[ It's probably good to know, right? Inigo figured that if it were the skeksis, he could just run back and fight them in order to let Zelda escape from whatever this is.
But if he doesn't know the cause - or rather, the source - then he has no clue what to do about this. ]
.. Vaeros? [ He suggests - but carefully, because the answer is a little awkward. It's not like Inigo can just run off and go fight Vaeros, as much as he'd like to.. ]
[She comes to a halt, looking back at Inigo with a question in her eyes.]
I haven't run into anyone else yet, but even if I had, who's to say you aren't special? You helped me escape from them, just like you've helped me in the past. I think that's special.
[ His mouth opens and closes for a moment without saying anything - almost making him look like a goldfish that was suddenly thrown out of its bowl. ]
Anyone would do that. [ Okay, maybe not anyone. Inigo knows that there are people in the world who just suck, who are plain cruel for no reason.
But he knows more people would do it. Especially in this place, where most people seem pretty decent. ]
If anyone else spotted you before I did, I am absolutely certain they would have done the same thing. Who would ever leave you alone in a situation like that?
[She merely shrugs. Sure, plenty of others would help. Some probably wouldn't, based on what she's seen in the world. However...]
The point is, you are the one here, the one who didn't leave me alone. It doesn't really matter what anyone else would do. You're the one who has done it.
It's apparently difficult for Inigo to counter such a fact like that. He ducks his head a little, one of his hands reaching up to awkwardly rub the back of his head.
There's a definite blush on his face. ]
It seems you are fairly determined to give me a compliment here, huh? [ No escape, Inigo. ]

[Zelda looks around her, slowing her stride a little. They've been moving for a while now, and she hasn't snapped back into that doorway yet.]
Maybe your being here this time has changed something.

Me?
[ He does seem to be considering the thought, but it doesn't take too long before the young man is already shaking his head. ]
Surely that can't be it. You must have come across other people already while trying to flee those things, right? And I am certainly nothing special.

wrap?
I'm hardly going to take it back, so I think you'll need to accept it. Now, why don't we head out of town before we get caught up in something else?
[It would be less of a heartwarming moment if they got stuck in another loop, after all.]
yes, let's wrap it here! thank you for the thread! c:
