A GOLDEN GOD


IMPRESS THEM
- comment with your character, but don't leave a blank top-level (or subject line). today's mission, should you choose to accept it, is to tell us what your character would do or say to impress a potential love interest. what death-defying feats will they pull to prove their worth? what gifts will they come bearing?
- a more important question, though: do they deliver some promise as a suitor? good thing bakerstreet is here to tell you! repliers will comment on, critique and constructively criticize, and maybe even accept what's brought to the table.

You need help.

[ That is so rude to say, ]

Are you not a Knight? [ Eyes briefly look him over. ] Were you not addressed with the teachings of courtly affairs?
hylife: (12)

[personal profile] hylife 2023-09-14 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ boy does he!

if only a monster were around to attack and get him out of this ]


I - yes?

[ Link would like to teleport away when it comes out sounding like a question. ]

I mean - I was. I guess... I am again? It's complicated,

[ it's not that complicated ]
alligatus: (36)

[personal profile] alligatus 2023-09-15 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's not complicated.

[ Please forgive him Link, he is just... Very... ]

You don't just lose Knighthood because its complicated, unless you did something warranting your status being stripped?

[ Link crumples slightly.

ah,

his entire kingdom struggling to exist for 100 years while he dirtnapped might be something he did which fits that description...

Lancelot has only made the question more complicated!! ]

[ First of all dipshit, you didnt sleep with your Kings wife, get over yourself!!11111 ]

The silence is telling, but even then whatever you have done. It cannot be any worse then that of my own actions, and I am still a Knight rightly. Where is your pride?
hylife: (4)

[personal profile] hylife 2023-09-15 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ might have slept with the king's daughter tho 😎 Hylia forgive him the transgression ]

I'm not proud.

[ Link seems to have remembered how to move his face.

he looks relieved, because Lancelot has helped him with his answer after all. ]


I'm... grateful? To the Princess. She would say I'm still a knight.
alligatus: (11)

[personal profile] alligatus 2023-09-15 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ FUCK. ok well then. We besties then. ]

Then act it, and don't lower your head. Especially when it is, your Princess looks to you. After all - you are her strength, not her burden.
hylife: (dark and deep.)

[personal profile] hylife 2023-09-15 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's just like Link's internal monologue has taken physical form?! his spine straightens up reflexively.

Lancelot may have alluded to some wrongdoing or other, but he's still an impressive enough example of knighthood. which Link doesn't get to see many of. ]


Of course.

[ be her strength is one of those things Link finds easier done than said, at least. once put into words (by someone else, naturally), it makes perfect sense to him. he's confident he can do that.

...what were they talking about? ]


Is that... impressive?
alligatus: (25)

[personal profile] alligatus 2023-09-15 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Lancelot was being mean to him, is what they were talking about - ]

What is?

[ As in, what is impressive? ]

Your duty, or your lack of courting traditions?


hylife: (008)

[personal profile] hylife 2023-09-15 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Link is surprisingly okay with people being mean to him, though ]

Uh,

[ he shrugs helplessly! he got here by having no idea what is or isn't impressive. ]

Not that last one... probably.
alligatus: (150)

[personal profile] alligatus 2023-09-16 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ HE SURE is. ]

I see. Any Knights duty to their people and Kingdom, [ A pause, as he takes a slow intake of breath. ] should, be impressive.

[ Lancelot looks him over momentarily, the rather blank stare and oft time lack of emotion is very... Interesting, to say the least. Not that his voice or presence seems to lack any devotion... ]

Do you care for it?

[ You know, romantic shit. ]
