"Oh, your mother sings too? That's awesome! I'm sure you two make a wonderful duet." Teagan beamed. She'd sensed Jesse's discomfort. What she was unhappy with, she didn't know. "My mother taught me to draw and paint for the first few years I was interested in art, actually. She's a lovely painter when it comes to acrylics. She just never uses that talent much, unfortunately."

Jesse forced a smile. "Yeah... I bet we would make a good duet." She then whispered. "We probably would have..."
She turned her attention back to the wall of paintings, trying to hide her discomfort more. Teagan had noticed her awkward, shifting movements and strained voice. She bit her lip, trying to recover that over-filled-glass optimistic emotions that covered her hurt deep inside. She cleared her throat and sighed.

Teagan thought it best to end the conversation. Jesse seemed even more discomforted, and it sort of got awkward. She yawned. "Blah! I'd love to talk more, but my eyes are starting to droop. I'm heading off to bed. I suggest you do too, but you can chill here a little longer if you want. When you're ready to get some shuteye, just head into the kitchen and take a left, the guest room is there. Note that it's also kind of sort of my studio, so its also pretty messy. I wasn't expecting company." She laughed and stood up, walking over to a ladder. "The bed's untouched, though, so it's clean, don't worry. If you need me, I'm up this ladder."

Jesse nodded, squeezing out a smile that looked mostly normal. She bid Teagan goodnight and took one last look at the rose before following her directions.
When she arrived in the guest room, the mess really didn't bother her. There were brushes and charcoal sticks scattered everywhere, but Teagan had been right. The bed was untouched. Jesse sat on the edge and sighed, letting the memories of the day swirl in her head.

Teagan clambered up the ladder, climbing onto the loft above. It was a small space, with a slanted ceiling so low you couldn't stand in it without bumping your head against it. A circular mattress covered most of the surface area, with deep blue and yellow colored blankets on top. There was no back wall, it was a thin sheet of clear glass; a window to let her count the stars.
She flopped onto her bed, burrowing herself underneath the blankets. Teagan fell asleep anxious -and reluctant- for tomorrow's arrival.

After about thirty minutes of reading, Brooke found a stopping point in her book, and set it back on the shelf where she had found it. "Looks like I'm off to bed now." She said with a tired smile. "I'll see you guys in the morning." Brooke yawned, melting into the bed and slowly making herself comfortable. Mumbling a quiet good-night, Brooke fell into sleep.

"Where am I?"
"Is this a dream?"
"Wait... Why am I floating, what is this."
Teagan indeed was suspended in midair, wearing nothing but her white dress, floating in an endless void of blackness. As soon as she shut her mouth, she dropped to the dark floor, hand gently grazing the surface. Flowers and grass sprung up from where her feet and hand touched the ground. Startled, she staggered back a few steps, watching as flora bloomed with each movement. Her hand moved backward to find something to lean on, and when she did, a thick, strong tree materialized to hold her balance.
"What the hell is going on?!" Teagan threw her hands up, then immediately brought them to her sides stiffly. Where she'd swiped the air, slivers of blue sky could be seen. She stood frozen, examining what she'd done. There were patches of grass and flowers, pieces of sky, and a tree with her in this strange place.
Turning on her heel, she walked the other direction, watching flowers budding beneath her bare feet. Suddenly the flowers changed to dry, desert rock, and then she was falling again. All she could do was flail her arms about in attempts to grab something. She brushed her hand against something, and saw a cliff-side appear. Teagan had walked right off a cliff and didn't know it.
All she could do was fall down. Down, down, deeper, deeper, until-
"AAH- Oh!"
Teagan bolted out of bed with a shriek, hands immediately clamping her mouth shut. She panted hard, recalling the events that she'd just seen. I hope I didn't wake up Jesse... She thought with a frown.
Judging by where the moon was in the sky, it was time for the group to wake up anyway. Realizing what was about to happen, it sort of jolted her awake; she was ready to go, and almost excited. She was going to see Hyrule; going to save her brother, hopefully.
No, not hopefully. She will.
Before she'd gone to bed she'd neatly folded her travelling outfit on the floor next to her low-to-the-ground mattress. Quietly, Teagan picked it up and slid down the ladder, slipping into the door on the right where her tiny walk-in closet was.
She slipped off her nightgown, pulling her blue tunic over her head and fastening the belt on it. Teagan then pulled on a pair of shorts that were concealed underneath the tunic's skirt; It was going to be too hot to wear pants, she could already tell by the warm temperature inside her home. She folded her nightgown and stowed it away in the tall drawer next to her, then pulled on her old brown boots.
She walked outside her closet, picking up her satchel off her coat-hook and making sure everything was there: Her sketchbook, ink and pens, rupees, and her ocarina. On the coat-hook next to it were Teagan's sword and sheath, which she hooked on the side of her belt. Her bow and arrows were there, as well. She slung those over her shoulder with the satchel and wrapped the strap across her torso, so she wouldn't have to carry it around. With one last check to make sure she had everything, she headed into the guest room and approached the sleeping Jesse.
Teagan honestly hated waking people up, but she had to. Gently, she shook her shoulder. "Jesse, Jesse, wake up. It's time to go."

