The spirits who hadn't wanted to help stared after the leaving group. An awkward silence hung over the heroes, and they glanced at each other. Vio picked up a book and began to read, walking in circles around the group in a minuscule effort to stop Red from reading over his shoulder, which didn't work. The Hero of the Essences of Time and Nature plucked a few listless notes on his harp, and the Hero of Time blew softly into his ocarina. The Hero of Hyrule shook his head.

"I hope they're making the right choice." He sighed, and the small tune coming from the ocarina cut short.

"I just know they aren't…" The Hero of Time grumbled, before playing Zelda's Lullaby, the notes pouring from the flute rich and sharp.

"You miss her, don't you?" The Legendary Hero murmured, joining in on his harp. Together, the two instruments brought the song to life for the rest of the heroes. The Hero of Hyrule took a few steps back, and Vio and Red came up behind him to watch the two musicians, Vio closing his book on his finger to save his space. Slowly, the ocarina part faded out, but the Legendary Hero of the Essences of Time and Nature continued to strum.

"Of course. Now that I have time to look back on it…" The Hero of Time sighed. "I just wonder what could have been."

"You need to trust she made the right choice." The Hero of the Essences of Time and Nature replied, still plucking away at the strings.

"I suppose. I just don't want to mess around with time again." He let his ocarina fall against his chest, hanging by the string around his neck. "I wish-"

"Wishing won't get you anywhere. It won't change the past. All you can do is work for the future." The Hero of Hyrule advised.

"What future? We've done our jobs. Let's just be done with it." Vio grumbled.

"Just go then." The Legendary Hero challenged, lowering his harp. "If you're going to be grumpy, you might as well just leave."

"See you then." Vio opened his book as he walked away, and waved goodbye nonchalantly with a dismissing flick of his hand.

"Wonder where he's going." The Legendary Hero muttered, watching Vio curiously. He shifted his weight from foot to foot, tapping his toes on the ground behind him and shaking out his arms. "Unfun loner."

"Probably somewhere quiet where he can just read by himself. I bet he's happy Blue isn't tailing him anymore!"

"To be honest, I sort of want to mess around with him."

"Really? He won't be very happy with you." Red warned, and The Legendary Hero only laughed.

"He's never happy with anyone. Are you coming?" He looked meaningfully at the Hero of Time, who shook his head, and his gaze fell on the Hero of Hyrule.

"You shouldn't." He narrowed his eyes, but the Hero of the Essences of Time and Nature just shrugged, then started bouncing on his heels.

"I'm gonna anyway. I'm tired of standing around. You're all boring." The Legendary Hero took off.

"Hopefully Vio doesn't trounce him too badly." The Hero of Hyrule sighed, catching the staff of seasons as it toppled over.

"Maybe he won't trounce him at all!" Red chirped, and the Hero of Time snorted a laugh.

"We'll see what happened in a few minutes at most." He said, lifting his ocarina again. "Or maybe they won't fight. Who knows, maybe they learned to have a little respect."

"Vio and the Legendary Hero? Not a chance." The Hero of Hyrule declared, propping up the staff against a wall.

"You're right. I can almost see how this is going to go. The Legendary Hero will do something or other to make him mad, then stand there laughing while Vio gets the first hit. I bet he's going to step on his foot or something stupid like that." The Hero of Time chuckled, placing his fingers over the holes in his instrument.

"I think he's going to scare him." Red smiled. "Vio can be a bit jumpy, especially if you break his focus. He can go into another world in his mind. It's so funny to spook him, even though he gets mad. Green does it a lot by accident."

"No, I think he's going to take that book of his." The Hero of Hyrule guessed. "He'll do the thing with the biggest risk if I know him at all."

Sure enough, there was angry shouting a little way away, the words gibberish from the distance. Footsteps echoed into the room, and the Hero of the Essences of Time and Nature burst in, clutching his stomach, his face red from laughter. He ducked behind the Hero of Time as Vio appeared behind him, his face red for a different reason.

"What did you do?" The Hero of Time demanded, unimpressed and a little surprised at being used as a shield.

"Bumped him." The Legendary Hero replied, dragging the Hero of Time between him and the furious Vio.

"Bumped him?" The Hero of Time repeated, before shoving him away. "Quit pulling on me! He's just a kid."

"A very vicious kid." He corrected, and Vio crossed his arms and nodded.

"Well, go have a chat with the 'vicious kid'." The Hero of Time stepped to the side. "I'm not a shield."

"I wish you were!" The Legendary Hero of the Essences of Time and Nature cried, his eyes opening wide as Vio commenced the chase again.

"Wishing doesn't get you anywhere!" The Hero of Time called after him.

"I hate you."

"Not my words. Hate him instead." The Hero of Time laughed, gesturing towards the Hero of Hyrule even though the Legendary Hero wasn't looking. Then he raised his ocarina and started playing again.
