[You may stumble upon the writings of a sad Little Link. Poor kid needs to use stronger filters, clearly.]I guess no matter where I go something bad's gonna happen. I thought Luceti was gonna be someplace nice, where I wouldn't have to worry about bad guys or people getting hurt like I did back home and I didn't

[Please don't mind her butting in--] I feel the same way. Everything's usually fine around here, but then there are these drafts and... I'm afraid for some of my friends, because I know they're strong and they'll always get called.

[If they died-- ohhhhhh.]

Wait, that was supposed to be private! I guess I forgot to filter it right.

But that's terrible. You must get so worried.

I'm sorry for intruding then!

But, um... I do, especially now. They're my best friends, and I'd never want anything bad to happen to hi them. Actually, I think I'd be quite lost without them, to tell the truth.

Maybe [A pause.] you can try thinking more about spending time with them so you won't be so worried. [It's just a suggestion. He's trying to help here!!]

[It's Sailor Mercury, Link, transformed and in her uniform.]

I've gone on the Draft twice before. I'm sure I'll go again some day.

And they probably feel the same: If fighting means you, and everyone here, can be safe, then that's fine for us.

[elixirsoup]

But how come I have to just sit around and wait while they go and fight? I don't like it! I'm supposed to be protecting people as the Hero of Winds but instead people are risking their lives to protect me!

I'm gonna keep practicing with my sword. Maybe then I can fight too!

[no_use_running]

Did you know I also fight with a sword? [No? Well, now yes.] I'll train with you, if you'd like.

[elixirsoup]

Really? You would? That'd be great!

Unfortunately, that's how a lot of things end up. But don't worry! I'm sure there are plenty of things you can do to help those who need it! Even if it's small things like giving them food and water or redressing their wounds.

[elixirsoup]

[Written]

I guess I could do that. I know doing favors for people can really help them. But I can fight! I'm a hero back home! So I feel bad that I can't be out there protecting people too.

[entwiningfate]

You're a hero? I must say that I'm impressed. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your chance to protect all of your friends here. Just be ready.

I know it's not fair, and it's frustrating to be the one left behind. I'm sorry, Link. I wish you didn't have to go through this.

[elixirsoup]

[Written]

It's okay, Miss Rydia. It's my fault 'cause I thought things would be different here.

[mistlegacy]

Oh, Link, please don't say that. You didn't know!

...where are you?

[elixirsoup]

By the fountain. I was just gonna get my stuff and go to the barracks.

[elixirsoup]

[Action]

Huh? [He turns.] Link! What're you doing here?

[elixirsoup]

Really? [Looks down.] I, uh... I'm fine. I was gonna go train too. I was just getting rusty with my sword, I guess.
