"Hi, Shadow Link!"
He was holding the hand of a little girl, staring at me with a tilted head and a curious look shining in her grey eyes.
"Hey, Red." He smiled and looked at the girl. "Just relax, Aki. You're more likely to witness a pig take to the sky before Red hurts you."
She nodded and stared at me some more before whispering, "why do all your...your friends...friends look th-the same? Are...Are you sure they...aren't the same, same person in d-different outfits?"
He frowned at her stammering, I think it was her stammering, at least. "Pretty sure. They're at different heights, you know."
She flushed and hid behind Shadow Link.
"Red, this is Aki...Aki, if any of the Links were to hurt you, he is the least likely to, he wouldn't harm a fly." She briefly moved away from Shadow Link and looked at me. She gave a small wave and then returned to behind Shadow Link.
"Hello," I replied, but I don't think she was looking at me anymore.
"I take it Vio didn't listen," He said softly.
"He's bent on helping you..." I swallowed. "I agree with what he's doing--even if it is out of guilt and because he misses you."
"It's fine then...He can help me get Aki out of the forest. Some good can come out of it." He sighed.
"Blue says you slept with him at the fire temple," I told him. "Is that true?"
His face went red and he stared for a minute. "I...Yeah."
Red frowned. "They were making out, though."
"What?"
"Blue and Vio..." I knew immediately from the look on his face that my words hurt him. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, maybe I should have let Vio tell him that. "They made out."
"What? I thought you and Blue were--" He shook his head. "Aki? I think maybe you should..."
"I'mma g-go stand over....stand where I can't hear y-you," she said, leaving.
He turned back towards me. "I thought you and Blue were together."
"We are...I did kinda sleep with Green though...We're all...kinda into each other."
Shadow Link looked crestfallen. "Oh. Can't say I'm surprised--I'm pretty dead." He muttered under his breath, "It's better he's with you guys than me, you haven't tried to kill him."
"I'm sorry." I felt bad. "I didn't know..."
It was like he hadn't heard me. "Did it mean nothing to him? He said he loved me..."
"Shadow Link?"
He snapped out of the melancholic daze he had been in. "Huh?"
"I'm sure Vio didn't mean anything by it."
He only shook his head. "I don't think I care anymore. You should wake up soon, Red."
