[ - wait, is it weird for him to have noticed that the fruitcake makes Zelda smile a little wider than the other desserts? Link doesn't want to give her the impression he's watching her too closely...
watching her closely is literally his job, but still ]
I mean, I've heard.
[ flawless save ! ]
Do you mean to make, or to eat? I'd choose differently for each, now that I think about it.

That is what she called it. Is that strange?
no subject
but it does leave him curious ]
Have you done much research on... dating?
no subject
"research" is the funniest way to ask this, though. ]
I have merely had the rules on courtship thoroughly outlined to me. No, Link, I have not been on a date before. Have you?

Maybe I could talk about food for 10 minutes. Longer if you had questions.
no subject

no subject
I know
