mipha hold his hand challenge
wholesome // @jirkou
AN EXPRESSION OF SLIGHT bemusement across her aquatic features , eyes drifting over toward the taller boy . while mipha is familiar with the hylian’s usual stoney expression she finds there’s something rather different this afternoon . link’s face is slightly flushed & his expression while still blank in most regards bears a faint aura of discomfort . hence her need to stop her pace across the river bridge .
❛ LINK ? — ❜ clear concern is heard within the single word , brows furrowing as she looks over his features . ❛ is something the matter ? you seem sort of … ❜ she stops herself mid sentence as her eyes finds his hands at his side . they’re slightly fidgety , & mipha notes his fingers curling in & out of a fist . come to think of it during their stroll together she had noticed link’s hands brushing against her own hand at her side . had he been trying to tell her something ?
HER BROWS RAISE UPON the realization , a small blush of her own rushing to her cheeks . oh . so that’s what was going on . at times like these the princess really wished link spoke more frequently . mipha’s not necessarily oblivious but it is rather difficult to pick up cues like these without being told directly . oh well . at least now she knows .
HIS HAND IS TAKEN in her much smaller one , the princess giving him a small squeeze as she takes them . mipha notes how warm his hand is & wonders if it has anything to do with being a hylian & being warmblooded or if that’s simply how link is . she casts him a shy smile though even in her own bashfulness she’s able to laugh softly at the situation , smiling wider as she says . ❛ is this what you were trying to tell me ? ❜
