I was afraid... but maybe I can be brave too

       He leaned in close, an arm wrapped around their waist as he smirked, golden eyes glittered, his lips to their ear.     “Wanna go out with the phantom thief?”

The boy couldn't stop the slight yelp at the words whispered in his ear. "U-Uhhhm... Y-You do realize I'm a guy.. right...?" He then realized how that sounded and his cheeks burned a bit brighter. "N-Not that there's anything wrong if that's how you swing or anything! J-Just.. normally phantom thieves go after girls... don't they..?"

     What Link felt when he opened the door was shock, dropping a sack of rupees, his sack of items, the merchant, his cowardly  double. However surprise melted away as his lips turned upwards into a very sweet smile, delight overtaking sapphire eyes.

     ”Ravio!” he cried out, rushing over and arms wrapped around the purple clad one.  ”I didn’t think I’d ever get to see you again!” he admitted, small tears had formed, a bond  had grown between the Hyrulian and the  Lorulian. Or at least Link believed there was  a bond now.

     ”What in the name of Hylia are you doing in Hyrule? Shouldn’t you be at Lady Hilda’s side..?” he questioned. “There’s… Not some great danger  between our lands is there?”

The first reaction that Link gave almost made Ravio worried. Did Link not enjoy being around him..? Honestly Ravio wouldn't have been surprised considering what they'd gone through, though the change in his double's expression relaxed the Lorulian. 

Even if he had been relaxed though, he hadn't exactly been expecting the reaction to turn into a hug like that. There was a small pause from the purple-clad young man before he put his own arms around the male in front of him. "I... I didn't think I'd see you either, but I'd always hoped." 

He pulled back just enough to look Link in the eye. "You make it sound like you didn't want me to come visit!" Especially with that what are you doing here comment. He didn't push too much though as he gave a shake of his head. "Ah.. no, nothing like that. Princess Hilda is doing more than well, in fact Lorule's changed so much more for the better since your departure." No thanks to himself that he could admit to of course.. "There's no danger that I'm aware of.. I just.. happened to find a crack that would still allow me through and I didn't think much beyond that." Thinking about it now.. he had to admit that was kind of dumb...

Wishes were quite the strange thing. For the longest time he'd wished to be able to see his friends from Hyrule again, but it was difficult when the magic of the world seemed to have been drained away. Ok, so it was more like the rifts had just closed up but close enough. However, almost as if hearing his wish during some of Ravio's travels he found a single one of those cracks that connected the two worlds... and this one was still full of life. 

It had been a while, so without any hesitation Ravio slipped through and attempted to make his way to Link's home. Thankfully he managed to make it without anyone seeing him to try and stop him. Might have been awkward to try and explain his appearance after all. Upon arriving, the male slipped inside the home without hesitation, blinking upon seeing it empty. Perhaps Link was out for a bit..? 

He wandered around the familiar dwelling again, a small smile to his face as the memories came flooding back before he blinked when he heard the door opening. Turning towards it, the response was automatic as he put on a smile. "Welcome home Mr. Hero!"

If you wanted to help Link so much why did you charge him for the weapons? Especially with the whole renting them to him first and then selling them?

"I-I...." The boy sighed, scratching the back of his neck. "... I wanted to... just give them to him... but... I wasn't sure who it was that was the real hero of Hyrule. I knew it was the hero that needed them the most.. but how could I be sure..? There had been a couple of people that came to my little shop after all. I couldn't just let anyone keep my weapons that I'd found. When he came back with the Master Sword though.. then I knew. I knew he was the one for sure. The Master Sword is good about that... doesn't let just anyone wield it. I should know.. heh.. I... I tried to wield it... you know, back in Lorule." 

He swallowed hard, shaking his head after a moment and giving a shy smile. "By the time I knew though.... with how I'd acted for my persona in Hyrule.... it would have looked rather suspicious if I was to just all of a sudden give him the weapons... so instead I offered to sell them to him and him alone. I made sure they were cheap though... well, without looking too cheap that it would be odd.... I..." He shook his head, mumbling to himself. "I wasn't strong enough to use the weapons that I worked so hard to acquire.. but if someone else could to save my Princess.... even if I had never been able to return home again.. it would be worth it.."
