It was like a fistful of fireflies right to his retina. A delightful glow, if he'd been ready for it. But now it was almost blinding. What manner of creature is blinded by fairy light? But he opened his eyes after his initial rejection of her shine, and it was pleasant. His pupils didn't even need to shrink to filter it. And then he was treated to something in line with his dreams. This close, her size didn't matter. How daunting, first thing in the morning!<br/><br/>It got the boys attention though, even if her words came in sluggish, like oil spills in a brook, rolling in a current circling inside a tidal pool. Her chastising was really flattery, wasn't it? He caught something with the Deku Tree, which would usually have nothing to do with runts like him.<br/><br/>His blue eyes pushed their fog away and cleared with something that looked like--<br/><br/>accusation.<br/><br/>His frown was almost combative when he stood up. What he had in annoyance he made up for with lack of modesty, as well. Not that it mattered to a creature as her. There were black spears between his risen, long muscles. While he did not take to the warring arts like the ghosts in his head, he seemed to drink up the exercise better. A lengthy athlete. A weapon in himself. And with one swinging as he dug around for his clothes. It was bigger than her current form, of course.<br/><br/>Tights and tunic, what else?<br/><br/>"Are you sure?" he muttered, and then looked her over. "Come here." he decided and held his hands out, that would have been princely with it weren't for the noticeably yellowed callouses. Link wasn't perfect, but he tried hard. And now he wanted the very enticing fairy to hold. "Deku tree asked for me? For what?" An eager that was a clue to his breaking heart.<br/><br/>But the boy would have come if it was only for what she'd said so far. Even if she admitted to lying. The doubt in his heart could not dampen the spring in his legs. As soon as he could, with what little equipment he had, he would dart out the window, whether with her held against his chest or not, and negate the downward energy with a backward pivot, landing in dust and shooting off before it settled.<br/><br/>His blue eyes made azure streaks that stayed in the air that he left behind.
