"....hmm."
What a dilemna the Chosen had fallen into. what a dilemna indeed.
Upon entering the igloo that was steaming atop, signifying hot springs, Zelos Wilder was faced with two doors. The one on his left led to the males' side of the springs, the other to the females' side. It was terribly, terribly tempting to embark to his right and catch a glimpse of smokin' hot... ooh, it just tingled him to THINK about it. Then again, that may get him thrown out, and he would actually appreciate a dip in the springs after his last stressful day dealing with that... alien, or whatever.
Then again... he was awfully skilled at sweet-talking his way out of things. Who knows? Maybe he'd get lucky and stumble into a gaggle of very secure girls who would simply adore the company of a beautiful specimen such as he.
Well, that convinced him. He pushed the door open to his right, popping right in.

He couldn't exactly figure out why he was following the voice. The teenager known as Link Yuuki wasn't the supernatural sort. He didn't believe in magic, he didn't believe in faeries, and he sure as hell didn't believe in prophecies in dreams.
...Or at least, that's what he was telling himself. The fact was, for the past week or so he hadn't gotten that god damn dream out of his head. It was even more unusual in that he never remembered his dreams. He remembered this one. That androdynous voice, those streams of light, that insistance his Courage wasn't great enough. What the hell did Courage have to do with anything, anyways?
He pretty much tore the lower branches off some trees as he came to a small clearing ending in a cave. Small in that it would take him five steps to get to the other side, top. There was grass at his feet. He was pretty sure he'd heard the voice from this direction. He took two steps forward, telling himself he was going to just peek in and get the hell out, when his foot gave out from under him. He had enough time to let out a surprised gap before gravity caused the grass and hidden hole beneath to swallow him up...---------- There was a small flash of golden light directly above Zelos' head. By this time, the red haired man had made it all of three steps into the room. Link was still a fair bit disorientated as the flash vanished and he appeared where it had been. All he really knew was that he was falling. He hadn't gathered his thoughts together enough to realize where he was falling from or who he was very likely about to crash into... even worse, at the angle he was at it was very possible Zelos would get a bamboo weapon to the face... And Link sure as heck wasn't a girl, either. (OOC: Here's what Link's weapon looks like: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/80/Shinai.jpgIts strapped to his back via a makeshift old leather sheath, the hilt is over his left shoulder, as it is in most official versions of the character. XD)

Zelos took a brief (okay, maybe a LONG) peek at the young, innocent, VERY well-built females lounging, splashing, giggling.... ohhhhh, it was a dream come true...!
The Chosen sasheyed a few steps inside in quite a manly fashion, was just about to announce himself in his best Patrick Swayze impersonation, but just as he breathed in, he was quite rudely inturrupted by the random person dropping on top of him. Adding insult to injury, the wooden weapon strapped to his back also whacked him right upside the head.

Something had made a grunt and the landing hadn't been as hard as the seventeen year old had expected it to be. Link grumbled something very unkind and a bit nasty under his breath as he reached down to sit up. Shouldn't he be in a bit more pain after having fallen down a damn concealed hole in the grass. His hand hit something entirely not floor and he looked down with a scowl towards.... a rather girly man dressed in pink. And his hand was on the guy's chest.
Link's first reaction was to leap to his feet. He didn't look embarassed, rather he looked quite pissed. The sudden movement caught the attention of one of the women further in, preventing much in the way of further reaction. Because there was a high pitched squeal and Link was being forced to duck to prevent a washbin hitting him in the head. It did reveal something about the teenager though. There was a less than "civilian" grace and fluidity in how quickly he ducked down, one hand hitting the floor and completely avoiding being hit. Rather like the instinctual way a fighter might dodge, really.
"What the hell is going on!?" He seemed to be asking the "girly man" with mutated ears.
(OOC: To clarify, Link is a normal teenager in his world. He just happens to be a bit of a jock and does tend to wipe the floor in kendo. So he's better than average. Worth note is he's never actually been in a REAL fight, like one where his life is on the line. XD
I don't consider Zelos all THAT girly, but this is this Link. Plus, I'm used enough to pretty boys I don't see girly as quickly as a lot of people. XD
And to Link, Zelos' ears are mutated. Its a throwback gene type birth defect in his world, non "elf" ears. XD)

"Ungh...." Zelos rubbed his head--damn, his gorgeous locks were all mussed up. "That... is a GOOD question."
He sat up to confront a... ugh. Some punk. Some elfin punk. Well, wasn't that just great. Just what he needed. Man, he had the worst luck at these hot springs.
"Look, buddy--" More squeals briefly inturrupted him. "I want as badly as you to worship these sweet lovlies, but you didn't have to be so damn in a rush." He shot a glance back--dammit, he was missing out on all the action! Already the last girl had dashed out the back door. He sighed, QUITE disappointed. "....and now they're all gone. Way to go, you scared them off."

Link returned the look of disgust with a glare of his own. He glanced over as more yelling shouted and a few things clicked into place. A few very confusing things. How the hell had he fallen through a concealed hole to come to hot springs!? He looked back at Zelos as the man implied he had come in here to peep. And then accused him of scaring them off!?
"What the hell are you talking about!? I fe... I was in a forest, I've got no damn idea where here even is!" Link glanced down at Zelos and followed back up to his face, "Hell, if you're that interested in sneaking in here, wear a different shirt. You'd pass for a woman just fine."
It was anything but a compliment.

