temp. pinned

[quotebot against humanity. @cIowneryism]

your face finally got that splash of colour it so desperately needed.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

. . . hmmmm. maybe he's not so bad after all.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

. . . be brave for the princess.

[ he didn't say it in a condescending way, surprisingly. ]

now. off you go. and stay out of trouble . . .

do let me know if you run into any of these . . . "yiga" clan members.

[ giving him a slight smack on the head. shoo. ]

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

that sounds like a hyrule problem. if you stay here, you should be safe.

[ . . . he just. pats his head. he's not exactly good at being comforting. ]

there, there.

no one will come after you.
you are not your counterpart.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

yiga— what ?

[ raising an eyebrow. ]

you're not trying to mock me, are you ?

[ he sighs, thinking for a moment. then he places a hand over his head. ]

that hood of yours . . . it is a good disguise. it kept you safe during our trying times — it should keep you safe now.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

gh—!

[ moving his cape to look at him. with a glare. ]

the princess has far more important duties than babysitting you—what on earth are you hiding from ?!

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

what. are you yapping about.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

sigh . . .

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

hol on he needs his damn reading glasses for this.

glasses on, squinting at the little minish. he raised an eyebrow.

"vaati ? isn't that supposed to be some big hyrulean demon ?"

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

. . . squints. why is this rat so persistent. upon closer inspection . . .

"you're not a rat, are you ?"

placing a hand down so he can climb on.

"then why the hell did you bite me ?"

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

ugh. you are unfortunately right.

she's fond of you. what are you, her little pet ?

[ he points the staff at him. unfazed. ]

get out of the way and mind your own business. or else i'll have to take you out myself.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

YEAOUCH—

SLAPPING THE LITTLE RAT AWAY. OUGH. hopefully that thing didn't have rabies. gods. ouch.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

. . . ew, now there's rats in here ??

he just tries to shoo him. completely unaware.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

put that down, child. you might hurt yourself.

[ he sneers, hitting his staff on the ground once. as a warning. ]

whether she likes it or not, i am looking for the princess's wellbeing. so stay out of it.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

<— moping. brooding, even.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

. . .

[ crumbling to his feet, holding onto his staff weakly. he trembles. why must he lie . . . why must he keep lying ? why did he lie to her ? ]

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

[ for once, he does not reply with a snarky remark. instead he just grins, swallowing his pride, and bowing slightly. ]

as. you. wish.

[ he hit his staff against the floor, and in a flash of light and colors . . .

he disappeared from sight, an echoing cackle lingering. ]

[𝑨 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝑹𝑼𝑳𝑬. @REVERSEDQUEEN]

it's 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣.

[ she would grit her teeth. the thought of her needing his guidance. his smug attitude. the idea of him using her again. it only fueled her rage. ]

now. 𝘽𝙀𝙂𝙊𝙉𝙀.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

. . .

you /will/ need me, princess.

at your most hopeless hour. when you're most desperate for an answer.

you will never stop needing my council and advice.

[𝑨 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝑹𝑼𝑳𝑬. @REVERSEDQUEEN]

well, we don't need hyrule's triforce anymore. nor do I need you.

you molded me into some villain of a princess. a thief. a charlatan. and unfortunately, I'd rather leave that behind.

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

oh, princess, don't be ridiculous. it was never personal.

at a certain point, i truly saw potential in you. i thought i could make you the perfect ruler.

but no. you'd be nothing without my guidance. you wouldn't even know about hyrule and its triforce if it weren't for me.

[𝑨 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝑹𝑼𝑳𝑬. @REVERSEDQUEEN]

so you always intended to betray me.

I'm shamed to have been fooled by the likes of you. . . to think I put my trust into someone so. . . so—!

[ her staff would strike the ground, echoing through her chamber. those bloodshot eyes widening, and brows furrowing in rage. ]

[𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 — ! @flawlessYuga]

you were always a stepping stone for me to get to the throne ! i—

. . . you . . . you were . . . but then i grew attached to you . . . but i couldn't . . .

i couldn't let all my efforts go to waste because of some . . .

foolish sentiment . . .

[𝑨 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝑹𝑼𝑳𝑬. @REVERSEDQUEEN]

then why. . ?

even if you were so desperate that you had to use me— that moment. that was not the yuga I knew. the one I trusted.

it was a fool blinded by power.
