« Stay || Revali ||
A/n: look I’m not good at coming up with titles.
Prompt used:
❝ i don’t have nightmares when you’re there. Here❞
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nightmare’s we’re nothing new, ever since what happened you felt like you were plagued with him, except when Revali was near you. It was just a comfort, you felt safe around him. You were spending another night with him and while he still maybe cocky he never tried anything.
The previous night was awful, the nightmare was awful that your barley slept yet you never told him because you rather not burden the Rito with everything that he had to deal with. But seeing he was turning to leave you, the words quickly left your mouth. “Wait!”
Turing abruptly, Revali bit back a ‘what’ though seeing how troubled you looked his gaze couldn’t help but soften. “What is it?”
Lowering your gaze, you clutched the blanket to your chest. “Can you stay?” Your voice was a whisper, you had to hold back the tears. “I don’t have nightmares when you are here.”
Blinking in surprise, part of him should have expected this. What you went through, he’d be surprised that if you didn’t suffer nightmares. He knew he could laugh it off, shrug and just ignore you then leave. He’d do it with anyone else but you, you were different.
A sigh escaped him as he sat next to you on the bed as he placed his wing on your head. “Ya, I’ll stay…just get some rest alright. You look like you’re about to pass out.”
Giving him a tired but grateful smile, you press your lips against his beak in a small kiss. Settling into your bed you yawned easily falling asleep.
Watching you, Revali pulled the blanket over your body as you sleep. “You don’t face those nightmares again. Not while I am around.”

Conversation
Well, aren't you up bright and early? You must be here to see my greatness in action, huh? No, you don't have to answer, I can see that you were barely able to sleep because of your excitement. Find a place to sit, I'll grab a blanket, and then I'll give you a show that you'll never forget.

I haven't posted links before on Tumblr so I'm not sure what you can see from here, but a while ago I made a Revali chat bot on character.ai and wanted to share it here!
I think it's pretty accurate to his character, but if it isn't tell me and I'll try to fix it!
Fair warning though... This bot seems to be a little bit... Flirty. Not an intended feature, but not one that isn't welcomed!

a fine line between love and hate
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: revali x gn!reader
summary: you train with your rival, revali!
Tumblr media
“ha, what did you think about that~?”
revali had his bow aimed at you, just barely missing you. for the last couple hours, the two of you had been training together, each trying to one-up the other and show off. and finally, he managed to almost land a hit on you!
“aw, you care about my opinion? that's cute!”
you chuckled and grabbed one of the arrows laying on the ground near you, before using your bow to fire it right back towards revali. the arrow brushed against his arm, as your comment had distracted revali for just a moment too long.
“tsk, as if i'd care!” he hissed and grabbed another arrow from his quiver, pointing towards you. “i'll show you just how much better i am than you~!”
his arrow flew through the air, but you saw it coming miles ahead, ducking away with ease, before grinning at revali, who grew more and more frustrated by the minute.
“bring it on, birdbrain~!”

Link is so fine in the new game I wish revali was alive to see him in the frostbite set
first of all, you're so real. i would smash fr 😩 alexa play closer by rm because totk link is the youngin from the block i'm bouta come holla at
secondly, i was talking to @senchee just the other day about the frostbite tunic when i found it and i just kept yelling about link in his #SlutEra. slutty link is so important to me u guys The girls that get it get it and the girls that don't don't!
i think if revali ever saw link in the frostbite set, his brain would have a hard reset while he processes just exactly what link is wearing, and then he gets extremely flustered, shouting about Why are you wearing this-this abomination out in the cold of hebra! showing off your entire BACKSIDE to your enemies, are you an imbecile yes or no! but his feathers are poofed out and his eyes are practically bulging out of his head, the great revali stuttering and stumbling over his words at the mere sight of his beloved's flesh.
AND ALSO CONSIDER revali songbird-ifying the word 'frostbite' for link when he wears the frostbite set and just like 'songbird', it sticks and becomes a new favorite pet name for link ^_^

Mipha/Revali X Reader; Making Them Laugh HC’s
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anon Request; “Heya! Firstly I would like to request that you remember to drink water and take care of yourself 😌. Secondly, could I request a reader making Mipha and Revali laugh? Like with some joke or just straight up tickling them? It's up to you, but I would really like to see these two happy with all the angst I've been seeing lol. Thanks so much!!”
