"You really met the Queen of Fairies?" asked Duo, his eyes wide in interest, "The one who rules even over the Great Fairies?"
Wind nodded, his head resting on his fists as he laid lazily on his stomach in the grass. "I'm surprised I'm one of the only people who've met her. She was really eager to help me out with getting the fire and ice arrows."
"Well, she doubtlessly was around to witness the flood, and you were the first Hero to come around afterward," supposed Twilight, who was busy braiding a few tall wheat stalks together. "Maybe she felt the situation was dire enough to help you out herself."
"Maybe," Wind said before turning slightly pink, "but if she thought things were dire, she sure didn't show it. She, uh, basically hit on me, kind of."
Puzzled, Duo tilted his head. "Hit on you? How?"
"She said I was her type." The small Hero grinned sheepishly. "I mean, don't get me wrong, it was really flattering! Just, you know, awkward."
Duo let out a bashful laugh of his own. "Oh, no, I get it," he said, "I understand that feeling completely!"
Twilight looked up from his work. "Yeah, didn't Labrynna's Maku Tree have a thing for you, Duo?"
"Y-You could put it that way," he replied, scratching his nose. "It wasn't that I didn't appreciate her feelings, and I guess I understand why she had them - I did save her life, after all - but, well, you know..."
With a scoff, Twilight shook his head. "Well, if you guys think that's awkward, I definitely had it worse." He narrowed his eyes and said, as seriously as possible, "I was hit on by a cucco once."
The silence that followed was finally interrupted by a loud snort from Wind. "...Really, Twilight? What, did she cluck seductively at you?"
"I was a wolf then," he said, "I can understand what other animals are saying in that form. Said she liked my eyes, or something like that."
"That explains it," said Duo. "...I hate to say it, but I'm not really surprised. We seem to get that kind of attention from the strangest places."
"The goddesses must have a weird sense of humor," chuckled Wind. He looked up at the older Hero. "Although, Twilight, it's too bad you and that hen never hit it off - I bet you would have laid beautiful eggs together...!"
Twilight flicked one of the wheat stalks at him. "You're gross," he spat.
