A challenge had been issued. And if anyone thought someone like Sidon would do anything but fully rise to meet that challenge with aplomb and gusto....well, then, clearly, they did not know Sidon. He supposed he could have waited a little later in the day, understanding that it was the weekend and some people (very rarely him!) liked to enjoy not having to be up early for classes or jobs or whatever else they had, but it took a great deal of willpower to wait even as long as he had. After all, each second that passed was an opportunity to lose that challenge.

And that simply would not stand.

Which was why there was a very large Zora at the door of Room 221 that morning, giving it a strong and hearty knock. "Vette!" he called out, before delivering another rhymthmic rapping on the door. "Vette! It is I, Sidon! The Zora Prince!"

She could probably hear that sparkling grin through the door, really.

"You must come quickly! We haven't got a moment to spare!"

[[ for that girl he kinda likes, though feel free to grumble. and NFB for distance after they hit that sweet, sweet portal, natch ]]

Any hug that ended with Sidon kisses was indeed a hug well-executed, and Vette hummed happily into those kisses, hanging on just that little bit longer, even while the rain started to come down in buckets and soak clean through her clothing.

She grinned against his mouth, and nuzzled her nose against his face, and then gave a happy little sigh.

"The ruins aren't going anywhere without us," she agreed.

Yup, still the luckiest girl in the multiverse.

"I should certainly hope not," said Sidon, grinning at the nuzzle, nuzzling back before kissing her forehead. "If it has been there for hundreds and hundreds of years, and chose this very moment to just disappear off the face of Hyrule, well, then, I must say, it clearly wasn't worth our time and effort anyway."

Even the greatest, dustiest ancient ruin out there wouldn't be worth it to him if it meant having to miss out on this.

"Oh, if it chose this moment to disappear of the face of Hyrule, I think that means we'd have a bigger puzzle to solve together," Vette pointed out, and there was still a bit of delight in her voice as she said that, too. "Disappearing ruins? If you ever find something like that, you better take me there right away."

Just imagine the adventure they could have trying to figure that one out!

And all the kisses along the way!

"Right away," Sidon promised, giving a faint nod of dedication to accompany his soft smile and his thumb brushing adoringly against her cheek. "Why, that just about nearly makes me wish it does disppear, if only to add that extra element of mystery and surprise. Mmmm, perhaps if we just gave it a little bit longer..."

...it was a very good thing that he'd planned to start this date out nice and early; at the rate they were going, it could very well be nightfall by the time they even got up.

And Vette would be soaked through enough that they might as well have just gone the swimming route to get to the ruins, at that.

"We can always hope to get lucky, hm?"

Said the galaxy's luckiest girl.

Oh, just give it five minutes, the rain would likely clear up as quickly as it had started.

Unless, of course, they decided to go climbing, and then it would never stop.

"I must admit," said Sidon, chuckling a little, "this has rather gotten my curiousity to start tickling the back of my brain in wondering if there is a possibilty that we might truly discover it gone when we arrive! And there's only one way to calm that particular curiosity, though this current situatuion we find ourselves in is rather," and here he sighed a bit wistfully, soaking up the moment as well as the rain, "incredible."

"Incredible," Vette echoed, smiling a little bit more. She contented herself to sit for a few more moments. And then, in a murmur, she said, "Sidon?"

And a little fidget.

"Thank you for all of this."

And the tide of worry that rushed in at that little murmur and that little fidget ebbed away just as swiftly as it came in with those words, leaving behind a wash of relief and a little embarrassment that he'd felt he'd needed to worry at all. "You're quite welcome, Vette," he said, beaming, leaning into her with an appreciative nuzzle. "And thank you for providing me with the absolute exquisite inspiration and for being so completely willing to just be whisked away on the capricious whim of an infatuated fool, only to be caught in the rain and having to listen to me babble on and on about myself for an eternity."

"You seem to have an eternity of good stories," Vette pointed out. "And I like hearing them."

She laughed a little, reaching up to touch his headfin, fingers lingering near that scar.

"Even if some of them make me want to shake you. I still wouldn't change you."
