(all those days trying to make kagome come back to the feudal era paid off in not making him fully freak out.)
Yokai history, not so much. It's not about cycles, but more about who is ruling a territory or who is the big boss of a type of yokai at any given time. My old man was the boss for a long time. We still have to clean up after him from time to time.
(evil? what's evil to most yokai?
maybe link notices the 'we', and this time, it's not even about kagome.)
Pffft. It was pathetic, actually. Just an arrow sticking me to a tree. Dead, pretty much.
History is always a cycle. Rulers rise, prosperity follows, then they fall and end. Then something new starts.
[Hyrule has a particular evil, something perhaps foreign to the world of demons and priestesses...but the rise and fall of power is no less similar. It's been said that Calamity Ganon was once a man -- a ruler who sought out power. A "big boss" who rose and then fell in a similar way.
[A strange look crosses his face for a moment as Inuyasha moves a foot to kick him. Something like surprise, panic, fear...and maybe something else beneath. Something waiting. Whatever it is, the look only lasts a fraction of a second, short enough that Inuyasha might doubt it was even there. He pulls his leg away, just a moment before Inuyasha would have touched him.
He's hurt enough people recently by getting too close. His expression steadies quickly.]
Then don't fucking be! What's going to happen if I travel and can't smell your blood, huh?! What are you going to do?! Don't be so fucking "delicate"-- ah, fucking speaking of.
(NOT LIKE HE WILL.
tessaiga, knee. just a little nick, like a paper cut. a dog never forgets a scent, and now, inuyasha will forever be able to trace an injured link. congratulations, you are dog married.)
[Contrary to what he says about being delicate, he doesn't seem to flinch at all when Inuyasha brings the sword to his knee, more curious than alarmed or surprised.]
[Asking a silent protag to be quiet is like asking a fish to swim. Link, feeling contented about the situation, quietly goes back to eating his stew. With his friend.]

An arrow? Harsh. Did you wake up refreshed?

(link, meet a little kick to your thigh. shut up, nerd.)
Woke up pissed.

... Hm. I can't blame you, with the arrow.

(with how much of a wall link is, any reaction is A Reaction, and inuyasha is found in deep confusion, damn, is he that fragile?)
More like, what would you feel if you were dead by the hand of a woman you were going to become human for? Yikes.

[...n...ice save? Yeah. Let's go with that. He still looks slightly tense, but his voice doesn't reflect it anymore.]
I can't imagine. Maybe I would want more sleep.

How far can you smell?
no subject
you're either so fragile that you get scared of a little kick, or you get cut and not even flinch.)
Depends on conditions. Around 14 miles, I guess.
no subject
That's a long reach. Should I keep my cooking more mildly-smelling?
