Link has made a new friend! Kind of. The pink thing invited itself to his booth while he was at the bar getting a snack and a drink. He doesn't really care, as long as the pink thing doesn't try to mess up the wood carving he's working on, although he is rather disturbed by the thing's tendency to stare at his snack, mumbling pathetic little "Poyo"s when he does.

What does poyo even mean anyway?

Oh poor Link. There's no doubt in Mia's mind how important he is to Zelda and she's not quite sure how to convey that.

"I should probably start again," she says with a sheepish smile and idly rubbing the bridge of her nose. "Hi. My name is Mia."

What Mia doesn't know is that this isn't the Link or the Zelda she knew. Too many damn linkzeldas running around this place! But he probably still means just as much to his Zelda, considering they're childhood bffs 5ever.

Link's gaze darts away briefly, not sure what to say, and struggling with his own thoughts. Somewhere in that mess of confusion comes a question of whether he should bother introducing himself to her, considering she already knows his name.

He settles with a meek, "Hi."

Boy, Mia can't remember the last time she made a mess of things quite like this. But as far as emotions for pregnant women go, super awkward isn't as bad as, say, pointless crying. So she'll take what she's got.

Though there's the question of whether she should press on or if she should find a way to end the conversation and just leave Link be.

She opens her mouth once or twice to try again but nothing comes out.

She eventually decides on, "I'm sorry."

Because she really didn't mean to make him confused or uncomfortable or anything else he's feeling right now that isn't what he was feeling before she started talking.

"It's...okay..." he says, still not looking at her.

He then finds himself in the same position of trying, and failing, to conjure words.

[gorgonfondness]

Right. Well.

"I'll..." she starts again, vaguely gesturing somewhere with her right hand. "I'll leave you to your work."

And for good measure, she apologizes again with, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Maybe she'll try to talk to him again someday but...later. Much later.

Right now, she's going to steer her carpet away and, once she spies Kirby, offers him a, "Oh! Sorry if I bothered you, too," as well before floating over to the bar.
