[After a moment where he's honestly too surprised to respond--]

A battle to the death with an elder is traditional.

[No it's not. It's absolutely not.]

I wasn't sure if you were still here.

[It-- takes him a moment to respond. Beat's right. He's the one who left.]

I'm sorry. It seems I did.

Can I make it up to you?


[Translation: can he bribe you with food]
skyglider: (but it goes to waste)

[Another quick moment before he responds. There's no simple way to put his response into words, honestly... The stain on the page doesn't go unnoticed, but rather than comment, Link takes a different approach.]

Where are you now?

[ His experience isn’t the norm here, so he’s going to do his best to think outside of the royal box ]

you mean like having a party or something? I don’t think people in Lucis really did anything significant…
skyglider: (lights...will guide you home)

[Rather than respond, he closes the journal and heads straight to the warehouse. In the present, Link is in a much better state than he first arrived, both physically and mentally, but realizing that Beat is still here, that he hadn't vanished the way Alphen did, puts some urgency in his pace. He heads inside first.]

... Hello?

I didn’t have anything much when I ā€œbecame an adult,ā€ just did some stuff with my friends.

[ Conveniently leaving out the bit about royal duties, an agreement to marry Lunafreya, etc. ]

you planning something for somebody?
skyglider: (and...ignite your bones)

[He...he really is here. Goddess, he's barely changed -- for a moment, Link is too shocked to respond, trying to process it all over again. Four years doesn't feel terribly long, when you're living it every day, but in hindsight...so much has changed.

He's brought a small basket with some food, but he sets it down for now, bridging the space left between them and pulling Beat into a hug. They may not usually be hugging friends, but-- look, Beat is one of the best friends he's ever had. Four years changes very little, but being back here reminds him of how much he's missed the teen. So, for right now, he's a hugger. Deal with it.]

[ So, he’s planning a party for himself…? ]

dude, you shouldn’t have to plan your own birthday party if that’s what this is about.

[ There’s a brief pause in the writing ]

Unless this isn’t about a party and you want ideas for some way to prove yourself, like fighting a god or something…

You should simply be grateful you survived to live another year. Tradition isn't needed when each day brings you closer to death.
