[ their lawn......

but yeah. sometimes life isn't fair and your sister gets in trouble for getting rid of certifiable scum. he doesn't know the intricacies of modern law, but he can get the gist of it well enough to nod. ]


I'm still holding hope that time is waiting for us. [ weirder things have happened in zeldaverse. ] But I'm sure she knows that you wouldn't leave without reason.

[ they seem close. he can't imagine how hard it must've been to eventually let her go. ] ...Whatever happened, she seems to be a very good sister to you.

[ yeah he already knows he's a MISERABLE LITTLE MANS, but he's made great strides. part of the biggest reliefs during their VR party was seeing that shoma was hanging in there.

so while this is a difficult story, his emotions are tender-hearted, softer than usual. he gives him a good squeeze. ]


I'm so grateful you had each other!

[ because if they didn't, shoma wouldn't be here; sidon's an optimist, but he's very aware of what could've happened. he is very poignantly aware of how hard amame must have worked—the struggles she must have put herself through, to support her loved ones. the things she must not have said, somehow expecting shoma not to notice. this is a pair of siblings that has gone through the gauntlet together. ]

...I understand though. With someone like that, all you want to do is return the favor. It's your turn to support her, and I know you'll do it with as much love and care as she did for you. If I were you— [ he stops and starts, laughs, a soundless puff ] I wouldn't have let anyone easily take her away, either.

[ there's truly like (4) optimists on this ship, they're a dying breed. but yeah, they can vibe as the baby brothers of their respective families; he gets it. shoma's determination is something so deeply familiar to him, enough that he answers with a little smile, despite the subject. truly everyone should've just ignored his decommission message. ]

Hah, I would! I do. [ his emotions reflect a very old, persisting ache, but one that's grown less acute over time. ] I have no stronger conviction than the one I carry for my sister's sake.

[ when you have someone who loves and supports you so much, of course you want to give back to them once you're able to. but whatever the void can just give him the lore!! ]

[ small..... crushes him like a grape

very unfortunately, they have a lot in common with their siblings. it helped sidon sympathize, but is also what makes him grimace as the void fades out again—he hadn't wanted to put shoma put this, specifically. he inflicts a sadness on him without meaning to.

but sidon's own feelings are less crushing. a very mirrored grief, yet one with its edges sanded down over decades. it always hurts on remembering, but it does stop being... everything, all of the time. ]


...I'm grateful you think so. [ he really is. ] I take on that responsibility without fear or hesitation. But it will take another century yet to prove I am worthy of it.

[ he smiles though, patting shoma's shoulder. ]

I hope it isn't presumptuous to say I understand... a little of what you feel. [ not all of it. just some. ] Which is why I've insisted you have much more ahead of you, even if there are moments where it seems the sun has set forever.

[ he grins a little at the faith he's given, precious as it is. even if he's usually the one out there cheering people on, of course return fire means a lot. ]

...Thank you, Shoma. I'll believe you.

[ but more pressingly, between the VR and the mentions he's made, shoma's lifespan is obviously strange for a human. so he sobers and offers him a sympathetic look, tail swishing. ]

That is the weakness of long lived peoples. [ having so many years to carry regret. he's seen it in plenty of his elders, that accumulation of sadness, like rust building from a single joint. ] It does make it important not to linger on certain things. Anger, grudges...

[ sidon is a cheerful person, but he's seen mipha's death make an absolute mess of his subjects. it takes effort to be happy, and some people forget that, so caught up in their despair. it sounds like shoma is working beyond that, despite his fears—but it is hard. it does take work. he knows and respects that. ]

But if you're already thinking of other people, I don't think you have to be scared. You're moving forward. Hoping for the future is the bravest thing you can do, I think! [ he pinches shoma's cheek, giving it a little wag. ] But don't be so ready to say goodbye. Who knows? Maybe you can come visit me! I'd always be happy to welcome you to my home—you can bring your sister, too!

[ he's getting ahead of himself again, but he wants to believe this is possible. ]
