John hates Groose, Sherlock quickly discovers.

The moment Link is back in the plaza and the ceremony is starting, John begins to murmurs abuse at the red haired guy.

"He's an idiot. Thinks he has a chance with my Zelda. I don't care if he gets better towards the end, don't mess with my Zelda."

Sherlock raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything.

Soon John's character is jumping off the ledge and calling it's Loftwing for the ceremony to begin. Sherlock's only been half following the story line and he can't really remember why they're doing this. He thinks that John's curses about Groose may have been what distracted him from the on screen explanation.

Not that it matters to him why the characters in this silly game do anything.

John easily controls Link to get to the bird he's chasing. There's a yellow statue attached to the bird and the first one of them to grab it wins the ceremony or something like that. Sherlock's not paying that much attention, honestly. Just glances here and there, really.

There's a cut scene where Link is reaching out for the statue. Sherlock almost smiles before suddenly Link and his Loftwing are knocked back by a thrown thrown at them.

Groose. John's right, he is an arsehole. Link was going to win that. Now he's set back.

"Don't hurt my Loftwing, bitch." John growls, throwing himself into catching up with the bird again and easily dodging the eggs now being thrown at his character.

If he's like this on a small part at the beginning of the game than Sherlock dreads to think what he'll be like when it's get towards the end.

Not that Sherlock plans to have the idiot football player in his room longer than he's forced to do so. Watching John play this game and get worked up is rather amusing, though.

It's barely a minute later than the game is showing another cut scene.

This time Link grabs the statue without Groose being a cheat. Sherlock smirks a little.

John glances over and if he noises Sherlock's facial expression he doesn't say anything about it. He does, however, allow himself a small smile before his eyes are back on the screen.

The prize for winning is a sailcloth that allows Link to jump for high places and glide to the floor.

Duh, duh, duhh...

Sherlock blinks at the noise as Link is handed the sailcloth. That's... very.. Yeah, Sherlock can see that noise getting annoying. Then again, most video games seem to be filled with annoying noises that pretty much confirm all video game companies hate parents and everyone else that lives with someone that lives gaming.

Sherlock feels bad for John's family.

Maybe you can tune the noise put after a while. Or learn to love them... Sherlock almost snorts at the thought.

"Zelda has nice hair, kinda like you Sherlock." John suddenly announces as he plays. "I'm calling you Zelda now."

"What the hell? She's blonde!" Sherlock exclaims, confused.

"Yes... but you have nice hair too. Her hair is nice, your hair is nice. You're Zelda."

Sherlock huffs. "I don't know if you're complimenting me or taking the piss."

"The first one." John grins.

Sherlock looks away with a frown. Idiot.
