[ It isn't unusual for Link to spend his quiet moments alone just like this: projecting his thoughts out into the ether, hoping that maybe - just maybe - a familiar voice will answer back to set all his worries at ease.

It's cathartic to do it, in a way. These uncertainties are not something he can share aloud, and maybe that's exactly why they are powerful enough to reach someone. ]

I miss you. Please... I don't know where to go without your guidance.

[ Since Mal's disappearance, she feels like she's been looking for signs of him everywhere. If something had been moved in their room, if she swears she saw him in a crowd.

I miss you, and she blinks several times, as if disbelieving while the words write themselves on her wall. But then more comes, and it does not make sense for this to be a mark from Mal. Or anyone really? She peers at it intensely, thinking of what her reply would be to this message. ]

Who are you, Link? I have lost someone too.

[ With his eyes closed in something like solemn prayer, the words appear to him like a dream, clearly visible and sparkling brightly behind his eyelids. Link blinks his eyes open in surprise and mild alarm, only to see the words still written there on the wall.

What is this...? It isn't the voice he's used to hearing in his mind.

He reaches out to touch it, but feels no engraving. The way the words still hover over his fingertips definitely suggests some form of magic. ]

Alina...?

[ He doesn't recognize the name, but knows instinctively that must be a signature. So she not only heard him, but can respond as well. What an incredible power this person must have! ]

You heard my thoughts?
