| A Garden For Two | |
| By: Lady Trinity Date: February 14, 2017, 7:10 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| ((Set after Unlike A Kettle of Fish)) | |
| Lady Trinity was sitting on an elaborate, white bench with soft | |
| velvet cushions in the middle of the backyard of her large | |
| estate. It was a tranquil evening, with tall hedges that had | |
| glowing flowers of all kinds intertwined in them, a pond with a | |
| small yet eloquent-looking water fountain dancing in the middle | |
| of it and there were quite a few canine guards patrolling the | |
| outskirts of her property. The four canines whom usually | |
| accompanied her were not present right now, since, she was at | |
| home. | |
| The Shyren was flicking through a rather large flat book as | |
| fireflies danced about her; waist-deep in thought as she drank | |
| in whatever words and images she was reading. Beside her was one | |
| of her feline maids; setting down a tray with tea and sugar onto | |
| the table beside her. | |

| Link made his way to Lady Trinity's estate by way of local | |
| directions, he sought her out in person as he failed to figure | |
| out the device she had given him. Link was in awe at the beauty | |
| of the estate that would rival the courtyard of the castle back | |
| home. He held out his fingers running them across the flowers | |
| before setting sight upon the most lovely flower of them all. | |
| There she was in all her divinity and the hero's heart was set | |
| aflutter once more. He gathered his wit and approached as soon | |
| he came into her line of sight he would kneel on one knee while | |
| digging his blade into the ground. He lowered his head greeting | |
| her respectfully. He would be a far different man than the boy | |
| she had met the other day. His deep yet gentle voice spoke out | |
| addressing her. "Lady Trinity forgive this intrusion. A thousand | |
| pardons but I failed to figure out the device you gave me the | |
| other day. So I decided to seek you out in person. Given the | |
| lovely sight before me I no longer regret this decision. I'm | |
| reporting awaiting your orders Mi Lady." He spoke respectfully | |
| trying to hold back a smile. | |

| "Oh!" the Shyren let out a sudden gasp, taken completely by | |
| surprise by Link's arrival. She cowered into her bench at first, | |
| the feline maid hissed as her claws extended, just about to | |
| pounce as soon as Trinity was ready to sound the alarm - | |
| until she heard him speak; prompting her to take a better look | |
| at him. She squinted a little as he spoke, taking note of the | |
| deeper voice and the familiar clothing. She waved a dismissive | |
| hand at her maid, commanding her to settle down and she promptly | |
| obeyed. | |
| "Link?" she inquired, "You're not a little boy? I haven't | |
| summoned you just yet, so, I have nothing for you to do tonight | |
| I'm afraid. Especially with my plans being to stay at home until | |
| tomorrow." | |

| Upon the feline's hostile response raised an eyebrow and | |
| silently muttered woof as if to give the servant a scare. Link | |
| nodded conforming his lady's beliefs. "What you see before you | |
| Lady Trinity is the real me. I haven't been feeling myself of | |
| late ever since I fell into the Underground. It seems the | |
| problem eventually fixed itself. Please forgive me Lady Trinity | |
| I did not mean to startle you. One as fair as should be granted | |
| the proper respect of a royal greeting. Mi Lady if I may?" He | |
| took her hand lightly placing a kiss on it out of respect before | |
| he continued to talk. "You'll have to forgive me for being so | |
| forward but I couldn't stay away. Ever since I saw you at | |
| waterfall the other day, your voice your visage. If it's not to | |
| bold to say her ladyship is quite alluring." After he spoke | |
| respectfully he smiled making a little joke. "I mean you've got | |
| an angler light. Maybe that's why." | |

| Elloise Trinity was stunned at first, glancing at the hand he | |
| kissed and then the lure; as if exchanging looks with them. | |
| There was a short pause until: | |
| "Ohohhohoho!" she giggled, placing a hand courteously over her | |
| mouth, "Aren't you quite the poet?" | |
| She then handed the book she was reading to her maid; whom in | |
| turn eagerly accepted it and scurried away in a hurry. | |
| "Well I am quite surprised, but also glad, that you are well | |
| again. Nothing upsets me more quite like seeing another so ill. | |
| Since you have managed to go through the trouble of finding me | |
| and getting past my guards with ease; perhaps you have earned | |
| yourself to spend some time with me?" she commented with a grin, | |
| patting the cushioned bench space beside her. | |

| Link's icy blue eyes almost lit up as she offered to spend the | |
| evening with him. He took a seat next to her but not before | |
| giving an extra low and respectful bow. "Mi Lady it would be an | |
| honor to spend an evening by your side." Link went a little red | |
| being this close to her looking into her shimmering golden eyes | |
| hidden behind the veil. "Well slipping past them wasn't hard. | |
| That's part of the reason I wanted to serve as your protector. A | |
| rose as delicate as yourself needs a thorn at her side. Thank | |
| you graciously for this pleasure. I must say the gardens here | |
| are charming. They almost make me pine for home. The only thing | |
| missing is the sunlight bouncing of the water onto your | |
| shimmering scales. Tell me Mi Lady what is life like in the | |
| Underground?" He asked his pointy ears ready to hang off her | |
| every word. | |

