[The view on the screen is upside-down and shaky, the folds of her dress being the only thing visible at first. The video tilts up, revealing her face and expression, much paler than usual and absolutely terrified.]

Link--! Sheik--! [Her voice is shrill, panicked.] He's here! Ganondorf is here!

[Once again the view on the screen is jostled around as she turns the communicator to point it at 'Ganondorf'. However, it turns out that the other creature in her croft is actually just a bunny. A fluffy, tan, line-faced bunny that is just shuffling forward into the center of the room.

Of course, this only causes Zelda to become even more agitated. With a little shriek, she tries to press herself further into the corner of the room, the communicator falling out of her hands and onto the floor. In her mind, the walls of her house are pressing in, smothering her with darkness, and Ganondorf is towering over her, backing her into the wall, waiting to torture and kill her. For some reason all rational thought has fled, leaving her cold, terrified, alone.]

((OOC: Zelda had borrowed a book from the Mansion's library, and keeping it this long has caused her to hallucinate and develop a case of irrational fear, etc. The book has now been borrowed by Aveil, and yes, Saki's new bunny is the 'Ganondorf' in this hallucination.))

...A book.

[And suddenly, everything fits neatly into place. His eyes narrow again.]

Where is it?

[He really thinks it's the book? She stares intently at the ground, trying to focus solely on the memories of the past few days so that she could arrive at the answer more quickly.]

I have not seen it since the attack.

[Oh, she sees a connection there...]

[The attack. Haven't other people been complaining of missing things? For some, it might be a far leap of logic, for Sheik, it's instantaneous, and he has no doubt this book is the cause. Which means he has to return it. Then, he assumes, the situation will right itself.

And, given what he's seen on the network lately, and given the absence of their Gerudo friend during the fight, Sheik has an inkling as to where he might find it.

He looks at the princess directly.]

I believe I know how to fix this, your Highness.

[She hasn't had the chance to pay as close attention to the network, so she is not sure what he plans to do. But she trusts him and nods.]

I hope it will not be too difficult. [She looks away, taking a deep breath.] I should have been more careful...

The fault was not yours, Princess. [If he'd been more vigilant, more careful, if he'd listened to his own wisdom -- well. He knows what to do now, and bows briefly, smiling minutely for her sake more than aught else.] Merely a trifle, my lady. I'll return soon.

[And with that, he goes off to find a certain Gerudo...]
