Thread: Starcrossed in Hyrule (MarioxGunner)

Kira tilted her head and nodded a little, staring at the cliffs. Climbing above the water might help too. If he happened to fall...well a Lynel wouldn't have him held so maybe he could dive properly and not hurt himself. The trek going around the cliffs would take far too long if they needed to get there and rest up, get weapons and supplies. The last thing she wanted was for them to get caught with their pants down. For her, that literally meant that moment. She watched as he sprinkled a strange herb on the roasted fish. Her head tilted again as the scent of butter wafted through the air. She managed a small grin when he finally agreed. I can guarantee it. My family...does sort of run the whole village... she said with a partial laugh. The other bass was roasted and he handed one to her. Kira didn't fail to notice he handed her the larger bass. For a moment she blinked at the offered fish before looking up. She felt a sudden tightness in her gut and her heart gave a hard slam against her chest. That sweet, friendly smile changed everything in his face. Even the sharp teeth couldn't make it off putting. Kira was frozen a moment and felt her pointed ears burn at the tip. Luckily hidden by her tangle of silvery hair that had fallen out of its neat braid in their fight against the river. Thank you, she finally managed with a returned smile. Not as bright as his own, almost shy. Almost. She took the offered fish and passed over one of the apples she had baked in the fire. Baking an apple made it much sweet if a little soft. Kira settled back cross legged, her back straight as she took a few test nibbles of the fish. Kira nodded at his question and looked up to the looming cliffs they had tumbled from. Boko is his nickname... she said with a light little laugh. His full name is Bokoblin Smasher of Brains. She couldn't hold back her laughter as she said his proper name. It was a silly name she knew but well earned. When I first found him I followed him for miles, knowing he was special. Just when I was going to jump on to catch him a Bokoblin ran out from behind a rock. Boko completely panicked. He was trying to buck me off and fight the Bokoblin. He used all of his might to fight us but kicked the Bokoblin so hard in the head we were utterly splattered by skull and brain fragments. Morbid but still Kira laughed as she remembered. Her unbridled laughter made her whole body shake, it was high and almost musical. He spent all his energy on that fight that he settled pretty quick to me. Some apples helped too. He's at the base of the plateau. We were headed home, going to take the long way...but we were so close to Zora's Domain...Not being particularly welcome I still wanted to see it. I had heard it's the most beautiful city in Hyrule from the Rito. I figured climbing up the plateau and looking down over it was the best chance I would get...and you know the rest of the story. Through the short tale Kira was nibbling away at the bass. This is really good Piran. Probably the best traveling food I've had. There was no sarcasm or obsequious tone to the compliment. She genuinely meant it. You said the Lynel was your prize...has it been causing a lot of trouble for your people? Those shock arrows it had seemed like nasty business. Pretty brave of you to try and go face it alone. Sorry I...got in the way, she added with a little snicker. While trying to eat neatly it wasn't entirely fool proof. Sitting so upright made her chest the perfect sort of shelf for small drips of oil from the fish. One wrong bite and a bit of gut and skin fell right onto the soft flesh of her breasts. Dang it...can't take me anywhere... she said with an annoyed sigh and brushed herself off some. Sure it made the skin and guts flick away but served to only smear the oil around some, giving her chest a glittering glow in the firelight.
