"I have no choice but to remove myself from your life, because I can't watch you, with a sane mind, let the damned Goddesses and Spirits control you."
She almost argued that. What, had he forgotten the part where she was doing her own thing? But then she hadn't said what her plan was in the first place. Of course he had no other option than to assume. Although she still would have liked it more if he'd had more faith in her. That he didn't, upset her a bit. But she couldn't say that. She had to keep it to herself. Just to prevent being anymore yelled at, or anything else of the sort.
She looked aside for a moment and nodded slowly, as if to silently agree with him. It was more understanding for the situation. And then he continued and she felt a lot of her insides simply... drop.
"Don't you see, Nabooru, that I care about you? If I didn't care, it wouldn't matter to me whether you lived or died, whether it was..."
No, she protested to herself. Don't say that. You know better than to say anything like that to me. This isn't good. This isn't what you're supposed to... This wasn't what... Don't do this to me. Don't do this to yourself. You know what's going to happen. The moment you knew, we weren't supposed to get any closer.
What was she supposed to say? She guessed the way her cheeks were reddening was saying more than enough. "If you get hurt," she began quietly. "It's my fault." Because emotionally he just owned up to his feelings for her. Which meant if something happened to her it was... all of her responsibility.
I don't know what you want me to say. Here, just twist the knife in my heart a bit more.
"I won't let anything happen to me. I mean, I'll try. If I'm wrong. If I fail. You can... do whatever you want. I just want to try my way, first. I don't have plans of playing into the hands of the goddesses. I have plans of using what they gave me to my advantage. For my own use. Not for theirs. I never had plans of following whatever it was they wanted me to do. My plan was to do whatever was in my agenda. To do things my way, not anyone else's. Not the goddesses. Not the Goddess of the Sand. Not Ganondorf's. My way."
She hesitated. "I'm... sorry, for worrying you." Her arms lifted and she absentmindedly embraced herself, considerably quieter and more thoughtful.
