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?

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?
