Paranoid

Building

"Wind, what did you do? Why did I hear yelling?"
Wind smiled nervously and said, "Nothing."
Twilight just looked at him, clearly not believing what Wind said.
"Okay, fine, I tried to get him out of his room by saying there was an intruder, but he just got really mad at me."

Next to Wind, Legend facepalmed. "Do you know anything about the Yiga attack last year?"
Wind shook his head. "No. Why?"
"Dear Hylia... Where do you live? How did you not here about that?"
"I don't even live in Hyrule! I live on Outset Island! My sister and grandma and me just come here in the winter." Wind crossed his arms, and Legend groaned.

"Okay, so basically, the Yiga- you do know who the Yiga are, right?"
"Yeah, duh. I'm not stupid. They're the evil guys with the bananas, right?"
"Close enough. Anyway, they attacked Castle Town one day, completely out of the blue. Nobody had any idea that they were planning that, much less something of that scale. They pretty much wiped out the whole of central Castle Town. There were hundreds of thousands of them-" "That's a bit of an exaggeration." "Shut up, Twi, nobody cares. Anyway, there were a lot of them. Not even the castle was spared. They somehow managed to get in there, but most of them were stopped by the guards and knights. They did get the queen, though. And yeah. Not many people survived."

Just as Legend finished telling the story, Wild calmly walked down the stairs and right past the table.
The only thing he said was,
"I'm gonna go get some wood to build something for myself. Don't bother helping me. I don't need it."

He then went out the garage door, shutting it loudly behind him. Then, he poked his head through the door and asked, "Hey, Time? Can I use your truck?"
"Sure. The keys are on the rack there. They're the ones with the little blue ocarina on the keychain."
"Thanks." Wild reached over and grabbed the keys, then slipped back outside.

After a while, they all finished eating the spaghetti and cake, leaving some of both for Wild in the fridge. Then, Twilight tried to get Wind to go to bed early, but Time convinced him to let Wind stay up for a while. After all, this was their first night in the new house. It was unrealistic to expect a kid(Wind kept insisting that he was eleven, and so he wasn't a kid anymore) to get to sleep that early in this situation. So instead, they all watched a movie, at least until Wind fell asleep.

They ended up watching 2 and a half movies before Wind got sleepy.

Wild got back at around 11:30. He told Time that he had left the stuff in the truck since it was late, and that he'd get it in the morning. Then, he went up to his room.

Wild woke up early in the morning. Early meaning way before anyone else. 4:40-ish.

He got the wood from the back of the truck and brought it out back. Not all at once, of course. He didn't have superpowers. He found a good spot and started building.
He was pretty good at making things. He had a good amount of experience. He could definitely survive in the wild. He had done that for over half a year.

"Hey."
He grunted in reply to who ever that was.
"You're out early, huh?"
"I guess."
"So, what are you building?"
"Something."
"Wow. That was very descriptive and interesting."
"Heh."

Wild looked behind him and saw that Time was the one talking to him.

"Anyway, if you're hungry, we left some spaghetti and cake in the fridge. I'll come back out later to see how much progress you've made."
"'Kay." Wild turned back to his work, immediately getting sucked back into it.

Soon- or, what felt like soon, because it had definitely a lot longer than that- Wild finished the rough work. Now, all he needed to do was sand it down and paint it.

He looked up at the sky and decided that he should probably take a break. Judging by how high in the sky the sun was, it was probably close to noon.

He wiped his brow, grabbed his shirt(he had taken it off earlier), and went inside. Wind was sitting on the couch, watching tv, Twilight and Legend were sitting nearby, looking at their phones, Sky was talking to Time at the table, and Warrior and Minish were nowhere to be seen. They were probably off doing something else.

Wild walked over to the fridge, tossing his shirt onto a chair on the way there. He got some water, then went over to the couch. He climbed over the back and sat on top of it, right next to Wind. Wind moved away a little after he did that, making a face.
"Ew, you smell like sweat."
"Well, yeah, I've been working outside all day. Actually, it's pretty nice out there. You should play outside instead of sitting in here, watching tv."
"Meh."
"There's a pool."
Wind sat up straight and looked at him, obviously intrigued.
Wild chuckled. "And it's huge. It's got a diving board, and even a slide. Dunno how you haven't noticed it yet. The windows take up that entire wall."

Wind stood up and ran upstairs. He came back down wearing some swim trunks and ran right outside. Before he got outside, though, Twilight stopped him.
"You need sunscreen. Both of you."
"Oh, come on, Twi," Wild protested. "I've been out there since 5 in the morning and I'm fine."
Twilight stood up. "You're saying that now, but later, you won't be. Trust me, I used to work on a farm."
Wild sighed. "Fine. But I'll do it myself."
"Good."

Twilight found some spray sunscreen, which they applied outside. Twilight and Legend had decided to join Wind, so Wild used the sunscreen first so he could get back to work.

Soon after, he heard a laugh and a splash. He smiled. Sounded like Wind was already having fun.