Zelos smirked. Oooooh, this one was feisty. He knew it was an insult, he was well used to it, but it took it the other way on purpose, lifting himself up to his feet in a bout of confidence. He wiped the imaginary dust off the mentioned shirt and gave the elf kid a smirk.
"Why, thank you, good sir. At least you can spot beauty when you see it. Maybe you've got some redeeming qualities under that ragtag exterior."

Link opened his mouth to object, but then the weight of what Zelos had said sunk in via several slow clicks. He paused with his mouth open, a look of disgusted confusion spreading on his face. Missing the fact of where they were and what he suspected the man had been doing, he closed his mouth and the confusion changed to just disgust. Just... he wasn't going to even acknowledge that. He shook his head and a visible shudder could be seen. He was rather greatful the guy was wearing a tight shirt. He didn't even want to think about the embarassment that would have happened had Zelos truly been mistakable as a woman.
"You know what? Just forget it. I don't have time to deal with a jackass like you," Link stated.
He didn't wait for a response, stepping to the side and intending to leave. He actually also intended on bumping Zelos' shoulder on the way past. He still didn't know where he was or what the hell was going on, but damned if he was going to let this "pretty boy" know. It was likely Zelos hadn't forgotten Link saying he didn't know where he was at, though...
Even more interesting was Link's outfit. While a school uniform, the green and brown were not standard colors. Depending on Zelos' time on the Island, it was possible he'd mistake the teen's outfit as a military uniform of some sort. It wasn't all that standard for a male high school uniform, even from the Japanese and related worlds connected to the ITS. There was also a crest on the tie, which while in Link's world represented Hojoshi High School, could be mistaken as something else to those not in the know.

"Hey, hey, come on, take the stick out, kid, I'm just messing with you," Zelos laughed, and as Link bumped him, he followed up with an arm around his neck, as if he was going to give the elf noogie. He was terribly tempted, but the kid looked pissed off enough already.
"Since you're such a stickler in HERE of all places, PLUS your painfully obvious confusion, I can see you just fell in, it looks like," he deduced. "Don't worry, happens a lot nowadays, I heard. More and more people falling into, you know, this whole gap between dimensions and all. But I won't bore you with the sciency details."
He was talking as if this whole falling through a dimensional portal was just casual conversation. It kinda WAS in Dimensional Island, but Link sure didn't know that. So Zelos MAY have come off as slightly condescending; not that he was aware of this. He mainly just liked the sound of his own voice.

Most of what Zelos said flew straight over Link's head. Because he'd tried to dodge the man's grip as he reached out for him, but there had been an unexpected speed. For all his training, the fact remained Link had never been in a real fight. That seperated him by miles from Zelos, who was likely acting on those reflexes from habit more than real intention.
The bottom line was that Zelos managed to catch him, if only barely. This lead to Link shooting up his arms and trying to pry Zelos' hands loose. It also lead to him not hearing a word that followed the grab. It was a few seconds after Zelos had ended his explanation that Link twisted his body to the side and managed to bring his right foot down square on Zelos' left. He intended on using the reaction as a chance to slip out and put a bit more distance between them. And he wouldn't be so easily caught again. As far as he was concerned, it had become a sort of fight due to the man's actions.

"Anyways, I sure you could--OWCH!" Zelos hopped away and lost his grip on the kid. As he clutched at his foot, he shot the ungrateful little elf kid a pouting glare.
"GEEZ, kid!" he excliamed, honestly perplexed. "What was that for!? Is that how you elves so hi to EVERYONE!?" They must wear steel-tipped boots, if that were the case.

Link glared at Zelos as the man dared to yell at him. Dared to yell at him after the red-head had been the one to grab him in the first place! He was opening his mouth to argue when Zelos continued his justified ranting. The word elf through Link off guard, and he blinked. His expression was as confused as Zelos probably felt.
"What the hell are you talking about!? What the hell is an elve?"
It didn't seem like he was yanking Zelos' leg, he just didn't seem to understand. He hadn't even said the singular form properly, further indication of his confusion. He wasn't even concerned with Zelos' ignorance as to why he'd stamped on his foot. Seriously, what the hell was an elve?

Zelos gradually stopped hopping, the pain numbing into a dul throb. Wait, what? This kid was an elf without knowing what an elf WAS?
Well now this was awkward.
"...an elf is... you know..." He didn't know why he owed the kid an explanation, but he tried, making pointy gestures around his ears. "...with the pointy ears and all that."

Link straightened up a bit, his own posture relaxing after some subconscious reading of Zelos'. It didn't seem teh guy was going to grab for him again. Now that he thought about that pose, guy had probably been trying to give him a noogie or something. That thought caused Link's eyebrows to crease in annoyance. He would never admit that he'd misread the action, but he was very annoyed that this guy had pulled that. So much for adults, yet again. He watched as Zelos reached up to his mutated ears and made gestures, and then referenced his own ears like Link's were strange.
"Are you retarded?" Link stated. He hadn't thought his respect for this man could drop any lower. He'd been wrong, "You're the one with the fucked up ears. Wise Nayru, everyone knows that the rounded ears are a birth defect."

Zelos' lame attmept at an explanation was derailed the moment Link threw out the insult.
"...what?" Retarded? Birth defect? He was honestly perplexed. But he was the Chosen! He was the image of perfection! What was this kid, new? Obviously, if he didn't know what an elf was. Sheesh, thatwas common knowledge.
"...look, kid, I don't have to put up with this," he calmly repressed any anger, beginning to turn away. "And I WAS gonna help you figure out where you are and everything..."
