Inigo: Why, hello there, Link! What a coincidence running into you here!

Link: ...This is my tent, Inigo... Wouldn't you expect to see me here?

Inigo: So, I was just on my way to the nearby town. I've plans to chat up some beautiful ladies, you see. For the two of us to meet, here, before I could embark? This must be a stroke of fortune!

Link: ...Are you... hitting on me?

Inigo: ...W-What gave you that idea?

Link: The Gerudo have told me I have some... feminine features for a guy, but... I didn't think I'd be mistaken for a girl like this...

Inigo: No, no, no! Stop right there! That is not what I meant!

Link: Oh... Well... Please explain?

Inigo: I've been on the hunt for a good wing-man, that's all! A good-looking guy like you? With your help, I may finally meet that special someone. That's why I was happy to see to you. There are no feelings of attraction on my end, I promise you!

Link: You... want me to be your wing-man?

Inigo: I do! All I need is for you to follow me around while I carry out my search for lovely lasses. Once I've found a particularly fetching one, you just need to make me look good.

Link: … And how do I do that?

Inigo: Oh, it's simple, really. You start by bringing up my good qualities in front of her. "Inigo is the most generous man I know", or "I would lay down my life for Inigo, my best friend", and maybe something like "If you're looking for a guy that will satisfy all your desires, you can't go wrong with Inigo!" Y'know, stuff like that.

Link: ...But none of that's true.

Inigo: Another great strategy is to be the butt of the joke. If I poke fun at you a bit and get the ladies laughing, that will make me look better in comparison! Part of being a good wing-man is putting on an undesirable front so that the man looking to score, me, will look even more appealing. Genius, isn't it?

Link: You're serious?... No, I'm not doing that... I can't believe that you'd even treat me that way.

Inigo: Does it truly matter what some village girls think of you? I can't imagine why you would care. Remember that I'm the one trying to get lucky here. You've got a gorgeous princess waiting for you back home, I'm sure. There's no need for you to fret over girls anymore.

Link: ...Yes, there are princesses in Hyrule, but it's not like I'm married to one... In fact, I've never dated before, and I don't think I've ever been in love.

Inigo: You've got to be kidding! You saved your entire kingdom and the lives of thousands, but you're still single?!

Link: ...It's hard to think about love when you have a world to save... I've never had the time.

Inigo: But everyone in Hyrule must know you by now! With your status, you could have any woman you desire, Link!

Link: ...Love isn't a priority for me right now.

Inigo: Hey, suit yourself. If that's really how you feel, though, you should have no problem being my wing-man, don't you think?

Link: ...Is this really so important?

Inigo: If you don't help me out, I'll be forced to cry and beg until you reconsider. That would be such a shame, too. Everybody knows how much you enjoy your quiet time...

Link: Goddess above... and I thought dealing with Mido was a pain...

Inigo: Soooo?

Link: ...Fine, I'll go... but I'm not embarrassing myself in front of these 'lovely lasses'... I'll find other ways of helping.

Inigo: Ah, music to my ears! Let's meet here again right before sundown, then. Today is the day my luck turns around!

Link: C'mon, Inigo... You're still mad at me?... It's been a week... Can't we talk this out, at least?

Inigo: Leave me be, you traitor. There are no words to speak between us... Leave me be, and let me wallow in my misery.

Link: *sigh* You're so dramatic...

Inigo: If you tire of hearing my woe, then you should go back to that village. The ladies are dying to see you again, that's for certain.

Link: ...I wasn't trying to steal their attention from you.

Inigo: It was exactly like when I took Brady and Gerome with me to pick up girls, only worse!... Damn you and your gorgeous blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes.

Link: ...You sure you're not hitting on me?

Inigo: Oh, don't play dumb... That's not some empty compliment, it's simply a harsh truth. I never had a chance of wooing the woman of my dreams with you around... I don't understand what's so 'cute' or 'dashing' about that dumb hat you wear or that flute you like to show off, but clearly I have much more to learn about the fairer sex.

Link: You're wrong... There was a woman who was interested in you, but you ran away... You didn't even give her a chance.

Inigo: Ugh, please don't remind me! I'm doing my best to forget about that encounter entirely...

Link: I don't get you... Your goal is to find a girl that's interested in you, right?... You didn't have any success until I told her about your dancing hobby. When you finally got what you wanted, you turned her away.

Inigo: Y-You told her?! When she asked me to perform for her, I was speechless. I figured she mistook me for another, but no. You were the one who spilled my secret! How do you know about my love of dance?!

Link: You were practicing alone in the woods one day... I like to spend time in forests, and I happened to see you... Your mother has the same habit, you know.

Inigo: *groan* This is mortifying... It's only a matter of time before everyone knows of my humiliating passion.

Link: I'm sorry for telling her, but you can relax. I won't let anyone else know... I usually keep to myself, so I'm good with these things.

Inigo: *sigh* I wish you didn't know about it at all. Now I'll feel exposed and vulnerable around you. You hold my darkest secret over my head, and I can never take it back...

Link: Man, you know how to blow things out of proportion... What if I share something embarrassing about me, then? We'd be even that way, right?

Inigo: ...You'd do that for me? How exciting! I wonder what kind of skeletons the Hero of Time has in his closet!

Link: ...I have a phobia of chickens?

Inigo: That... is strange, but I'm looking for something more substantial.

