[ It's strange how quickly everyone, Link included, is settling back into life in Kenos despite what they'd been through. Time heals all wounds, but Shard-Bearers have no choice but to move on from it at lightning speed. Life marches on, even in the wake of strife and tragedy, but... the scars don't fade so quickly.

Dimitri has weighed on Link's mind since their brief exchange of words on Set's Communion address. He wants to see his friend again. A part of him wants to make sense of the Dimitri he witnessed in the Tree's tunnels and the kind, regal king he'd come to see as a friend. That the man was still haunted by past trauma was clear to Link, even before it manifested as violence. But what degree of trauma causes a person to do that in the first place...? Would he do it again? Dimitri obviously regrets it and hopes he won't, but it seems this is not the first time he's broken promises to himself.

It's a hard feeling to put into words, but there is a drive within Link to help, even though he really has no idea how. Their friendship weighs on his mind as he departs from the Seat of the Tribune to make the trip to Dimitri's new house, a small wicker basket draped over one arm. When he knocks at the door, Dimitri will find him waiting with a calm smile on the other side, but something about Link seems... off. Normally never seen without his combat equipment, it's nowhere to be found. His hair looks noticeably longer compared to when they explored Cyrus' office, and even his ears seem different. But the smile is the same. ]
