TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE
There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.
A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.
Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

And Zelda... well, Zelda is happy to let him keep digging. He is so very fun to tease like this.
She matches Darin's step back with a step forward of her own. ]
True, you are quite a bit taller than Link. That is certainly worthy of his envy.
[ Her hand, the one she just poked him with, drifts to his arm. Zelda's eyes flit in that direction as she lazily up his forearm and over the curve of his bicep. ]
You are broad as well. Link is strong too, of course, but given his frame, he will always be lithe. I do wonder if he ever wishes he could put on more muscle~
[VIDEO/ACTION]
[Darin's eyes flit to Zelda's hand, then back to her face. Then back again. Gods that smile. That knowing, teasing smile. Zelda is beautiful and her joyous smile can light up a room. But it's that very assured smile that completely makes Darin weak at the knees.]
S-So...you know...what have I got to be jealous of? I was only just...y'yknow. I was just saying that 'I knew it' because...
[He clears his throat and lifts his gaze to the ceiling. His other hand absently moving to comb through his hair.]
Y-You guys have a deep bond! Y-Yeah! So...clearly...people can absolutely see the two of you dating.
[VIDEO/ACTION]
But he is still resisting, so perhaps it's time to switch tactics. ]
Mmm, you make a valid point. Link and I are very close. We have been through a lot together, shared a lot together. I suppose it is not too much of a stretch to see why people think we would be in love.
[ Zelda lets her concession hang in the air as she steps back from Darin, withdrawing her hand from his arm. She clasps her hands behind her back and gives him a sunny smile. ]
Since there's nothing for you to be jealous of, perhaps I should let you be about your business. I'm sure you still have much to do at the forge.

['Does that mean that it's a stretch for people to think she's in love with him?']
[He crosses his arms over his chest defiantly.]
N...Now hold on a second! I think that's a bit skewed! The way you talk about him would absolutely give that impression! But if I had met him before I got to hear you gush about him at every turn? I'm pretty sure I would have thought you were crazy!
I mean...come on! Link wanders around like one of those...crypto...crippy...
Like one of those weird monster things people make up stores about.