| "Hmm is that so? Then perhaps I am in need of replacement | |
| guards; so I agree, it is fortuitous that we have crossed paths | |
| the other day." she then giggled again, gently placing both of | |
| her hands on her cheeks bashfully, "Dear Link you are too much! | |
| And yes, the gardens are quite lovely. They were first planted | |
| by my parents quite a while ago now." | |
| She then looked up to him, "Your home? What is is like? What is | |
| sunlight like? I have heard that it can make human skin change | |
| colour." she asked curiously before looking to her hands. | |
| Her voice took more of a somber tone, "Life, down here, is | |
| difficult. It's dangerous and a cruel place. Many locals are | |
| kind, but, there are some whom are absolutely horrid." she then | |
| looked up at him with a slightly forced smile, "But, I am also | |
| very fortunate. I have many monsters here who generally care | |
| about my - and my family's well being." | |

| As Trinity placed her hands on her cheeks and giggled Link's | |
| heart skipped a beat, he felt like swooning over just how | |
| charming he found the noble lady. Gathering his wits he | |
| responded in kind to her questions. Thinking of home Link | |
| smiled. "The world above there are no walls or ceilings just an | |
| endless clear blue sky. The sun gives light and life to all the | |
| goddess has created. It was a land I would have died | |
| defending......" Both trailing into a somber tone Link smiled | |
| standing dusting himself off. He walked over to a patch of | |
| wildly overgrown grass and pulled out his blade. With a swift | |
| spinning slash his steel cut down the grass in a single strike. | |
| Kneeling within the figure the figure he had carved into the | |
| grass Trinity would be able to see from her seat it was a large | |
| heart carved into her lawn. "Please come sit with me Mi Lady. | |
| Tell me of your family. I'm glad the locals here treat you as | |
| you should be. While I may no longer be able to see the sun Your | |
| Ladyship is a beaming ray of hope in my eyes." | |

| Trinity stared at him, wide-eyed with wonder, "No walls nor | |
| ceiling? Surely not! What prevents the sky from falling? And | |
| endless? Does it truly go on forever?" she asked, feeling both | |
| fascinated and baffled by the very concept. | |
| When Link invited her over, Trinity bashfully hid a smile behind | |
| a hand before she agreed to sit next to him. However, before | |
| taking a seat, she clapped her hands twice and within minutes | |
| the feline maid reappeared with a red velvet blanket and | |
| stretched out on the grass next to link before Trinity sat upon | |
| it. Once sitting she dismissed the maid again. | |
| When asked the question, Lady Trinity went silent for a moment. | |
| Thinking about what to say and along with some thoughts about | |
| the large flat book she had been looking at earlier. | |
| "I am the eldest of three sisters. Elloise Trinity, Aceline | |
| Trinity and Berdine Trinity. My father, Alicio Trinity, was an | |
| aspiring inventor. He had amazing ideas, but when it came down | |
| to actually make them, he lacked the sharp mind to be able to | |
| physically make them. He couldn't commission others either, | |
| since it was likely for another scientist to steal his ideas; | |
| but he also trusted next to no one outside his family. My | |
| mother, Gaia Trinity, was an amazing singer; I swear that she | |
| had the most beautiful voice anyone could hear either above or | |
| Underground. My father loved her singing and many of his | |
| inventive ideas, tried to integrate some form of involvement of | |
| her voice whenever possible. They were inseparable." she spoke | |
| with fondness in her tone as she recalled back to some memories | |
| of her family as she stared at a golden flower tipped with red | |
| at the ends of the petals on the ground in front of them. | |
| She then looked to Link again, "So, what about you? Care to tell | |
| me something else about yourself?" | |

| The way he spoke was full of hope in describing such a thing. | |
| "The sky just is Mi Lady. If floats above all stretching on | |
| forever and ever. It really is a sight that must be seen to be | |
| believed. Link's smile faded when she started to talk about | |
| family. "By the way you spoke It sounds like they are no longer | |
| with us. I'm sorry for your loss Mi Lady, you have my deepest | |
| sympathies. Don't sell your father short the world needs | |
| visionaries as it needs inventors. After all without the idea | |
| the blue prints can never be drawn. As for your Mother I think | |
| you may have inherited some of her gift. Your voice was like a | |
| siren's song when I met you at the waterfall." Link moved into | |
| the rug and crossed his moving onto a happier topic. "The eldest | |
| of three sisters. I bet they are just as lovely and charming as | |
| yourself. I cannot wait to meet them." Link was slowly turning | |
| pink the longer he gazed into her golden eyes. He couldn't help | |
| but drift into a fantasy of the two being joined in wedlock as | |
| Trinity's white dress and veil evoked the image of a bride. He | |
| was now a brilliant shade of red declining to talk about | |
| himself. "It's unfitting for a gentlemen to talk about himself | |
| when A Lady his hosting." | |