~xXx~
Mipha:
* Her general laugh is soft and sweet, like the sound of a gentle stream on a beautiful spring day
* But if you can get her to really laugh it’s snorts galore
* She’s very embarrassed by it unless the person who made her laugh that hard is someone she’s close to
* As the Zora princess she has to maintain a certain air of pristine to her, which she doesn’t mind for the most part but it can also get very tiring
* Having an s/o who can help her relax her shoulders with a silly joke or some other hilarious non-sense is like a breath of fresh air
* Definitely remembers any jokes you tell her to say back to young Sidon
* It’s so goofy and she knows it but knock knock jokes are her cup of tea for comedy
* Don’t let her find out you taught her father dad jokes, it will be game over for everyone
Rivali:
* Getting this champion to laugh with you and not at you can be very difficult
* His laughs are most commonly snide or cocky chuckles followed by some statement about how whatever made him have that reaction is why he’s more superior
* Cheese jokes usually result in an eye roll and how Hylian humor is so un-sophiscated
* You’ll be at a loss like most others in figuring out how to get him to genuinely laugh, until you remember you have an advantage others don’t
* Being Revali’s s/o allows for open boundaries others aren’t allowed to explore, but for you, you’re lucky enough to cuddle with the egotistical Rito
* Which leads to finding out just how tickelish he actually is
* His laugh is airy and with a slight chortle to it, and Revali can not believe you made him laugh that way
* Doesn’t get a second to stop you though and his cheek feathers poof from your onslaught of tickles to his sides
* Better hope he doesn’t escape, because then it will be his turn to give what you gave and due to him literally being covered in feathers to the tips of his “fingers”, it will be ten times worse for you dove <3

Chapter Seven — Zora’s Domain
Tumblr media
[chapter warnings: injury, self-doubt]
t.o.c ; << | >>
The red guy was weird.
You'd seen Zoras before— in books since the Gerudo Desert was too hot for them to traverse. You guessed that they'd be similar to what you'd read, but nothing compared to seeing the large, brightly colored shark-man in the water below the bridge.
He spoke with an accent, something you'd assumed was typical for Zora's Domain. It was soothing, but the velvetyness of his voice did little to ease your startle every time he randomly appeared.
Sidon, you learned his name was, also spoke with an energized vigor when he learned that you were headed towards the Domain. This excitement grew tenfold when Link expressed his desire to tame the Divine Beast, and Sidon sent you on your merry way. Your merry way to trek the perilous trail that led to the Kingdom. Fun.
"Couldn't he have like, I don't know, given us a boat?" You wiped water from out of your eyes for what felt like the hundredth time. It didn't help, as the torrential, never-ending rain just blocked your vision more.
"I don't think that would've worked with the waterfalls going upwards." Link was slightly snippy, but you couldn't blame him.
"A ride on his back, perhaps? He is roughly the size of a horse."
Link snorted. "Maybe it's to make us prove ourselves. I've had to do that constantly since I've been awake. In any case—"
Link was cut off abruptly as he ran into your back. He was ready to curse you out but quickly dismissed the thought when he noticed your hand on the hilt of your Demon Carver. At this point, he trusted your cautiousness. He gazed ahead, over your shoulder, to see a small camp with a freshly dampened fire.
"Lizalfos." You whispered, hoping that the monsters wouldn't hear. They were too busy sharpening their spears— incredibly ominous, in your opinion.
"Remember what Sidon said." Link whispered behind you, pulling out his bow. "These Lizalfos are probably electric, and that'll hurt us if we get shocked. Especially with all of this water."
You nodded. There were about 5 Lizalfos in total, all in their own worlds as they milled about their little makeshift camp. You scanned the area, a quick plan coming to mind and you motioned for Link to follow you.
The Lizalfos had yet to notice you as you scaled to the top of a boulder nearby, out of reach. You grabbed your own bow and barely took any time to aim before nailing one of the Lizalfos between the eyes. It collapsed in a cloud of dust and weird, mismatched body parts and you bit your tongue to keep from cringing. Gross.
The Lizalfos took little time to recover before grabbing their own weapons and congregating at the bottom of the boulder. Link joined in the fight, sending his own arrows flying into the Lizalfos and before you knew it you had taken out the camp.