Link: Hmm... Okay, how about this? So, I grew up in the Kokiri Forest. Everyone there had their own fairy partner that was granted to them. For a long time, though, I didn't have one... Some kids picked on me because of that.

Inigo: Link, that's not embarrassing, that's just sad... Being bullied as a child isn't exactly the juicy gossip I was expecting.

Link: O-Oh, I... I'm not sure what else I can share...

Inigo: Well, you're a young man like me. Surely you've fancied a girl or two during your travels? Tell me about a crush you've had! Ooh, maybe you've got the hots for someone in the Shepherds!

Link: ...When I was younger... I... did have a crush on a farm girl I met in Hyrule... Her Dad would tease me about her... saying how I should marry her one day.

Inigo: Hah, look at you blushing! So, what became of it? Did you ever confess?

Link: Nah, it was just a crush after all... She's still a good friend, though... I would get excited to see her and find reasons to visit... Heh... She's the reason why I love drinking milk so much.

Inigo: Eh, not the most revealing story, but I'll take it. Apology accepted, friend!

Inigo: Good evening, my wing-man! I've plans to grace the nearby hamlet with my charm and striking features. Care to come with?

Link: ...Weren't you there a few days ago? A woman gave you that bruise on your arm, I thought.

Inigo: Ah, so true! That venture didn't go quite as I'd hoped, but such is life. Tonight is a new chapter, and I won't let the past get in the way of my future.

Link: ...It's amazing how quickly you can bounce back from rejection... I hold the Triforce of courage... but I'm starting to think that you're the one who deserves it.

Inigo: You flatter me, friend. Being turned down stings, I cannot deny it, but if you flee from rejection, you will never find acceptance. All it takes is one 'yes' to make my struggles all worth it! Once you understand that, it isn't so scary. I find it all rather thrilling, truth be told.

Link: Well... I find women scary... I'm more worried about them saying yes than saying no... They grab onto my arms and whisper in my ears... I get so nervous that I can feel my heart beating through my chest.

Inigo: That's to be expected, unfortunately. A handsome bachelor all by his lonesome without a girl by his side? The eyes of the ladies will find you. It certainly doesn't help that you're a toned warrior with an exotic flair. The green tunic and hat draw interest like a magnet.

Link: ...Why do you even want me to go? Don't I just get in your way?... I was taking all the attention from you, remember?

Inigo: You were, but I was ignorant of the world back then. I wasn't wise enough to discern the truth of what matters most.

Link: That wasn't that long ago, but... okay. So what'd you learn, then?

Inigo: I learned that scoring with a gorgeous woman is not the end-all be-all. Setting you up with a gorgeous woman is just as important!

Link: ...But it's not important... I don't care about meeting a girl right now.

Inigo: I've realized that traveling the path of success is lonely by oneself. It is much more fulfilling to walk that path with dear friends and to celebrate their achievements as if they were your own!

Link: ...Inigo, no offense, but I don't want to walk this path with you.

Inigo: And so, it is no longer my mission to find my dream girl. My mission is to find dream girls for us both.

Link: ...He's not listening to me...

Inigo: What say you, my fellow seeker of love? Shall we shake on it? Let us be steadfast wing-men until the day we find our beloveds!

Link: ...No.

Inigo: N-No?! What do you mean, 'No'?! I poured my heart and soul into that speech!

Link: You're like that lovey-dovey couple I saw in the Hyrule Market... Your head gets so high up in the clouds that you stop paying attention to anyone around you... Stop daydreaming for a second, and listen to me.

Inigo: That wasn't daydreaming, that was a beautiful life lesson that I was-

Link: I'm not looking for love, okay? I don't like hitting on women... It's nerve-racking, and I'd rather be training or foraging.

Inigo: ...Then I'm on my own again...

Link: But I don't mind being your wing-man once in a while... When I've got nothing better to do, that is.

Inigo: I knew you cared about me, Link! You're a true friend to the last!

Link: Again... I don't know why you want me, of all people... I'll end up competing with you.

Inigo: Fear not! This is also part of my eye-opening revelation.

Link: ...Go on.

Inigo: You and your silly outfit will draw the ladies in, you see. You are the bait, so to speak. Once they approach, that's when I dazzle them! With you there to bring my good qualities into the conversation, I won't seem so desperate. Victory is assured with this plan!

Link: ...This is basically what we tried already... You sure I can't bring up your dancing? That's a great way to impress people.

Inigo: Please, no! Bringing that up will only kill my confidence.

Link: If you're going to use me as bait, you should have a quality or skill that I don't. How are you going to win them over otherwise?

Inigo: I'll... I can...

Link: I can't dance, that's for sure... I dance like a Goron... It'd frighten people rather than impress them... I wish you were more confident in your passion. Some people will reject the idea of a male dancer, sure... But what was it you told me? "Flee from rejection, and you'll never find acceptance?"... This is the time to follow your own advice, yeah?

Inigo: ...I'll... think about it... I'll need to work my courage up before I can bear myself like that.

Link: I'm your wing-man... That's what I'm here for.


A/N:

I've finished editing the earlier chapters of this fic. I mostly fixed grammar mistakes and got rid of unnecessary ellipses. (I use them a lot, I know...) I don't think I've changed anything enough that it warrants a re-read by any means. On that note, though, if anyone finds any obvious grammar mistakes and cares enough to let me know, feel free to PM me. I'm a bit of a perfectionist with this stuff, so I'd welcome that with open arms.
