[ It's dark enough in Link's bedroom that Zelda can't make him out clearly, so she's franticly squinting into the dark to try to make him out. There's an obvious air of panic about her-- the way she stands tense and frozen in the doorway, a hand clutched to her visibly rising and falling chest, as though she is out of breath. Her face is pale and there are heavy bags under her eyes, proof of the many stressed and sleepless nights she has experienced lately.
She hears him before she sees him move, a gravely voice calling her name. ]
Link...
[ He's awake. He's here. He's awake here, in Songerein, somehow, by some stroke of divine favor or sheer dumb luck. After so many dreamers woke, so many dear friends, Zelda was all but certain Link would be next.
But he's here. He's still here.
Link has just enough time to sit up while Zelda is still processing this realization before she bolts from the doorway and throws herself at him. ]
You're awake!
[ She throws her arms around Link and pulls him into a tight hug, half-standing, half-kneeling on his mattress, burying her face in the crook of his neck. It doesn't occur to her for a moment that she should probably be more gentle with him. The only thing on her mind is holding him as tightly as possible. ]
Thank the Goddess.. [ Her voice comes out muffled. ] I was starting to think you'd never wake.