You cheered a bit and jumped down, walking closer to inspect the camp. The weapons left lying around were subpar and probably wouldn't do shit to help fight, so you ignored them and focused on the roasted trout that were speared in front of the fire.
The small, makeshift tent covered them for the most part— obviously, they'd been roasted earlier and stored there to keep dry out of the rain.
Your mouth all but watered at the sight, and you moved closer to grab them. Before you got to them, however, Link's voice rang out from behind you.
"Look out!"
You whipped around to see the enemy, but you were suddenly blinded by bright light and an excruciating pain through your body. Your muscles cramped up and you collapsed, too weak to hold yourself up as you felt yourself uncontrollably seize.
Then, black.
———
"—pretty bad. She'll probably be here for a while—"
The ringing in your head was too much to bear. Paired with the hushed voices near you, the pain was enough to make you nauseous and you groaned out in an attempt to make them stop.
You were lucky— they did for a second.
"How are you feeling?"
Nevermind.
The voice was female— definitely not Link. It was soft and gentle as if whoever it belonged to knew that you were struggling. You could only manage a small huff of air. That would have to suffice as your answer.
"Y/N?" It was Link this time. "You need anything?"
"To be euthanized." Your throat muscles hurt. Guess that's what happens when you get electrocuted.
"Not gonna happen." He huffed out a small laugh through his nose, but you could tell he was still a bit too worried to relax even with your eyes closed. "You would be proud of me, I carried you and all your junk all the way to the Domain."
"You're the hero of Hyrule, that's your job." That earned an actual laugh. "I'm not heavy and neither is my junk. You're just dramatic."
"You seem like the dramatic one here."
"Yeah? You try getting shot and electrocuted at the same time and tell me how it goes." You cracked one eye open and moved to sit up, wincing at the absolute agony that your muscles were in.
Thousands of volts did go through them, so you couldn't necessarily blame your limbs for needing a break.
Link was quick at your side, adjusting the pillow behind you and moving the blankets to still be covering your lap. He handed you a glass of water that sat on the bedside table and you slowly sipped, feeling at least a bit of your headache go away. Enough for you to finally look around, at least.
You were in Zora's Domain, in one of the beds at the inn. It was a shame you didn't get to experience its beauty with Link, but you were sure you'd have other opportunities. You were grateful for his help— normally, you wouldn't have just relaxed after waking up in an unfamiliar place. But with Link there, you knew you were safe. The thought made your cheeks burn and your muscles clench again and— ow.
Why was your thigh hurting so badly?
You moved the blanket away and saw your right thigh covered in bandages, a sizable spot of obvious blood seeping through the side. Ah.
"It was hard to get out," The gentle-voiced Zora noticed you looking, "You got the worst combination in history. Shot with an arrow, electrocuted, and having that electricity amplified by all the rain we've been having. Goddess, you're lucky to only come out with this and a few burns."
Link nodded. "It was, uh, hard to watch. I couldn't help you until all the electricity was gone or else I'd get shocked too. I just had to sit there and wait for a minute."
"I'm sorry." You hadn't taken your eyes off of the bandages. It was hard not to beat yourself up for letting your guard down so much. You'd promised Link you could care for yourself. Hell, you were literally raised better than that. It definitely put a damper on the old confidence.
Link also looked down at your leg and you felt your chest tighten. You wanted to pull up the blankets to cover the obvious bloodstain. The more you looked, the more you saw burnt areas along your leg and going up to your hip, beneath your pants. They were bad, but obviously not bad enough to have to cover to the extent that the arrow wound was. You subtly tugged at the blanket and Link noticed. 
"Cold?"
"Uh, yeah. A little." 
Link looked around the area for another blanket, but couldn't find one that wasn't already being used by another occupant of the inn. He moved to the other side of the bed and sat down beside you, shimmying under the blankets instead. You tried not to let your embarrassment show. 
"Maybe this will work." He gave you a tight smile, "At least for now, until the Innkeeper's wife gets back with some more medicines for you. I just didn't want to get on your injured side.”
"Don't mention it," You let out a dry laugh, "Guess I can't even argue with you about coming along to the Divine Beast now, huh?"
"As if I was going to let you in the first place. You can handle yourself, I know, but I'd rather you not risk death."
"And you think I want you to?" You shoved Link's shoulder and huffed. "The only reason I'm letting you do it is for the fate of Hyrule. Any other time, I'd be so mad that you insist on throwing away your life."
