038 [Voice/Action]

...It's been a whole year since I've arrived in Luceti. And still no closer to finding a way back to our own worlds.

Great Dragon, I only pray that Lady Myrrh is still safe.

[Saleh will spend the day restocking on his supplies at the grocery shop, and the head to the Battle Dome for some training. Feel free to bump into him at either destination or somewhere in between.]

Ah... really so long?

Unfortunately. I can only pity those who have been here longer than I.

Same here... though it seems like there's an awful lot of them.

It's been a whole year for me, too. Well, it will be in a week.

I kind of don't mind it, though.

You...like it here?

[That's the first time he's heard that.]

Yeah! [Why do people always sound so surprised at that?] I mean, the experiments are kind of weird and I don't like being kidnapped, but it's still safer than Hyrule is, a lot of the time. And I have lots of friends and - [A shrug.] I just like it here.

I see. I'm glad for your happiness then.

Thanks, I guess. It's really not that bad, though - there's good stuff here that isn't back in Hyrule.

Is that so? What is it like in...Hyrule?

It's nice, but it can be really dangerous sometimes. And even though I'm from there, I - [Slight pause.] I grew up somewhere else, so I don't really know it very well. It doesn't feel much like home.

[The forest did, but the forest is no longer an option. Luceti, where he's not the boy without a fairy, not the weird forest kid, not the Hero of Time, is more home than Hyrule ever was.]

Even though sometimes I have to fight here, I'd still have to do that here, and when things are good, I like Luceti better.

Every world has its own dangers, including this one. I can understand now.

[Well, that's good. He smiles a little.] Yeah - but the dangers don't make the good things bad.

Not at all. But this world is...not where we belong.

I guess... [Hmm. What if he wanted to stay, though?] I did what I had to do in Hyrule, now I have nowhere else to go. And if I could, I'd stay.

I can see why you would feel secure, with your duty finished.

Yeah... if it wasn't, I guess I'd want to go home more.

I'm glad you understand that, at least. Many of us have unfinished business back home, myself included.

Uh huh... it's not too bad while we're here, though, right? If time doesn't keep going, it's sort of like a vacation.

I'm grateful for the friends I have made here, but beyond that, I see no reason to call this a vacation.

I guess it's different for everyone, huh... [Some people hated it here, he knows that much. But is it really that strange that he's starting to call Luceti home?]

Indeed.

[It certainly can't be a vacation for Saleh, since he stays busy like a bumblebee here just like back home.]

[Hey, that was his choice.]

If you really want to go back, I hope you get home soon.

...Ah, Saleh. I'm sure that Lady Myrrh is safe.

[Well, okay, sie's not, but sometimes it helps to have pointless reassurance]

[Yeah, sometimes it does help, even though Saleh knows better.]

Ah...thank you for the reassurance.

You're quite welcome. [Heavens and seas, if sie was here a year sie'd need it too]

A way already exists. It's just not under our control.

[There's a pause and a faint click. He's messing with a pen out of sheer boredom.]

I'm sure your lady can take care of herself.

If it is not under our control, can it really be considered a way?

...Perhaps she can. But still, I have a duty to fulfill.

I guess not. But even if we find another way, we've still gotta keep from dragging us back here again. It's a real pain.

Are you her bodyguard or something?

Yes, it would be...inconvenient.

Yes, I have been charged with the task of protecting her.

That's one way to put it.

Well, at least she's not here. For whatever it's worth, good luck getting back to her sometime soon.

Thank you. I appreciate it, sir...?

[He's deeply contemplating letting someone call him Sir Nails.]

...Just Badou's fine.

It's good to make your acquaintance, Badou. I am Saleh.

Good to meet you too.
