Description
Link and Bluebird stopped at a stable for the night. It had been a long day of traveling and both were tired. Well, sort of. As Link set up a bedroll, along with extra pillows and an additional blanket, Bluebird came up to him. And she had an odd look on her face. Side-eyeing him. So he froze for a minute, watching to see what she was going to do. Sure enough, just as he had figured... Bluebird gave his hand a tap and darted off.

Oh she loved this game. Bluebird waited for Link to look away, then repeated it. She could not help the giggle that came out of her that time. The tiny girl circled around to his other side. And darted in again. But he was ready for it, and she gave a squeal of laughter as he gently rolled her over onto her back, and pinned her between his hands. Bluebird laughed harder, knowing what was coming next. One finger poked at her ribs, and it was all over for her. She immediately burst out laughing. "No, no no no nonononononono!" Bluebird tried to crawl away, only to be grabbed by her legs and playfully pulled back. One little mini swipe of Link's hand was all it took to flip her onto her back again. She could see he was now grinning like an idiot, trying not to laugh but failing miserably at hiding his amusement. "Noooo nOT the riBS!" she squeaked out as he did indeed go for her ribs. Bluebird tried to squirm away in one direction, only for the finger of the hand she moved over by to tickle her. She was like a humanoid worm, thrashing back and forth. "That TICKLES!" she squealed out as he got her yet again. Now he was outright laughing. Link went for the sides of her neck next, only for her to giggle and hunch her shoulders up. So he danced his fingertips across her ribs, again. Bluebird tried flipping onto her belly only to be denied that escape. Bluebird cackled as Link easily flipped her back over, twice, his movements resembling a bear flipping logs over. Link grabbed her legs again, this time holding her upside down at eye level. He gave a playful puff of air at her, blowing her hair back and making her laugh even more.
'Give up yet?' he signed with his free hand. "I give, I give!" Bluebird cackled. She tried to reach up to his fingers, but before she could, he was rolling onto his back. Bluebird was gently deposited on his belly as he laid back. She was quick to get back up to her feet. Link had kept one hand near her, so she toddled over to it for stability on his middle. Link snorted as she did this. Bluebird playfully stuck her tongue out at him, a gesture he reciprocated. Then she rubbed at her eyes and yawned. All the laughing and playing had worn her out. She looked back at his face when he nudged her with one knuckle. 'You should get some sleep.' Bluebird gave a little nod. It wasn't hard to fall asleep on him. When he let her sleep LITERALLY on him like this, it was very nice. Warm, soft, safe. She bunched up part of his tunic to make a sort of pillow before laying down on him. As had become the norm for this arrangement, he rested one hand over her. Both for protection, and to keep her warm. And it gave her a little hiding spot if she felt she needed it. Sure enough, within minutes she was sound asleep.

He didn't fall asleep right off. He watched her for a while. Her demeanor and playful nature reminded him of his sister. Whom he missed greatly. But he found some comfort in Bluebird and how she interacted with him. A far cry from when they had first met, and she had been scared half to death of him. Now her personality was shining through. And he thought it was adorable.
