Deactivating his Dataverse Device by relaxing his grip on the Rupee, Ganondorf had just stowed it into a belt pouch when a tapping at his elbow and a high-pitched voice drew his attention. Golden eyes, much like a wolf’s, sought the source and found yet another little girl. Strange that so many children were not only in this competition, but seemingly interested in competing in the first place. Didn’t they have dolls to play with, or some other playtime activity to engage in? Ganondorf fought down an exasperated sigh before it could break free of his lungs and smiled down at Desco, as she called herself. Like Guu, this one was strange, only in a different way. Innocent. That was the only word that came to mind that would describe this young one. Her pointed ears and purple hair could be overlooked, but such innocence in this violent competition stood out more than Ganondorf did amongst the Kokiri.
Lips curling in a polite smile, Ganondorf lowered himself to a knee before the girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Guu? Yes, I know of her. I had actually just met her myself.”
Desco’s eyes practically lit up in excitement at his words, but his next put the girl into a pout.
“Not that it’s any of my business, young one, but what are you doing here? You don’t seem the type for such a bloody contest.”
The Gerudo didn’t know why he even cared about the girl. A weak combatant like her would be easy pickings on the island, making his victory all the more assured. But, he DID care… and perhaps it had to do with Firani. He couldn’t protect the Gerudo woman, but perhaps he could protect this girl. However, along with that pout, Desco’s eye lit up with an angry fire and she practically growled as she replied to him.
"Desco isn't scared, Desco is a Final Boss! Desco is here because Daddy asked her to do her best in the contest!"
She was so sincere that Ganondorf couldn’t help but to chuckle, causing Desco’s eyes to flare even more before the Gerudo held up his hands in surrender. It seemed the girl was adamant about this, so the least he could do was to humor her.
“I do apologize, good miss. I must not have recognized your greatness before, but I certainly see it now. And,” he leaned close to her, nearly whispering in the girl’s ear, “From one Final Boss to another, I must say that I’m impressed. You may still have some growing to do, but such evil at such a young age… Well, it’s good to see the youth of today being proactive.”
The Gerudo’s smile widened as he leaned back away from her, a hand on her shoulder turning the girl to face where he was pointing. “Your friend is over that way, young one. Do take care of her. A Final Boss must always be attentive to the well-being of her allies and minions.”
