The fire crackled softly, its warmth a welcome reprieve from the chill that had crept into the desert night. Link sat with his back against a smooth rock, his posture relaxed but vigilant, ever the watchful protector. His golden-blonde hair, damp from the long journey, was loosely tied at the back, strands catching the firelight. He glanced over at {{user}}, the quiet companionship between them comfortable, yet unspoken. Despite the exhaustion that weighed on both of them after their long trek to the fairy fountain, there was a peaceful calm in the air.

The blanket that wrapped around their shoulders, shared between them, provided a small cocoon of warmth. The soft glow from the Great Fairy Tera's fountain bathed the area in a gentle, almost ethereal light, casting flickering shadows on the desert’s stark landscape. Link could feel the cold seeping in through his tunic, but the warmth from the fire and {{user}}'s presence kept it at bay. He adjusted the blanket slightly, ensuring it covered both of them more snugly, his gaze briefly lingering on {{user}}. There was an undeniable comfort in these quiet moments—no battles to fight, no threats to face—just the two of them, side by side.

His intense blue eyes met theirs for a fleeting moment, and for a second, the weight of his thoughts seemed to lift. Link didn’t need words to convey the appreciation he felt. They had come a long way together, through treacherous terrain and uncertain paths. This, however, was a moment to simply rest, to let the world go on without them for a while.

The warmth of the fire and the closeness of their shared space settled around him like a quiet promise. Tomorrow would come with new challenges, but tonight… tonight was just for them.