"Letting me do it? Sounds like you just can't stand being away from me." He teased. 
"More like I just can't stand you." You tried to hide the flush that came to the tips of your ears, "If you get injured, all I'm gonna do is hear you complain."
"I could say the same about you.”
"I haven't said shit, and I just almost died!"
"And you're not allowed to do it again--" 
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." 
Sidon and the innkeeper's wife, Kodah, enter the inn, both carrying medical supplies and potions. Sidon tilts his head at Link sitting next to me, but Kodah just smiles and sets the supplies on the bedside table. She kneels beside the bed and peels the blankets back, and you look away. You don't necessarily want to see the injury-- it would just make you feel even more incompetent. Instead, you focus on Sidon. 
"Link, my father would like to speak with you before you head to tame Vah Ruta." He turns to you, "and I know Kodah here will take wonderful care of you while you wait for your dear Link."
Link nods and faces you as well, a grin on his face. "I'll come by one more time before I go, but until then don't get into any trouble!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." You shoo him away, immediately noticing a difference when his warmth disappears from under the blanket. You're nervous for him. 
Wait-- your dear Link?

Lovesick
Pairing: Revali x GN Hylian Reader Summary: Revali couldn’t forget the way your lips touched his beak the day after your first date.  Themes: Romance, Fluff Word Count: 1,416 A/N: Could or couldn’t be connected to Bewitched, it’s up to you! Enjoy!
The cold winter air rushes through the champion’s hut, the sound of feathers rustling as well as windmills turning hits Revali in the early dawn of Rito Village. The heat of the morning sun rouses the sleeping champion, signalling the end of a night-long slumber. Sitting up and gently massaging his shoulders, he closes his eyes as he adjusts from his drowsy state. The tight hold of his shoulders reminds him of your fingers from the night before. His eyebrows furrow, remembering the memory. He grunts as he looks at the wing that he used, closing his eyes once more and lying once more on his hammock. 
“Horrible. Absolutely just terrible.” He whispered to himself as his feathers puffed up around his warm and flustered body. Feeling the way you held him, the way your lips met with his beak, the look you gave him after the kiss. It overwhelmed him. He fell apart from your gentle contact with his body as he fell deeper and deeper into his feelings for you.
He moved his body, pushing himself to get out of the hammock, out of the daydreams of your fingers around his wing. He lands on his talons, the sound of it creaking the boards of his hut as he sighs. Approaching his shelf close to the entrance of his home, he notices a familiar cloth at its ledge. Picking it up, the scent of you fills his nostrils, as a warm smile graced his features. The small cloth draped around the edges of his wing as he held it fondly. Before you both parted from one another from your date, you gave him your handkerchief. It wasn’t a grand gift but it comforted Revali, remembering the expression on your face when you gave it to him. ‘Lovesick’ was what you called it.
His mind retraces once more to your touch, the arm you had around him, the hand gently caressing his beak; Inching closer, closing any distance as your soft lips marked itself gently on his beak. 
Revali’s heart beats faster as his mind races, he takes a deep breath to still his heart, but closing his eyes just paints a more vivid picture. He stood still, letting the warm sunlight wake up and engulf his body. Just as the thoughts slowly fade from his mind, a knock and a voice pierces through him.
“I hope it’s not too early for a visit, Vali.”
His head whips fast enough to hurt as his eyes widen and his beak slightly agape. “Ah- What are you doing here so early?” Trying to hide the handkerchief behind his back as he stares at you with shock. You giggle as you give him a smile, “Good morning too, Vali. Can I come in?” Revali huffs in disbelief then tries to gather his composure. “Of course, of course. How come you’ve come here so early in the morning?” Taking a pillow and setting it down for you to sit in as he took a seat on another, placing the handkerchief somewhere hidden. You gave him a shy smile as you moved your pillow a bit closer to his. 
“Well, I was just in town, you know?”
“How can one even just be in town when they’re from Central Hyrule, huh?” Revali’s expression softens as he sees you flustered and avoiding his gaze. 
You were silent for a bit. He watched you bite your lip slightly before you sighed and spoke, “I felt a bit… lonely when I woke up, I still have a few hours before work so I wanted to see you, you know…” 
“Explains why you’re here at like… 6 in the morning. You wanted to see me that badly?” He leans towards you, towering your figure slightly. He had a smirk plastered on his face, disbelief and pride emitting him as you grew redder. Putting your hands on his bare shoulders, he jolts, feathers puffing up. You were silent again and as he looked at your face, there it was again; That same ‘Lovesick’ expression.
