Okay, I admit I'm not the best when it comes to technology but I'm seriously running out of patience here! All I want to do is text someone! I was able to text them before but then I changed their name in my phone and now I can't AND IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN'T GET NEAR CERTAIN PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THESE BRANDS BUT IF I CAN'T TEXT SOMEONE NOW EXPLODING PRISONS ARE GONNA BE THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES.
[Darin takes a deep, steadying breath. Normally, the person he would go to for tech support is Zelda. A person he cannot presently go anywhere near. So now he's the network's problem.]
Look. Okay. I just. I need someone to look at my contacts and tell me if I screwed something up. Because I don't know what I did. I just changed one contact. I change contact names all the time! All the time!
LOOK. HERE.
CAN ANYONE SEE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO TEXT SOMEONE AND EVERY TEXT I [Sounds of fingers furiously tapping] TRY [More tapping] I GET [TAPPING]

She's got her kingdom, after all. And...I don't know if I can go to Hyrule with her. Though, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested.
[Which means, he's abandoning his own world. Even with the threat of Dromas. Someone only he probably has the ability to stop.]

Asking her something like that...she'd never accept it. And I'm not saying it's because I'm me.
...It's because she's her. Committing to a life together when either one of us can be ripped away at any moment is...it's cruel. And I don't doubt that the main reason she'd refuse is out of concern for me.
That's why I'm looking into helping Cid and his crew. He wants to find a way to control the rifts so that doesn't happen. So people don't need to be needlessly torn away from one another.
Considering what I know about you and Shepard...it's a nice dream to have, isn't it?

[Getting the conversation turned on him at the end there, that smarts. And he turns his head away, mandible clamped tight against his jaw. It's cruel. Yeah, it sure is. He brought this on himself, but that doesn't mean it stings to think about.]
Right. Definitely a dream.
[SO ANYWAY -]
Want me to look at your phone problem?
