Emily sighed.
"I at least want to go and find out."

"And that's a good thing. A desire. A curiosity to know more." Ariana said taking Emily's hand. "You should go out there and see the world. Your father is just scared. Give him a break. I'll work on him. Maybe we can at least get a little trip around the realms in. Maybe with Ian and Link. What do you think?"

Emily gave Ariana a look that made it clear she knew this was a compromise, and an unnecessarily loud sigh, but nodded and reached over to hug her.
"Thankyou," she said, forcing a smile.

"I will also get him to promise you can go study wherever you would like when you turn 18. Can't have my successor being a an uneducated shut-in. Now can I?" Ariana laughed to try and lighten Emily's mood. She brushed the hair out of Emily's face. "Sweetheart, you know he loves you just as much as he did before Arina was born. As do I. All we want is your safety and happiness."

Emily heaved her shoulders melodramatically and nodded.
"I know," she half-whined, nodding her defeat and planning how to alter this to her preference. She would scheme with Link later.

"Now tell me, there must be an advantage to having a teenage daughter. So what's scoop? Tell me all about the boys you like." Ariana said changing the subject.

Emily rolled her eyes in an over exaggerated manner.
"Come on Mama, really? Besides, no boys are good enough to go toe to toe with me."

"Oh, so it's a girl then." Ariana joked. "Who is it then? I have to know if she is worthy of my beautiful daughter."

"Shut up, Mom," said Emily with a smile, shaking her head and raising an eyebrow. "You have your own love life to go all twinkly eyed over!"

"Oh how I miss the courting part though. The flirting, the dates, the presents, the way over used lines that he actually thought worked." Ariana laughed. "get out their have some fun for me. I'm old now and I miss it. Now go find Link before her dad sweeps her away again. But I expect you both at tea."

Emily grinned and nodded.
"Okay!" She turned and kissed her aunt-come-mother on the cheek before jumping up.
"I'll see you later, Mama!"
And with that she bounded off into the garden, back towards the library where she assumed Link would've returned.

Link looked around, but it was clear that the hero of the game had disappeared. She turned back to the princes.
"Okay, now I played. Time to go terrorize somebody else." she said to them.
"Thanks for playing." Auron, the oldest of the three said. "And I hope someday you will say yes when I ask you to marry me." then they ran off to bother Tylir some more.

Emily caught Link in her eyeline and grinned to herself. She sped up her approach and then pounced on Link, wrapping her arms around her as she took her to the ground, giggling as she did.

"What are you a cat now, too?" Link asked as they rolled over on the grass. She couldn't help grinning at being tackled by Emily, her best friend. Her only real friend anyway. She moved around too much for any other real friendships to form.

"What, I can't be happy to see you now?" Asked Emily with a grin, rolling onto her back to look at the blue sky.
"So, Mama suggested that maybe I take a trip with you and your dad..."
