THE ONLY RESPONSE SHE GETS FROM HIM IS A SOFT SHAKE OF HIS HEAD, WHICH CAN ALSO BE SEEN AS A WORDLESS REFUSAL TO ACCEPT HER CONCERN. He doesn't see why it should be a problem, and proof of that is how, without a second thought, he leans forward to reach for one of the skewers, carefully plucking it from its place over the flames. Now that it's closer, he realizes how mouthwatering it looks even if it's far from the finest delicacy. He pauses for only a heartbeat, then turns toward her, extending the skewer before his stomach has the chance to make a sound ❝ Here, ❞ he says, the words soft but firm, not leaving room for any argument.
❝ it's fine, really ❞ his tone gentler now, reassuring. If he had offered her his food it was because he was willing to share — SIMPLE AS THAT. There are no expectations of getting anything in return, no hidden motives, just the wish to show the same generosity others had shown him when he had found himself in her shoes. Yet, Link can sense there's something more to her concern, a hesitation that goes beyond the food itself ❝ You'll have two and I'll take the other two ❞ he adds, his gaze steady, not once breaking. By dividing it equally, he hopes to ease her worries. To show her there's no reason to feel guilty for accepting or as though she is taking too much.
WITH PERMISSION, : SHE TOO STEPS CLOSER TO THE WARMTH OF THE FLAMES, their flickering light reflecting from the black &. golden armor upon her figure. ( observant had the molten golds been ; yet weapon was not reached for. neither did she summon her own in return. ) ... ❝ thank you, ❞ gratitude voiced by angelic tune, woven with warmth &. accompanied by a nod of her head. so, THE WARRIOR OF LIGHT takes seat upon the ground, this moment of rest welcomed. ethereal warrior she may be, but she too could tire. she simply forges through it. her skin unscathed, armor wields no marks upon it ; but that is only a testament to her skills &. strength, not of a fact that trouble was not encountered. ( for you always seem to find it, do you not, hero? )
ANOTHER LOOK TAKEN AROUND, : THE SPOT HE HAD CHOSEN TO CAMP UPON SECURE. but his voice broke through the short - lived silence, &. it prompted glowing hues to focus upon him ... from there, to the flames. this is where sarastus paused herself, before gaze lifts once more, ❝ have you eaten anything yourself? ❞ comes a query, though spoken with a neutrality, concern is embedded into it.
THE KNIGHT MOVED SILENTLY THROUGH THE MOONLIT ANCIENT RUINS. The air was cool and crisp, the stillness of the night broken only by the distant hoot of an owl. As he navigated the labyrinth of pathways, he eventually noticed a large open courtyard where vines twisted around old pillars, and the remnants of what might once have been a grand fountain lay at the center, now dry and cracked. They had told him that he may be able to find clues that helped him understand what had happened to her there. But where ?
He began examining the area though suddenly a chill ran down his spine. As if there was a palpabable energy there, an undercurrent of magic that made the hairs of the back of his neck stand on end. He had company. His hand instinctively moved to the hilt of his sword, drawing it out of its sheath and readying himself for anything that might come ❝ whoever you are I suggest you come out ❞ Link's voice broke the silence that had reigned up to that instant. And, despite his calm demeanor, there was an unmistakable edge to his words — a subtle warning.

THE MORNING SUN ROSE HIGH OVER THE ARID LANDSCAPE OF DORNE, its heat already palpable even in the early hours as he guided Epona towards the towering walls of Sunspear. Days earlier Link had thwarted a band of outlaws he heard was terrorizing local villages. And, even if to him it didn't seem too important, the fact that a complete stranger had decided to help had earned him the gratitude of the Dornish — and even an invitation from Arianne Martell herself to visit her family's ancestral seat in recognition of his bravery and skill.
When he finally reached his destination, he was greeted by a pair of guards who he followed through the corridors. Though, his attention was more in the exotic mosaic of colors, sounds, and smells the Dornish court seemed to be, than in the small conversation they tried to have with him until they got to the great hall. To his surprise, there weren't many people there, the quiet room contrasting with the bustling corridors outside. In all honesty it offered a brief and welcomed break, as the doors behind him soon opened. The soft noise making him turn ❝ Princess Arianne, ❞ the knight began, bowing his head slightly ❝ it is an honor to be here. ❞
