A/N: Short and sweet. It's okay though as it gives me more time to work on Valentine's stuff.


"I can still hear you two," Urbosa called as she set her mug down with a clack. As she expected, the two children hushed up immediately.

"Is it really that big a deal?" Daruk asked quietly with a frown. "I mean, aren't ya glad they're finally gettin' along?"

"Of course," Urbosa replied just as quietly, hoping that Link's hypersensitive ears wouldn't pick up her voice. "But they're still supposed to be sleeping." Upon taking Revali in, the Rito child had taken an instant disliking to Link for some reason. It had caused quite a lot of tension as Mipha and Zelda had tried to bridge the gap. Of course, it was a struggle for the young Zora as she had a history with Link and was often quite upset when they fought. Zelda, on the other hand, was a bit more levelheaded but didn't have anywhere near the social awareness needed to effectively diffuse the tension.

This had been an issue for the group, children and adults alike, until recently. Revali, having gotten angry over something or another, had flown away. Link, who had been struggling with guilt over the matter as well as fearing for his safety, had given chase. Mipha, who had a lot of experience with the Hylian boy's habit of getting in trouble, had gone with Link. Leaving Zelda to be the only one to let their guardians know.

By the time they had found them, Link was trying to distract a monster while Mipha tried to help an injured Revali escape.

Though Daruk and Urbosa had stepped in and handled the situation easily, the danger he'd been in had not been lost on the Rito child. Link, for his part, had apologized for what he had said to upset Revali. Not long after, the Rito child had truly joined the inseparable group of children.

"And you're not gonna say anything to Mipha and Zelda?"

"Nope," the Gerudo replied. "I can't hear them."

Daruk opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out as a thoughtful expression crossed his face. "I suppose ya got a point."

Again, they heard another bout of quiet giggling.

"Oh, for the love of -" Urbosa muttered as she set her tea down again. "If I hear you two again, I am coming up there and knocking your heads together!"

Again, the two boys fell silent.

Daruk started chuckling, trying to stay as quiet as possible. It wasn't long before Urbosa joined in.

"Reminds me of my old man," Daruk rumbled with a nostalgic grin. "Me and my brothers would stay up late messin' around until he came in and put the fear of a queen Dodongo in us."

"Zelda's mother and I did the same thing," the Gerudo said wistfully. "We'd stay up late and try not to talk too loudly. It got so bad at one point that we had to listen for our parents and pretend to be asleep when they checked in on us."

"Heh."

Both adults sighed as they heard Revali remarking on something yet again. "Would you like to go up there, or should I?"

"Together?" Daruk offered.

"My thoughts exactly," Urbosa replied with a rueful grin.

Both adults stood and made their way up to the bedroom above.
