Gale
*As she was waiting on the beach, she'd start walking up towards the entrance of the village. She looked for Light, not being able to find him at first until she did. Marin froze for a moment, thinking to herself "Is that him...? Link? My Link?"*

*She just stood there, in a bit of disbelief and stared. This... Felt real, looked real, smelt real... But part of her had trouble digesting it. Snapping out of it, she'd wave and start to walk towards him.* 

"...Link?"
Ronald
*He didn't know what he was expecting. He was the one who had agreed to give the girl company through this strange new world of Hyrule. With his Subrosian companion off to gather supplies for later travels, the Hero of Light and Dark was left to his own devices to find the songstress... Or the second one. Was she his? He didn't know.

He backpedaled toward the entrance, waiting around gently as he watched the Subrosian dash ahead energetically. Left to his own thoughts he turned his eyes skyward, narrowing as if he expected to spot that stupid whale flying overhead. The Windfish had brought him to that island, but it simultaneously held that harrowing truth over his head like the blade of the gallows. Koholint was a dream. But Marin was real.*

*"...Link?"*

*A light voice dragged him out of his thoughts, suddenly looking back down from the ground toward the way the sound came from. Having snapped out of his self-caused daze he nodded, adjusting the green cap on his head as the wind helped keep his pink hair out of his face. What was he supposed to say? The hero was at a loss for words, completely unlike any prior interactions with another version of the islander.*

"Marin." *He stated simply, his words feeling more like a quick exhale as he felt his breath catch. She was more real than he could've imagined, and he inwardly cursed himself for thinking that she wouldn't be.* "Hey."
Gale
*Seeing the hero in front of her, she studied him for a minute before saying anything else. He seemed like her Link... But a slight bit different. There were so many different thoughts going in her head that she could even focus on one. This whole world was new and different and... Sometimes was a little too much that it was scary. Marin got some courage and would ask...* 

"Are... Are you real?"

*She paused for a minute before continuing with what she was saying. Anyone could tell that she was nervous... Of course she wouldn't wanna admit that out of fear to worry anyone.* 

"Is this real...? Are you... My Link?" 

*This was a lot for her, she wanted to cry... But was a little too scared to. Looking up at Link with her yellow-ish amber eyes, she smiled.*
Ronald
"Yeah... Yeah. I'm real." *Light was quick to respond, taking a gentle step closer to the redhead as she spoke. This was, admittedly, a lot to suddenly jump headfirst into. Sure, he could fight gods and giant monsters that could turn him to dust with a good hit or two, but that had no comparison to the uphill battle that was combatting his own emotions.*

"This is real. I'm real, you're real. I just. Don't know if you're *Mine*." He forced, though he desperately wanted to believe it to be true. It had been way too long since he had seen his depiction of the island girl... The one who he thought he had killed when he woke up the Windfish. "It's... Nice to see you again, regardless." *He stated gently. What else could he really say? It'd be weird to just... Say everything he had wanted to say before he left.*
Gale
*After afirmation that this was, indeed real, she'd gently and slowly reach out a hand. Like when you see yourself in a reflection, she gently reached out to make sure. Despite this being real, it was all so dreamlike for her... Which as she thought about that, she couldn't even imagine how he felt.*

"It's nice to see you again... Link." 

*Once again, she smiled and would gently hold the hero's hand. After just looking up at him, she'd get reminded "Oh! That's right, I'm supposed to get my stuff." In all of the excitment to explore, see Link and everything else, she kinda forgot to pack. To be fair, it's not like she exactly had a lot besides herself and her lyre.*
Ronald
*He watched as she reached a hand toward him, almost as if she was trying to discern if this was another dream or not. He couldn't blame her, all things considered. How do you go from living in a fake world to all of this? The Hero of Light and Dark hesitated a moment, waiting to see what she would do before he gently took her hand in his, breath catching.

She was real. He didn't quite know what he was expecting. His hand tightened around hers ever so slightly as he forced his thoughts deep down, like he wanted to say so much but was saving it for later, when he knew for sure if she was his own Marin. With a quick nod of his head, he managed to muster up a smile in return to her words. He'd have to push down all the things he wish he could tell her for another time, right now, she seemed to have something else to do in mind.*

"So..." *He started, a sudden awkwardness falling over his voice.* "Adventuring. Do you have anything you need to grab?" *He asked. A sense of familiarity struck through the mind of the pink haired hero, there was a similar situation that had happened on the island... The memory was, like all things about the island that haunted his dreams, unforgettable.*
Gale
*After she would hold his hand a moment, the girl would just stare at him for a moment. Not in a creepy way but... Still in desbelief. This was real, this world, this Link... She was real. It was at this moment that she started to truly understand how much it was a miracle this was. She felt the hero's hand tighten around hers and she couldn't help but blush a little... Just like Link, she had many things she wanted to say.* 

*The hero would remind Marin about the things she needed to grab, she perked up a little and stopped staring. "I completely forgot about that..." She thought... Even though she had already reminded herself about. The songstress couldn't help but laugh a little, seeming a bit embarrassed but admitting to the hero...*

"I had completely forgotten about that. I'm so sorry... I guess I was just excited to see you. I don't have a lot with me so it won't take that long."

