Author's Comments: This is based off of this really cute reply from an ask at . I really doubt I can do it justice with writing, but it was too cute to pass up! xD There are probably some slight differences between the two, but whatever.

"Hey kid! Have you finished plotting our next course yet or what? I've already finished..."
Linebeck opened the door to the cabin, his words trailing off as he stepped inside. Link was hunched over the desk, not moving.
"Kid?"
Link didn't stir. Stepping closer towards the boy, the sound of steady breathing reached Linebeck's ears, and the relief he would deny ever feeling was instant.
Coming up beside the chair, he was able to see the map Link had been working on. It looked like he had finished charting their next course, so at least he'd gotten that done before he fell asleep. 'Why didn't he come tell me it was done? He's always done that before.'
Placing a hand on the boy's shoulder, he was about to shake him awake when another piece of paper caught Linebeck's eye. 'Wait is that... me?'
No regard for the kid's privacy, he gently pulled the page out from underneath Link's hand. He couldn't help the smile when he realized what it was though.
It was a drawing. It had both Link and himself in it, and they each had an eye-patch over one eye. They both had swords too, raised high and ready to strike. It even had Sparkles up in the corner.
Trying to fight off the smile, he noticed that Sparkles wasn't hovering over Link like usual. 'Where is the little glitter-puff anyway?'
A small noise made him jump before he could look around for her. Looking down, he noticed that Link had adjusted himself in the chair. Checking to make sure the kid was still asleep(and double-checking for any faeries), he tucked the paper into his pocket.
Finding a blanket, he draped it over Link's shoulders, not sparing a single thought to any of this as he turned and left the room.
He still had more things to work on anyway.
Celia poked her head out from inside Link's hat, watching as Linebeck left. Her wings fluttered with nervous excitement, and the huge grin she gave was immediate.
'Oh wait 'till I tell him I saw the whole thing.'
