Link knocked on the door of the princess's study, hiding something in his other hand behind his back.
Zelda opened it and blinked in surprise. "Is there something you need, Link?"
The Hylian hero rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, um… What was the name of your favorite flower again?"
Zelda closed her eyes as she recalled what she knew. "The Silent Princess… They are a rare, endangered species of flower that can only thrive in the wild."
Link had begun to pull what he was hiding out from behind his back, but then he paused and frowned. "Endangered…?"
She nodded. "Yes… As such, they have been protected by royal decree. It is now against the law to pick them, or else they might go extinct."
Link gulped and clenched the object hidden behind him a little tighter. "Oh… okay. Th-thanks."
Zelda smiled and closed the door.
The Hylian hero sighed and looked down at the Silent Princess in his hand, wondering what to do with it now. Link's stomach growled, and he licked his lips.
As he went back to his post outside the study door, Link swallowed the chewed-up remains of the flower and wondered what else the princess liked.