Your eyes looked at his, wetting your lips a bit and gulping. The anxiousness was about to seep in as you trembled to hold his cheek, to which he leaned into, letting you relax and sigh happily, “Is there anything wrong with missing you, Vali?”
His eyes search through yours again, looking for any indication of a ruse, a set up to put his guard down yet sees nothing but endearment through your expression. 
Revali huffs a bit, you hear a hint of worry and adoration. “There’s nothing wrong with that but to think you travelled far to greet me in the morning… This lovesickness of yours is making you reckless, travelling so early in the morning.” Sighing as he gently cradled your free hand. “It would’ve been safer if you let me fly to you, there’s too many dangers in the ground.”
You chuckled and moved your hand, gently touching the underside of his beak, petting it slowly. His eyes widened as he felt goosebumps all over his body, humming involuntarily to your touch, your damned touch. He was about to speak once more, scolding you for such actions before you cut him off and said, 
“I’m not going to sit around for the chance and probability that you’ll visit me, Vali. I wanted to see you, and I was going to see whether you like it or not.” Your eyes showed conviction as you continued to pet his beak. He trembled slightly and sighs, “You’re quite the Hylian, I fear it’s a trait you lot have; The recklessness and courage to do something absolutely absurd.” 
You laugh softly not denying it, hearing the endearment in his insult. You both stayed as is in the comfortable blanket of silence. Just the chirping of chicks, the light humming from him, and the breeze of the Hebra region.
Yawning a bit, you noticed how high the sun was getting. Your mouth gracing an expression of dissatisfaction when realizing you’ll have to go soon. Sighing, you said, “I’ll have to get ready to go back to the castle again.” You stopped petting him, much to his dismay. Standing up, you felt the blood return to your legs, weakening them and causing you to stumble over. Revali was quick to stand and catch you before you fell on the wooden floors, “Slow down, you’ll hurt yourself.” 
The way your arms were wrapped around his and your head touching his bare feathered chest, it drove you both crazy. You heard his heart beat faster and louder in his chest making yours try and rival it. 
The feeling of his soft feathers around your head like some sort of pillow, soothed you, impulsively nuzzling yourself into the comfort and warmth of his chest. Revali tenses up with your affection, he didn’t know what to do and feared if he looked down on you, he’d definitely, definitely not survive. 
He decides to cough a bit, clearing the air and standing you up, “…you have to be more careful, yes.” He silently said as he scratched a bit on his beak, looking elsewhere, far from your disheveled hair and fond expression that he knows will weaken him.
You then laughed, a hearty laugh. He looked at you with brows furrowed and titled his head; The way your skin was kissed by the sun, your messy hair swaying a bit by the winter air, and your laugh melding in with the morning chirps of the sleepy chicks, giving much more life to the music around him.
His throat ran dry as he watched you, entirely and utterly bewitched by your very existence. 
“Could one really find a cure to lovesickness? It feels so difficult to stop myself from messing up around you, I think I was just born with it.” You joked as your smile and loving gaze met him. He chuckled and then shook his head, “Maybe so, maybe so.” You took a step towards him, the floor beneath creaking a bit. Your hands tangled themselves between his feathers as your lips kissed his beak. 
The feeling of it, the warmth pressed against his beak, it drove him crazy. He wrapped his wing around you as well, sheltering you from the cold winter as he leaned in the nuzzle against your neck after you kissed him.
Closing his eyes and chuckled, “Goddess Hylia, I might’ve caught it. I might’ve turned lovesick, dear, what have you done to me?”

thinking about super physically affectionate clingy yet quiet link and him leaning into revali when he's tired, or curling up in revali's lap with his face in revali's neck to take a nap, without a single word.
it startles revali a lot at first when link just at random just starts grabbing his hand only to intertwine their fingers, link tracing the feathers and then pulling revali's hand up to his face to press a kiss to the back of it, his eyes shut. or link pushing him down into the cushions only to seat himself within revali's folded lap, head against revali's chest as he fidgets and fiddles with revali's scarf. or link coming up from behind to wrap his arms around revali's midsection, pressing soft kisses down revali's spine.
