he gift—wraps self-sacrifice and calls it love; he has never known how to love any other way. he has never given his heart in scraps—— it has always been laid bare, whole and beating, on the altar.
there is something about you that i admire. i admire your courage to stay soft when the world has been nothing but rough to you. how oh so different you are from me.
The Rito Champion may hold back just a bit to keep this race entertaining.
He'd be a liar if he denied how much he misses the thrill of the battlefield. A spark of competitiveness is just what Revali needed.
It may not be a big challenge to him but it's better than nothing.
—!
Perking up!
“Right! Okay!”
That’s something he can’t mess up! And perhaps the other would see that he isn’t a useless fighter!
Diving off the ledge into the domains waters. Who knows if he would get there faster than the aerial master, but he wouldn’t particularly be slow.
"That is... quite a lot to unpack."
He tilted his head to the side, curious but interested in her words.
"... When did my sleepy head become all grown up?"
*Jenna looked up at him, she was very serious about her new abilities, and explained them to her dear friend*
“I can manipulate and change the form of plants, flowers and trees. I make bridges and summon shields with leaves and branches, and I can craft objects with them, +
He didn't move, pondering in silence, back facing Vasa.
"... if you wish to keep your fins busy, I spotted Lizalfos down Zora river when I did my first round."
Cue him calling his gale to shoot himself up in the air with one strong flap of the wings.
"If you get there first."
“But Revali… the flowers, the trees… they talk to me! The nature around me… I can manipulate it somehow!
I-I can craft bridges with the branches of trees!”
Drooping a little at that.
Well, what else could he expect? It wasn’t like he heard nice things to begin with anyway.
Returning his hand to his side.
“Farewell then, Master Revali.”
"You shouldn't practice out in the open without anyone keeping you safe. This is reckless behavior. Jenna, you should know that."
He shook his head.
"Pick a safer spot next time you wish to exhaust yourself to the bone."
“Uh…”
*Jenna blinked*
“Well, you have a point. The thing is, I was practicing my new power before I fell asleep out here. It is getting difficult by the minute now, but perhaps later on it might be easier for me.”
He briefly glanced down at the hand before looking back at Vasa, keeping his wings crossed.
"Vasa it is then. Now, if you will excuse me."
The Rito Champion turned around, ready to depart. Nothing stopping the Zora to question him more.
"I've got a sky patrol awaiting for me."
Proud huff, finally glad to not be doubted anymore.
Though, he shakes his head at the inquiry.
“No, just Vasa is fine. I’m not a fan of titles before my name.”
Offering his hand out for the other to shake, at least trying to be respectful after their brief scuffle.
