[It takes him a bit to respond. But the answer is simple enough;]

No.

[multidisciplinary]

I beg your pardon? What do you mean, "no"?

[menaceunleashed]

Are you so arrogant as to be unable to accept a refusal?

Even assuming I were inclined to accept such an order, it would not be from you.

[multidisciplinary]

[ "Arrogant." Look who's talking! ]

How did you do it? These tattoos are not strong enough to grant you the power to conjure a Blood Moon.

[menaceunleashed]

[And there confirms his theory of what she was talking about. He rather suspected, but. It's so nice when she does the work for him!]

Perhaps not by themselves.

[He's just gonna play with her a while longer.]

Humor me, Princess, and I will do the same for you. These tattoos are linked to the elements; to what does yours align?

[multidisciplinary]

[ She's gotta stop letting him play her so easily.

But that would require her to realize that he's playing her.

Poor Zelda.


There is a delay of several minutes as she deliberates whether or not to share this information. The last thing she needs is to give him more things he can use against her. But the temptation to learn something useful about him is strong. ]

Mine are a bit less elemental in nature. They grant me access to my hereditary magics, the holy magic of my sealing power and my power over time.

[ Although she does not trust Ganondorf, she knows that his is prideful. He won't attempt to cheat her by withholding information; cheating is beneath him. ]

[menaceunleashed]

[There's something to be said about trusting an opponent to be exactly whom they are.]

Curious.

As you may have expected, mine is similar. To unlock the dark magics I was taught, and were enhanced by my Secret Stone.

Of which you cannot remember me obtaining.

[Not quite a question. But definitely baiting an answer.]

[multidisciplinary]

[ So his power is learned, not inherent. That comes as a bit of a surprise to Zelda, who has unknowingly been assuming that his powers were similar to hers-- passed down from some godly entity. She really has no reason to think this; it's just the explanation her mind supplied in the absence of any information to the contrary.

(Then, is it possible that Ganondorf was not born a monster? Zelda always insists as much to Darin, but she has never been willing to entertain the possibility that the same might be true for her mortal enemy.) ]

I cannot, no. Your memories extend beyond my own.

[ She takes the bait, but in her defense, it would be difficult to keep up with a lie like that if she tried. ]

Then, the secret stone amplifies your power enough that you can create a Blood Moon.

[menaceunleashed]

[Perhaps both.

That said...]

It does.

[He's tempted to try and coax her along a thought trail of thus realizing he had nothing to do with this one, but- what's the gain? Better he keep his enemy in the dark.]

You are a direct descendant of Rauru and Sonia, then? I was not aware they had children.

[multidisciplinary]

[ He's such an asshole, letting her needlessly stress out over what's not even a real Blood Moon. ]

They do, but I am not their child. I am a cousin of Sonia's.

[ Yes we're still telling that lie. ]