"you hylians are so touchy," revali mumbles one night, when they're lying together in their shared hammock. link is wrapped around him, intertwining his legs with revali's, and he drags his pointer finger through revali's feathers, drawing shapes into his chest. link only hums at him in response, and shifts so that he's more comfortable against revali. his legs tighten around revali's, as though he plans to keep the rito shackled to him forever. revail only wraps a wing around him and brushes his beak through the top of link's hair.
"you're not pushing me away though," link says. link's voice is soft and drowsy, but revali can feel it humming under his skin.
"like i could if i tried," revali responds in similar volume. "you've wrapped yourself so closely to me, we'll merge into one being at this point." but link is right; if he truly didn't enjoy this, he'd have thrown link into lake totori now.
"wish we could," link murmurs. revali hums in question, prompting link to continue. "wanna be so close to you i'm practically under your skin."
"that won't be necessary. you already get under my skin plenty." link snorts and shifts against him again, revali shifting in response to accommodate link's new position. they're quiet again for a couple more moments before link speaks.
"do you really not like it?" his songbird whispers, hushed and timid. revali frowns. he doesn't like it when link doubts him, or this bond between them. he wraps his other wing around link and the little hylian snuggles deeper into him automatically, sighing quietly.
"i'd have figured you more astute than this," revali says. "this... manner of affection you favor is not something i'm accustomed to, but it doesn't mean it's unpleasant. it's... nice, to be honest."
"so it's okay? you're okay with this?" link murmurs.
"i'm more than fine with it," revali replies. "what made you think i wasn't?"
he feels link shift to hide his face in revali's chest. "dunno," link mumbles. "i always do it without saying anything. thought you were just putting up with me..."
revali's feathers prickle and rise, and his frown deepens. in a swift fluid movement, he grabs his mate by his hips and pulls him up. link yelps, grabbing onto revali's arms. "w-wait, revali, the hammock—"
"the hammock is strong enough to hold the both of us," revali says, and seats link atop him so that his mate is straddling his lap, and his hands settle on link's waist. "so don't doubt it, like you're doubting me right now." link flushes and his ears droop, just slightly. cute.
"i wasn't doubting you—" link starts, but revali cuts him off with a slight shake of his head.
"you were," revali asserts and his voice leaves no room for argument, because it's true. link stares down at him, guilty and insecure. revali hates it. "i can't control what goes on in that stubborn head of yours, but don't doubt me. don't doubt this, what we have. i chose you, all of you, what you are, what you do, what you offer. i'll gladly receive it all, because it's you."
link's breath catches. "revali..."
but revali shakes his head and pulls lightly on link's waist. "that's enough thinking for you tonight," he says. "come back to me and continue with your touchy inclinations. i'm rather fond of it now."
so link with that ever so familiar wide, blue-eyed gaze tentatively leans back down and wraps himself around revali's body again, as they were before, his face buried in the space between revali's neck and head and his breath beginning to even out. revali envelops his clingy songbird in his wings, nuzzling the side of link's face with his eyes shut, beginning to drift to sleep himself, but he needs to make himself clear before either of them drift too far.
"i love you," revali murmurs against link's skin. "goddesses know why you ever doubted it, but i do and i always will. if you wish to possess me, my body is yours to command as you please. if you wish to woo me, my heart has already been infatuated with you for far longer than you've realized you desired me too. my very soul and my entire being belong to you now, for as long as you will it to be."
link doesn't say anything more, but revali can feel his little jewel hug him tighter. "i chose you," revali whispers. "please remember that. i chose to be with you, for the rest of my life. i'm not letting go of you so soon, so please don't let go of me either."
they both grow quiet after that, and revali thinks link has already fallen asleep when—
"i won't," link whispers back. "i won't let you go. i'm all yours too, revali, i love you too."
revali coos lowly in response, holding link a little tighter in his arms. "good. if it's my skin you wish to be in, then it's yours to live under. i wouldn't have it any other way. now, go to sleep. your mind runs circles around itself like a hylian retriever if left without the careful hand of a trainer, like myself."
"whatever," link snorts, but he shifts and squirms and nestles himself under revali's chin until he's comfortable again, until his breathing evens out. only then does revali relax, wings still wrapped firmly around his sweet little songbird, and lets sleep claim him too.