*Her grip loosened on Link's hand and she'd gently let go, smiling at him. The girl would say...* 

"I'll be right back, stay right here, alright?"
Ronald
*Their eyes locked, ocean blue and amber yellow staring at each other in shallow silence as they stood at the village entrance. Before Light could even respond, he felt the island girl's grip loosen before releasing his hand as she smiled at him. Things to grab, though according to her it wouldn't take but a moment.*

"Stay right here, alright?"

*She offered a simple command, but the green capped hero looked quick to protest, as if he didn't want to leave her side just yet. It had been far too long since he had seen Marin- HIS Marin, that was. Four years, to be more exact. Sure, there was the other Marin who was now traveling with the Stable Trotters, but she was very clearly not his own. Begrudgingly (and to the humor of Courage herself), Light offered a nod in response to her words, simple and to the point.* "Right. I'll be waiting." *He responded with a quick smile. It would be smarter to wait here anyways... His Subrosian companion would be coming to find them at some point as well. The only thing he'd have to deal with for the moment is the Goddess Farore's fit of laughter ringing in the back of his head. The Golden Boy was rather used to it.*

*He just hoped that she would be back soon.*
Gale
*She'd start to run to the Inn, not out of fear but because she didn't wanna be far. They had a lot to talk about... With a lot of traveling to do as well. Her heart was pounding from the interaction she had and from a new sense of excitement she got. It was like a big wave of deja-vu rolled over her...*
*"It's just like when Link was taking me to Animal Village..." She thought to herself... But her thoughts slight continued. "Except... Everything is new. Everything is real." Going into the Inn, she told the keeper and would grab her Lyre... That was it. She didn't have anything else besides the things she had on.*

*After she told the Inn Keeper, there was a bit of shock. She was leaving already? But he'd start to tell everyone else. She'd walk towards Light once again... But then she'd start to run again. Marin would eventually slow down once she got closer but was slightly out of breath. She smiled again at the hero and would adjust herself to stand.*
Ronald
*He watched as she ran off, debating following her before forcing himself to stay in place, motionless like a statue as Marin disappeared from sight. "Just like when I took her to the animal village..." The bearer of the Triforce thought to himself, releasing a breath that he hadn't realized he had been holding. Why was he getting so tense? It was just Marin. Just the girl he had thought he had killed four years ago when he woke up that stupid... Okay, well. He knew why he was tense at the very least. A few minutes passed as he took in the sights and sound of the town ahead of him, watching as a seagull flew overhead as he listened to the gentle crash of waves against the sandy shoreline not too far away.*

*It was peaceful. Unfortunately for the teen who could never back away from a good fight, it was a bit too peaceful for his liking. At least his Kakariko Village back home had some excitement every once in a while, especially if you went to the Milk Bar. This place just seemed like a run down little fishing town. He could feel Farore's words pulling at the back of his mind, a teasing tone as she whispered something along the lines of a teasing remark that was followed swiftly by a smacking sound from one of the goddess' sisters and a resounding exclamation. "OW!" Courage's bearer pouted in his head as another voice, Din's, interjected to chastise her. Tuning out the exploding argument in his head, Light's gaze redirected itself toward Marin when he spotted her dashing toward him, only to slow down as she got closer, out of breath. A lyre was in her hands, a familiar artifact he recognized from his own time in Koholint.*

"Ready to go?" *He asked, tilting his head in anticipation.*
Gale
*After coming back to the hero, she took a minute to catch her breath and would stand straight up. It was clear that she was excited but not so obviously, she was extremely nervous. Internally, Marin would think to herself "There's so much world to explore... To look at... To experience... It's all so overwhelming. However... I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't excited and didn't want to." The girl looked up at Link and would answer his question, starting to walk a little.* 

"Yep! All ready! Is there anything you need to do or get while we're here?" 

*Marin asked, looking back at him as she'd continue to walk foward. She was eager to go but maybe that was just the adrenaline kicking in.*
