Lillibet
For as swiftly as it comes and goes, Lillibet does not miss the glint in Fyr’s saffron eyes or the way he swings his head just so to create a curtain that briefly obscures his handsome face from her. She is confused, though, when the tone of his question does not bite when paired with that sharp glance, nor does it foster any unpleasantry. Was the look one borne of jealousy at her jest, that she had invited others to stay the night? Lillibet doubts that very much. Or was it how easily she had called him dangerous? If Ledger had taught her anything, it was that having the capability to harm someone did not inherently mean that person was dangerous.
She wonders at its source for a long moment, neither rushing to answer his question or refusing to do so. Instead, she waits patiently for the fire-wielder to return his gaze to her where she secures it with a casual, dismissive shrug. “I’m attracted to proving that I can survive dangerous things.” That she, without magical abilities to protect her, can navigate this world without fear.
Well, without showing her fear.
Her self-imposed shame at being nearly-traitless lives on, and this is, perhaps, the closest she will come to discussing it outwardly with some who isn’t Link. And all it took was the comfort of the witching hour and a man who glows just as she does beneath the canyon’s moon. If only she had known her assessment of him had been the reason behind his change, the former Princess might have then found the courage to comfort him with the touch of her soft muzzle, and prove that she had not meant it out of fear.
And if I refuse?
Her pensiveness departs with an amused snort of her flared nostrils, thankful for the return of his intensity. “I don’t think you will,” she answers matter of factly before mulling over whether or not to leave it at that. After a moment, she decides to add: “But I will not hold it against you if you do. All I ask is that you remember me in the winter months, when I have inevitably frozen to death in a cave.”
