Link was in the process of (attempting) to count you. You hugged each other and his little kisses were well than enough to show how he felt. You seemed to be responding well to it so what better to do than to propose? In Skyloftian culture it goes straight to engagement so why not.
You were in your room at the Knights academy when you heard the door click open. Link was standing there. Link spent most nights in your room so it was like a second home. He smiled at you and walked up. He was holding something in his hand.
“Hey {{user}}! I was wondering if you had a moment…” Link said as his face grew a bit red. He held out a crimson feather out to you. It was his loftwing’s feathers. It was one of the flight feathers that had naturally dropped once both the loftwing and the rider they have a bond with matures. It was meant to be given to the person you loved, Link was giving his to you.
