Sure, sure. Whatever you say.

... you know you're currently in the SAME world. Right?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Your point? Staying here isn't a guarantee.

[thearchangel]

Neither is living to a ripe old age back in our worlds, either.

If you like her, deep down under... whatever else is going on, don't waste a chance. Wait too long and next thing you know the world's falling down around your ears and it's too late.

[Darin sighs. It'd be a lot easier if Darin could tell Garrus that Zelda was a princess. But he's sworn himself to secrecy and Darin takes promises seriously.]

She's important to me, alright? And part of that means I'll do anything to make sure she can get back home. That this Ganondorf guy doesn't hurt her more than he has already.

That's my role. And I'm fine with that. She needs a shield and I'm damn good at making them.

[thearchangel]

Just

Keep what I said in mind. All right? Don't waste opportunities.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I'm not. I promise.

[thearchangel]

all right



Anyway.

Good talk.

[There's a few minutes before Darin texts back.]

Thank you.

For looking out for me.

Truth be told I've never had a friend before I got here.

I appreciate the perspective.

[This talk has gone places...]

What's the point in being a grizzled ex vigilante if you can't dispense wisdom at the drop of a hat?

[That means "you're welcome".]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Generous use of the word 'wisdom' but I guess I'll give it to you.

[thearchangel]

Yeah, yeah, save the trash talk for the field.
