed legs paced himself. Or rather tried to back and forth in the room. His eye was bandaged and held a patch over it. While the pain was gone, Sidon would find it hard to walk yet see with one eye. It was astonishing what he had to do just to survive, was this a life of a King to be battered and bruised so much and often?

"Allow me to think aloud dear spouse," Sidon said with arms crossed. Link looked up from Arthur and responded. "Say what you will my King, lest I deem it necessary I shalt not let thy words leave the room," he spoke in a more calmer tone as he rocked the sleeping boy in his arms, Link had gotten no time to shave or bathe leaving him with a mass of blonde hair on his chin and some soot on old clothes. He rejected the thought to shave his beard, but did allow a change into clothes more suitable for rest, these being his boxers and nothing more. "I believe that this act was intentional to release that giant Hinox on us!" Cried Sidon. Causing Link to shush him as the babe merely stirred. "Sidon! You need not shout when I am a yard from you!" Scolded Link.

Sidon raised his red palms in defeat. "I apologize, but after the week we've dealt with we were near sacrificing the rightful owners to this domain!" He replied in a whisper yell. Link patted the baby's back and checked him for stirring. The baby remained unmoved. "Sidon, now is a time to recover. Questioning if it were the Gorons who made this act on us has no value to it now..." Said Link. Sidon stopped mid pace. "Gorons you say? Could that be it?" He questioned. Link shook his head. "I narrowly see why they would want hurt for this domain..."

Sidon turned to his husband in silence. "Think of it will you not?" He asked. "A Hinox of red and black attacks a King of Water while being shown as weak towards ice. Dost thou not see the correlation? It is true that Death Mountain is a far. In order to bring the Hinox forth this would be a deliberate terrorist act..." Sidon for told. Then Link felt an odd sensation. This was the thought that not only had Sidon made a point, but the thought of confusion. "What would be the Goron's motive?" Asked Link. Sidon replied with an uncertain look. "I know not, but I fully intend for a meeting with Yunobo the morning after we heal," he declared.

Link simply waited for Sidon to sleep by his bedside, and leaving with Arthur in his crib he traveled to go out to the old pub and get drunk as a skunk. Knowing this as his healing. With pipe between his teeth and grogginess in his soul he walked about and took a hit of hemp from his pipe. Between becoming a father and discovering that the Gorons are most likely to start a war, he chose to avoid the thoughts. As he had no say. All there was to do was to do was to obey the rules. He was a knight after all. With that he defied the only rule to be relatively near his highness, and snuck out to drink.

The baby was asleep in bed back home. Link knew he was to be okay with his other father. Leaving Link in thought about what went down. He lost his job, or quit rather, and then he gave up the life of a Hylian to be with this Zora. Yet inside he feared death after his venture. Having courage didn't mean he was not afraid, it meant he was gonna suck it up. He didn't wish to run though. It doesn't change the fact that he was letting what its get him.

What if war breaks out? What if I cannot fight for Sidon or Arthur? What about me being unable to fight when the time is deemed necessary? What if Sidon cannot defend himself? What would become of Arthur? What were to happen to me had none of this happened? The kingdom? Hyrule is on a rocky start, Zelda is dead, the King is dead, Link is now apart of three Royal families of Zora, Termina, and Hyrule. With that thought, he drank down the remaining shot and partook in that pub songs and laughter.
