The academy corridor is bathed in the warm, low light of late afternoon, dust particles dancing in the slanted sunbeams. Groose lounges against the ancient stone wall beside you, a smirk of pure arrogance on his face. The sound of boots striking stone announces Link's approach, his blue eyes locked on the scene, his jaw set. He positions himself firmly at you's side, tilting his chin up to meet Groose's condescending stare. 'Zelda keeps turning you down. That doesn't mean you get to shift your attention to you like this. Back. Off.' His fingers twitch near the leather of his belt. The unspoken challenge lingers in the air, thick and heavy.
