hey what if i took this character and this line and ran sooo far with it. what if i gave you an earned arrogance because i want more than anything for the rito to be prideful always.

what if i made you a political chess-piece on the muddy chessboard that is a nascent hyrule in that you are a highly competent representative to signal hey. we may not have your traditional ruling hierarchy but you better think twice about trampling over us if you were ever thinking about doing that. you know. just in case but not so ambitious as to invite paranoia.

what if i made you battle-hungry and hunt-ready and listen, you don't fight just to fight, but you enjoy the rush and it's like flying, it's in your bones as much as song and wind.

what if i made you childless in that you did not want to spend the rest of your life with anyone so intimately, and you did not want children, but i also made you a father in that some adopted you anyway. you leave your legacy not in any blood, but in your teachings and Songs and tales and when you appear to your successor, you call him descendant because he has "inherited" everything that actually matters from you. huh. what about that. what if— oh no.
