Tenuous State

"You don't think I'd make a good king?" He joked with an amused grin.

"All I'm saying is, I'd make a pretty good Queen." Gwene replied with an amused smile.

"We can dream, right," Konbei sighed.

"Hey, I've got you, and this wonderful home. That's all I need." Gwene said sincerely.

"I know," Konbei said. He leant over the table and gave her a small kiss. "Owning an army wouldn't be bad either though," he smiled.

"Why need an army when I have my own 'one man army'." Gwene replied with a sweet smile.

"Because we wouldn't get very far," Konbei retorted lightly. "Not even me."

"Its alright, so long as we stay here, we'll be safe from anyone, or anything here." Gwene said "And to speak strategically, the only way here is through the narrow path, and it won't be hard to deal with them if they have to walk in a single file."

Panthier's mood brightened up a bit as Facade offered him a job. This was shown as him drinking some wine and raising his brows. "Hm." he put down his glass and looked at Facade. "I don't know. I am a man of excitement, but I don't see much thrill in...delivery."

"Let's just hope they're not Gorons, then," Konbei said. "That path would become a bowling alley and our house would be the pins. It's weird, how all the tribes have become increasingly hostile lately..."

"Yeah, I just hope it doesn't lead to a civil war or anything." Gwene said.

"It would be one hell of a civil war..." Konbei said.

"I'm not sure which side I would choose though." Gwene said "I would side with the Hylian army, but I couldn't bring myself to harm the other tribes, maybe the Nova's."

"Isn't that your job?" Konbei said, amused.

"Well, yes." Gwene said "But I was only saying to make a point."

"I know you're a strong fighter," Konbei said. "But I don't know about the rest of the Hylian army. If it did come to a war, it would probably be all the tribes against you guys..." he looked over at Gwene with a slightly worried frown.

"Perhaps you might be more interested once you hear the particulars," said Facade as he leaned in closer. "The recipient resides in the Lost Woods and may decide she doesn't want to be found. Obviously, this translates into a certain amount of risk, and adequate remuneration."

Gwene smiled at Konbei "It's sweet that you are worried what might happen to me, but I have a duty to my country, and my friends. But I also have a commitment to my one and only, and I'm never going to leave you. But, I am going to choose you."

Konbei gave her a caring smile. "I'd just hate to see you in unnecessary danger," he said.

The caring smile made Gwene weak in the knee's and she laughed a bit "Oh come now, you know I wouldn't put my life in jeopardy like that. So long as we don't leave here, we will be safe, only a handful know where we are, and they wouldn't tell anyone." she stood from her chair and walked over to Konbei, sitting on his knee's and putting an arm around his shoulders "Besides, I've chosen to stay here with you."

Konbei sighed and his arms found Gwene's waist. "You know I can't just stay here if Hyrule is thrown into war."

"Well..." Gwene thought. "What if we helped Zelda with her investigations, we could prevent war."

Konbei paused a moment and looked at Gwene. "...Help Zelda?" He said, an eyebrow raised.

Gwene nodded "Yeah. She has done so much for us, I think it's fair we return the favour."

"She's done so much for you," Konbei corrected. "I don't have anything against her, it's..." he paused again and sighed. "Would war really be that bad?"
