... could you use your good deed for tomorrow now?
[ for better or for worse. he might even owe Mephisto something, but he's sure that somehow Mipha could intervene in some way if it was something truly dangerous. besides, as... interesting as Mephisto is, there must be some kind of inherent good deep down inside of him?
maybe???
his stamina ring is almost emptied, so to speak, and his grip is failing him. there's only one solution left and no time to do it except now.
[And Mephisto became the physical embodiment of the shrug emoji as Link plummeted to his death.]
[All right, not his death, but he does fall pretty far before Mephisto decides to give a shit. Right before he hits the ground, he'll suddenly find himself teleported up to the level ground on the edge of where Mephisto is standing. But because inertia is a bitch, he's still gonna eat snow anyway -- just not to any seriously harmful degree.]
[And for his part, Mephisto just sighs dramatically.]
--but I suppose Lady Mipha would be a bit cross with me if I were to allow you to fall to your death. So do be more careful in the future, yes?
[ but at least he'll get to hear Despacito as he plummets in this hypothetical Bad End, yea? it might be harder when there's suddenly snow in his ears and grunts as he hits the ground with a solid THUD. ]
... I would be cross too, if I wouldn't be able to properly say goodbye to her and her brother.
[ and not mad at Mephisto, but at himself. still, it's not like he didn't plan for a contingency where he wasn't saved. he would've used every remaining bit of strength to pull out the cloth and hope he had enough time. ]
I will try my best. [ hopefully the embarrassed look on his face is hard to see when he's laying flat on his back. ] For you, too.
See to it that you do. It would be shameful to see a great hero like yourself perish over some simple mistake.
[It might be hard to tell if that "great hero" comment is sarcastic or not, given Mephisto's usual mannerisms... even the truth is somewhere in between. If not for Mipha, he'd probably be fawning all over the guy given his "history".]
In any case, I'll leave you to catch your breath after such a harrowing existence! But as for me, I think I'll go on ahead.
[ he's feeling a little tired, but not to the point of falling asleep in the snow which would probably be the worst idea out of anything he's done so far. catching his breath is definitely the right thing to do, allowing his stamina to slowly but surely refill in a hypothetical circular meter unknown to everyone. ]
... thanks.
[ said between some of his longer breaths, as Link eventually climbs back onto his feet. after some stretches, he'll run as hard as he can to catch up to Mephisto! ]
[Unfortunately, he won't be catching up to Mephisto. As a snowy breeze cuts through the air, Mephisto turns and shoots Link a grin from a good distance away-- before abruptly vanishing in a poof of smoke.]
[Hopefully Link won't be needing his help again, because he plans to make the rest of the trip on his own.]
