[What did he even mean? Adults were awful. Maybe he could convince Zelda and Malon to live in the forest with everybody else, when all of this was over. Although, Impa would probably murder him....]

No one's gonna help us. We're kids. No one listens to us, no one cares about us, so we have to do things on our own.

"I'm listening, I care, and I'm trying to help. Why? Because you got my attention, and made me believe that you are serious."

Of course I'm serious, we've all been kidnapped!

[Deep breath.]

Can you help me get home?

"I plan on trying, but interdimensional travel isn't in my skill set. I usually leave that to Miranda, Luna, and Dominic. But there are a few things I can do. And until they pay off or don't, I can help you be ready for when we DO get home."

I'm ready right now. Right this second, I could go home and be perfectly happy.

"Well yes, figured that out. But until we can make that happen... maybe I can help with other things."

Like...what?

[That's the face of a child who isn't sure what's going on.]

"I'm a Bard, dear boy. There are always ways we can teach and help and be of use."

[Link felt even more lost.]

But, I just need to go home. I'm not really sure story-telling is gonna help with that.

"If all we did was tell stories, we'd be BARreD from so many places. But there are stories, music, jokes, swordsmanship, dramatic timing. So many useful skills."

[Link rubbed his arms, looking uncertain.]

Music is nice.

"You play?"

My friend Saria taught me how to play the Ocarina.

[He had a small clay ocarina that he took from his pocket.
It had obviously been made by a child, but, it was fully functional.]

"I would love to listen if you would be so kind as to play for me. Mostly I'm like messily cutting a peanut butter sandwich... I jam on the axe." [Grin.]

[Jam he understood--food made from berries. Peanut butter was foreign to him. Maybe, butter with nuts? Yetch. Gross.]

You should probably cut sandwiches with a knife.

[Yeah, secluded child. Raised by a tree. What did that have to do with music?]

I guess I can play.

"I could, but that wouldn't be as funny."

[Link felt very lost. Why would cutting a sandwich with an axe be funny? Was it a weapon thing? No, it couldn't be, because the thought of cutting any food with his sword was unappealing. (Considering how many monsters he'd killed with it.)]

Um.

Okay?

"You do know that a sense of humour can be as cutting as a sword, and disarming as the rack. I like to rack up the puns for punishing effect."

I dunno what you mean.

[He sighed and scratched the back of his neck.] "Wow, this is going to be tricker than I imagined..."

Adults are weird....

"Well, yes. At least the best ones are..."

[Link looked hopeless at this point.]

The best ones listen, or at least try to answer a question or two.

"I've listened, and I have and will answer.... However, it is not my fault if you don't understand the answer" [he teased.]

....you're just making fun of me.