Lucifer calmly stared outside, still awake. He kept wondering how such a small boy could beat an extremely powerful man....heck, he watched something similar over and over and he still could never believe it.
Meahwhile, Destral was still as dead as a doornail. The only sign of life was when he scratched his inner thigh once. It was hard to tell if he was even breathing.
NOTICE: Kusugari, it's like three in the morning. There's no sunrise yet. Please edit this post.

Link stirred slightly, then opened his eyes fully and blinked a few times before rolling on his side grumbling. Remembering who was in his house and what was going on, he quickly stood up, smoothing out his tunic, which he'd slept in. He glanced out the window to see where the moon was in the sky, then nodded. "Let us head to Teagan's now. From there we'll get Destral and Brooke, and then retrieve our horse." Slipping into his boots, which were right by his bed, he then walked over to the left corner of his room where he'd left his belt and weaponry. He wrapped his belt around his stomach and attached his sword and shield to his back, then grabbed his grappling hook and satchel, and attached them to the belt. Link stretched, then nodded to Lucifer. "Let's go, we'll eat with the others before we leave, I'm sure."

Teagan sighed when Jesse didn't wake up. She stood up and left the room, stepping outside onto her porch in the humid air. Robert, I will save you... How she'd do it was the question. Never before had a problem like this come up in her family. She'd never gone on an adventure, never faced up to the big bad monster to run him through with a sword. While she was nervous, she felt she was ready for it, though.
She watched as two figures came up over the hill towards her house. Teagan waved, then jogged over to catch up with them. "Good morning? I think?" She said when she met them, putting a hand on her hip and yawning.
"Good morning to you too." Link nodded. "Is Jesse still asleep?"
"Yep, damn girl won't wake up!" She laughed quietly.
"She has to soon, we're going to want to get out of here soon before the villagers wake up. I don't want the other residents to know of what's happened. Not yet."
"Understandable. Let's go in my place, maybe we can try jostling her awake again."

"I will consume." The Bokoblin rites of manhood had proved longer and more tedious than Majora had anticipated, leaving his host vitually exhausted. At least he was officially considered a member of their society now. Majora's powers were unlimited and he would never tire. Robert? Not so much. Majora could very easily have continued onward, but if he kept pressing his host would die of exhaustion. Majora didn't want Robert to die. Not yet. Robert was his leverage, the only thing that kept Link and his compatriots from disembowling him. Granted, since they were a bunch of softies, he probably could've possesed any old civilian and the bunch of heroes still would have hesitated to bring him down.
Majora lay down in the chamber where the temple's cheif inhabitant had laid before Link showed up and slaughtered it long ago. This was also where the Bokoblins had their cheif encampment and so the room was filled with tents housing anything from food to weapons, to Bokoblins. He couldn't see much from the tent they had bunked him in, but he could swear he saw a few Lizafos out there as well. These "monsters" as the Hylians had dubbed them were much more organized than the Hylians let on.
Sooner or later he would persuade this tribe to attack Ordon and claim it as their own. He would do it soon, once he was certain Link and company had ditched out into Hyrule field. He would know immediatley when it happened. He had ordered his Stalfos out into the woods to keep watch. They were spread out, mostly hiding in the dense forest where none would normally venture. They would report in when they had gone, which could be at any time... As long as Link and friends didn't spot and kill....Er, re-kill them, he would know exactly when and how they had left.
And then, the village Ordon and the Faron woods would be his. One small step for Majora, one giant leap for monster kind!"...Consume, everything..."

Lucifer followed Link outside to Teagan. He kept somewhat silent as they made their way to see Jesse, but spoke up when they got inside.
"What will we tll the villagers when they wake up? Several already know what happened thanks to Destral. How do we know they will be quiet? "
He kept his voice low, knowing that anyone might be awake at this time.

"We don't. We are leaving before the villagers wake up, that's the point of departing so early in the morning."
"Plus," Teagan chimed in, "my family has it covered. If anyone asks where we are, they know they should make up some sort of story to cover up what really happened to my brother."
The group entered Teagan's study. A few papers fell from the ceiling and glided lightly to the ground. "Sorry Lucifer, Link, it's uh. A little messy." She said, not bothering to be quiet. Jesse had to wake up soon anyway. "This is my studio, along with my guest bedroom." She knelt by Jesse's bed once more. "Jesse, Jesse wake up. Jess... We have to go."

Jesse sat up, blinking the tiredness away, yawning. "Crap, did I sleep in?" she asked in a tired, yet still joking voice. "That happens way too often when I actually get a bed to sleep on." She managed a smile through a yawn. She stretched, revealing the fact that she was still wearing her lilac tunic. She grinned. "Always prepared."

Teagan helped Jesse up. "Not too late, don't worry." She said with a small smile. "We still have to get Brooke and Destral, though." She turned to the rest of the group. "No time like the present. Let's go now."
"Agreed."
The group went to Reana's first to fetch Destral. Using Teagan's keys, they were able to get inside without having to wake anyone up. They all approached Destral, who was fast asleep on the couch. "Destral... Destral wake up!" Teagan whispered loudly. She didn't want to wake up Reana or Nikko.
