"What? When did I say that? Of course we all got to go home after!" [Whoops. We....]

"Whoa whoa... hold up kid. Maybe being here is part of helping. My whole point is we don't know. We don't know why we're here or how. Helping Maltak helped everyone, every lad each of the heroes came from, and the healing spread to lands we'd never even seen. Every bit of good we put into a world, any world, ripples. It's like singing at the mouth of a cave. The echos are the good you sent out into the world, spreading out. Different, perhaps, but still good that only existed because you raised your voice."

....

[He did catch that slip, but, let it pass for now.]

If helping one place helps other places then, that means, I should have been left alone in Hyrule and me helping there should have helped here, if here needed help.

I'm telling you, this is a bad place. There's something bad-wrong with it.

....and singing in caves is a good way to get eaten.

[Similes were not something he'd had much experience with. Monsters trying to eat him, on the other hand...]

"It might be a matter of order. It is good to take a deep breath when you plan to dive deep into the water, but not so good an idea to take that breath AFTER you went under, kid. You might be right... but as long as it is possible that a peaceful solution could be reached, that has to be the primary path that we attempt."

"And I've sung in lots of caves. The acoustics are great."

...you and the other crazy guy would be great friends. He wanted to buddy up to the monsters that were killing people. Regular people don't matter to him either.

[Link sighed.]

Yeah. Where I come from, you'd be eaten.

"Regular people matter to me, I assure you. And I doubt I'd be eaten. Few monsters have such good taste, after all." [Grin.] "All the same, maybe you are right, I'd love to meet this other crazy guy, care to make an introduction? At least to start?"

He's a doctor. Or something like that.

He thinks monsters are more important than people who get eaten by them. If he's not eaten by one by now, I don't know where he is.

[He couldn't wait to go home and not be around adults anymore.]

"Where did you meet this... doctor or something like that?" [He now really wanted to meet this guy.]

The guy signed up for a bounty that I had signed up for too. I thought I could help people by getting rid of a monster, but, noooooo. Monsters are misunderstood!

[Link threw his hands up in the air.]

So, I won't make that mistake again.

[He chuckled.] "Introduce us?"

I dunno where the weirdo is. If he hasn't been eaten or killed, I'm sure he'll show up sometime.

"Well, if you run into him again, have him toss me a call?"

...you wanna go hug a readead or something together?

"Who knows, but at least if we're distracted with each other we'll have less time to pester you."

Yeah, but, I left him and I dunno where he went. Or if he's still alive.

I wanted to hogtie him and do the bounty alone, but, I didn't get to.

"Not... really the best method for dealing with someone, is it?"

I dunno. If there's a monster killing people, people are dead, their families are mourning them, and some weirdo starts talking about the monster being the victim? Hogtie seems pretty tame. Keeps the crazy guy from getting in the way, and it doesn't hurt him.

"But leaves him vulnerable to someone else who might want to hurt him." [Donovan was open-minded about the capacity of people to change, even the people that didn't look like people. And frankly, most of the worst monsters he'd known had worn human skin at some time or another. The king, Celesto Morgan, Karnak, Szark. Some of them had started out good, some had turned or returned to good, but all had done things, killed so many.... And then there were some even he could not see forgiving. The infernomancer that slaughtered Miranda's students. Helxia.]

I'd stick 'im in a closet or something. He'd be fine.

"Next time give him to my keeping, I can take care of it."

Or team up and form some sort of monster-loving alliance.

"Either way, we're out of your hair."

And then you're both out on a quest to hug monsters! And what if you drag other people into it? You guys'll get innocent people killed!

No one in all of Hyrule is that stupid! None of the Hylians, none of the Gorons, none of the Zora, and especially not any of the Kokiri and we're kids!!

[He had to laugh. The kid was amusing.] "A quest to hug monsters. That sounds like the start of a story."

Pfft.

A really short story.

'Once there were two idiots who decided to go hug all the monsters in Hyrule. They got eaten. The end.'

"Ah, but we're not in Hyrule..."
