(Hyrule Castle)
Not even having a chance to think, the wolf had no choice but obey his new companion and leap out the window. Once they were a safe distance away, the strange imp Zelda had called Midna got off his back to talk.
"So…" she said, "I guess I ought to return you to where you first tumbled into the twilight. But aren't you forgetting something?" Once again displaying remarkable magic powers, Midna transformed herself into first Colin, then Ilia.
"ILIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Link then began doing a wolf's equivalent of sobbing.
"Um… what?" asked Midna, utterly confused.
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT! MY IDIOCY GOT ILIA KIDNAPPED! WAH!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT?" bellowed Midna. She slapped Link on the snout.
"Hey… do that again."
Midna was completely nonplussed, but shrugged and did as he asked.
Link sighed. "It's not the same."
"I don't know, and come to think about it, I don't really want to know."
"It's that girl you're impersonating at the moment. Ilia. She only the smartest, sweetest, most beautiful girl on the face of the earth."
"Okay, wolf-boy, let me get this straight. I don't care. But if you want to save her—"
"Hey, I've got a question."
Midna narrowed her eyes in annoyance at being interrupted. "Yes?"
"You look like Ilia," Link began.
"Ye-e-e-s," said Midna slowly. "Your point?"
"Do you smell like Ilia, too?"
"Smell—what the hell?"
"I've just always wondered what Ilia smelled like up close."
Midna could do nothing but stare for about thirty seconds. "Why would anyone wonder a thing like that?"
"Because Ilia is the smartest, sweetest, most beautiful girl on the face of the earth. I know what her favorite food is, what her favorite color is, what her favorite animal is—I'd just like to know what she smells like, too."
More silence. "Are you a stalker or something?" Midna asked.
Link laughed. "That's really funny… I once overheard Ilia telling her dad the same thing. Coincidence, huh?"
"…Coincidence," echoed Midna with sarcasm. "Yeah…"
"So… DO you smell like Ilia?"
Midna took her regular form again and called upon her powers to warp the wolf back to Ordon.
