Who: Pipit, OPEN
Where: Plaza
When: Early Evening
Style: Up to you taggers. ^^
Status: Open

[The sun is setting, the city's lights are slowly twinkling on as the natural light starts to vanish. Should one be out for a lovely stroll this evening they'll find an unconscious man laying near the coral. He's soaking wet as everyone else who arrives in the city. He's wearing chainmail, a yellow tunic, tan pants, and his yellow hat is just a few feet from him. Poor guy seems pretty out of it. Care to help him out?]

[...Uh. That is a very familiar-shaped hat.]

[Link scoops it up, peering at it thoughtfully, before taking note of the person it apparently belongs to. Another Hylian?]

[Kneeling beside him, he shakes his shoulder once.] Hey! Are you okay?

[That voice. Pipit knows that voice. The brunette opens his eyes and looks up. He smiles and quickly gets up to his knees.]

Link! It's been a while.

[He looks himself over and then takes a look at their surroundings.] Where are we?

Huh? [Yeah, that's a rather perplexed look you're getting, Pipit. With closer inspection, he might notice that this Link's hair is parted down the middle, and he's wearing a green t-shirt and tan pants instead of the expected knight academy uniform.]

[Wait, timelines. The other Link here looked pretty similar to him, didn't he?] Um... sorry. I don't think I'm the Link you know... we're in a place called Vatheon.

...Huh?

[Now it's time for Pipit to be confused. Why are you dressed differently Link? And why are you saying weird things?]

Vatheon? Is that the name of some place on the surface? That's where we are, right?

The surface...? [And suddenly, it clicks.] Oh - you must be from the same time as my ancestor! Vatheon brings people here from lots of different places and times. And he went somewhere called the surface.

((OOC: Taking some minor liberties here, since, thread-wise, OoT and SS haven't talked about the surface yet, but I'm going to assume the topic comes up?))

[Pipit blinks again and tilts his head.]

As your...ancestor? Are you related to Link? You look just like him...almost.

[The Knight-in-training rubs his head. He really hopes that isn't a headache he feels coming on.]

((OOC: Fine with me. ^^))

Uh huh - my name is Link too, but he comes from a few hundred years before me, I think.

[Link, at least, has had a few weeks to let it sink in. It's probably a bit of a surprise to poor Pipit, though...] People confuse us sometimes.

A few...hundred years...

[Pipit puts his hand on his chin and looks down. He thinks for a moment, trying to reason this out. Somehow Link's descendants look like him down on the surface. And this is one of them? Oh the confusion.]

I'm still confused. And I really hope this isn't some sort of prank.

Well... if it was, they've been playing it on me for a few weeks. I think it's real.

[He gives Pipit an apologetic smile.] Sorry. I guess it's still really surprising, huh?

[Pipit nods.]

It is. I just didn't know something like that could happen. Or did to Link. Hmmm...

[He leans in, getting a better look at this other Link.]

I wonder how much you take after him.

[Whoaaa that is leaning in.]

Well, you probably know him better than me, right? If you're from the same time. What sort of things does he do?

Well he can fall asleep almost anywhere and he does. A lot.

[Pipit laughs.] But he's got a strong will and never gives up. And when he needs to, he toughs anything out.

[Link laughs a little at that.] Well, I don't think I fall asleep everywhere - although I've slept in some pretty weird places before, but that was because I had to. And I guess I can tough things out. [He shrugs a little bashfully - it does sound weird to agree with what sound like compliments.]

Then I must say you most likely are related to my good friend, Link. [He gives a nod and a smile. Yep, he's sure of it now.]

I guess so! [He gives Pipit a grin, reaching up to adjust his hat.] How come you have nearly the same clothes that I had?

Because this is the uniform of a Knight of Skyloft. [Cue Pipit standing tall, hands on his hips, and a bright smile on his face.]

[Nope, just a blank look.] Are they like the Hylian guards? [Raising a hand to the back of his head self-consciously, he adds a little sheepishly,] I've just never seen anyone with a hat like mine before.

Maybe? I'm not sure.

[Pipit smiles and takes the hat off.] I like it. It's great for keeping warm but is light enough to not weigh you down, you know?

Yeah, it is! [Link doesn't bother taking his own hat off, dropping his hand.] Maybe I have the same hat because my mother or father left it with me because my ancestor wore one.

[There's definite curiosity in his voice. What would it be like to have a mother or father?]

It is possible. I mean, I got my uniform as a hand-me-down from when he was in the Knights Academy. Your hate may be the hat your ancestor wore even.

Wow... it must be really old. [...Sniff. Nope, just smells faintly like sea water and that stuff that Zelda told him to put in when he washed his clothes.]

[Pipit laughs when Link sniffs the hat.] It very well may be. But it seems in fine enough shape to me.

Right! Me and that hat went through a lot together! [...If it's the same one he wore as a kid. Huh. He's not actually sure.]

Then make sure to keep it close. It sounds like it has been a faithful companion to you.

Right! Maybe you and your hat will have lots of adventures too, huh?

[...This is only a mildly ridiculous conversation, right?]
